HydroTech 75 ft Expandable Garden Hose - Burst Proof & Lightweight, Flexible Water Hose with Durable Reinfordced Latex Core & Solid Brass Fittings for Lawn, Garden, Car Washing

This is the 3rd hose we have bought like this. We are hopeful that this one will last longer than the other two. We love the concept of the flex hose but so far every one we’ve bought only made it about a year before the hose under the top material burst open making the hose inoperable. If this one bursts (leaks) we are going back to the traditional hoses.

So far this hose is well made--better than other expanding hoses I have purchased in the past. The connections are solid, the outer material is resistant to snags. The hose handles the pressure without issue. So far, so good.

Inherently, these look very convenient, but there is a design flaw. The pressure used to expand the hose results in a very anemic output of water.

I have gone through many different hoses over the years and have found them to be a constant issue. The rubber ones are annoying, heavy and unmanageable in the area around plants where I use them and the flexible hoses break within a years time. I am hoping to get more time out of this one as it does seem better than the leading brands. The hardware at each end of the hose is much better metal and there is an on/off switch at the handle end that is extremely convenient. If you’re looking for an expandable and flexible hose I think this is the best one on the market. It’s funny how little it gets and once you turn on the water it expands like crazy! It’s an added bonus as you can house it in a much smaller container than usual hoses! If you’re looking for a lightweight hose this is the best one I have found out there for sure. I am taking one star away as I don’t know how long it will last but I will update in a year or so and if it’s still in decent shape I would give it 5 starts all the way!

Works great and takes very little room when not in use.

Perfect t for home gardening...esp for seniors with strength or mobility limitations

Hose is great

I already have a 25’ hose by this brand and love it. But I needed a longer one to extend my reach. The connections are very secure with no leakage.
