Seems like a decent product however picture shows a shutoff valve on the hose which would be very useful but there is not one . Also no adapters or connections for hose nozzles. Giving 3 stars because if I wanted to go to the store to buy pieces I could've bought a hose there

I purchased a 50' GrowGreen hose to find it was not long enough. I didn't want to spend the extra money, so I purchased this RoyalHouse brand instead. The outside fabric catches on the ground (rocks, bark) and snags the material. So, it isn't holding up as well. The 'shower' setting on the nozzle is not gentle enough and I had to steal my husband's nozzle to replace it (he hasn't said anything yet). When it breaks, I plan to buy the GrowGreen 75' to replace it.

I bought 3 hoses and they all got holes in them within a year. They are great to use, super light weight and shrink to a small size but they don't last long. I recommend finding expandable hose that has a life time guarantee because you will need to replace it.

I live in a super dry area with new sod, so I use this guy AT LEAST twice a day. Pros: - It's super light weight. - It's easy to store. I just drop it in a flower pot on my porch and I don't have to worry about wrapping it up. - It doesn't kink or knot like regular hoses. - It stands up to weather very well. When I accidentally left it outside for a couple weeks while on vacation, I came back and it still looked new. Held up to the sun and rain great! - It looks so much better and is much more compact than your typical hose. Cons: - The retraction can be a little annoying. I hook this up to different staked sprinklers in the yard and the one that's furthest away is JUST long enough to reach. I've noticed it pulling the stake out of the ground when it retracts, so if i don't disconnect the hose immediately it becomes a hassle. - I've noticed the water pressure isn't consistent when I hook it up to my sprinkler. To get the distance for the sprinkler that I need, I have to turn off the hose valve to the sprinkler and let the hose fully fill up, then turn the valve back on to get the high pressure for a couple rotations before it starts to retract again. Overall, I'll continue to use it because I prefer the ease of use and look of it more than our old green hoses, I just wish the retraction didn't start while the hose was running.
