Ultimately, If you’re looking for a simple sprinkler that will last for years to come, Rain bird's brass tap will do just fine.

The sled-shaped base keeps it stable, even on rough ground, and there’s a standard Hozelock fitting for attaching the hose. Even among the best and most adjustable sprinklers, there are others that stand out, and for us it was the Karcher oscillating sprinkler pictured below . We suspect it won’t last as long as some of our contenders, but it’s a decent, budget sprinkler that’s fine for a small lawn or garden. They allow you to water large areas of your garden in one go, dripping water rather than saturating and giving a similar effect to a watering can, but without the need to head back to your tap to fill up and go again.Another maker with great pedigree is Kärcher, who has much expanded its offering aggressively over the past few years.

Not only is it a very efficient way of doing things, it also looks pretty cool and who doesn’t like to show a little? Gruntek’s mini lawn sprinkler is a great option for people with smaller lawns and lower water pressure. Though it’s worth mentioning it’s been through a thorough testing process - one that you could say has lasted (and survived) many years.

Probably not when there’s products like Orbit’s travelling sprinkler available, but for small to regular sized gardens it’ll do the trick. If you are looking for something a little more conventional for your rectangular lawn, then you can’t go wrong with the Costwise Pro Oscillating Bar Lawn Sprinkler, and for larger lawns, the Gardena Premium Full or Part Circle Pulse Sprinkler is by far the best in both build quality and performance.

If your lawn is uneven or it’s windy, it will probably flip over; they also usually have limited spray patterns.

The sprinkler includes a fine-mesh steel filter that traps any dirt in the incoming water and renders the unit virtually maintenance-free. The first issue is easily solved with a pin or something similar, but the second means that you have to keep an eye on the sprinkler while it does its job, which isn’t ideal. Hozelock has another great entry on our list with the Round Sprinkler Pro which works incredibly well regardless of your water pressure.
