Dieser Schlauch ist durchaus wertiger als die 08/15 noname Gartenschluche aus dem Discounter. Jedoch kann auch dieser Schlauch schnell mal knicken, wobei der Knick keinen dauerhaften Schaden im Schlauch anzurichten scheint. Langzeit-Haltbarkeit kann ich nach nur einem Sommer noch nicht bewerten.
I have only used the hose a few times so far but found that it doesn’t twist at all which is a tremendous improvement on my old one. It is quite heavy but that isn’t a problem and easy to coil up on a ring for storage. So far well worth the money as it is very easy to use.
I have had this hose 3 months now, and really like it. It is robust enough, and looks smart in my garden. This is a quality product from Gardena. I purchased this when it was on promotion hence my ‘value for money’ score being high.
Disappointed really, it kinks quite badly and doesn’t roll well onto my 50m hose real. Not the best purchase I have made which is disappointing given the cost. I thought it would be good because my old shorter Gardena hose was wonderful.
I was looking for a garden premium hose because I am fed up with cheap hoses bending and not lasting one or two years and after reading the most of reviews on the Gardena brand I order the GARDENA Premium SuperFLEX 30m Hose, I have cut my hose in two parts of 15m each my garden is only 10m so this way it value for money also it a very thick hose and hard to cut but it do cut so it will last longer been thick and now after using it for two months I am happy, it never bends so in future I will stick to the Gardena brand.
I purchased this at a bargain price that was offered and found it of excellent quality. Really pleased with it. It certainly isn’t lightweight especially when laden with water. I have had other hoses and connections in the past that have leaked but this seems sound and of good quality. I have returned back to a solid hose due to my experience with a X-Hose which has burst on me on two occasions, although the principal of these hoses are good in service their longevity doesn’t seem to be that long plus the fittings supplied seem cheap and nasty. The Gardena hose and connections look good and have a quality feel to them.
Old hose was blowing fittings of with our high pressure water.plus it would keep on kinks. But am well pleased no kinks and fittings to tap and hose hold on full tap open.
Der Schlauch ist gut.
Stabil genug, dass er nicht abknickt oder sich verdreht. Auch hat er genug Grip, so dass die Anschlsse nicht abrutschen.
Soweit kann ich der Artikelbeschreibung recht geben. Was aber nicht heisst, dass er GAR nicht abknickt und sich GAR nicht verdreht… Die vielen Rezensionen hier, die das bemngeln, die sollten sich wohl besser Rohrleitungen verlegen lassen. Es ist immerhin ein Schlauch, meine Gte!
Also ich bin zufrieden damit.
Auch wenn er gerne ein bisschen gnstiger sein knnte. Gardena eben.
Nachdem wir zuvor (wie die meisten) einen gnstigeren Schlauch verwendeten, bei dem sich immer der Schlauch bei aufgedrehten Wasser am Verbindungsstck so ausgedehnt hat, dass er sich aus der Muffe (Gardena) lste, entschieden wir uns, dieses Produkt zu erwerben. Und was soll ich sagen?!
Genau DAS Problem wurde zuverlssig gelst. Nun hlt alles bombenfest. Auch bei dauerhaft aufgedrehten Wasser.
Die oftmals besagten Probleme mit dem Verdrehen- gerade beim Aufwickeln kann ich zwar durchaus nachvollziehen, jedoch denke ich, liegt es oftmals eher an der Methode des Aufwickeln. Denn nachdem ich merkte wie sich dieser Schlauch verhlt & ich die Methode des Aufwickeln entspr. anpasste, klappte es.
Daher kann ich mich bisher ber nichts beschweren und bin durchaus zufrieden.
Ergo: Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
Very happy with the hose. It’s structure means it’s less inclined to pinch in use, compared to the previous hose I had.
Purchased hose to replace hose that was 20 years old, Gardena hose much higher specification than I’d yellow hose. It’s possible to kink the hose but not as easy to do as old hose, good purchase and it fitted on hose lock reel
Excellent quality garden hose that does the job and will last many years. Good value as well.
