Excellent produc
So much better than our last expandable hose, this folds away so easily and I really like how it lets you control the water pressure from the handle rather than having to set it at the tap.
Would highly recommend this product.
Would recommend
My son knew I wanted this so he bought me one, now I have 2 but I am returning mine as I have more time than my son, very easy process take to nearest outlet ( my local post office) they scan bar code on my phone done no wrapping just hand over I did this previously and received my refund to my balance within 4 days
Good hose.
So after getting my sister-in-law to order this after my order didn’t arrive I finally managed to use this hose over the summer. It’s got a good length. I like the turn-0ff feature on the sprinkler. By uses this you can make sure the hose is nearly fully extended. You just have to be careful with pulling it as its so long. Lots of sprinkler settings – although i only ever use 3 of them. Good fittings as I get zero leakage from the tap or sprinkler.
spray gun much improved
These expanding hoses are so easy to use and pack away. The spray gun control is much better so can vary intensity of water easily. It even came with a small reel of plumbers tape which enabled me to repair my weedkiller lance!
Best Ye
This is the best Hose and Nozzle we have had. The Nozzle is extremely easy to use and allows varying water flow. Ideal for whole garden: Pots; Boreders etc. It extends well and does not knot.
Looks good.
Good but didn’t fit outside tap. Royal mail return pick up atrocious. In house waiting for three days. They said nobody was in on first attempt. I was no more than a few metres from front door. No knocks, no bell rings. No updates on rescheduled collection which doesn’t seem to be happening either.
Brilliant idea
These hoses are such a good idea, they expand to the lengths advertised but once the water is gone they reduce to a much smaller, lighter and more practical size. The pressure is slightly less than a conventional hose but the convenience out weighs that. I have two working on a yard, they have with- stood dragging across concrete, they don’t kink or twist, one did split when a 780kg shire horse stood on it with metal shoes but that was the staffs fault for letting his big feet stomp on it. I went for this particular hose in three different lengths as they offered the best reviews to cost and so far I’m happy. The real test will be winter when water starts freezing.
I’m impressed. The connections are metal and have no leakage. The hose shrinks back after use so is much tidier to drop in a basket / box bad loads less hassle than rewinding / kinks etc
The spray nozzle is quality too with different spray and off/on
One thing after use if you pull the tap end off whilst hose is full of water ( even with you tap off) expect a surprise!!! My wife laughed at lot!!! She would buy again just for the laugh
we like the fact that the hose is light and flexible, and dioesn’t kink. The spray gun is a tad average but it does the job of watering the garden and post ok – and that was what we wanted.
Nice firm spray head and hose itself seems strong. The different spray settings are particularly good. Time will tell how well it lasts. Instructions are hopeles s but found some YouTube stuff for a similar product which helped although I still managed to end up with an extra brass ring. I do like the brass fittings but it did leak slightly at the tap. Didn’t affect the spray though. Hard to beat at this orice. I would get as long as you can manage. It didn’t stretch 3x as claimed. My 75ft managed a 50 ft ish border.. I wouldn’t call it tangle free either. It actually arrived with knots but fairly easy to untangle. With any of the expandable ones snagging or not storing them correctly will damage them but this one is more robust than many so fingers crossed.
Excellent.
Not to be confused with the cheaper expandable hoses, this one comes with brass fittings, sensible connectors, a decent outer covering and a good spray unit. Still vulnerable to thorns, but after a year’s use, I’m still pleased with it. A good purchase.
best hose i ever bough
I’ve gone through a few hoses in my time but this one is the best. Nozzle easy to use, sits nicely on its holder and quick to adjust. Single jet useful when the local pigeon flies in!!
Excellent product!😊
Excellent product and service delivered on time.This hose is by far worth the money you can feel the quality as you use it also i think the colour scheme is very cool!Thank-you from a satisfied customer!
Light and flexible
Basically a good hose so far. There are no instructions in the box although you might say that you don’t need them as it should be common sense . That being said there are various fittings that you can use (you have to have a tap hose connector of your own)it is good and sturdy and the hose gun performs well. To date all is ok
Just about 5 stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a durable expandable hose
We have bought a half a dozen expandable hoses – all of which fall apart within a few months. They start leaking, split, or the nozzle cannot stay fixed due to pressure. This hose is fantastic and highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars Working good so fa
I have had another similar to this that didn’t last more than three months before both end connections became loose. I’m hoping this one will last.
The bracket provided is cheap plastic so not that great. I purchased two metal brackets and wind around both so it looks neater.
Great Hose But no Written instructions
This is a sturdy hose but it didn’t fit my existing hose fitting and there’s only a diagram on box but no instructions. I think it needs an additional fitting
4.0 out of 5 stars Good but lacking powe
I’ve wanted one of these types of hoses for a long time. I spent ages researching and comparing and finally landed on this one. The hose itself is great, smart, doesn’t knot, and extends well. The hose gun has lots of features and works nicely. Waters the garden well etc etc. but for my husband it isn’t good. He wanted a hose to also be able to clean his bikes, and we both needed it to wash the dogs down. But the pressure is pretty poor. There just seems to be no power behind it. And we had a regular hose before, so we know it’s not our water pressure. A bit disappointing- so we will be looking to purchase the old style hose for these needs.
