TheFitLife Flexible and Expandable Garden Hose - Triple Latex Core with 3/4 Inch Solid Brass Fittings and 8 Function Spray Nozzle, Portable and Kink Free Water Hose (25 FT)

This is at least the 3rd one I've bought: 1 for the front & 1 for the back. Had to replace the one in the back (I use it at least once daily); no problem with that. Texas has had some extreme temps - I now cover the hose with a sun resistant sheet; should last longer. But I have to say the included nozzle (TheFitLife) is not sturdy at all - it actually cracked on the side & the water just shot out. Thankfully, I kept the old nozzle (a year and a half and still going strong!) and put that on to continue with the task. It seems to be a cheap plastic nozzle - not fond of it at all. And it's kind of a shame, decent price on the hose & then a cheap nozzle that cracked in colder (TEXAS) weather; not like it's truly cold. Or maybe it was a defect, not sure; and it doesn't matter. The hose is GREAT - the plastic nozzle sucks.

First one for the backyard lasted 2.5 years. Granted, that is not as long as the old rubber hoses last. This is so much easier to maneuver and put away. it does not "pull back" at you like some other models. Also, all copper. I had another brand out front that used some other metal than copper and it fused itself to the copper trigger connection. It was impossible to get it to release. copper to copper for connections is important! I tried replacing the front hose with something from the big-box stores. Three different hoses and none were as pleasant as this one. I took the third try back and bought another one of these for the front too. These are the best I have found and I tried a LOT of them. I'd like to get 4 years out of it over the 2.5... but hey - a boy can have dreams.

I bought this specifically for occasionally washing off my mountain bike. We have long garden hoses that my wife (a landscaper) doesn't like to leave connected to our outdoor faucet all the time. Uncoiling and recoiling the regular garden hoses before and after every use is a major pain in the butt.This is so light and compact; I hang it with my bikes and easily connect it only when needed. I'm wondering if it will hold up over time, but so far it seems OK. I'll update this review if I find out any different.

In a small home storage space is minimal. This small hose expands to the size of a long hose which makes the job of using this hose easier. The benefits of this hose become noticeable upon completion of the project. The hose neatly packs itself away into a compact hose. This alone makes the joy of using this hose noteworthy to seniors, middle aged plus school children

Loved this flexible hose, which I purchased in Aug 2022; the spray nozzle, however, was defective after a couple of months. TheFitLive customer service was very responsive; after verifying my purchase, another nozzle was immediately sent, which I am most appreciative of!!

I had a similar hose and it expanded in length much faster. This hose doesn’t get long until it gets real wet inside and you have pull on it to get it to stretch out. This hose is actually thinner diameter than my other one, so it’s more restrictive. The only good things are this hose has all brass fittings, which should outlast my other hose with the plastic and brass fittings. The nozzle that came with it is complete junk. Just use a regular brass twist nozzle, for the best results. The supplies nozzle broke on the first use. I only use the hose to wash my car, and I don’t use real high pressure.

We have a few of these and this is a great hose that's easy to use. We have several traditional hoses, including ones that state: "never kink", yet they do. They are hard to coil up and maneuver around the yard so we picked up a 100ft TheFitLife hose. It's so easy to move around and use.Our biggest likes:- Easy to use and coil up - it shrinks down when not in use to make it easier to collect and store- The valve on the sprayer end is the best part - you can easily turn it off at the end if you need to switch ends or connect another hose to it- We leverage these with a set of quick-connects which makes adding hoses or switching ends a snapDislikes:- All of these kinds of hoses change length under pressure. The full 50ft or 100ft is based on it being under pressure with the sprayer end not in use - as soon as you start using it, it will start to contract, so you may need to get a slightly larger size than you think you need so you don't fight with it- Because of the nature of these, the inner diameter is smaller than a typically hose, so using sprinklers heads at a distance may not work since there's less water throughputEven with the dislikes, we won't go back to traditional hoses for daily use.A note on TheFitLife: We purchased the 100ft version of this just under a year ago and it ruptured. We reached out to TheFitLife to inquire about a replacement, and they were extremely responsive and sent another one the next day. We were so satisfied that we ordered a 50ft version also.

I’m revising my original review. After posting my frustration, the company reached out to me and sent a replacement hose very quickly! I know that at times things fail for many reasons, and to have a completely new replacement is honestly more than I expected. A+ for this! The season is over, but I look forward to using my replacement hose next spring.*I purchased this hose 18 months ago for $54, all in. I even bring it into the garage over the winter. It has split apart where it connects to the spigot. I thought I ways buying quality to make watering my garden easy and now need to buy another hose. There is no way to repair it. Big waist of money.

I had to replace a friend’s (Xhose) garden hose, which exploded. Most reviews reported similar problems with Xhose. A weblink led to an Epic Gardener article, 14/05/21 on10 best expandable hoses. Most were described as expanding to x3 original length when in use, ie for 75 feet expanded (length I wanted) you need 25 feet contracted. All recommendations had Amazon links for fuller details.The overall best, Aterod 75 feet expandable, is described as 25’ contracted. The Amazon description is32 x 18.59 x11.61 cm. Clearly 32 cm is NOT 25 feet so that product description is unreliable.Also recommended as best qualitybuild was The Fitlife Expandable, in 25,50,75 and 100’The item description for the 7metre is 7.62 x.03x.03 m. Since 7.62m = 25feet I ordered this but it seems Fitlife misleadingly quote the expanded, NOT the contracted length so it is far far too shortI can't comment on the product quality

Works well. No more kinks either. It will knot up a little if its just piled up on the floors made a rack to wrap it up on the wall. Great attachment which doesn't leak and has an on off valve for convenience at the attachment end.Can catch a little if you are dragging it round the garden e.g on corners or fence edges as it is fabric on the outside.But it is good, i like this product.

This was (almost) everything I was hoping for - excellent quality, screwed straight onto my standard brass tap, adding a medium extra washer from the generous pack of adapters provided. It worked first time, carefully following the instructions. It looks so neat and pleasing in my tiny garden space too, where a standard- type hose would have been ugly and cumbersome. Just one point - also made by other reviewers - it does not extend to 7 metres, even though I have very good water pressure. Comes out at a good bit less than 6m. However, I love this little hose and it will do for now.

Very pleased with this product, it seems to be well made durable and sturdy. I have had several different hoses in the past,not this manufacturer though, only lasted an hour so I am hoping at last to find a hose to do the job. So far it as and very pleased with my purchase. It expands to reach all parts of my garden needed and stretches to be able to clean my car. So in all a pretty good buy. I am therefore giving the product a 5 star for overall performance.

We have had several expanding garden hoses, most have developed problems after a short amount of time. So far this one is superior in every way.Not too heavy and very easy to use.One excellent feature is the ability to turn off water at the outlet end !!No more getting soaked when changing spray heads.Highly recommend.
