The hose is so much better than the standard hoses I've used all my life. I like that it expands, so I don't need a large hose to water an extended area. It's a lot easier to wind around my water pipe than the old rubber hoses.

This is not ported like a regular garden hose. It has very small openings in the brass end fittings, approximately 1/4" diameter on both ends. These are standard garden hose fittings, but are restricted way down, which greatly reduces the volume of water available at the discharge end. The hose itself also appears to be a small diameter, but it is encased in a black fiber sheath, so it is not visible for measurement.This hose should be okay for watering flowers and other casual gardening uses…

It is a flex hose and this model does that well. What I think is first rate are the connectors and shut off valve. The connectors are made of brass and spin freely to allow easy and tight connection to your outdoor spigot or another hose. The shut off valve is easy to use and shuts off water flow completely.

Exactly what I hoped for and expected. A lightweight hose that shrinks down when not in use. Only had it a couple of months, but no issue so far.I especially like the ball valve at the end of the hose - I wish all hoses had that.

I have had this for one year and three months rarely using it and now it has water coming out from a multitude of spots rendering useless. Of course, it’s just past the warranty. This is the second time I have bought one of these and will never do that again. The way they are made very easily lends itself to holes. Frankly, these are not well made.The photo shows the results of this hose without the nozzle even being open.

After one year usage it started to leak in two areas. We only used it in our garden summer timeDo not buy this hose. Unless you wanted to get hosed buy the manufactory.Next

In all fairness I only hooked up and tested it briefly. However the construction seems to be very strong but very flexible and the brass fittings make connecting very easy. When water is turned off it shrinks back to original size but but seems to have the 25 feet length when in use. Without extended use I still feel I feel confident that this is a very good product.

Wish I had bought the 50 ft. hose it was a real good buy, at a lot less then twice the price of 2 25 footers. Ralph May not work well in extreme temperatures.

Ok, I bought one of these a few years back and loved it, eventually it started leaking after 2 years and felt I got my monies worth. Not bad for a TV marketed hose by the guy from Tool Time. I purchased this one in may and 5 month in it springs a leak and is useless. No exchanges because no-one stands behind their product. I shouldn't say no-one there are a few who want returning customers.

I love an older pocket hose or expanding hose I have so my husband bought me another one when the old one did what they all do & sprung a leak. This new hose has beautiful brass fittings on each end & an on / off switch. But this hose does not expand like the old one did. I tried it without a sprayer nozzle attached & I tried it with a nozzle attached & neither way produced any hose expansion whatsoever. The hose remained whatever length it is dry - about 9' I think. It's back to the Walmart…

Overall great product just not sure if the durability one I Purchased is great the other leaked shortly after purchase That's my feedback.

I got this to use with my RV. When emptying the holding tanks, I wanted a hose to use for cleaning the drain & the sewer drain hose. This flexible, black hose does the trick. It's easy to handle and store. I'm happy with it so far!

This is my second one of these hoses. I have a 100’ for around the yard and I recently bought the 25 footer for my boat. My 100’ hose has been abused for a couple of years and it’s just as strong and sturdy as when I bought it.

Performs as advertised. I have used this product before and it performs as advertised. The downside is that it may not last over a year if left outside all the time. I have purchased two of these before and had to replace them when they burst after about a year.

I don't write many reviews but this product deserves one. For 35 years I've had an unsightly hose on my deck, sometimes coiled against the wall but more often just laying there. This hose practically disappears when not in use and is very easy to use. Works perfectly and shrinks up when you're done with it just by keeping the nozzle open for a bit after the bib has been shut off. It's a small thing but I'm thankful for it every day. Top marks.

I have several of these types of hoses. unfortunately i ordered 25ft, but without pulling on the hose it only reaches between 12 -15 ft when filled. I have only used 2xs so far and maybe it will take time to stretch out. The on/ off nozzle is convenient. The item was delivered on time and the Seller sent a great welcoming email. if the hose would have come close to the 25ft i would have given 5 stars.

I really liked this product when I first got it. It works as advertised and quickly collapses into a convenient coil when not in use.The problem appears to be in that very elasticity. Elastic materials don't typically have a long shelf life. In the case of this garden hose, that shelf life is apparently less than a year. As you can see from the included photos it leaks like a sieve. In fact it leaks so much now that absolutely no water actually comes out of the other end of the hose.If you…

Every one of these types of hoses that I have had failed. They all busted and leaked. And buy the most expensive one does not help either. I have had mine for only two weeks and so far so good. It had good reviews, so I am trying it. My last one just barely made a year before failing. I hope this one last much longer.

I liked this hose because it is easy to install and works well I just bought it so I don’t know how whether it is going to last

This was one of the better buys out there. The two ends have a brass "sleeve" which makes it extra sturdy to handle, especially when the hose material is not stiff. One end has a valve, so you can conveniently shut the water without going to the faucet. It shrinks quite a lot when water pressure is removed, making it very handy to store. I highly recommend this product.