Fed up with even branded hose. Most of them started leaks
when left a bit longer with garden water pressure. Bought premium flex. Initially it looks good and quality made. Now waiting to see how it performs over the time
War mir erst nicht sicher aufgrund der vielen negativen Rezensionen hier. Aber dann dachte ich mir, das Produkt gibt es seit langem bei Obi, Hornbach usw. zu kaufen. Wenn der Schlauch wirklich so schlecht sein sollte, wie hier viele in den Bewertungen schreiben, wieso haben diese Mrkte diesen Schlauch solange schon in ihrem Sortiment. Nun, weil er gut ist und deshalb gekauft wird. Mein Vorschlag: Ignoriert die Amazon Rezensionen, die sind absolut nicht reprsentativ, informiert euch stattdessen im Internet aus verschiedenen Quellen und entscheidet dann.
Because this was the basic hose in the range I was worried it might be a bit naff. But I’ve had no problem with this hose. It doesn’t kink up and it rolls on and off our wall unit easily. Allows powerful water flow and is compatible with all hose lock and Gardena attachments, as well as pressure washers.
So far very good. To replace my older hoselink that kinked everywhere ( admittedly it was 10 years old) and fittings started to pop off all the time. I think better than others on market for strength and also fittings. It has ridges on hose that allow grip for fittings. Doesn’t kink easily. Impressed and will buy more. Recommend
Good quality product wish I had discovered it years ago
Hose with proper fittings works well with zero leaks
Having read some of the other reviews mentioning fighting with a snake I too found myself with 30M of uncontrollable coils of hose. Having muttered a few choice words I laid the hose out as best I could and left for 24Hrs. Now the hose has lost its kinks and coils and I was able to wind it on to a reel without any problem.
All in all it seems like a good buy!
Good value for money and well made. The blue/grey/white colour makes it more visible and less likely to be a trip hazard when in use.
Leggo recensioni che lamentano attorcigliamenti e schiacciature. Beh, per esperienza dico che NON esitono tubi da giardino che non si possano attorcigliare o schiacciare. Il punto che bisogna sapere posare il tubo, dalla posizione arrotolata a quella lineare. I tubi da giardino tendono sempre a conservare la forma a rotolo, come fa un cavo elettrico, perch quella la posizione che il prodotto assume subito dopo la produzione. Tender sempre a formare un elica, per cui quando lo si posa sul prato, va distribuito partendo dalla base, dove collegato al rubinetto, e posato metro per metro, in modo da non assecondare l’attorcigliamento ad elica. Le schiacciature poi non sono altro che le eliche tirate al massimo, producendo appunto una torsione tale da schiacciare il tubo. Se lo si posa con cura, il tubo sar perfettamente morbido, non si schiaccia, non forma angoli, e funzioner alla perfezione. Molti pensano che il tubo debba seguirli, srotolandosi come per magia, ma non esiste tubo che si comporti in tale maniera. Consigliatissimo.
Der Schlauch hat einen sehr gute Flexibilitt die sich aber erst nach 3-4 Wochen einstellt.
Sowie bei vielen anderen Bewertungen war ich erst stocksauer. Der Schlauch knickte beim Aufrollen auf eine Trommel pausenlos ein und es war wirklich ein riesiger Aufwand das Ding auf die Trommel zu zwingen. Gott sei Dank kam danach erst einmal viele Tage Regen und ich hatte keinen Bedarf den Schlauch zu nutzen. Danach (ohhh Wunder) war der Schlauch wie umgewandelt: kein Einknicken und gute Flexibilitt; das strrische Biest war verschwunden und nun performt er so gut wie mein uralter Gardena-Schlauch. Falls von Interesse: der Schlauch wird im Auenbereich/Halbschatten aufbewahrt.
Just as described. Heavier then my previous hose but still easily manageable. No more kinks.
Amazon are selling Gardena 50m hosepipe, Gardena connector hose, and Gardena Aquaroll Easy hose cart as a package. But there no connectors to either end of the hosepipe to connect to the cart or the spray attachment. I’ve had to order these separately at an extra cost of 12.
Not a great package in the end!
Good quality hose although it can get kinked and the water stopped if you don’t pull it right out.