5.0 out of 5 stars A decent hose
So far, so good. Does what it says. Feels sturdier than my last hose of this type which popped after a year (to be fair I didn’t look after it). It hangs up easily.
Ok so far!
I had a cheaper version that lasted no time. I am so far happy with this one but am being careful not to drag across rough patio stones! So far so good. Not sure it’s really as long as it says.
Very light but long
I’m amazed at how little room this takes up. It looks like it’s less than 20 feet long but it’s really 50 feet when fully extended. It’s very flexible and easy to loop it up and place it over the bracket supplied. The brass fittings are totally watertight so this hose is a perfect replacement for my plastic one which has always leaked at the 3 connectors. Tap to reel, reel to hose, hose to gun. I’m really glad to see all of this go in the bin!!
5.0 out of 5 stars A great hose that cuts down watering tim time.
So pleased to find this hose is definitely ‘light weight’. I got soaked in the 1st. use, as didn’t screw it to the tap firmly enough. So easy to control (75′) hose.
I looped it up to lay where needed rather than pull it too hard . You need just enough water pressure to extend this long enough. I don’t know how water pressure can be gauged. I do not open the tap fully to get the stretch.1 1/2 turns at the tap is enough for 75′.
When emptying the hose, the 1st. time, I didn’t leave it long enough to empty water out & got soaked!
I left it till the hose shrank a bit & held up the tap end till it emptied out the other end. The spray end I left open on the earth & it didn’t take long to empty.
It halved the watering time for 2 medium flower beds,& several varied sized pots. GREAT!
Highly recommended.
It does what it’s supposed to but no way is it 100ft when fully extended…
The connections are good quality and sturdy and it’s easy to use, just wish it was longer as advertised.
We live in the flight path of birds, who poo on my car during the nesting and hatching season, for 4 to 6 weeks every May and June. I therefore have to hose the offending poo off every day during this period ( and last year I did it 3 times in one day !) Pulling the old conventional roll of hose out, and then rewinding it back in was a pain.
This expandable hose has made a real difference. Just connect up, and watch the “snake” expand. Hose down the car, turn water off and watch the “snake” contract.Then simply wind it up over my arm, and dump it in a bucket. So much quicker and easier. My only concern is that threads are pulled from the fabric sleeve, when it snags against brickwork – but I have largely got around that by having 8ft of conventional hose from tap, and using a connector to connect to the expandable hose. Time will tell if the magic hose will last a good few years, but so far, so good.
I have just received this hose and tried it once the quality is good and the price was fine. I think it will be great judging by first use of it. Was a little surprised to see it had been stretched already tho.
Having used this for several weeks, I can say I am really pleased with it.
My pet hate with hosepipes in having to reel them in. Not so with this.
When finished using, I turn tap off, open the hose to let the water run out. I love how the hose starts to shrink in length whilst emptying. It then bundles up nicely to fit into the little bag. I do tend to hang it over the wash-line for a couple of hours to let it dry out.
Plenty long enough for my large back garden. Brass fittings are strong, as is the spray head, unlike many I’ve seen advertised. Should this falter in any way, I would be more than happy to purchase the same item again. Full marks from a satisfied customer!
Good hose
The spray bit is leaking so not the best quality but luckily we had the one from old hose so was not bothered to return it. The hose itself is good. Very long and streaches even longer.
Much sturdier than previous hoses I have purchased, no kinks so far which is the main reason for my purchase, I have bought several expandable hoses only to find they kink and eventually spli
Use this to reach flower beds at front and side of house which usually entails dragging a heavy hose round everywhere. This does as it advertises – it’s light very malleable and stretches when tap turned on. Our previous stretch hose was like cloth material and burst when dragged over concrete but this has a plastic type covering which seems much more substantial
Good Quality - Get a longer hose than you think you might need ….
Pleased with the overall quality especially the brass connectors.
I am using the hose to connect to a submersible pump in a water butt. Because the pump doesn’t generate as much pressure as a mains tap I found the hose didn’t extend to the length quoted. I returned the first hose with no issue and bought a longer hose to compensate for the lack of pressure.
Quality seems much better than others I’ve bought which tended to spring a leak after a few months. Seems more durable. Time will tell. The tap connection is too small for my fitting, luckily I have another, albeit plastic. I have no idea why 3 additional rubber washers have been supplied, they do not fit the brass connectors. The spray gun seems good quality, not your usual lightweight cheap plastic. If it lasts beyond the summer I’ll be happy, my other versions of expandable hoses haven’t.
bought for a replacement as my old one (over 5 years old) exploded quite spectacularly firing water everywhere when I was power washing, the replacement seems better quality and fitted to the washer no probs but would not connect to my my old brass connector just kept flying off when put under pressure but as I have various fittings I managed to make an adaptor which goes between my brass tap and the hose connector, if you have a normal threaded tap this won’t be a problem as a threaded tap connector is provided.
