Flexi Hose Lightweight Expandable Garden Hose, 25FT -Retractable Garden Hose, Water Hose - No-Kink Flexibility, 3/4 Inch Solid Brass Fittings and Double Latex Core

I've used these expandable hoses in the past and like them, but I usually only get 2-3 years out of them before the latex core cracks and blow open. I've tried using repair ends on them before, but by the time they start leaking, usually the entire core is full of cracks and they just keep failing. They just don't last very long. Last time one of them blew apart, I tried replacing it with a FlexZilla hose. Big mistake. While probably a lot more durable, that hose would kink if you looked at it funny, and it was a nightmare to wind back onto the hanger that I have screwed to the side of the house. I returned it after trying it once. I bought this hose because it has decent reviews and the company seems to have been around a few years. I've bought flex hoses on Amazon before but the product listings and the companies selling them would usually disappear after 6-12 months. Not exactly confidence inspiring. So far, this hose is about as good as any of the others. It's light, easy to coil back onto the hanger, expands well, and does not kink. I like that most of these hoses have a built-in shutoff valve because I use quick connect fittings on the end of my hose. Very convenient to be able to shut off the water when swapping nozzles so I don't accidentally take a bath. I lubricate all the threads and seals of my hoses with a rubber-safe grease, usually either Sil-Glyde or Super Lube. This keeps the threaded connections from seizing and the seals from abrading. I've only used the hose a couple of times but it's worked fine. Like I said it's light and easy to maneuver, which is a big deal when I have all 75 feet of it out so I can reach all the way to the driveway, and it's easy to coil back up once it's empty. Time will tell if it's any more durable than the others but at this price I will (grudgingly) replace it every couple of years until someone invents something better.

I love this little blender. My trusty Nutribullet blender died after 15 years. I started making homemade oatmilk creamer for my coffee and looking for new blender that wasn't a traditional big heavy blender. This blender has some great features: its glass inside, plastic on the outside. The glass is thick so it insulates for hot or cold but also sound, it's so much quieter than the old nutribullet I used for years. I love that it's got powerful blades that make my smoothies super blended and my oatmilk creamer is delicious! I love it heats up, boils water for tea. Super nice features, powerful 800watt, very quiet, strong stainless steal blades. The preset timers are interesting, but you can stop and start as you need, so not an issue. Even with the Glass insulation, it's less heavy than my traditional Cuisinart blender. I didnot know if I was comfortable cleaning it since the plug port is on the side near the bottom, but I've had no issues rinsing out the unit under the sink and being mindful to not run the water over the port. LOVE IT!

I love these. Converted all 4 hoses at our house to these. They look great, hide easily, don't kink, don't have permanent twists, and are extremely easy to handle. No tangling unless you purposely tie them in a knot. The hoses are actually two hoses, one inside the other. The inner hose is an extremely flexible expanding rubber-like material. The outer hose is linearly stretchy cover which keeps the inner hose from expanding outward too much. Be aware that because of the design, when the water supply is turned off, they will continue to squirt for a minute or so as the remaining water inside the hose is squeezed out, which allows them to shrink back to their original size. There are two bugaboos with this design. First, if you leave them in the sun all day they become sun damaged and begin to leak after a couple of years and need to be replaced. Second, avoid abrasions that might cause hidden damage on the outside. When that happens the hose will pop like a car tire blowout and then need to be replaced. For these reasons you should never leave the hose under pressure. When you're done using it, turn the water off at the source to avoid surprises. All in all we wouldn't go back to old style hoses. If one of these pops every few years, so be it. We just buy another one. It's not worth our time fighting with those old style hoses when they need to be used or put away.

It is light weight and easy to pull through the yard!

