FANHAO Handheld Pressure Spraying Watering Reviews Summary

Build Quality

Pros:

• "The double seal where the handle connects to the hose is a high quality feature."
• "It feels good and sturdy and is nice to hold."
• "This garden nozzle is so awesome that I later purchased more!"
• "It definitely sprays way better than I thought it would! It’s the only sprayer that I will buy from now on!"
• "Very strong stream and no leaks - which is what I wanted!"
• "The gun appears to be of good quality and looks like it's going to last a lot longer than the pile of broken plastic ones I have in the shed."
• "This is a well-made, durable nozzle, functional and easy to use."

Cons:

• "I think the aluminum must be corroding and fusing to the brass."
• "THEY WANT YOU TO THINK THIS IS QUALITY WHEN IT IS REALLY JUST A SHINY PIECE OF TRASH."
• "It is a very limited nozzle."
• "While this is a good quality, it is not easy to get a soft spray, you beat your flowers to death."
• "They both leak terribly where the hose attaches."
• "I bought a metal spray nozzle thinking it would be better than plastic. Unfortunately it leaks from the spray pattern nozzles that are not in use."
• "This was a good garden sprayer until it cracked, I have owned it less than a year and I am disappointed that it no longer works."

Design and Ergonomics

Pros:

• "I like the construction of this handle - it looks durable and the spray is as strong as I hoped it would be."
• "This nozzle allows the spray pattern to be adjusted just like the standard hose nozzle."
• "The front is easy to adjust exactly where you want it."
• "I use this nozzle watering plants in my garden and container gardens on my deck. I like that the trigger allows me to save water between locations without having to turn off the water at the spigot. Water conservation!!"
• "Pops straight on to a hozelock fitting."
• "The clicks between settings are firm, so you don’t overshoot your setting."
• "Works well and easy to use. Love the thumb control. Works so well and eliminates a squeeze handle."

Cons:

• "As advertised, but would be improved by some sort of flow control."
• "The short trigger is hard to hold for extended times and doesn't work well to adjust the stream flow."
• "Also have to pull the trigger so hard that you end up blowing everything out of a planter."
• "I wanted to love this sprayer, but it's not quite what I expected. Very difficult to fine tune the amount of water with the trigger."
• "While it does have a rubberized grip, it’s thin and doesn’t provide the best insulation against cold water."
• "One downside though, I wish I would have gotten the longer trigger version."
• "The trigger mechanism is pretty much binary--all the way on or all the way off."

Durability and Reliability

Pros:

• "I've tried cheaper nozzles, but inevitably drop them on concrete and they never work right again."
• "We went through so many plastic hose attachments that we wanted a proper metal piece. This thing fits the bill in terms of being sturdy, however, it has a slow leak no matter which hose we use."
• "I will be looking up the brand seeing if they make other durable products like this! Maybe the best Amazon purchase I’ve made in at least the last year!"
• "I think it is high-enough quality that it would last a long time."
• "While I've only recently received this nozzle so can't vouch for its durability, its hefty, solid metal construction feels durable, and it may well outlast my plastic ones."
• "This is be far the most sturdy Garden Hose Nozzle Sprayer that I have ever found."
• "This nozzle is well made of quality materials."

Cons:

• "Don’t fall for the 5 star reviews. This product operates under the assumption that if it’s more expensive, then it will last longer."
• "I wanted to love this nozzle. Unfortunately it didn't make it even 1 full season before it started leaking like all the cheap ones do."
• "Within a few months of use, deposits begin to form in the nozzle which makes the concentrated stream less effective."
• "After one season, the first one had the brass cap on the back completely disintegrate when we tried using it this season."
• "Seemed so good at first I bought several more as gifts after initially buying one at a hardware store. Later leaks developed from the trigger rod and also from the back cap in the 'pistol hammer' position."
• "Seems heavy duty but after a few months it leaks water profusely out of the trigger shaft."
• "The metal is extremely soft and will fail if left in the slightest of cold weather."
