We frequently use it with our power pressure washer and it continues to impress us with every use!ORIGINAL REVIEW:This hose is amazing, literally love at first sight. Very impressed by the quality! First of all, this hose can expand THREE TIMES ITS LENGTH! It's a retractable hose, extremely light weight (can hold the entire hose with one hand effortlessly, it's magical 😍). We put it to the test and let our 2 year old knot it up into a pile as best he could and when we went to pick it up, it completely self de-tangled. This hose will not kink, twist or tangle, just as advertised.I LOVE that it comes with its own carrying bag and wraps up SO SMALL to fit and store anywhere! I will literally be adding all of my old hoses into the garbage can this week because I am THAT sold on this bad boy. This hose allows all of my OCD, organizational dreams to come true with it's easy and tidy storage. This would also be an exceptional hose for someone with minimal space or storage such as watering plants on an apartment deck etc.It can even withstand high and low temperatures ranging between 5°C - 98°C (41°F - 208°F if you were wondering - this is according to the HBLife website). The connectors are all a beautiful solid brass unlike the cheapo plastic connectors that break easily or leak. Oh, and did I mention that you get a FREE spray nozzle?!?! An actual quality, 8 setting, METAL (and plastic) spray nozzle. In case you were wondering the 8 adjustable patterns include: Center, Flat, Jet, Shower, Mist, Soaker, Full and Cone - see pictures. Both the hose AND the spray nozzle have all metal connectors which the listing claims to "have excellent corrosion resistance and durability" which I love.I personally purchased this hose because my 70 year old father could easily lift and maneuver it, my son and neice could use it for outside water play fun, I could use it to water plants/ grass and wash my car and although not planned, I can most definitely see my husband stealing this amazing hose for his window washing business because of how simple, lightweight, durable and easy to store it is. We purchased a 50 footer (HBLife-this one!) for our front yard and a 100 footer (Buheco-we wanted to compare the top two brands) - for our backyard.This hose would be great for any garden or watering your lawn, any cleaning project like washing cars or boats, any man's shop, or great for window washing companies too! I can't wait to use this hose more. Highly recommend!***UPDATE:I decided to put the two top rated expandable hoses on Amazon to the test: Buheco and HBLife (this one!). Again, we purchased a 50 footer for our front yard (HBLife) and a 100 footer (Buheco) for our backyard.The connectors on both hoses are all a beautiful solid brass unlike the cheapo plastic connectors that break easily or leak. The Buheco hose also comes with a free spray nozzle that has 10 spray patterns which include: Full, Flat, Shower, Soak, Jet, Cone, Angle, Mist, Center and 1/2Vert - see pictures. The spray nozzle is made out of plastic and unfortunately the quality does not compare to the metal spray nozzle that you receive with the HBLife retractable hose. (That being said you will save roughly $10 for the same length expandable hose by purchasing the Buheco over the HBLife hose).I definitely recommend both brands but again, the metal spray nozzle that you receive with the HBLife hose is far more superior than the plastic spray nozzle that you receive with the Buheco hose. Based off when I purchased both hoses however, the Buheco hoses were roughly $10 cheaper for the same size (for the 100 footer in particular) when compared to the HBLife hoses. The hoses themselves appear almost IDENTICAL and the brass fittings would have looked the exact same if not for a slightly different font used for the 3/4" marking.For the above mentioned reasons I would rate the Buheco hose a 4/5 and the HBLife hose a 5/5 because the spray nozzle and carrying bag are definitely a higher quality, but again, you do pay slightly more for this. Both hoses are exceptional though and I would definitely recommend them both! :)

This water hose is very nice. I ordered a 25 foot just to see if I would like it. We've had it all summer and so far so good. I do protect it a little bit so that it doesn't get hung on anything. It is made out of a fibrous material on the outside and I think it could snag. I haven't had a snag. But I'm pretty careful with it. The water pressure is not as high as my normal water hose. But it's high enough for what I need which is watering plants and small places of grass. I did have some mud on my sidewalk from repotting some plants. I tried to wash it off with the water hose and the pressure was a little bit lite on power for that type of job. I love the ease of the water hose to wind back up and hang on my hanger. It would be a perfect five stars if it had a little bit more pressure. Also, it was VERY entertaining to see my puppy's reaction the first time she saw it. Wish I had been recording it!!! LOL

The media could not be loaded.  So it took me years to pull the trigger and break from my old ways of buying traditional vinyl and rubber garden hoses and switching to one of those as seen on TV new found contraptions. I am very cynical about the enticing TV commercials that lure hundreds of thousands into whipping out their plastic after the smoke and mirrors clear. I have a large wrap around porch that spans 75' at the farthest end where the last hydrangea and hanging basket flowers rest. In the past, I have dragged the vinyl or rubber hoses across the concrete onto the wood porch deck wrestling the hose like the Lockness Monster through patio furniture and other obstacles constantly backtracking to twist out kinks in the line. Coiling it back up was a nightmare! One year I purchased a $50 hose reel which broke because it couldn't take the weight of the hose. It wasn't a fun workout. I decided I wanted a better hose life this summer and tossed my last 75' rubber demon into the trash and go for the new age technology. I read the Amazon reviews on all of the products (I always start with the 1 stars) and after weighing the criticisms, went for the 75' HBlife. This puppy arrived in a compact tote bag within a box and when I unpackaged it, I thought they mistakenly shipped the 25 footer. I hooked this thing up to the hose bib, turned on the water and the magic began. It expanded to a full 75 feet (despite a few 1 star reviews) and the hose was so light and agile that it effortlessly glided across the concrete onto the first leg of my porch then make the 90 degree turn onto the larger part of the "L" shaped wood porch. TRULY AMAZING! I watched for kinks in the line and the few that developed immediately self straightened. I floated all 75' back with again zero effort back to the hose bib, cut off the water and watched in sheer astonishment as it shrank to 1/3 of its size which is where the magic began. I felt like I was watching another TV pitch, this time without smoke and mirrors because I witnessed it first hand. I was so impressed that I geeked out and shot the video that I posted with this review. As far as the nozzle, although some 1 stars complained about the quality- yes its plastic but it works great after 2 weeks and even if it breaks within the next 2 weeks, it came FREE with the hose. Did I mention FREE? Shame on you 1 starers! You bought the hose and bitched about the FREE nozzle?! The quality of the hose is excellent. The price is actually about the same of a better quality 75' rubber old school type hose. One of the reasons for selecting this company is that the manifold where it connects to the hose bib is brass v. plastic that some of competition uses. Small detail- I really like the black and neon green striped fun color which happens to match the FREE nozzle which may be the reason for the 1 starers because they couldn't find a color matched replacement nozzle. My lower lumbar is happy, my biceps are happy, my hydrangea and hanging baskets are happy and my wife and adult children are searching for a bed for me in an inpatient institution. But my life was changed for the better by this incredible product. CUDDOS TO HBlife! Well done guys! You should know- no one paid me to shoot the video or write this review. In fact, I am not much of a review writer, unless of course I come across another life changing product.
