Our reviews are verified for authenticityI just received the nozzle and can’t speak to durability. I plan to use it for a second hose location at home. I like almost everything I find expect that its trigger operates opposite the one I’ve been using for years at the first hose location. On the new one, you pull the lever back to turn it on, forward to stop water. I’m used to it being the other way and it will require thinking to operate, especially having two operating differently. I can’t call this a fault, but now I wonder times I’ll be squiring things (and myself) unexpectedly.
Mine works great. I know other people had problems with the ‘shower’ feature and the on/off slider, but mine totally works. I have had nozzles in the past (different brands) that had both those problems, so I just assumed it was part of the nozzle-lottery. But so far (week one) no problems at all, all settings work great, slider works as it should, doesn’t leak, doesn’t need rubber rings, easy to install.
Lightweight and easy to hold. Only thing I don’t care for is the position of the on/off lever. Awkward to me to have the thumb lever up for off. The lever being down for off makes for a more comfortable hold and control for me instead of having to reposition my hand or having to Involve a second hand. This sprayer replaces another one I have had for a while, so maybe I find the new one awkward due to the thumb lever being down for off on my old one
I used this to wash the exterior windows on my house, and it made the job quick and easy! Attached to a regular garden hose with no problem. I love that I can adjust the soap to water ratio. After cleaning the windows I used diluted bleach to wash moss and ick off of a painted concrete patio, then after a thorough rinsing I used it to spray vinegar/salt solution over all the cracks in my driveway to kill weeds. Tomorrow I'll probably just add some regular dish soap and wash my car. Some reviews said they had issues with leaks, so I was expecting the seal to be only so-so but I had no issues whatsoever. Another cool feature is that when you pull the "trigger" it locks in the open position so your hand doesn't cramp up when using this for extended periods of time. When you're ready to close off the water flow you just pull the trigger and it releases smoothly.
