I was so excited when I started to use this watering hose as it was so light and easy to use. Unfortunately, after 6 weeks using it, it broke. A small hole appeared in one section (which was ok to continue using it), and then another section completely cracked and the inside/liner of the tube broke - the water would not go through anymore. I threw it away and got a new one from another brand.

Do not like this hose! It is compact when water is drained but it is heavy and very hard to move when filled with water. It stretches but does not move when tugged. It just returns to original position unless you pick it up to move. It also has snagged, pulled fibers, when dragged across driveway.

In reality, it is about 50ft or less. Once you charge it, it is long, and when you open the nozzle ..... it really shrinks and gets pretty short. Also some parts after initial use, don't shrink back. It is a nice concept, but execution..... ooooo well........ it sucks.

UPDATE: Hose has a thousand holes, water leaking everywhere, despite being taken care of. did not last more than 2 seasons. This is junk and I would not recommend it. very disappoiting that it did not hold up very long. The stupid nozzle broke only after a few uses. Was great to toggle between type of stream flows but something in the mechanism snapped and now its just makes a floody mess. very disappointing. The hose itself is good, pretty cool, but the nozzle broke way to easily and now i have to get another one.

For years I've been using these shrinking hoses, and I've loved them despite their short lifespans. However, this one isn't anywhere near 50' even when fully filled. And when it is spewing water it shrinks up to very short and is impossible to stretch out by hand. Also, in spite of the tender care I give it, it shows signs of snags everywhere. Will never buy this brand again!

It's lightweight, and that's nice, but after less than 2 months of use it's leaking. The leak isn't from where the nozzle connects to the hose, but below that, up under the black plastic that's below the shut off valve. Every time I use it I'm soaked - my pants, my shoes/feet. Return window was 1 month. So I'm stuck using a bad hose or I have to buy new. Really disappointed.

Brought it and said 50fts but it’s only 10ft long not even enough for me to use with my daily car wash from home.descrition is wrong and otherwise I will keep it.I hope I can get my refund soon and I have no printer at home can’t print it out for return labels!hopefully seller got a bar code for me for free return!!!!!

UPDATE 8/20/19: After just over three months use, this hose now has two large leaks in it. I really thought the quality was better than this. Of course, the return window has closed, and I can't return it. It would be nice if the seller could provide a replacement. Very easy to use and carry around the garden. Super light weight. It expands to 100ft, then shrinks down quite a bit. I like the metal connector - in the past, I had a plastic connector, and it was horrible. For the price, this is a great durable hose.

Actually pissed me off , shrinks even with water flowing. Liked the fittings
