HydroHose Designer Series Expandable Garden Hose (50' Metal) Red Floral with Brass Spray Nozzle

I purchased this based on Amazon statement that the hose was compatible with the auto rewinder. I installed it and the brass connection blew off under full pressure of the water. I called the manufacturer and was told the brass was not compatible and was an error in the writeup!

This worked for about 2 months while using it maybe a few times a week to water 4 pots on the front porch. So lets say maybe 2 hours worth of use. Then I went to use it again and water just poured out the side of the hose. While I was hoping this would be the solution for me, it wasn't. Its out of the return window or I would try to get my money back. Spend that extra money and get something that'll last a season.

Hose split open first time I used it. Don't waste your money

Pros: very lightweight, flexible, less problems with kinking than standard hose, easy to put away - could easily store in an attractive pot on patio.Cons: had lots of problems with the version with plastic fittings; hoping the brass will perform better (not blowing off nozzles, etc.). Hose is not really durable - could be punctured if you are careless. Also, I've had problems with interior plastic around fittings coming loose and blocking water flow. I could clear it, but that can be a pain. These are best used for your light watering chores around the house.I love these for my hand watering around my house. I'm not wrestling with a heavy hose and can easily gather up to put away, similar to a soft rope when water is shut off. I think they are great for this use but would not use them for my standard heavy duty watering in the yard - sprinkler use for watering lawns, etc. I have a LOT of plants around my home in pots that require hand watering almost daily so this comes in handy. I was really tired of wrestling with standard hoses, heavy, kinking, twisting, etc. I just wish these were manufactured a bit better to avoid the problems mentioned. DONT BOTHER with the ones with plastic hose ends...they will not stay on your nozzles for long.

Sadly, bought two of these Hydrohose brand hoses, and BOTH of them burst within 6 weeks. They got twisted up and just popped! Hydrohose has not returned my emails. Save your money and get something that'll actually last....these things are extremely delicate.
