J&B XpandaHose 100ft Expandable Garden Hose - Heavy Duty Superior Strength 3750D - 4 -Layer Latex Core - Extra Strong Brass Connectors and Storage Bag (Black 100)

The J&B 100ft. expandable hose has been a slam dunk for me! I have had a couple of different brands of expandable hose at my house (we have a large backyard area with plants along the entire border and a pool in the center) and the J&B hose is by far the best I have tried. The hose has a great weight to it and you can definitely feel the quality in their construction. The all brass fittings and the ball valve at the end is a great feature. The exterior sheath stands out as exceptional for its durability even when being dragged across rough brick pavers by kids (other brands I have tried fray and get really ratty looking after only a few weeks). The real value comes in the customer service from J&B itself. Unfortunately my hose did end up with a leak (definitely not uncommon with this type of hose, just as a matter of fact and the leak was non-catastrophic so I was still able to use the hose) but my email to J&B about a warranty claim was responded to within 24 hrs (by John of J&B, himself!). After sending a quick picture/ video of the issue, my new hose is on its way! Not having to shell out for another hose is beyond invaluable and the customer service at J&B is truly second-to-none. I highly recommend the J&B hose; just buy it, you will thank me later.

I AM IN LOVE with this specific hose from this specific vendor. Expandable hoses are a genius idea and one desperately needed in our yard, although up until this one, the engineering execution has been deplorable. We have 1/2 acre. Most of it is planted and needs irrigation. We have some of the long heavy hoses from Sam’s - some of them as much as 10 years old and they are all but indestructible. But they weigh like a million pounds and handling them is akin to bear wrestling. Hubs and I both have shoulder issues and as we get older, these hoses are just not doing it for us.I’ve been truly desperate for a 100’ hose that I can actually handle. If they aren’t super heavy, they kink like crazy. When we tried expandable hoses before, the money was basically stolen by unethical vendors selling junk product.The need for a quality expandable hose is great so I have kept looking. This one says just about all the same things that they all do, but it has one overriding plus: the reviews that relate exceptional customer service if the customer DID have a problem.With that in mind, I bit the bullet and paid $80 for a 3.5 pound, 100’ expanding hose. Even when it’s full of water, I can carry the entire length of the hose in one hand. It never kinks. It doesn’t have to be wound or wrapped. When not in use, this one lives quickly plopped into a nursery pot.We have had the driest April I can remember in a while and it’s been used a lot in the 1 month we have had it. There has never been one single issue with anything about it. It has a built in brass shutoff on the end, which is a freaking GENIUS value added. I use a good quality spray head with a fire hose style shutoff but the one on the end of the hose is perfect to control water pressure when it’s hooked to a sprinkler or an irrigation system.I don’t mind dragging it out or, perhaps most importantly, putting it away.This hose comes with a lifetime guarantee. So do some others, but that thing only counts if the company actually honors it. Reviews for other hoses are filled with complaints about how crappy they are and how the companies didn’t stand behind the product. Reviews for THIS hose commonly state that the buyers who needed service were satisfied with the company’s response. That’s the part that convinced me to pay WAY more for this product than most regular water hoses cost.As I said, it’s early in the season but so far this is one of the best tools in my garden. I’ve shared the link on most of my FB gardening and homesteading pages and reviewed it for the other members. I’m reasonably confident that, should the longevity of this hose be as disappointing as the others were, the company will work with me. Hoping against hope that what actually happens is that it continues to perform and I continue to love it. In fact, I love it so much that if it works well all summer, this delightful tool will be chosen Christmas gifts for our gardening daughters.

My on/off valve came off somewhere in the yard and I couldn't find it. I reached out to J&B XpandaHose and they immediately replaced it.Great warranty if you are looking for a hose that has a lifetime guarantee warranty!

I used the 75 ft hose from 5/23 - 9/23 and got a leak yesterday. I contacted customer support via email to request a replacement hose and got a suspicious email back stating their sales were suspended. I spoke with Amazon customer service who verified it wasn't true (account NOT suspended, site clearly up and running). I can add hose to cart & purchase.It took 3-4 emails to them and they finally honored their warranty. I received my new hose today. Keep on emailing them and they will stand behind their lifetime warranty.

Light weight easy to use no hassle

Have only had it a couple of weeks and barely used it. The "fabric" is falling apart, like all fuzzy, like an old sweater. It looks ten years old. Totally disappointed. Super poor quality. I would give it a zero, but I think one star is the lowest I can go. I have bought other brands, and had no issue with a similar product. The other brand was sold out, which is why I gave this one a try. Don't buy it. I never write reviews like this, but this one is bad and I feel ripped off. I just missed the return deadline.

This hose is very well made and sturdy. Comes in a nice pouch for storage. Very happy I bought this hose.

i loved this hose, then one day the hose just blew out of the brass fitting. no unusual pulling etc. Big disappointment. when i tried to contact through amazon, absolutely no help! if they wont honor the warrenty, might as well buy on of the cheap ones!

We couldn’t use this product as it won’t connect to our tap or attachments. We never had any issues with the 75ft hose
