Andrews 100-Foot 2 Tube Sprinkler Hose 10-12349

I have a garden that measures 78ft long by 8 feet wide. I had no idea how I was going to water this without wasting a ton of water. I found this hose online and almost didn't order it because some of the reviews were not that great but I am so thankful I did!! It is working amazingly!!! The width of the spray is just over 8 feet maybe around 9 feet. It contours perfectly around my planters, I staked it down to help it hold the curves. I am watering everything from garlic, onions, tomatoes, melons, and berry bushes with this!! I basically ran the hose down the middle of the garden with the spray pointed up, under my berry bushes I flipped it over at the base of the bushes and covered it with mulch to basically make it a drip line, then where it comes out of the bushes on the other side I just flipped it back over so the spray would be pointing up again. This hose it amazing. For people who complained that they couldn't tell which side was up- they need to get glasses. If you look closely you can see the pin holes plain as day. For people who complained that the material felt cheap- I tend to agree. BUT I think it adds to the flexibility of the hose- which may be the intention of the manufacturer. If the material was heavier I don't know how well it would bend and flip, etc. Will it last for more than one season? We will see- but at this point- even if it doesn't- I would buy it again.

Don't buy this hose. When I received this hose I looked into the brass colored metal hose fitting and it didn't look right. You could only see fown into one "tube" (the hose has two separate tubes running along its entire length). The other tube appeared to be blocked. That end looked delicate, so I was extra careful when I screwed my hose into the fitting. I turned the water on low and nothing happened, so I turned the pressure up gradually. Then water began spraying out one side of the fitting where the hose attaches to it, NOT at the hose connection. One half of the hose had come loose from where it was attached (with glue?) to the inside of the fitting so that one tube got no water at all. The other tube filled and was sprinking, although not particularly well. The design of the hose is very poor where the hose is supposed to attach to the inside of the fitting. Plus, the hose material is very thin. It should be thicker material if it's going to last any time at all. The hose is thus very light in weight but could weigh two to three times as much and not be considered heavy.

The hose is very efficiently packaged and very light--you can hold a 100-foot hose in one hand! Its plastic is thin and probably not super-durable, so I wouldn't recommend this thing living outdoors for long periods, getting baked in the sun, etc. That said, I have seen no damage to mine nor does it seem overly fragile. I have been gentle, being careful not to step on it or pull it against trees or bricks. My outside hose bibs are not particularly high-pressure (I would say they are average), and I have no problem getting pressure all the way to the end of the hose with good consistent output throughout the line. I am using all 100 feet and left the clip on at the end. All the holes are on one side of the tubing so you can choose to mist your plants/trees or soak the ground depending on which way you lay the hose. I have had no issues with kinking or difficulty routing it.My only quibble is, given that this is a 100-foot hose and unlikely to have another hose attached to it, it would be nice if the first 6-8 feet of the hose were actually NOT perforated to be a soaker section. After all, what are the chances most users are going to want to water what is immediately below their faucets? I end up watering my patio stringing this thing across the patio to the backyard. I think it is likely that adding another short conventional hose to extend across the patio and eliminate the problem would diminish pressure in the line and create more leak points, so to date, the patio gets watered along with the trees. Despite this quibble, I am really pleased with this product.

I like Andrews hoses, this is my fourth since the 1980's. The vinyl is thick enough for moderate use, but can't take rough use. I use it along sidewalks at dusk to get dry soil spots, to not overwater. I found the two tubes at the faucet connector need to be slightly adjusted, away, to not block the water. Just pull it out a bit, you don't want a flap of vinyl in the way. I probably could have bought a 75 ft. one but the little bar at the end of the tubes can be slid apart and shortened to the end point desired by folding it in there.It waters well. There's a little patch in the package to repair holes.The vinyl is a Type B; you can find an internet kit for repairs, still. It works well.

Pretty good hose. It did the job until a deer came tromping through my yard and destroyed it. Which brings me to my main point. This hose is extremely delicate! It’s so thin that it doesn’t take much to puncture a hole in it, and then it’s pretty much useless. The end of the hose was kinda leaky, which caused the pressure to be a little low toward the front of the hose, but I put a paper clip on it and that helped. I’m going to buy another one and just pray that the deer doesn’t come back. Wish me luck!