I’ve ran this round the perimeter of my patio (for a permanent water feature) and its flexible enough to get almost into the corners. Seems decent quality and would buy agai
Have used Gardena garden products for years and had to replace my hose after 36 years use. Yes 36 years. This is lightweight and seems to be good quality like my last one. Hopefully this will last as long.
Seems very good quality, and does what i need it to do. and the grips on the pipe really do work at keeping the plastic fittings tightly on.
Had no issues at all with these ones. Durable construction.
As you would expect – does the job. Good quality, flexible and fits all standard connectors.
A Well made, reasonably sturdy German made hose. It does have a mind of it’s own until it is wound around a hose reel. But after a couple of times of extending and retracting the hose, it is tamed, and will settle down. A very distinctive colour scheme too. I am very delighted with my purchase.
Heavy duty quality hose which should last much longer than cheaper items which due to thinness soon deteriorate.
If untwisted after pulling out ( or unrolling which avoids twisting, not so easy as not on a reel, ) the hose will lay straight with no kinks. It has a 2 color length stripe which makes it easier to untwist
If you continually walk in the same circular direction while using it you twist it up again and have to untwist to avoid kinks. Alternatively if you circle clockwise 1st time and anti clockwise second time & repeat this sequence every time you use it you will not twist & get kinks. Same applies to electric lawn mower cables Irons etc. NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THIS! judging from the complaints in the ratings.
Why manufacturers of coiled items don’t warn you of this & instruct buyers how to avoid this is beyond me.
Kinking of hose pipes is exceedingly annoying. Kinking of electric cables is ultimately dangerous as it breaks the internal insulation leading to short circuit which may cause harm. If your cable appears “knobly” then it is kinked & should be unkinked. The knobs show you which way it is twisted so you can twist it the opposite way.
Hope this helps some of you.
It’s a hose. I needed a lightweight hose, but the collapsible flat boxes just perish too easily. This one is more robust but not as light as the flat type. That said it seems a reasonable hose for a fair price. It can kink so don’t pull at it or it could shut your water off.
Strong hose which took a bit of wrestling to uncoil on receipt. However after getting under control am very pleased. Gardena informed me no need to register for 25yr warranty as proof of purchase enough. I was very happy to be able to use a hose without lots of holes and leaks!!
The hose pipe is good, string, sturdy and does what it needs to no problem, and a good price. However, this was delivered to my Grandad who is 84 years old, and early 84 years old as he struggles to walk. Anyway for some reason the driver DEMANDED to see some form of ID to prove he was over 18 and it was an age restricted item!! Absolute joke for a man who struggles to move, he had to fish out his passport he not used for 10 years. Hassle and waste of time, left my Grandad feeling vulnerable
Quality item which does not kink or twist. Expected a long service time
Superb hose, replaced an old hozelock one which had seen better days!
The Gardena one is brilliant, doesn’t kink and is superb quality, I’m really pleased!
A lovely maluable hose, so much better than the cheap ones you are use to. I like the colour too 🙂
It’s a hose pile. it seems like a pretty good one but it is just a hose pipe. It will kink if you wind it up with out taking out the kinks but it does seem to have a top and a bottom so if you wind it carefully in always spools the same way. But it isn’t magic it’s a good quality hose pipe.
Doing the job needed. Only time will tell if it is durable.
The old one was just that, Old. This is pretty and does the job and feels pretty robust.
I bought a new Hozelock 50m hose early this year to replace an old Hozelock that had had it time. At first all was well, then the hose split so had to trim back, then again split, then again and so on And despite claims, kinked terribly causing damage. It was so poor it didn’t even last a year!!!!. I switched to the Gardena Premium Superflex. In comparison far more robust, inner tubing is more robust and stronger. It even looks more premium. Its strong enough not to kink yet still able to rolled up when I’ve finished with it. Highly recommend.
Impressed with this hose, much more flexible than my previous hose. Fitted well on my hose reel and looks very durable, time will tell
Light, easy to roll, doesn’t kink. good value hose pipe.
Compared to the other main manufacturer of hoses and attachments, the Gardena ones are so much better, love them. Last for years and work well.
