Expert Reviews


What experts liked

The standard XT4200 had a longer maximum spray in our testing—more than 25 feet in each direction, compared with about 20 feet of length on the XT4200M, for a total coverage of approximately 4,200 square feet.
You can adjust both the length and width of spray for perfect coverage
What I like most about this sprinkler is its three-way spray pattern adjustment.
The 18 soft rubber nozzles provide great coverage.
20 precision nozzles
The lightweight plastic gets very easily adjusted and provides brilliant operation
You can target just one part of the lawn, or you could leave it wide open to cover a large area that would be almost 3000 square feet.
This sprinkler has the unique benefit of a more flexible water pattern selection and the capacity to cover a larger area which is ideal for bigger lawns.
Use the adjusters to control the spray pattern so you can water a large swath of lawn or a narrow garden bed.

What experts didn't like

It was prone to more wind drift than the XT4200M.
The plastic adjusting levers are pretty fragile.
Makes a loud clicking noise
Few consumers have opined that the width control built should have been better as it’s a bit fragile.
You might think this sprinkler is too complicated
