We’ve considered nearly 100 hose-end sprinklers since 2013, and after another round of testing, we think the Melnor XT45200M offers the best combination of quality, value, and features for a homeowner looking to take care of a typical rectangular lawn.With its metal base and simple controls to customize the length, width, and water flow, the XT45200M can last several seasons and keep your grass green without watering the sidewalk.