Purchased this item as I fell out of love with my old hose which kept kinking. This one is great and great value for money and service.
Good value for a 30m Gardena Classic hose,
More durable and longer lasting than other cheap hose pipes
I chose this hose because it seemed to be good value for its features, and was thinking that being lightweight was an important characteristic for me, as I am not in the first flush of youth anymore. However, compared with my old hose (which blistered and eventually ruptured but was as stiff and heave as anything) this is quite pliable and light, which means that it’s very easy to get a kink in it as you are moving along the garden. I might be able to sort it out eventually, but when I installed it today it was a bit like fighting with an Anaconda…Overall. it seems to have been a good purchase though.
My first purchase of a Gardena hose. Attaching end fittings was not quite so easy as with a cheap hose. So far I’m impressed by the quality and its flexibility without kinking. I will look forward to trying other Gardena items.
Previous hose had become both brittle and dog chewed with a few too many leaks and after cutting off bits/shortening the hose had finally had it.
Decided on this one, a hose is a hose right !!! and thought the colours we’re slightly better too and comes from a good brand of products as GARDENA.
Hose arrived on all fine.
Removed all hose and off to hose heaven that one went — kept a few lenghts as you never know what you can use a hose for.
My first impressions of the new one, were a bit “uh oh”, as taking it out of the packing and trying to unravel, so I could wind onto our reel (see pic), this kinked and twisted all over the place and was a bit of a pain.
Persisting for a few mins, got most of these out the way and connected and wound onto the reel we have.
Once on the reel, extened out and wound back in a couple of times just to check and it’s been fine ever since, so it was only really the intial un-packing.
It’s a nice hose “light” to unravel when the water is off, obviosuly heavier when water is on.
Seem robust, strong and had no issues in use. I’m actually writing a 2nd review on the head/spray gun too as this is a great product to completment the hose (again colour wise) however also for a practical use point too — this isn’t a Gardena product but I’d really recommend this.
The reason some reviewers have had problems with the hose twisting is they didn’t unroll it properly. It needs to be unrolled so that the stripes running down the hose are straight. If you just pull it out from the coil, it will be very twisted and will be hard to manage.
So far so good. Used it once, no leaks or kinks. Went onto an older hose real easy enough.
Great hose pipe , doesn’t kink or loose pressure , just what I was looking for.
Looking for a hose that is reasuringly weighty and sturdy? Then buy this Gardena Comfort Flex one.
This Gardena hose is absolutely superb, it screams quality and you don’t really need anything else. For those interested Hozelock connectors will fit it. I’m only using some Hozelock connectors as a convenience and safety system against water damage, more about that later.
The Gardena connectors are perfect and are made for this hose because they are made to lock into the grooves that go around it to make it even more watertight seal.
I’ve set up this hose differently than most as it is connected to an indoor supply using the Gardena connectors. Despite the quality of this hose I’ve cut it into two lengths, so that the part that leaves the indoor supply (3m), can be joined outside my back door as I don’t have room under the sink for a full 30m hose to be stored in any case. I’ll then be able to safely connect them together outside the house using the Hozelock system (which I bought when I bought the dreadful Hozelock hose that I returned), so if they leak it won’t cause damage inside the house. On the working end is the Gardena Aquastop and the spray nozzle. This setup is also perfect for use with my pressure washer out the garden too. After use, the majority of the hose will be in the shed whilst the 3m tap section will be coiled under the sink (Hozelock Aquastop used here).
Still thinking of a Hozelock hose?
Whatever you do, do not buy a Hozelock hose. I had one and it was useless. It was thin, it was twisted/flattened and I couldn’t roll it back up without it twisting everywhere. It was a complete and utter waste of money and I left a review on Amazon for it with a picture.
So as I said, there are no issues with this hose at all. Gardena have made a superb product, with connectors that are designed to be extremely watertight, a hose that feels like quality and behaves like quality. Lthough I’ve used Gardena connectors in all the importand places, Hozelock connectors can be used on it too and it can be used with a pressure washer.
