Spring Fantasy Garden Hose 25ft x 5/8", Water Hose Heavy Duty, Flexible Garden Hose Lightweight Hybrid Hose with Holder and Spray Nozzle, Rubber Hose with Swivel Grip Handle for Outdoor

Great hose. I have had the 100’ one for a couple years now with no problems at all. Connections still tight and not leaking one bit. Added the 50’ to be able to reach the whole yard without using my other heavy, clunky hose. This one is super light and easy to move around the whole yard.

This hose is only a couple of weeks old, so things may change over time, as it wears in and recovers from the tight 12 inch coil that it shipped as. . This arrived quickly, and well packed - useful since our nearest big box BORG is an hour+ away round trip The hose is very supple, especially as the black coating absorbs sunlight heat quickly. However. I’ve found despite leaving the hose stretched out on the lawn for a week, it still easily loops and kinks when either retracting it or uncoiling. The kinks are not just inconvenient, they bend the hose enough to prevent water flow. It’s almost as if the hose is missing the internal mesh layer that give most hoses a level of internal structure.On the plus side the connectors on the end of the hose are great: drip free, and connect easily due to a spinning coupling to the wall faucet. The included sprayer is fine: nothing fancy, no sprayadjustments beyond how much you squeeze trigger/handle. Found the plastic wrap handle more of a PiTA than anything given how hard the plastic - prevents easy closure and locking. A web and Velcro strap would be a lot more functional. Fortunately wasn’t something I was counting on.

This hose is fantastic! It is well made and does everything the manufacture says it does. It is light weight and once it is straighten it works kink free. I recommend it.

After my fiasco last summer with the expandable hoses that showed signs of leaking after only a couple weeks. By the end of the summer I had duck taped several areas. And when I pulled them out this year they were just leaking everywhere. So I had to find another hose. Well so far this hose is doing pretty good. I did take me a minute when I first had the product arrive that I was a little worried because it was car to untangle it. But after the use and it’s out in the sun for a little bit it works really well. So far it has not really kinked. So all in all at the moment I am happy I only gave it three stars because I don’t wanna jump the gun and say that this is the greatest holes ever. I can see how they can make it different attachments on each end so that they can close off the water supply that would make it even better but it’s just like your basic run-of-the-mill holes but it’s good. I would suggest it.

Over the years I have purchased every hose known to man - from spiral collapsing ones, fabric ones, rubber industrial hoses, the "NeverKink" ones sold a big box stores, and many, many from Amazon.All hoses direct water. What separates good hoses is for them to be compliant and store on a hose hanger easily without you having to wrestle with it. Unfortunately most other hoses have a mind of their own and you have to loop the coils at the size the the hose wants. Inevitably some of the coils stick out and don't align with the rest, or get crossed. This hose coils the way YOU want, even different size loops each time. You simply lay the hose in place and it stays, kind of like a heavy rope.In addition, it stays supple in winter! It is very light weight which is also a plus. It will not kink. (unlike the "Neverkink" brand which should be called the "AlwaysKink".The quality of the ends is the best I've seen in a hose - a 6 inch long orange grip that allows you to turn it with the full force of your hand instead if fingers. Also acts as a strain relief which should extend the lifetime.This is a hose to get excited about.

Spigot end of hose is hard to connect to faucet, as sleeve on connection is permanent. You must twist entire hose to make the connection. The hose is playable and does allow for more water.

The hose seems very sturdy, however there are two downfalls: the hose does not want to wrap around my outside hook without constantly turning the hose causing the hose to tangle up tightly in the unhung part. Also, the hose does kink . I believe this is due to the hose resisting it’s original condition before unpackaging

This product is everything it advertises to be, but I can't give it a 5 star rating for durability at this time since I have not had it long enough to make that call. So far so good, but we will see how it holds up during the hot summer months. I suspect that it will perform as advertised.
