Expandable Garden Hose 100ft, Kink Free Water Hose with 10 Functions Nozzle, Flexible Hose Outdoor Yard Hose Lightweight Expanding Garden Hose Black, Freshwater Hoses

I tried a different brand of this type hose, the one that is advertised on TV, as they say. It leaked in three places the first time I tried to use it. Plus, it was supposed to be a 100' hose and fully extended, fell at least 25 feet shy of that claim. It went back to Home Depot the next day. I came across this hose on Amazon, saw the reviews, and ordered it. Mind you, this was after I also returned a supposedly kink free hose from another place, also without success. So I use this new hose and it was really outstanding to use! No leaks, plenty of length to spare, solid fittings, plus a multi-use sprayer included. Add to this a carry bag and roll up carrier (hand) and you have a winner. Personally, I will not be using the bag or nozzle OR holder. I just store it in the garage on a shelf after use. It drains well, and the nozzle does work, it's just not the perfect settings for me, that's all. Anyway, I will try to come back after a few more uses and report on the longevity of the product when I can. If it keeps holding up, I'll be happy to get just two years use out of it. It is that good! The light weight and ease of handling makes me want to water everything again. No more hose dread to face and I also got to return the hose reel because it's not necessary at all with this new hose.

I hate the regular hoses because they get so heavy and are too bulky to move. I love this style of hose. its lightweight and easy to maneuver. especially for someone as clumsy as me. the only bad thing is if you use a sprinkler and turn the water off it will pull the hose from where you left it so account for it to "shrink" so do yourself a favor and get a longer hose. you won't regret it. this 100 ft is perfect and I might buy a second 150 ft so I can do my front and back yard without having to move my sprinkler around to water the full yard

I have two of these hoses. One 30' and one 100'. Bought them at different times from different companies. This type of hose does require some getting used to. They seem to work best when totally extended before turning them on and leaving them totally extended when turning them off. Also, really helps if the sprayer end is slightly open when turning the hose on AND off. Doing this will make it easier for the hose to expand and retract quickly. Not absolutely necessary to do these things in this manner, especially fully extending a 100' hose each time.What IS absolutely necessary is draining the hose each time you've finished with it. I've noticed several bad reviews re: the hose spouting small leaks along the entire length. This is caused by leaving the hose under pressure and out in the hot sunshine. Doing this WILL ruin the hose. Leaving any garden hose under pressure while in the sun, will ruin the hose over time. Just turn the hose off at the building and be sure that the sprayer is open just slightly. Don't have to roll it up and put it away each time, just relieve the pressure.Nice that the company includes several extra rubber washers. The sprayer itself is junk. Throw it away and get another.

Very light, it does get to the full length once you have water pressure in the line. Storing it for the winter (cold months) has never been easier. works great with multiple heads, or water sprinklers.When I was purchasing this product I read few reviews to understand this product better. I read that many had issues with the line developing a pinhole in the first year. So I am here to tell you after over a year of using this product I have had no issues (and I use this every day). So here is the deal, if you are good with using your common sense then this is great. If you need to read directions to do the right thing it might not last you a long time. When I used mine I always allowed for a small amount of water to scape the head so that the extra water pressure doesn't hurt the line. I always empty the line all the way and store it away from garden tools/mowers. For winter or cold months, I store it empty it all the way, and bring it inside.

So I bought this hose in October and yesterday (5/19) while watering my bushes the hose separated at the end. So it lasted 7 months. I really liked the hose but I’m not sure I want to pay this price if it doesn’t last.Also, I kept this on a hose reel. It does work as long as you pull out the whole hose and then turn it on. If you turn the hose on while rolled up it expands and gets tangled.

I liked the idea of the hose. For a couple of weeks, it worked fine. I drained it of water after each use, and shut off the pressure to the hose. I live in a rural area, so the water pressure at no time was too high. After a few weeks usage, watering plants, etc., certainly nothing heavy duty, the hose began to leak at about the center. Light leakage at first, not really bothersome, but as time wore on, the leak became significant. These hoses are not patcheable. It was nice while it lasted. I was warned of this problem, but bought it anyway. In future, I'll chose a more robust hose for light duty watering.

Like the length and feels quite heavy duty if weight is an indicator. Does seem to snag on our pavement more than other expandable hoses we have owned in the past due to the expanding ridges going around the hose the way they do. This does make pulling the hose more difficult. However, if the design makes it last longer, I can work around that. That’s the reason for only 4 stars.

Perfect for my front yard to water my 50 foot zinnia garden.