In my area we have really good pressure in our water system, so much so that in my case it has to be reduced at the isolation valve so the CH boiler can have time to heat the water correctly. I temporarily turned it on full and the Gardena connectors did not leak, even with the spray nozzle at the end of the hose closed. There was a little puddle under the Hozelock ones though, but not a lot.
All in all, a great hose, if you want a hose you won’t go wrong with a Gardena Confort Flex.
I have not bought this brand before but seems like it will last, not twist too much and is good quality
Good hose for the price, appears well made and robust and flexible
Meine Eltern haben seit den 70ern die gleiche Gardena Ausstattung mit Schluchen und Stecksystem. Diese sind zwar schon ziemlich verblichen, funktionieren aber immer noch super. Nachdem ich im eigenen Garten nach zwei Jahren Bewirtschaftung schon zwei Schluche gekillt habe (ausgerissen, Lcher, tropfende Anschlsse) habe ich mich entschieden, nun zu Qualitt zu greifen. Ich habe auer dem Flex (30m) auch noch den Classic (20m) zwischen denen ich keine direkt merklichen Unterschiede feststellen kann. Bei beiden lasse ich den Hahn offen und sie sind damit auf Dauerdruck, den sie sehr gut wegstecken. Wahrscheinlich vertrgt der Flex einfach noch mehr Druck, ich hab das aber einfach noch nie gebraucht.
Ich zerre beide Schluche durch einen verwilderten Garten entlang von Bumen und Stauden ohne Rcksicht auf Verluste und es ist noch nie etwas passiert. Ein Rezensent hat ein Foto eines Loches gepostet das — so finde ich — ziemlich nach “mit dem Rasenmher drbergefahren” aussieht.
Vom Handling und der Flexibilitt her wrde ich beide ebenfalls als hnlich einstufen. Nach dem Auspacken muss man den Schlauch allerdings einmal glatt ausrollen sonst bildet er viele Knicke. Macht man das nicht, ist Enttuschung vorprogrammiert. Da ich ihn nicht aufrolle sondern einfach liegen lasse, passierte das genau einmal.
Ich bleibe jetzt auf jeden Fall bei Gardena.
I got this because the flexi hose I had wasn’t carrying any pressure anymore. Obviously this type of hose needs a bit of looking after. No such thing as kink proof. A hint I found online is to coil it lightly with water still flowing through it. It helps to maintain its form. So far no kinks.
Definitely worth buying for general use.
My previous hose has been made up of two different brands (one very good and one appalling quality), one of which was terrible for kinking and twisting even just laying it out.
Every time I used the hose it would frustrate me having to run back along the length of it and untwist. …
So, on to the Gardena, so far this has been an excellent hose. It is fairly soft to handle compared to the previous cheap plastic job but this makes it very easy to wind up and also run out from the reel. When you lay it down it seems to naturally unwind and lay out so this is a massive improvement.
If you try to kink it there is certainly some resistance to it wanting to cut off the supply. Top marks here.
The colour looks smart but in all honesty it doesnt really matter what colour the hose is for a garden and car washing.
A slight downside is that it is a little narrow as far as its diameter. I found it impossible to connect to the inner connection on the hose reel due to access, so in the end I used the other good quality hose to connect here (since it was slightly larger in diameter) and used a hose to hose connector to double the length of the hose.
So this worked out ok in the end for me but in order to connect the Gardena to the hose reel would mean I would have to take the reel apart to have the access to force it on.
It does appear as though the diameter is just that bit small to affix to the connectors unless you have very good access.
This works out ok when you can apply some force to the connectors to get them on since it means a nice solid connection.
So over all, I am very happy with this hose and the price was priced just perfect. A lot of the reviews do state it kinks but I really do not find this happening.
For me, great hose, 5 stars!
Best hose we’ve ever bought, we have huge garden 160′ and 8 veg plots, this covers it all with ease, no tangles or kinks, so easy to use with gardena attachments. Exceptionally well made, lets hope it stands test time, but so far no issues whatsoever, would definitely recommend to the high usage gardener, allotment brigade like me.
I bought 50m high flex. I expected it to be kink free. It isn’t.
