Blew up on my face
bought one two weeks ago and used it four times and it cracked. Got a replacement. When I turned on the water, it just blew upon my face and the hole was about half an inch. I bought one three years ago of another brand and it lasted me that long. this doesn't even deserve a rating.

    Although I haven't used it with water, I hooked it up to see how it would handle first. It's OK if you have a straight shot to whatever you are working on, but if there is anything in the way like plants or corners, it will strangle them or hang up. Nice storage rack design, but not for me.

    Purchased to replace one exactly like it that developed a leak. Original purchased from Home Depot in store, but no longer stocked. Hose stays coiled and out of the way with included rack, excellent for watering porch plants.

    In order to get optimal life and performance from your coil hose always’ s turn off the water, release the pressure and store the hose in the shade.

    This product is very arkward to handle. It shoud come with a nossel. You would not want to attach it to your property in anyway. It is not flexible enough to provide the convenience you need for your watering projects.

    It's good quality material and doesn't leak. The price was reasonably and I'd order it again.

    These are light duty hose’s designed for patio/deck use. Any pressurized hose left out in the direct sunlight can expand by 50% of its original diameter. This is due to the water and material heating up and the pressure causing the hose to expand. The hose will most likely burst closest to the coupling because the metal restricts the expansion of the hose at that point. In order to get optimal life and performance from your coil hose always’ s turn off the water, release the pressure and store the hose in the shade.

    This is just what we wanted. Bought identical hose to replace the old one that lasted several years. Good for small areas.

    Great hose. Sturdy metal connections are way better than cheap plastic.
