Tuin & buitenleven › Comparison
According to GARDENA, the AquaZoom M waters up to 14 metres wide and the compact up to 12 metres. Both have a stated range of 3 to 18 metres; the shape of the area to be watered determines which setting is usable.
This analysis compares publicly available Dutch manufacturer specifications and store terms. Zovif has not performed its own watering or pressure test or systematically analysed consumer experiences.

The documented differences
| Product | Manufacturer specifications | Practical consideration |
|---|---|---|
| AquaZoom compact, 18708-20 | 9–216 m²; range 3–18 m; width 3–12 m | Round base; the manufacturer positions this model for vegetable and flower beds. |
| AquaZoom M, 18712-20 | 9–250 m²; range 3–18 m; width 3–14 m | The manufacturer positions this model for lawns; greater maximum width. |
Measure the area in two directions
For the same area, length and width can differ considerably. The M’s additional maximum width only has value if it can be used within the area to be watered.
The area figures are manufacturer specifications. Achievable coverage with a particular tap, hose and water pressure has not been measured here.
Base, adjustment and maintenance
The compact has a round base and is positioned by the manufacturer for vegetable and flower beds. The M is positioned for lawns; no comparative measurement of stability or water distribution is available.
A path or patio within the spray area may limit the usable setting. The filter and spray openings require maintenance according to the model instructions.
Price for the same version
On 4 November 2026, the manufacturer’s Dutch product pages list €44.99 for 18708-20 and €51.99 for 18712-20, including VAT and excluding delivery. These are dated store observations; checkout prices and stock may change.
The product-price difference alone is €7. Required connectors, a hose and delivery form part of the total purchase cost.

Dutch article numbers and delivery costs
Which Dutch article numbers are compared?
GARDENA Netherlands lists 18708-20 for the compact and 18712-20 for the M. A different code may indicate a different package or part.
Do the quoted Dutch manufacturer prices include delivery?
No. The product pages state that VAT is included and shipping is separate; a product price shown on its own is not a total price.
What does the Dutch GARDENA webshop charge for a small order?
The shipping information lists €6.99 for orders below the free-shipping threshold. This is GARDENA’s own condition and does not confirm Amazon.nl charges.
Can GARDENA Netherlands deliver to a parcel locker according to the shipping page?
The shipping page consulted excludes collection points and other non-personal delivery addresses. Check the delivery option available for your own order.
Is the AquaZoom M store link here confirmed for 18712-20?
The previous purchase link mixed 18712-20 and 18714-81, so it is not included as a confirmed offer. The GARDENA reference leads to the documented M; it is not an affiliate link.
Considerations before buying
The compact is an option for a suitable vegetable or flower bed; the M offers greater maximum width for a suitable lawn. An area outside the adjustment range or insufficient coverage at your own connection requires another solution. Check the AquaZoom M version and current total price.
