Comparison GARDENA Comfort Multi Sprayer 18315-20 vs GARDENA Premium Multi Sprayer 18317-20

Material

The main material used in the design of the atomizer.

— Plastic. Plastic is easy to process, which, firstly, reduces the cost (which is already low), and, secondly, facilitates the creation of parts of complex shape. At the same time, it is absolutely not subject to corrosion and calmly endures even prolonged contact with water, and its light weight makes it easier to hold in your hands, especially during long-term work. Another advantage is low thermal conductivity — in fact, this means that the atomizer will not cool your hands even when working with very cold water (or at least it will not cool as much as a metal one). Plastic is less durable than metal, but for most cases this strength is sufficient. Therefore, this material is very popular — mainly in inexpensive sprayers, but this is not limited to this.

— Metal. The metal stands out primarily for its high strength, which makes it easy to endure both shocks and shocks, as well as pressure drops in the hose. At the same time, it is noticeably more expensive than plastic (both by itself and because of the need to use waterproof alloys or coatings), and it can also get very cold hands when working with cold water. And the advantages mentioned are rarely critical. In the light of everything, all-metal products are extremely rare, mainly nozzles (see "Type") with minimal functionality.

— Plastic / metal. Cases that combine both of the options described above. Usually, parts that experience the g...reatest stress are made of metal — the trigger of the spray gun, extension rod, etc.; less critical elements are made of plastic. Thus, the design combines the advantages of both materials and mutually compensates (at least partially) for their shortcomings: the product is more durable than plastic, and at the same time it is much cheaper than metal. Note that here we are only talking about the body; plastic nozzles with metal nozzles (see below) are not included in this category.
