Quality Source Products Garden Hose 50 Feet Expandable Hose with All Brass Connectors Expanding 3X Size

So I gave it an overall 4 of 5 stars for 1 specific reason. I feel the hose needs to be purchased in a longer size than needed. I found this thing acts like a spring. When it has water flowing through it expands, when water goes off it contracts. So in a scenario like mine I wish I had a few extra feet because I have mine attached to a sprinkler house that runs through my garden and so with this new hose expanding and contracting it messes with the other hoses placement. I purchased this so the weather changes would have less impact and do less damage to this hose and it has helped a ton on that front but I just wish I had thought of that aspect and purchased like 60-75 feet instead.

I'm really loving this hose. When I first bought my home, I was so excited to get one of those super long 120ft hoses from Home Depot. However, I soon came to realize that these type of hoses can get very cumbersome. I felt like Steve Erwin wrestling a giant boa constrictor every time I set out to water my plants and trees. I put off buying one of these expandable hoses for months. After I finally had enough with the "snake," I bought this and boy what a difference. It's SO LIGHT! Most of all, it's the perfect length. Below are some of the key features I liked and disliked.PROS:- Lightweight- Easy to store- Brass fittings are great- Very durable- Perfect for washing cars (as sometimes the hose goes over the hood or trunk of the car when I'm washing the other side and the soft outerskin doesn't scratch my paint)CONS:- Get's dirty fast, especially if you get it in mud- No storage bagOverall, I definitely feel like I got my moneys worth with this. I've been using this for almost 3 months now and it does the job well.

With shoulder problems i really need this type of hose. I have had three failures with other brands i really hope for good luck with these. I don't recommend this type of hose for hard use or without a backup as mine have all failed suddenly without warning so instead of spending more for a 75 foot hose, I use two these connected.The water pressure seems the same as hard hose with nozzle set to stream for watering far away plants. This type not the best for filing buckets or my small pond and when done watering you need to let the water pressure out of it as it might damage it.ISoft on hands but cover can snag on things but so far no damage to it.As pictured.Not sure about sprinkler since I don't have on e.

It works well, with a few things to keep in mind. You pretty much have to always use it with a hose attachment, in order to restrict the flow so it can get/stay long enough to drag across the yard. It's kind of hard to get the full 50 feet out of it. In order to do that, you'd have to attach a sprayer nozzle and keep it shut off until it fully expands, then turn the sprayer on low. Otherwise, as soon as you fully open the nozzle, it'll quickly shrink. But with those things in mind, it is a good hose. Doesn't kink with normal use, very flexible, soft fabric outer shell is kind of nice, and far cheaper than a good 50ft hose anywhere else.

I was wanting a garden hose that would not kink all the time and would be easy to wind up. So far it is working well. I have used it to wash my dog and to wash our vehicles. It has held up nicely after two uses. It shrinks down to a smaller size so that it can be easily stored when not in use. Some have mentioned that the hose leaks but I have not noticed any leaks but I have only used it twice. I did notice, however, that it was a little tricky to attach to the hand sprayer but I was able to get it screwed on tightly after a few tries. If I notice leaks I will be sure to update my review accordingly.

I bought two of these and they both had holes appear spontaneously within three months. The one on my roof deck burst and leaked all over. I was lucky for a drain. The seller was so nice to replace them both no questions asked, and the shipment was quick. I like the hose and how it's not so bulky, but the quality is questionable since they both broke on their own around the same time. I say remove the pressure from the hose when you're done with it and using a nozzle to make it last longer. This won't last like the hoses we had when we were kids at Grandma's otherwise.

Nice & soft and held up through last winter but it is a stretch to say 50' for useable hose. Realistically I would put it about 35 usable. Once the pressure starts to fall off inside the hose the length starts to fall off with it. By the time you start using water at any significant level the length falls off.

We haven't used it yet but it appears to be ok.Just wish you had the RED 75 ft hoses like the one we bought before. That one has put every other expandable hose we tried to shame and it is still in great shape. Please bring them back.. Hoping this one is as good but since it was only 50 ft I had to get two for the length we wanted. Would much rather have one longer one.
