Expandable Hose Review

I have never used an expandable hose and today they seem to be very popular since they are very convenient. I have always bought you regular garden hose from the hardware store and have gone through quite a bit over the years. In my experience when purchasing hoses I have noticed that the cheaper it cost to purchase the more you will be replacing it. However I do have two hose that are industrial/commercial grade that I have had for many years but they were also not cheap. 

So with this expandable hose I am a little skeptical on its durability and how long it will last. As you can see from the picture below the amount of space this takes up is very minimal. Anyone that has a hose knows how much a 100 ft hose can take up. So for storing this hose is great. 


I have only used it twice and so far it has done what its supposed to do. Im still skeptical on whether this will last all summer and if it does will it stand up to the cold months stored away in my garage. Over the years I have lost quite a few hoses because of the cold weather. They ended up falling apart when I brought them out in the spring months. They either cracked or blew out from the water pressure. 

So for my initial review of the expandable hose is that its a great hose.
  • Easy to use
  • Lightweight for transporting
  • Durable
  • Compact
  • Easy for storing away when not being used
Here are a few more photos. The photos are of the hose before being introduced with water. The other is after water was turned on. You can see the length had doubled in size.
