What size Hozelock sprinkler should I get?

[NewspaperTaxis]

Give someone a choice you give them a dilemma.... The usual Hozelock rectangular sprinkler sold in Wilko is £25, covers180m squared. Next one up is £45 - 200m squared. Why so much difference in price - well, it offers a few more functions. All set to buy this, then see at my local garden centre one for £50 - see picture, these are the ones on the right, red and grey and a bit larger. It's not made clear really on the Hozelock website the big advantage here, though the bit you attach the hose attachment to is metal.

Also, this is for a back garden, it's quite large but I don't know, 120ft long at most, 40ft wide roughly. Is the £50 one for landed estates or something?

Am I gilding the lily by forking out for the larger, pricier one? The smaller one might work better for the front garden which is just a normal, small-ish lawn. What would you opt for?

Sprinklers are a really wasteful way of watering and grass does not need to be watered. I would save your money and not buy either

Are they the rocking to and fro ones? Do you have good pressure water supply Adequate for the big one?

I control how far it sprinkles by adjusting the water flow , I would find it handy to have a large sprinkler that covers the whole veg plot instead of doing it in 2 lots.

Thanks, I bought the cheaper one - not that cheap at about £25 - and move it around as and when. It works on the small front garden too.
I mean, I bought a hydrangea yesterday morning and put it out in the sun, the petals were like old paper today so they needed a water.
I don't water the grass that much but in a heatwave, well, I do like it to stay a bit green and not have it turn into a dust bowl.

Crikey! Are you not on a water meter?? 😳 How about a water butt and a watering can. Hydrangea would love that! I can’t believe you’re willing to just piss away this precious resource when so many of us do our bit for the planet.

We've got quite a big lawn and use the largest hose lock lawn queen, although we still have to move it around during the day. I'd go for a bigger one with the adjustment on it to make coverage smaller if need be.

I do the water butt and can thing too but the butt has run dry and it doesn't really work with a large lawn.