This has been a great hose for several years. I have enjoyed the ease of using it. It has been taken care of, e.g., has been in a hose container and protected from the weather. Several weeks ago a leak occurred in the fabric just below the metal connector at the spigot, but not at the connector. Given a contact number by Amazon, I contacted the company for a replacement since it came with a lifetime warranty, which I might add was a good part of the reason for purchasing. After several back and forth emails that seemed to request at least some of the purchase information again, I would be getting a replacement, but NOT the same one originally purchased, but one (after looking it up) that was HALF THE PURCHASE PRICE of my original hose. I received the Silver Bullet Pocket Hose instead of the Flexihose. I realize that my hose cost less a few years ago, and that the replacement is actually closer to my original purchase price, but it's the same product that should be the replacement, despite inflation. Maybe it will last awhile, but the point is that they are falling short of their advertised lifetime warranty if they won't replace with the same product purchased. There were other reviewers who were pleased and gave positive reviews requested replacements. Perhaps the hose is not warrantied this way anymore, but it was when I purchased it and that matters to the customer. UPDATE: NECESSITY dictates that I must update this previous review; and I have gave a star less based solely on customer service rather than on product. The replacement (pocket hose) I received is no where near the hose I originally bought; and it's an understatement that I am frustrated, and that I even troubled myself to get my Flexi Hose replaced, as well as waiting about two weeks to receive it. I just hope no one pays good money for this pocket hose. You can not even put a nozzle on it; you twist the nozzle that's attached to turn it on, and when you twist to turn off it dribbles (leaks, rather) water from the spray nozzle. Maybe it's worth $30, but I don't think so, and the quality doesn't match up to the Flexi Hose, which is a pretty good hose; this pocket hose probably won't last very long. I'd rather pay a few bucks more for a better performing hose. The main point is THIS: IT WAS MY REPLACEMENT for the Flexi Hose that I have had, that came (or so it said) with lifetime warranty. If the company decided that the hose shouldn't have a lifetime warranty, that's fine as long as those that purchased under that warranty are honored if their hose tears up; they should replace it and inform the customer that hoses acquired after such and such date will not have a lifetime warranty. BOTTOM LINE: A company should stand true to what they advertise. I am more than disappointed. I will look for another hose from a different maker and hope this cheaper hose one can make it until then. P.S. How annoying to see the Flexi Hose on HD website and still advertising the Lifetime Warranty.

I’ve not used it much but so far I really like the ease of use and how much it collapses. It feels really durable too. I don’t know how long it will last outdoors. There is something different going on with our air quality that has really taken a toll on the things that stay outdoors.

Survives being left hooked up & left outside over the winter to fill the wildlife's bird bath & water bowl when not too frozen out. Lasts several years of this. Sturdy. Doesn't burst on you just because you set it down for a moment with the water running. 2nd one I've owned. It doesn't shrink down completely but that keeps it from bursting like they normally do. A great hybrid between a pocket hose & a regular hose.

I write a few reviews of my Amazon purchases, particularly when I have something to relate that other potential purchasers may find useful or informative. So I was asked to write a review of this hose and really don’t know what to say - it’s good quality out of the box, fittings are secure, stop valve at the end (which I really like when using it with my pressure washer for instance). It’s light and expands a lot. So far so good. But here is the catch. I buy a lot of expandable hoses and they all have a fairly short life in use. That soft latex core just doesn’t seem to last. My front yard is long - I string 2 x 100ft hoses together to get the length I need. I know standard hoses would last longer but I just don’t want to be winding and unwinding long lengths of heavy pipe together just to water a few flowers. So I go for expandable hoses and the issue is they typically perish quickly - sometimes after only a few months - leak, fracture and fail in different ways. So I tried this one and like I said it seems good quality out of the box. Time will tell if/when it fails. If it does I will come back and update this review!

I only received this a couple of days ago. It seems to be a great hose, not heavy however, you do need a connecting part if you want to attach a multi sprinkler etc. Also the part that attached to the tap is a simple screw on connector not a pull down and off connector which I was used to. I will have to purchase a converter to make it possible to connect the pull down part to the tap. Brilliant price and lifetime guarantee. I would have given 5 stars if it had the more user friendly connectors.

I recently moved house and for the first time I have a garden! I had originally bought a cheaper version of expandable garden hose from a brand I'd never heard of. Well, that hose leaked right out of the box and I swiftly returned and replaced with this original Flexi Hose. Absolutely worth the (not that much) extra ££. I'd been struggling with an old-syle hose that had been left and was SO heavy and unwieldy. This is a brilliant hose. Light weight, absolutely does not kink, and no leaks. I have to admit that at first I thought it would never expand to the length of the my garden (which is exactly 50 foot) but it is like magic. And once the water is turned off and you empty the hose through the spray gun, it shrinks right back up to the original unexpanded size. If it's possible to love a garden hose, then I love this one!

Al principio pensé que no se iba a extender x3 del todo, que ya sería una exageración comercial. Mi sorpresa es que lo ha hecho perfectamente, y que funciona de maravilla. Muy recomendable.