On first use it had multiple kinks all the way along its length. Maybe I didn’t unroll it properly, but having 20 odd kinks to remove is a massive pain. I’m hoping that this will resolve once I use my cart for storage.
I have multiple hoses. A yellow cheap one I bought on Amazon. That one has had no punctures, no kinks and is very solid. I’ve had it for around 5 years.
I have another cheaper one that is in between on kinks. Some kinks, but despite its cheapo cost it no where near as many as gardena.
So my most expensive hose is definitely the worst for kinks.
It has grip grooves for use with the gardena fittings. I’m using with brass. Gripping the brass wasn’t easy, but it’s held and doesn’t leak. But then again every other hose I have has been fine with brass. On balance I’m not sure this feature does anything for me.
I’m assuming that it will deliver on heavy metal free (although it’s not drinking water grade, no heavy metals is my preference for veg) and durability. It’s on this basis I’ve given it 4 stars. If it wasn’t for those, it’s be lucky to get 3*, as there are other cheaper hoses that don’t kink.
Great but why does Amazon require a signed delivery of proof for being over 18? A Garden hose is hardly a murder weapon. I suppose you could attach it to a car exhaust or hang youself with it of maybe water board someone??
I purchased the 30m version. I used the Hozelock fixtures and reel from my old hose, which fit perfectly, as was expected. Yes the hose can kink, but not nearly as much as my previous one. I don’t think you can buy a hose that doesn’t kink to some degree or other, it’s in the nature of the beast! Overall I was delighted with my purchase and it certainly fulfilled my expectations.
Once unwound properly and fed into a hose trolley, I find it resist kink very well.
As with all tubes you need there is a minimum bent diameter but as long as you are careful with it, it won’t disappoint.
Is a bit pricy though.
Most hoses are stiff and remain curled up after storage and difficult to get straight. I’ve been replacing all my hoses with these flex version as they are so much easier to handle and roll up much more easily at the end of the seaso
It is very good to handle and easy to roll up I am pleased at the length also.
I bought this hose to replace a bad cheap hose that was almost un-bendable in cooler weather, and never comfortable to use, as it was impossible to unwind straight. I was constantly getting tangled in its snake-like coils! This Gardena hose is the complete opposite, flexible, light and really well made. It unwinds straight and doesn’t seem to kink. It’s slightly more expensive, but great value considering its good quality. Recommended by me!
As other reviews have said, it does kink very easily. However it appears quite durable.
Seems great quality and doesn’t seem to stop water flow when kinks. Only used once so early dats.
This is a good quality house pipe. It comes in a reel and is a simple pipe but it is well made and feels and looks like a quality product. We have a very long garden so we are having to add several 50m length together, this makes a good start. We already have the extra fittings and these grip to the house well, and we are really happy with the hose, so far no falling off the tap, or ends dropping off.
Grea
There is a lot to like about this premium hosepipe from Gardena. It is clearly strong and well made. It still has a degree of flexibility which means you can snake it round corners. My main problem with it was related to the 50m length. My water pressure isn’t great and by the time I had fed it through the length of this hose it had reduced still further. Accordingly the oscillator sprinkler which I have from Gardena would not function properly. When I connected it to a 20m Gardena hose it worked perfectly.
The second issue was that I found getting it on to a hose reel was a challenge. It kept wanting to twist and kink and that meant that to use it I had to fully unwind it. And then try to wind it up again without kinks.
I would expect decent longevity given the build quality but if you are in the market for a hose pipe it is worth thinking about your water pressure.
I love this … A SuperFlex hose that extends to 50m hose complete with power grip profile.
It is difficult to assess whether this hose is aesthetically pleasing or not, however I can say that it not ugly and the transparent outer hose and beading effect means the hose looks better than most. Also this type of hose is very easy to keep neat and tidy as it is easy to roll up neatly due to its super flexibility.
The actual hose is made from a form PVC high quality spiral mesh which looks extremely durable and robust and should last for a good few years. The Power Grip Profile allows for a secure connection between the hose and hose connector (this hose fits with all Original Gardena fitments) and in the three weeks we have been using this hose we have had no leaks or sprays from any joins … which normally seems to happen with our previous hose and fittings.
