Acmind 50FT Expandable Garden Hose, Extra Strength Fabric and Double Latex Core Water Hose, 3/4" Solid Brass Fittings Flexible No-Kink Expanding Hose With 9 Function Spray Nozzle

Originally when I first moved into my home a few years back, I got a 50ft Craftsman hard rubber hose. Now don't get me wrong, that thing has been super dependable and has been a champion at every task I've thrown at it, but one thing that gets me every time is fighting the might of an anaconda when raveling it and unraveling it.My garage is pretty tight when both cars are parked in it and it's a big pain in the you-know-what when I have to use the hose, especially if I don't wan to move the car out of the way. After feeling like a chump for years now, I finally decided to invest in a lightweight hose. This one caught my attention not only by its price, but by the fact it comes with that faucet hanging plate (and the color, cuz yellow is my fave <3). I put it to use first day it came in to water parts of my lawn and as expected, it was easy to move around and isn't wildly as my Craftsman hose. The real test comes when I hooked it up to my pressure washer. Now as a disclosure, I don't have one of those crazy, crazy pressure washers that would go through your wall, just a 1200psi one that is great at what I use it for, washing my car. Thankfully this is just as capable as old hose and I am totally stoked about keeping it nice and coiled and tucked away properly on that included hanger.Can't believe it took me this long to get in with this new school design, but hey, better late than never.

I have a huge backyard and have tried the 100ft version of this as well as the 25ft version. The 100ft version was too cumbersome and as soon as you start to water, it "retracts" considerably and you lose 10-15 feet quickly and have to back up or allow pressure to come back into the hose. The 25ft one was too short to reach what I needed.The spray nozzle on this doesn't have a good low setting like some others, but you can adjust the pressure easily by hand or the other adjustment.This hose does feel better made than the others I've tried. I don't know how long it'll last, but seems like it'll be at least a few years given the feel of the hose.1 year update. Loved it until 3 months ago. Spray nozzle stopped working well (have to manually push the back to turn it off - doesn’t turn off when you stop pulling sprayer).Hose burst happened about 3 inches from end. Almost exactly a year later. Looks like items is unavailable but buy similar ones knowing they’ll probably not last.

Save yourself the money and buy something that's guaranteed to last! I purchased one of these for my backyard so I could avoid the normal hose from being so difficult to drag around and water plants in my backyard. After a few months I liked this hose and its maneuverability so I bought another for my front yard. After another month, my backyard hose ruptured midway. After that, no water got to the end of the hose where the nozzle is located which made the hose worthless at that point. Just this last week the other hose for the front yard did the same thing but right at where it connects to the water faucet that comes out of the wall. Now I have two worthless hoses. Neither lasted longer than 6 months, with the newer one only lasting 3 months. I will NEVER purchase another one of these types of hoses again after experiencing such short lifespans. If you want to risk it, buy one and see for yourself. Otherwise do as I just did and purchase a typical hose that's hard to pull around the yard but will last for years. The one I purchased elsewhere was $24 and I noticed when I got it home that it has a lifetime guarantee. For the price and the "never will rupture" guarantee, it's worth dealing with it being so cumbersome. At least it will do its job and transport water without worry of rupturing and outright losing the money I paid for it.

UPDATE:leaking hose within 10 months, and I took good care of this hose.Previous review:This hose is lightweight and soooo portable. I take better care of my garden because it is so easy to use and move around. I live in southern Florida where it gets very hot, and plants can die quickly without attention. If I lived in a cold winter climate I would drain and store the hose inside. I do keep my Acmind expandable hose on the convenient hose hanger that came with this hose. When I want to move it to another faucet I can use the hanger to transport it to and another faucet and hang it there. I do store it on a faucet that is out of the sun, and I always shut off the faucet and drain out the water to take pressure off of the hose. I am careful not to over stretch it and would never use it with a pressure washer. It is nice and light yet sturdier than my previous expandable hose which was a different brand. Always give it a little time to expand after you turn on the water so it can stretch out! The nozzle has 9 different spray patterns, more than I will ever use. I really like this. It come with a storage bag that I will never use, but other people may like to use. It also came with 2 extra rubber washers.

worked fine for a while, the nozzle broke in < 6 months and the hose burst in a little under a year. can't expect too much for $20 but would not buy this brand again

# 1 IT MAY SAY 50' BUT IT IS 25' UNTIL YOU TURN THE WATER ON THEN IT IS 50' ! AFTER YOU TURNIT OFF IT WILL SHRIVEL BACK TO 25'# 2 DO NOT AND I SAY DO NOT LEAVE THE WATER TURNED ON WITH THE HOSE TURN OFF OR IT WILL SPRING A LEAK EVERY TIME! Putting a water switch on the hose was a dumb Idea!!!I have owned 2 that leaked!

I originally gave this hose 5 stars, but it is now 9 months later and I have revised that to 2 stars. The hose is maneuverable, easy to use, and light weight. Unfortunately, it disintegrated halfway through it’s first summer. Very disappointing :-(
