Not great when winding back up on a traditional hose holder. Very difficult to do. You must leave the nozzle open and shut off the water for it to rewind itself, which causes issues of watering going everywhere it is not wanted and the hose tangling when winding up. A hose upright stand seems to work a bit better but still leaves similar issues. It definitely doesn't kink and does the job when extended.

I had been shopping around looking for a new hose and the prices were absurd considering the quality of them were horrendous. I saw this and it seemed pretty legit for the asking price. So I purchased it and fell inlove. The hose is very durable and easy to store. The copper fittings do not leak and they have a pack of extra washers just incase a faucet leak occurs. The sprayer is super easy to use, only takes your thumb. No squeezing required, so it's bone/joint/muscle friendly for those of us with tender hands. The water pressure from the sprayer is superb as well. Makes cleaning my bird bath so much easier. So I definitely recommend getting this hose. The box it comes in is durable and made for you to store your hose and sprayer when its time to put it away, for those living where winters are cold lol

I love this hose! This is my third one- I have one for my front %26 back yard and this is for my utility room. I also the hose in both of my stores and give them as gifts! They are sturdy, I love the power behind the hose, and I love how it contracts when it is not in use. You never realize the difference a hose can make until you get a really really nice one – and this is it! Quality product, they last a very long time, and I was very impressed that when I ordered it, it was there on my doorstep in less than 24 hours

I have been wanting this hose for a long time. When my old hose got too cumbersome and difficult to roll back up, I bought THIS hose - my dream hose. Since I spend a lot of time in my yard with my plants, I needed a hose that doesn’t make my job harder. I wanted a lightweight hose that is easy to put away. This hose did that and much more. Today was a good day to test out this hose. Is it really a dream? YES! I like the thumb wheel control for adjusting the water pressure. So easy. The hose itself is easy to maneuver around rocks %26 other obstacles in my yard. It has so many settings, and I tried every one of them. I love the full spay and wide spray the best. I think my plants like them too. After using the hose today for almost an hour (we have a lot of plants to water), it was easy to drain it and put it away properly so that it will last longer. As I feel less tired than usual and a sense of accomplishment using it, I can declare this my dream hose %26 give it 5 stars. If I could give it more stars, I would! This hose made my yard work so much easier today. I’m actually looking forward to watering my thirsty plants in the future!

I needed a new hose for the front yard, which the primary use would be for washing our cars. The hose feels high quality, but the thumb spray nozzle was exactly what I was looking for. Love the different settings and how it doesn’t leak at all. Honestly made washing my car a lot less painful!

I already had a 25 ft one of these and only wanted 25 more feet. but for the price I went ahead and got the 50 ft one and just attached it to the first one. I love these because at my age dragging around the heavy hoses is just to physically difficult. this makes my gardening and yard work so much more easy.

This hose is wonderful! We tried it out today and our young son thought it was so fun how it grows and shrinks with water. We love how much space we save and the different sprayer settings. Add in that it looks beautiful wrapped around our stylish metal hose holder and we are very satisfied with this product!

In general, i actually like the hose, but it does NOT expand to 50’. My tree is about 25’ from the hose bib %26 this hose, fully expanded, barely reaches. The box was sealed, so don’t believe that a 25’ hose could have been substituted. Plan to return and get the 100’ hose; maybe that will expand to 50’.

We purchased 3 of these hoses for use in our back yard. While we had watched all the TV commercials and noticed remarkable new features, we are highly disappointed with the lacking of these hoses for tight kinking, after water is discharged and hose relaxes, and now one leaks. Will be returning all of these inferior products.

This is my second copper bullet pocket hose. I bought one last year and loved it! Expandable hoses are easier to put away but most brands I tried were not heavy duty quality and would burst if you stepped on it. This one is sturdy! I have arthritis and the thumb roll regulator is so easy and doesn’t hurt my hand. It doesn’t kink. I would definitely buy again!