The length of this hose is very long at 50m (164ft) and should reach all areas of a large suburban garden. This hose works incredibly well and has been used during the last few weeks for washing cars, patios, filling fish ponds and watering pots and new flower beds. I really like the fact that this hose keeps its shape and in use remains more or less tangle free.
I love gardening (our garden is about 105 feet wide by 45 feet deep) and have many, many plants in pots, new plants and shrubs in borders and on banks. With my normal hose which only reaches about 30 feet I have to water most of my plants with a watering can which is no fun when you have a tiered garden and emphysema. With this amazing hose I am able to reach all areas of my garden and no repeated steps back to the tap to refill.
Perfect.
This is a nice looking hosepipe – a strange thing to say, but it is. The fact it is also very good as a hosepipe is a positive too. It is robust, doesn’t kink and looks like it’ll last. The best feature is the ridges in the hose – so simple and yet so effective at fixing hose attachments and keeping them fixed. I don’t know if they’ve patented that, but it’s very clever and very effective.
This hose is really well constructed and at 50m should reach most parts that other hoses cannot reach. The 30 year guarantee is the same as a competitors premium hose guarantee but whether I will still have the receipt before the 30 years are up if it should it fail, I can’t really say. It may well outlast me and I can pass it on to my children. I can just imagine the conversation “this was dads favourite hose, its older than me you know”.
It appears to be free of harmful substances so it might be ok to drink from it, but that is something I wouldn’t advise especially if it’s been laying in the garden for 20 years.
In all seriousness though, the hose is well constructed and has slightly thicker walls than the competitors hose I have been using. The outside of the hose offers some grip too with its ridges but the small downside is that if it gets dirt on it, it won’t be as easy to wipe down as a smooth hose. It is also not particularly heavy either, which is a bonus, though it is not one of those lightweight hoses. Shipping weight is 6.9kg.
Another bonus is that it is compatible with other connectors too. This could save you a little money as you might not have to buy new connectors and could reuse the ones you might have.
I’d recommend getting the Gardena AquaRoll Hose Trolley too, something I have also reviewed. Yes it is a little pricey but the convenience of being able to roll the hose correctly is well worth it. Not only that but if the hose is on the trolley you can wheel it around rather than having to lug it around. It can be set up for left or right handed people
This hose costs less than a competitors 50m 30 year guaranteed hose when at full price but there are always bargains to be had. All in all, the hose is solid and robust, I don’t doubt it will last a long time ‘if’ looked after and I actually quite like the design.
This hugely robust well-made hose is ideal for the purpose we had in mind. A fresh water supply is required to fill water tanks on our boats, and so often any ordinary hose grows green slime inside in no time.
I am impressed by heavyweight strength of this hose, the reinforcement inside, and am enjoying using it without worrying about it kinking. It fitted neatly into all extant fittings from my old hose, it doesn’t come with any of its own.
Well worth the expense in my view.
This is a fantastic garden hose.
The most flexible hose of all from the extensive Gardena hose range, the 50m Premium Super Flex Hose is the best option for the devoted gardener.
As well as ultimate flexibility courtesy of the high-density spiral mesh textile, this hose also offers excellent pressure resistance and will never knot or twist.
The Power Grip Profile that can be found across the ‘Flex’ Gardena hose range provides the perfect connection between hose and connector.
Overall this is a brilliant garden hose that I am sure will last and last.
Gardena, I discovered is a German brand that was bought bun swedish Husqvarna. As I suspected all very Highly quality stuff is produced by these brands.
The hose is in the Colors of the brand, a smart shade of orange, mixed with black. Texture wise it is. It smooth so it can be handled in a good grip easily. I am using it on a Gardena hose trolley so it fits like a glove but am sure it can rolled on any other trolley too.
Overall it is a very good product but not sure it is anti kink as i’ve experienced one already but the sturdiness of the product ensured that no permanent dent is visible.
In summer we water our garden via a roll-out hose with another hose attached to make it long enough. This second hose has become damaged with general wear over the years and needed to be replaced.
This 50metre Gardena hose just fits the bill. It seems really tough and is UVA resistant. It is reasonably flexible to use, although not guaranteed to be kink-free.
