I'm a long-time Dramm 1000 (and 400, the black one) user. At close to fully-on (certainly more than half) the water that came out of it was extremely fine. I also noticed it seemed really harsh for the soil on trees in pots. After using someone else', I broke down and bought a Masakuni watering wand this spring because it is as much better as everyone claimed. I was going to buy another for my second growing area, but instead I consolidated growing areas. The water is soft ...and gentle at every amount of flow. I'm also able to make sure I'm watering just the soil, keeping water off the foliage as is recommended for most species.