We have a traditional 1/2″ hose on a reel, about 180’long. This is heavy to move around, and a pain in the neck to unwind and heavy going to fully rewind, especially in colder weather. When first unwound the coils are difficult to straighten, and it’s easily kinked; by comparison the expanding hose types, like the one being reviewed, are much easier to handle. The traditional hose reel is about 25 years old or more, and has been little trouble, staying out in all weathers, though the reel is a bit leaky now; but of course it is readily repairable – one short section near the end developed a leak after frost about 15 years ago, but was simply cut off, and a couple of the plastic Hozelock-style connectors have failed, but were easily replaced.Good value, but a pain to use.
Because the traditional hose is so heavy and awkward to handle, we have also had the expanding hose type for about 8 years, all of the original Xhose type, with a somewhat lighter outer cover than the type being reviewed. We have a100′ plus a 75′, to reach the top of the garden, these are connected with a plastic connector section, available fairly cheaply. Over those 8 years we have bought the original 2 (which were branded Xhose) and 5 replacements. A couple of early replacements were branded, others came from Amazon, or other sources. The more recent versions have had a smaller outside diameter than the Xhose originals, never clear whether this was due to the inner bore of the latex hose, the thickness of the latex hose, or the style of the outer covering, but it didn’t seem to have any effect on longevity anyway. Two leaked as soon as delivered but were readily replaced. Overall, excluding those that leaked on arrival, this gives them a life of about 2 years each. In all cases it is the the inner flexible part that has leaked – the outer cloth sheathe has never gone, and the connectors have been OK. Given the failure rate, we treat them very gently when in use, but this hasn’t helped. The hoses are stored over winter to prevent frost damage, but nevertheless most of the failures have appeared the following Spring on first use (though not always, sometimes they have failed mid-Summer). And of course this type of hose is not repairable, once it leaks, it’s off to the tip.
Obviously we have got fed up with this rate of failure, not to say that it’s expensive, though the price of the original lighter versions has dropped a lot over the years – tempting to say the failure rate is related to the price, but in fact the original expensive branded versions didn’t last any longer. This year both hoses failed independently upon first use in the Spring, one was 3 seasons old, one 2 seasons old.
The newer heavier weight versions (like this type, being reviewed) have been available for a few years, but this is the first of this type we have bought. The differences to the older type are: the ‘upgraded 3 layer latex hose pipe’, the stronger woven outer cover and the brass fittings – and of course they cost more. Again we got a 100′ and a 75′. I was concerned that being heavier they would lose the lightweight convenience of these expanding hoses, but in practice they are still light enough to be considered very light when carrying. They also take up a little more space than the older lightweight version when empty, but not enough to worry about.
The outer fabric is clearly more robust than on the old-style lighter weight versions, but I never found that the durability of the outer cover of those older versions was a problem. The brass connectors may be more robust than the plastic type on the older lightweight versions, but the plastic connectors on those were never a problem – though of course if a connector does fail, it is not really possible to fit a new one, there are some solutions on offer on the internet but they are a bit Heath Robinson and trying to fix a connector to the inner hose is tricky and apparently a bit hit or miss.
Some reviews mention a problem with the hose contracting as soon as it is turned on. Having had the hoses for a few weeks, our experience is that this does happen a bit, but not enough to cause a major problem. We have reasonable mains water pressure. The characteristic only shows when using both hoses coupled to the full 175′ length, it doesn’t show when they are used independently. Certainly at 175′ long the few feet of the hose closest to the nozzle does contract when the nozzle is first turned on, but only by 3′ or so, and it stabilises and seems to stay the same after a couple of minutes. If anything the expanded length of the hose is a little longer than advertised, and the couple of feet contraction makes no material difference. We haven’t used it with a sprinkler yet, I anticipate that at first it will drag the sprinkler a few feet, then settle down. I doubt if this hose would be much good if fed from a water tank rather than mains pressure, but that’s just a guess. This type of hose seems to me to be stronger when expanded and under pressure, the inner latex apparently being innately fragile – possibly the end nearest the nozzle, being un-expanded, will be prone to failure of the latex inner hose as a result, but it hasn’t happened yet. On balance I am if anything encouraged by this characteristic – clearly the inner hose is stronger than on the lightweight type, and therefore requires more water pressure to fully expand (and the longer the hose, the more this shows), but I hope this means it will last longer.
The nozzle is pretty much typical for the type, it works fine.
The hope is that the ‘triple layer’ internal expanding hose is more robust and longer lasting. Only time will tell – I will update this review when or if either hose fails. Early indications are fine – they didn’t leak on first delivery. The older style lightweight versions are still readily available, currently half price or less compared to this reviewed version, so these need to last about 4 years each to offer comparable value to the cheaper older lightweight style – we will see. 4 years still not good enough really, but we live in a disposable world now, apparenly. Honestly, I don’t think there is any hose technology that really works – if it is long lasting it is hard to use, if it is easy to use it is fragile, maybe this type will be a bit less fragile.