This comes as just the hose and no fittings are included.
A good quality item from a respected supplier.
A bewildering range of hosepipes is available these days, and one is hard to put know which is the best choice. Offered at prices ranging from 75 to 83 for 50m, this Gardena product is at the top end of the price range, sitting alongside Hozelock’s “ultimate” hose; at the opposite end, you can pay as little as 20, and just about everything in between – and I have done so in the 30 years of gardening my current 5 acres.
The 20 hoses I’ve bought have been very soft plastic, very prone to rapid UV degeneration, kinking, pin-hole leaks and splitting, the latter especially (and rapidly) if stored with a sharp bend. And goodness knows what went into the plastic of which they were made. All my hoses are stored outside year-round, without protection, and the best “economy” value I’ve found is the yellow kind intended for the building trade. Whilst the 20 green kind disintegrated in less than five years, lengths of the former, permanently laid out through the garden, continue to give good service after 30 years; but bear in mind that they are never rolled up or subject to sharp bends, and in many places are buried so protected from UV.
The next thing to say is that no plastic hosepipe is totally kink proof, including this one, which doesn’t even claim to be. Some competitors may be labelled as kink resistant, but this is a relative term, and in the case of cheap hose, best ignored altogether. The only kink-proof hose I have found, and that very recently, is the even more eye-wateringly expensive “Garden Gear Easy Hose Stainless Steel Garden Water Hosepipe” which appears to be metal-armoured bathroom shower hose, with the same small internal diameter; fine if you have decent water pressure, not so fine in my case, but I still wouldn’t be without it for patio pot watering. Durability is yet to be proved.
Gardena, based in Germany, is a subsidiary of Husqvarna and all their claims about the quality of this hose may be accepted as gospel; why otherwise would they offer a 30-year guarantee ? (Be sure to keep your receipt !) For those who feel they don’t need this standard of quality, they offer more cheaply made, slightly less durable versions, and in fact their cheaper “Classic” 50m hose was my last purchase, 5 years ago. But if you never want to be bothered shopping for garden hose again, this is without doubt the one to choose.
The best hose on the market in my opinion, strong and very durable.
Well made works well not used much but first impressions are good, It appears a lot better than the one it is replacing, which was from a extremely well known manufacturer.
One of the best quality garden hoses around – well worth the money
does kink a little but better than cheaper versions i have had
First class product, it does resist kinking. First class service. Would recommend.
Can’t buy better I had 4 of the expandable types; all useless and blew up. This should last for years just like my first one did, Still have some of that. the connectors are still good and the length of hosepipe for connecting to the trolley is still in good nick. Must be over 35 years old now.
best garden hose i ever bought buy it you wont be diappointed
Easy to manoeuvre. Really high quality – I think it’s worth the extra money.
Very happy with this, never spent the money on a quality hose like this one and its a breath of fresh air. It doesn’t kink up easily like my old hose lock one and I doubt it will go brittle as easily either.
Had a curly coil hose before which was a pain, this is classy looking with the colours and silver accented fittings (how sad am I?)
My wife baulked at me for spending over 30 on a hose set-up with fittings but after much Googling around this is better bang for buck than the cheaper stuff and really nice to use with the smooth click actions.
Note, I had to buy the fittings separately, this is just the hose.
Great product at a very reasonable price, arguably one of the best hoses for gardens there is
I needed a short hose for the front garden and this fitted the bill – well made, a good price, and with a nice grippy outer wall too i.e. good for gripping with wet hands. No kinks so far, either.
I also bought a hose hanger and was very pleased with this product: Steel Wall Hose Hanger, 30m Hose which is far superior to any others that I’ve seen for under a tenner (and probably better than more expensive ones too)
eeded the hose to extend my two original old hoses, with a couple of new couplings, spot o
This is a good quality hose that resists kinks and twists. I use it as the “backbone” for our irrigation system and it has proven to be robust and trouble-free. It has no bleached in sunlight and not has it rotted.
Wonderful hose. Does not kink and the water flows perfectly through it. Wouk definitely recommend buying one.
