Light weight. Easy to store in the small, sturdy, plastic container it came in. One note: if you will be using this hose around cactus or other spiny desert plants, be sure to wear thick gloves when handling the hose. The external woven hose covering will pick both large and tiny spines which WILL transfer to your skin

The heavy-duty quality compared to other expanding hoses is apparent, but it tends to leak at the spigot connection, and the thumb control is difficult to operate and not as intuitive as a regular trigger-style sprayer. When extended, it tries to pull back when changing the nozzle setting.

the hose is great, i bought another one a few weeks ago, however ghe 2nd purchase got a missing part. its the nuzzle adapter, not sure that I'm calling it right! im not sure that this review will be seen by the seller! i don't want to return it, as i was needing a 100 feet lenght!

Nice concept, but the hose restricts the water pressure greatly due to the small hole size in the ball valve. The result is half the pressure I normally get with my regular hose. Also recommends that you do not leave it outdoors especially in sun. I cannot baby a hose. I am going back to traditional.

I don’t know what these other reviewers experienced, but this hose expanded to over 50 feet, has not come apart in Phoenix 100 degree heat and “power washed” my lawn chairs with the single stream position - or shot water 20-30 feet across my lawn! The thumb-controlled spray head is very, very easy to control the flow.

Literally hands down the best hose I've ever had and I've went through my fair share over the years. I love the nozzle and the 50 ft of length this bad boy has. I promise you'll not regret coming off of the money you spend for this thing. Trust me and most importantly trust Al Boreland!!

I am almost 70, so I've owned a couple of garden hoses and this is the BEST ever! It is light as a feather, tough as nails. My home is brick and I have several raised rock wall gardens, so there are plenty of opportunities to snag, but this hose just slides by like those walls are made of silk. The couplings don't leak and the thumb spray nozzle, which is very high quality, doesn't either. It's a great buy and would even make a great gift!

This is the most convenient and highest quality hose and nozzle. Love that you do not have to hold down a lever while watering. It has so many settings from a light mist to pressure washer. I also love that it shrinks down when water is turned off, so much less hose to hang.

I never thought that I would spend sixty dollars on a stupid hose, but after lugging a heavy asshose out from underneath the deck, every day, I took a strain on my back. So first, this is nice to have for the fact that it is so light and it just shrinks. I don't think it's worth $60, but maybe like 40. it is nice and does what it says amazingly!!!!!!

Great hose and nozzle! Affordable pricing! Makes watering my flowers and garden so much easier! No more fighting over the hard rubber hose and leaving it out because it’s too hard to wind back up! Which was a safety issue… The little box it came in makes a nice storage container for garden supplies too!
