HansgroheIsiflex - universal fit shower hose 1.60 m, tangle free, flexible shower head hose anti-kink, incl. sealing rings, chrome, 28276000 (Packaging may vary)

This is a really excellent shower hose. It doesn't become either hot or cold, so when it touches your skin it just feels neutral. It's flexible and light (although certainly not flimsy), it was simplicity itself to fit to a standard Triton shower - and doesn't leak or drip at all. It's darker than the metal coil-type hose which is usually fitted to showers, and it has a slight sheen/glow - so it looks better and more luxurious.Thank you to the reviewers here who mentioned that both washers were packed into one end of the hose, otherwise I would have missed that fact. (The washers are standard and so, should they ever perish or wear down, it's easy to get new ones (and I bought a packet of ten washers here on Amazon at the same time as I bought this hose, just in case). Something else worth mentioning is that the hose is very twisted in the packaging and at first it seems that it will forever be twisting against where you want to go when you use the shower, but after a couple of showers the hot water running through the hose gets rid of all the kinks and it's then perfectly smooth and unkinked.I'm just about to order another of these hoses for the (brand new) shower/mixer tap on a new bath. I was going to wait until the existing hose lost its colour, but I've decided that the new bath and taps will look even better with this hose - and I won't run the risk of scratching the new bath with the Hansgrohe hose which I would with the one fitted to the new shower/mixer unit.A really excellent shower hose.16 November 2017 - The hose is still performing perfectly and looking as good as new (it just needs an occasional simple wipe over with some descaler on the cloth to remove limescale, something which is virtually impossible to do with conventional twisted metal hoses). I haven't yet needed to change either of the washers. A second hose, which I bought for the shower unit over the bath, is also 'as new' after over a year.

These are top. Last one lasted about17years and only replaced because I wanted it to look smarter.

I bought this to replace a standard flexible hose, which collected dirt no matter how much I dried and cleaned it after every shower. This one isn’t quite as flexible but it’s so quick to wipe down after use, doesn’t collect any dirt or germs and looks so much better than the cheaper hoses. A great buy, well worth the money.

This is an expensive hose but the built in swivel means it should also much longer than the hoses without swivels as it is stressed far less in use. It has a nice finish which is easy to keep clean. it is also nicer to use as the handset doesn't get so twisted. I have noticed that the swivel section drips occasionally while the hose is on the stand but as soon as the swivel moves it seals. (hose 3 years old).

Just as expected, a perfect fit.

Easy to attach and works well. A little bit stiff and rotates the shower head in the holder but this is a minor issue.

Debated for a while whether to buy this or stick with another of those metal concertina ones but after years of scrubbing that every week to get the black muck out out, decided to go with this. Excellent, watertight fit, lovely wipe clean finish and doesn’t get all tangled up. Impressed and very pleased with the quality. 5 year guarantee too so nothing to dislike.

Bought to replace a shorter hansgrohe hose which started leaking after 8 years regular use. Found it at a good price on Amazon. A quality original hansgrohe item and easy to fit, with clear instructions. In operation, it has an attractive and resilient 'matt shine' finish that's easy to wipe clean and doesn't attract calcium deposits like metal hose. 2m length allows use of shower head on additional holder halfway down long side of bath, as well as high on shower rail, without stretching
