Pro Series 8-Pattern Thumb Control Hose Nozzle - 26812

Impressive garden hose nozzle sprayer. Built solid. As soon as you hold it you can feel the quality. It is heavy in a good way because of it's handle the is very well made of metal and really nice rubber. And the sprayer it self is the best I have used to date. Jet is super powerful and the shower pattern is by far superior to anything else I have has in the past. The only con is that it does not have a "soaker" selection. I will modify one of the less used patterns into a "soaker".

I bought two of these to replace the ones I had for years. These sprayers work so good. There are a lot of options for spray patterns and there is a lever for how much water to spray. It will also turn off using one lever. My older ones were easier to read without my glasses, but I can tell by the spray which pattern is chosen or I can put my glasses on. I am so happy to have these and they are made by Orbit, so I knew they would be good.

Works fine, nice variety of spray options. But I find the control knob very stiff and not easy to regulate the water flow.

I had bought the Orbit 26812 Pro Series a few days ago and at the time, I thought it was leaking and set up a return. While I waited, I bought the Melnor 65020-AMZ today and tried it out. What I found out with both of these products is, once you start on one setting and then change to another setting without stopping the waterflow, both act like they leak but the really aren't. I think the water in the nozzle is there and when you change the setting, they both appear to leak...but that it not true! I made that mistake with the Orbit, and started a return but later realized the issue was by design probably. Wait about 10 seconds. Again, I waited for the Melnor, it acted the same so noticed that I was the problem and not the Orbit. That said, both have the same characteristics with changing the settings and leaking for 10 seconds or fewer. Both are fine and do not leak after due time of changing the spray settings. Now, the real comparison of power. I love both. I saw videos showing the Orbit as the most powerful. I thought it was compared to the cheap ones i had in the past. I love the slide mechanism on the orbit. With that said, I put both on Jet setting, and this Melnor shot out about 3 feet more than the Orbit which surprised me because of the youtube videos I saw. With that said, the shower setting, the Orbit won by a margin, not huge, but noticeable. Both are solid units, and I will keep both of them. They are heavy and seem well built. For the price, I will take my chances on the longevity and durability. They both seem solid to me. Do you like a static with the slide(orbit) or do you like to hold the handle with the Melnor? Either way, you can't go wrong.

Quality construction. Easy thumb control

Spray settings work well and feels well made, but the gasket doesn't seal the threads and it leaks from the bottom where it screws into the hose.

Purchased this sprayer in September 2024, about a year ago. I've purchased several trigger-style hose sprayers over the years, including ones that just have a volume adjustment tip and ones with the rotating dial to control stream type and none of them can match this one. The stream-type dial has held up well and has never come loose or gotten obstructed. I also appreciate the lever at the back to control and set stream volume/pressure. I'll sometimes use this to wash the dog outside and appreciate that I can easily control and set the stream volume to something that maintains just the right amount of pressure that doesn't make her want to run off. I also use it to wash the car and the stream pressure is excellent.

Solid piece of equipment. Strong spray. I use it to rinse my car after car wash.

This is the best handheld sprayer I've ever had. easy to use and the waterflow is excellent.

Good overall quality

Everyone should buy one ! From the easy on off keaver to the different spray patterns its excellent can water the plants , wash down the drive or clean the car with it. Really happy with it

Nice and solid metal gun.... eight watering patterns .... cool
