I too am of the mist camp.

I have absolutely no practical use for it, I just ship it for the aesthetic.

There are 3 settings. Shower, jet, and assorted versions of fucking useless.

Unironically love mist for extremely hot fuck off days where you run it for less than 10 secs and it cools you off fast.

Two settings: Thumb on / thumb off

Adjust as needed

Shower or center depending on what I'm doing in the garden. Jet is just for me ( Ν‘Β° ΝœΚ– Ν‘Β°)

Flat.

It delivers water faster than shower does, but at about the same low level of plant bothering.

Not my flat setting. That shit could peel paint I'm sure of it

Usually Jet because my water pressure is too low for anything else to reach the destination. Sometimes shower if I'm just gently dropping water on something. Mist if I'm trying to water the air for some reason.

Shower for watering things, jet for cleaning, glad they're side by side.

If the wind gets even slightly playful, that mist is right in my face.

I got that Dramm Heavy-Duty Brass Adjustable Nozzle, so I get that full-analog control and I feel like a fireman.

Also, this thing survives the winter, and the next five of them. That's why I bought it. Everything else would be cool until the next spring when it was a leaky failure. I had to replace llke 4 of the ones in the OP, fricken Walmart specials, shitty plastic, garbage seals. Not the Dramm. This thing's fit for Canada. It doesn't care if it froze all winter, it's ready for spring, leak free.

I get all these settings, and every gradient in-between, unlike the peasantry. Can you imagine? How droll. Merely 7 choices. Genteel shudder

Only $17 on Amazon, so load that one up for a Father's Day gift. Mother's Day gift, too, you know she loves that garden. Did your friend just transition? Dramm garden hose nozzle, welcome to the elite, I put a little bow on it. Hell, I think I'd give it for Christmas to the right person. Dramm 12380, investment grade equipment, real Buy It For Life shit.

Fr, you're only holding yourself back by choosing one setting and sticking to it

But then you can't build your entire personality around this one arbitrary decision.

I'm mostly cleaning some manner of shit off myself, kids, deck, or grill, so jet is my pick.

5

Center because it's strong enough to get the crust off, yet sensitive enough to not break through the skin.

Soaker of course. I mean who doesn’t like a good soaker?

What is soaker even for? I have yet to find a use for it.

When you need to get something wetter than you could on mist, but don't want any pressure behind it. Like wetting a ball of dirt and roots before replanting something. Mist wouldn't get all the way through and any pressure might wash away the dirt.

It's gotta be Cone. Still enough power along the edges to get a fine line, but enough spray to make it nice and refreshing, and satisfying

2

Shower for watering plants, jet for cleaning, no nozzle if I'm going to be letting the water run across the irrigation I've set up for the trees

2

Cone, let's you chose how spread out the water comes out is by squeezing harder or softer

Don’t limit yourself, hoses are also great for spraying unruly children and innocent passersby!

I don't have a fancy garden hose like this, though I think mist is my favorite. my handheld shower head is similar, but with just shower/center, and out of those my favorite is laminar flow-like (unscrew the shower head and rawdog the end of the hose) (just in general, not very practical for showering per se but it feels very nice and is just better in all situations except maybe like, washing your hair)
