Gardena 8155 Premium 3-Pattern Garden Hose Watering Wand

My wife is a full-time home gardener with a half-acre of flower gardens, vegetable gardens, and patio plants. She has tried virtually every brand of watering tool on the market and complains about every one of them. I have boxes full of rejected and defective devices that clog, leak, or simply refuse to work. I'm talking hoses, wands, hand sprayers, lawn sprinklers, quick-connects (brass and plastic), etc. She hates them all.Then I found the German Gardena brand and, on a whim, ordered a sampling of everything they make (assuming I would be returning some, if not all, to Amazon. To my surprise, my wife loves them with a passion. They are so simply designed and constructed, yet work so effortlessly. The quick-connects are a dream (I haven't been called upon to fix one yet). The hoses have built-in connects that are easily replaced. The sprayers always work, never clog and never leak.In summary, the best ever. Leave it to the Germans.

Have been using this for a couple of months and so far I love it.The three main things I like are:1. The spray is softer, and causes less compaction of the soil, than the previous sprayer I used.2. The thumb controlled volume adjuster is extremely handy for instantaneous flow adjustments.3. The spray plate is metal and can be easily removed for cleaning if need be.One thing I wish it had is an adjustable length shaft so I could extend it to give a longer reach when needed.The shaft itself is metal, aluminum I believe, but the handle portion is covered with a hard rubberlike coating which keeps the handle warmer during use. The pattern I find most useful is the regular wide angle spray pattern. It two other patterns: ultra soft spray and jet. The former is useful for watering freshly seeded areas. I haven't had a need to use the jet spray since I only use this for garden irrigation.This is definitely a high quality product like all Gardena products I have owned.

I ordered this item because of its positive reviews, the manufacturer's description and, oh yes, because there are about four or five leaky wands laying around my garden and somehow a leaking wand makes me crazy. I'm happy to say it has lasted the summer and is still going strong without a leak. I'd have given it five stars but I'm still leery about whether it will be around for next summer. Makes you wonder, though, if Gardena knows how to make a "Premium" wand, why do they continue making others that are not premium?

The Gardena watering wand appeared to be solidly built and worked great for the past year or so. However, recently I dropped the wand onto the ground like I usually do when I am finished watering and the wand snapped from the handle. As mentioned by other reviewers, the inside handle connection was full of easily breakable plastic that just snapped. It's a shame because I kept telling my wife how much I liked this relatively expensive watering wand. Other than the design flaw, it worked great for as long as it lasted. Why not use metal instead of plastic it would probably improve the durability of the unit. I had a similar issue with the plastic quick connectors - they fail. I recently bought the metal ones hoping they would last longer.

The Dramm Kaleidoscope watering wand I purchased about 2 years ago started leaking from the handle mechanism after less than 1 year. Also, the pattern selector knob at the end of the unit became almost useless due to calcium buildup inside of it. I looked around on the internet and came across the Gardena 8155 watering wand and bought it since nothing else looked promising.So far it has done everything promised in the sales promotion info. The water flow is adjusted by a slider that is operated by the thumb. Once adjusted it stays at that flow until moved again. There is no need to "hold open" a water flow lever. The handle itself is well designed and very easy to use. The "soft spray" is what I use for plants and trees and does a super job. Other water wands may have more settings but I only need the 3 available with the Gardena 8155.I have used the Gardena 8155 for a little less than 2 months but I expect it to function for years. The engineering and quality of build appear to be very good.

I bought two in 2015. One broke (came apart) in less than a year. The other did the same in two years and 3 months. Glue is used to attach the metal quick-disconnect to the plastic handle of the wand. The glue failed. Perhaps if there were a greater surface area at the interface it would have held, but the current design is a design for failure.$128 for the two wands and they are junk.

This wand is adjustable from a stream to a spray. It also has the capability to adjust the flow rate or to stop the flow completely. It connects to a hose with little effort by the use of a quick connector. There is no leakage anywhere. It is light and very easy to use and adjust. This is a well constructed wand that is manufactured in Germany. I have become a Gardena fan because of the quality of their products and because of where they are made.

The media could not be loaded.  This is my second time now in June 2023 after buying the first Gardena 8155 wand in April 2021. Both times I received the same design which is different from the Amazon pictures.My guess it’s an improved design and I can say that after 2 years it’s still as good as new. What I don’t like is that the hose connector on the picture is metal while I got the cheaper plastic one.
