This product works for me.
I was in the market for a garden hose. I buy one roughly every year to a year and a half. I usually buy from a big box store or a nursery. I've spent money on those premium commercial grade hoses and I've spent money on those metal hoses as well. I've always had problems that made those hoses less than ideal.1. the commercial are allegedly "tough". Well, they're also heavy and unwieldy. It's a chore to loop them back or take them off my hose wheel. In addition, I don't know what I do but I invariably get leaks. I spent more money on commercial grade hoping that it would work but I have numerous leaks. If I'm spending close to a hundred dollars, i need my product to last for at least 2 years and survive my violent usage.2. The metal one is nice. it's light weight but a bit pricey when I bought it and the length was a little short. (I think it's a 50 ft and I needed a 75ft) My problem was that I don't want to spend money AND when it gets sunny, that hose burns my hands. So far, I've had my metal one and no leaks. It's nice if you don't have to deal with hot weather/sun. I use it run water to the other side of the house. I use it more like plumbing devise.3. This one. I needed a new hose. The metal one wasn't working out. I saw this one and thought "it can't be any worse than the commercial one. It's definitely cheaper"Let's put the cons in first. The fittings feel cheap. It wasn't a big deal for me because I was going to (and I have) put in those quick change fittings. It's just easier when I have to water various plants around my home. So the fittings weren't a deal breaker. In addition, I got a solid sprinkler hose sprayer and it feels solid. It's not a piece of junk so when my current hose sprinkler head breaks, I'll use this one. That's the end of the cons.The pros- It's lightweight. When you are hauling a 75 feet of hose, you really don't want to haul a 75 feet of hose. (My "commercial" grade was a hundred 100ft) . The water pressure expands the hose and I have had no problems with the length. Just measure what your required length is and pick the one that - when expanded - will reach that length. It also shrinks as you empty it out at the end so you don't have to haul it back to put it away.As you can tell, I'm a bit .. abusive. I've got loads of things that snag on my hoses from various raised beds to pots of plants to other outdoor standard equipment like grills and chairs. I usually get my first hose leak within a summer. (I use duct tape and prayers to last me through the season.) I have not pulled out the duct tape on this hose and I have not been gentle. I'm shocked.I never realized how much I detested the bulky, stiff, thick heavy garden hoses. This one is just perfect for me. At the price, it's even better. I won't cry when I break this one. It's easy for me to put away which means that I'm more likely to put the hose away rather than throwing it on the drive way and running away.Bottom line -I like this product a lot. Can you tell? It's a god send to have such a sturdy lightweight hose that does what it's supposed to do. Your mileage may vary but this is one very happy gardener.The overall star is just because of the fittings. I heartily encourage people to buy the quick change adapters. Even if the fittings were perfect, it makes life easier to use the quick changes.I also put the durability at a 4. After all, it's still gardening season and I have an impressive murder rate on my garden hoses. It's managed to survive this long so I'm optimistic that this just might be the last hose I buy.. Hey, I can dream.

Lightweight. Works great!
There are not many things more frustrating in life then trying to roll up a stiff garden hose. Many is the time I have cursed the sky while only halfway through re-rolling a troublesome water hose. If it is a chilly day, I venture to say that the neighbors 2 streets over would close their windows at the staccato sounds of my vocal explosions. Kinky is good, you say? Well, not when it comes to your garden hose, my friend.Order this hose today. Take the time in between it’s arrival and now, and forcefully remove your old hose. Kick it, stomp it and stuff it deep into your trash can. If it were legal, I’d say burn it while dancing around the firelight singing about how your hose will never kink again. It is not legal in most places, so don’t burn it, but you may still feel like dancing around the trash can. Please do.One note of caution: like any other beloved member of your household, don’t leave it outside in the blazing sun nor in the frigid cold. With a little love and respect, your new water hose will happily follow you everywhere you go, and quietly retreat when its day’s work is done.You’re going to love it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!!

A light garden hose
I bought this garden hose because I've been eyeballing this type of hose for a while now. I really do like this hose. I have bushes, plants, etc. that need watering and in the heat of the summer they need an extra drink. I don't like dragging my regular garden hoses out to do that because they are a pain in the arse to get out and put away. NOT SO WITH THIS! This hose is not for use with power washers, it's for running water from point A to point B. I can actually water all I need and then turn the water off and watch it shrink back down to storage size. It comes with a hanger that will hold the hose when not in use. I tried using the hose to wash a car and it works just fine. I don't believe it would stand up to a lot of pressure so I let it run in the grass instead of using the nozzle to cut the water off. I am glad I bought it and will update my review if it lasts a few seasons. I don't expect it to last more than a couple years so maybe I'll be surprised.

Great hose for indoor use only
The hose expands from 25' to 75' as it fills up. It comes with a decent plastic nozzle. I would definitely limit use for indoor only (i hook it to a sink to re-fill my indoor hot tub. The brass connections appear very strong, but am concerned about how much it bends near the faucet head when it extends to the maximum 75 feet. Also, without the nozzle, it tends to shrink a bit, but not much. Very lightweight and perfect for the application we use it for.

Best Flexible Expanding Hose
I've had 2 'Pocket Hose' in the past, but they both burst after two years... I purchased another brand, but it didn't expand well and felt like a slinky. I found this on sale as I needed a longer hose, and it's been super consistent, responsive, and easy to fold back up for storage after use. I definitely recommend it.

Easy to use. Easy to store
This garden hose is very easy to use and very easy to store. Even kids have fun using it as it extends in a fun way while filled with water. The handle is light weight and easy to operate, the hose is also light weight, easily movable from place to place as needed. It’s fast and easy to roll back to the start position and stored. The feature of extending its length while pumping water is great. It can reach a lot of distant spots thanks to extending

Great Lightweight hose
Loved this so much I bought two more. Have a large yard and was using a traditional 100 ft hose. Was always left spread through the yard because it was a pain to roll it up and put it away. These shrink down and can be rolled up easily. Also much lighter to drag around the yard.

Better than the rest
Hands down the best hose I’ve had, no more hose reels that get all tangled and kinked. Perfect for a quick plant watering or clean up from kids on the patio.
