We have tried several different versions of the Pocket Hoses including the new, improved black ones with the brass Fittings. The newer ones are much improved nut still are junk! They WILL blow up! Last one lasted three years! That was a record for us. I love the way they work before they blow up. Bed Bath and Beyond no longer stands behind them as they used to! I’m finally done with them!
I inherited one with the home I bought. A 50' model. It works fine. Not sure how old it was when I bought it but had it for about 7 months now (including the winter where it got no use). Again, so far fine. No leaks, no kinking, no bubbling. I ordered two more before reading these reviews and am now worried. But the one I have is fine.
I've had one at my house for over 2 years. Because we're in a warm climate It stays outside in the sun year round. It has never leaked and we think it's great. I'm not sure why we've had such a different experience from other people on this thread but I'm here to give it a good review!!
thank you all!! with ALL these fantastic & wonderful reviews I have read everywhere I never let my lovely one expand. again, thank you all! (Yes, buy thee explodable hose, it can explode within seconds of use, act now & if you call within the next 15 minutes)
I bought three expandable hoses of different brands. I have a well, so water pressure was lacking with the expandable hoses compared to my rubber hoses. If I connected a rubber hose to the valve first and the expandable hose to the rubber hose; the water pressure was better. All hoses sprung leaks after a year as I would leave them charged with water between uses. My advice is; do not leave water pressure in them for long periods of time between uses.
Just bought one of the 100ft model Hose Pros with a 90 day warranty from Home Depot. 100 days later it started to leak near the nozzle. There are no repair kits for these things so now I am trying to figure out how to fix it. I would never buy one of these again. I am probably going to be out $89.
I've actually been meaning to make this comment I bought one at a garage sale for $0.25 and use it on my rain barrel and works just fine as long as you don't put any pressure behind it
ok so an update on this the first one was left on over night and woke up to it leaking in 3 places. so i returned it and the new one leaked right out of the box. so i take all the praise back these things are a great idea but are not meant to last. dont buy this!!!
that's interesting how would you hook it up directly to the faucet what difference would that have made the hose did everything It was supposed to do and if you read the description it says the hoses junk so thanks for watching every view help support my channel
man that sux i love the hose when it is working as its supposed to. i made sure that i kept my receipt and ive returned it about 5 times this summer they hate me by know lol
Just bought two. Seems okay at first but after using it for two weeks both hoses sprung leaks. Not good. Cheaply made . Lesson learned, read reviews first. Hard to return.
Well I made the video and the hose did work as advertised until I uploaded the video and it blew up on me. So sorry about that I tried to remedy it in title
Either you speak incredibly quietly or my hearing is going bad. Almost pillow talk level. :) Cool hose by the way, thanks for the review. I always wondered. You should include clips of the hose in action so we can see how it doesn't kink. The advertiser already told us it didn't.
Hi Michael. Yes they both have shut off valves. They are pure black 50 ft. They have the brass connectors. I live in a senior park. Yes they do spray without the nozzle. But I need the nozzle to shoot the water further. We only have one hose bib on the house. I want to use my fire nozzle that really does the job. My finger spraying it with just the hose, does nothing.
terrible hose, i had 2 of them , it didnt leak from the connector , it leaked in differnt parts of the hose itself , and it was hell trying to get the warrantry honored
no products can be used for ever , I think, every products has cost, every products has using time. BUT except you want to buy lower quality HOSE , then think all hose is bad, I did not agree on this.

Not brass mate, it is infused copper

We've had our pocket hose 25' for about a year, just over and no problem.
Well everybody is entitled to their opinion my opinion is if I spend $35-$40 on something I think it should last more than a week or two
yup ive had my normal cheap hose for almost 5 years and it cost about $30

I did show it not kink at the end but these hoses are junk the next day it busted down the middle

I’ve had my pocket hose bullet for a yearIt still works

Bought it for 20 bucks ... never had an issue I must be special 😂

Bought one and it leaked bad within 10 mins of use. Buy the normal hoses!
yes Keith I was recording on my old phone so it is kind of quiet
I bought the Gorilla hose, thing sucked. blew out after about 15 uses.
Thanks for saving me 30 bucks!
+hokanut no problem!
man that sux i love the hose when it is working as its supposed to. i made sure that i kept my receipt and ive returned it about 5 times this summer they hate me by know lol
Apparently the "Revolutionary DURA-RIB Inner Tube is susceptible to the pesky rose Bush thorns. Any suggestions on how to repair?
+pegga jordan sorry I returned mine to the store I bought it from and it worked

Last words in video...." all in all good hose. I'd recommend it". What? That doesn't match the title.

wished I found this video before I bought mine
Either you speak incredibly quietly or my hearing is going bad. Almost pillow talk level. :) Cool hose by the way, thanks for the review. I always wondered. You should include clips of the hose in action so we can see how it doesn't kink. The advertiser already told us it didn't.
Keith Sensei English nope, they don’t kink! They explode after a short time. Improved over the earlier models but still junk!
Can you help us? When we connect two hoses together, an turn on the spray nozzle, we lose water pressure. Also the hoses start shrinking.
Bev DavidW do they have shut off valves? what about kinks or just low water pressure. try it with no nozzle at all that might help
Hi Michael. Yes they both have shut off valves. They are pure black 50 ft. They have the brass connectors. I live in a senior park. Yes they do spray without the nozzle. But I need the nozzle to shoot the water further. We only have one hose bib on the house. I want to use my fire nozzle that really does the job.

Bev DavidW well I would check the nozzle itself sounds odd. May be a bad deal on one of the ends also
terrible hose, i had 2 of them , it didnt leak from the connector , it leaked in differnt parts of the hose itself , and it was hell trying to get the warrantry honored
that's what I'm afraid of.
PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT
BE A MAN AND STICK WITH YOUR OLD FASHIONED HOSE
MINE IS 20 YRS OLD STILL GOES
By the way 3/4 [nch, all pipes and hoses are measured in the internal diameter. Having an outside measurment is pointless
So why did the header read do not buy?
About a week after I uploaded the video the hose totally blew out
I know right Jim people open their mouths before they even know the whole story
mine exploded. it can't handle any amount of pressure. junk.
everytime I bought this hose (3 times) it leaked. piece of shit
This hose it works good
But it doesn't last to long
Don't buy it
+Genaro Torres :because you have got cheaper rice and bad material, our factory can used this expandable hose for 2 years, never broken...
+Mandy Lesser well ive went through 3 before i just quit buying them. oh and three of them in a month btw..
no products can be used for ever , I think, every products has cost, every products has using time. BUT except you want to buy lower quality HOSE , then think all hose is bad, I did not agree on this.
Mine lasted only 2 days . Couldn't locate my receipt . Out $50.00 !
