Excellent

I had high hopes for this one. Light weight, seemed to have a good construction for outside material and perfect length. HOWEVER, I bought two different nozzles thinking they were the problem, but nope...it was leaking where the hose connects to the metal end. Don't buy it or get a free shower while using it.

Hose burst on first use. Product details claims a bursting strength of 600 psi. My hose burst when I closed my spray nozzle while washing my automobile. I was using the hose attached to my homes garden hose spigot. Household water pressure is approximately 35 psi. I am very disappointed.

I received this hose as a gift. I used it for the first time yesterday. It is supposed to be kink resistant. Not mine. I find that it kinks and if you get rid of one kink, it kinks somewhere else. Today, I had to get rid of five kinks before water finally came through. Not satisfied!

I purchased two of these hoses and both leaked around the underside of the connector. I returned them and exchanged for two more. These also leaked underneath the connector. These are not American made, they are assembled in USA and the parts are from overseas.

I am one for one buying once again. My first purchase of this 75' hose from Sam's Club was last year and the hose is great, it is lightweight and dependable and stores easily in a flower pot outside the garage door. However, my second purchase of this hose earlier this year was returned unused. I opened the box and as I was straightening the hose for use ran my hand over two wires which were sticking through the hose. I returned that hose to Sams Club with no problems but Sams did not have any more in stock. Hence, I still like the one I got last year so I am ordering this one and hopefully it doesn't have any wires sticking through it.

The first time, and each subsequent time, I have used this hose, it has leaked from the couplings at both ends. The video (which I cannot figure out how to attach to this review) is of the male end where I have it attached to a plastic cutoff valve to which I have my sprayer nozzle attached. As you can see, it is leaking where the hose crimp sleeve attaches to the hose coupling. It is also leaking between the metal sleeve and the hose itself. Additionally, it leaks where the threaded male end screws into the plastic cutoff valve, even though I have used silicone plumbing tape to try to seal the threads. I will try to secure (using a waterproof glue) the threaded male end into the plastic cutoff valve so that it does not leak there. I will also coat the metal sleeve of the coupling and the hose itself with a silicon adhesive, Flex Seal, or something like that and push the black rubber/plastic sleeve over the coated area to try to seal that area from leaking. I do this instead of returning the hose only because, other than the leaking, the hose is lightweight and easy to coil and store. I will follow up this review with the results of those attempts. Another thing, the packaging, and hose itself, are a bit deceptive. Someone looking at the hose through the little slit and box--with statements like "easy to wind up and store" and "lightweight performance hose" and such--and might think it is an expandable garden hose "which does do all of the work of a traditional hose, but shrinks down into lightweight, portable tubes for easy storage." Only on the back of the box--where it lists all the "positive attributes" of the hose--does it say, "Does not retract or expand." Additionally, where the "positive attributes" are listed, it says "Ergonomic... couplings" which is not true; the hex portion of the male end coupling is very narrow and I had to use pliers to hold it in order to tighten it as much as I could, despite which, it still leaked (see above). Finally, on the bottom of the box--where most people would not look--in very small print there are two noteworthy instructions: First "NOTE: Before using your hose, place the washer firmly inside the coupling. This will prevent leaking." and Second, a paragraph-long dissertation addressing previously critiqued aluminum / brass fusing problem.

Bought two of these in the spring of 2021. Loved the size. Loved how lightweight it was. Worked great for 1 summer. In April the following year, the connector of one of the hoses completely separated. There was no fixing it. The second soon followed in August. Didn't even get a full year of performance from either hose. Terrible quality! Not at all thrilled with the purchase.

I bought three of these hoses. Returned 2, now will be returning last one. Theses leaked from day one at the end of hose connectors and got worse and worse over time. The last one I still owned just "blew off" the entire end of the hose. Not sure why these are still being sold with such poor quality control.

Bought this lightweight hose, hose end fitting leaked starting the 2nd week. I attempted to fix it by replacing the 1/2 inch hose end fitting. Plastic wouldn't work, brass wouldn't work, nothing would clamp down tight enough to stop any water from escaping. Just paid $40 for a non-usable hose
