It appears there is a very similar model that may have replaced the OP linked model. The new model received many more recent reviews and unfortunately they are pretty terrible reviews, mainly related to leaking or the inability to control water flow. https://www.costco.com/.product.100783291.html

I got this last week when the price dropped to $9.97. I opened it last week end and tried the single mode one that worked fine. After reading the reviews, I probably should return it. Anyway, there is no hurry in returning things at Costco.

Things break every year.

Is there any nozzle I can buy that I won't have to replace every year?

It's seems like a common complaint with this set is that it begins to leak after awhile when adjusting the dial to a different spray pattern. I have disassembled many of these multi spray patterned nozzles over the years to clean and when you take out the screw in the front you will see the small rubber o-ring that is supposed to prevent leaks when set on a specific pattern. If the o-ring drys out or perhaps gets a layer of calcium on it, it can stop sealing OR if it slips out of position same thing happens…water goes around the o-ring and leaks out the front. Frustrating but fixable in most cases UNLESS there is an inherent manufacturing flaw that allows the washer to not keep in place.

Anyhow, about every 1-2 seasons I take the screw out of the front, soak overnight in vinegar and use a non metal brush to scrub clean before re-assembling! I also use silicone grease on the o-ring and a dab of grease on the plastic spring loaded detent tit, re-assemble and good to go! I usually get quite a few years before having to replace and usually it is because I may have dropped the head on a weak area of the unit ie plastic piece etc.

WORD OF CAUTION if you disassemble to clean: Before removing the screw from the front point the face of the sprayer upward as the detent "tit" coupled to a small spring can easily fall out and be lost forever especially in the grass,etc. If this gets lost the unit is worthless as this keeps the head from spinning freely while on a setting.

I have couple from Sun Joes that seems to hold up pretty well. It is plastic but I try to keep them out of the hot Arizona sun as much as I can. I have them for couple years, seem to hold up.

I thought these would hold up for a little while. Unfortunately, I think I had 3 days before it broke.

That's a great deal

That said, I found that these kind of lever-type nozzles tend to leak after a year, 2 max. I have since switched to the trigger-type nozzles. They will eventually leak too but they tend to last quite a bit longer (3+ years easily).

I can confirm. Got this exact set in 2020 and it leaks. It happened at the final end where connects to the hose it had a seam separate.

I'm using Sam's Club Member Mark fireman style nozzles and they've been great this season. We'll see if they hold up though…

The aftermarket filters you get for these will not fit (too small) or clog the fan.

i have the fireman too and it lasts long, but its so annoying to use it with the way you turn it on and off, plus i never remember which way is on and then end up spraying shit when i turn the water on from the main spout
