Just as an update to this video, it appears as if GrowGreen has stopped selling these or gone out of business altogether. Additionally, according to the BBB, they are NOT honoring their lifetime warranty claims. Needless to say, I'll be searching for other choices.
I've wasted an hour just today looking at hoses and reviews on Amazon. They all bubble and burst just over 30 days . It's why I searched here ans was going to click the link for the grow green. Even google found it no where to be seen. So frustrating and expensive if you have to replace it after 30 days use with no refunds from Amazon
I really appreciate your review. How long did you test the hoses for ? Many reviewers on Amazon say things like “I loved the hose until it leaked 3 months after purchasing it” Some sort of test for durability would be helpful.
Before I made the video, I only tested them for a few weeks but I've been using all of them for a year now. None of them have broken yet! Of course, since I have so many they don't all get used that much. 😂
@@MomCanFixIt Thank you for replying ! Good to know that you continue to use all of them and how well they have held up - even as each individual one doesn’t get used much they still held up over time.
I have the x hose pro and have had it for about three years. I love it. It popped open in two places today. I wish it had lasted longer but the real test of these is when they’re going to break maybe you should keep using them and testing them and see which one last the longest, I’m in Florida, so the sun is extremely hard on the hose so it broke after three years I don’t know of a fabric hose that lasts longer than three years in hot Florida sun so this may be the best one??
Unbeknownst to me, my tenent had replaced my worn out standard garden hose with one similar to the above. I had just consumed some magic mushrooms and proceeded to water my Palms trees & Banana plants. Holy cowboy, what a trip that was watching this living, breathing, expanding garden hose do it's thing. I did not know if it was the shrooms, or the garden hose, but indeed it was both,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I think? On a side note, I am loving this thing. Lightweght & no kinks. Great vidio by the way, thanks from The West Coast, BC Canada.
To hell with these hoses, I literally had one that only lasted 1 day past 6 months, cannot return from Amazon, no communication detail with the manufacturer. Just use a regular hose and a hose reel to wrap it up easily...DONE
Thank you for all the work you did testing. As another commenter said, made me realize my current hose(s) are probably good enought. Saved me some $$$.
Yes, great review. It feels practical, objective and informative. Presenting a clear winner is a great bonus. I recently started looking at reviews of the GrowGreen hoses and I'm seeing mixed reviews. That was unexpected after watching your video. I also don't see the GrowGreen hoses included in many of the expandable hose reviews out there. That's give me some doubt about the hoses -- which is in conflict with how confident I felt about the GreenGrow hoses after watching your video. Question: Now that it's been about a year after your review video, do you still think the GreenGrow hoses are your first choice? Would you still highly recommend them?
I personally tried flexy hose. Only lasted two years. Just went to hook it up this year. The end blew out leaked water everywhere. Absolutely useless. The trash. 😢
2.3 gallons in 30 seconds works out to 4.6 gallons per minute (GPM). GPM is the standard unit of measure for flow. These hoses don't flow as well due to their rough interior surfaces, which also reduces water pressure.
I purchased the TBI PRO hose from Amazon. It lasted just under three years of use - watering the lawn and plants. It was stored inside during winter, and was drained after every use to relieve any water pressure. Nonetheless, it developed two holes about 12 inches from the outlet end. I wrote to the manufacturer, but received no response. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and found that the manufacturer has lots of complaints. I'll be looking for a replacement, but NOT from TBI PRO.
i bought a x hose one 100t mine lasted 3 months because i left it outside during winter when i went to turn it on all of the rubber tube inside just disintegrated total waste of money
Hello young lady,I am 74yrs old and regular hoses are very hard for me to lug around anymore long story. Unfortunately I have bought the Bulb head 100ft pocket hose. So far okay but haven't been using it much. Now for my question. After use it should be drained and put it in a flower pot etc. And keep it out of the sun etc. Oh,I forgot you should never try to stretch it so far that you have to PULL it so far that you could use it to hang a net on it for Volleyball!! I say no and my wife of 53yrs says yes!! Please break the tie. Thanks and GOD BLESS. Sorry for the verrrry long comment. 😍😁
Dear (oh, so young!) Mom, I watched several "expert" Home Imp. guys talk about these hoses... and didn't ever get much help or consensus! Yours was refreshingly straightforward. How Long are the hoses? (well, THAT's important !) Will their exterior fabric hold up? (duh!!!). How far do they "squirt" ??!! (well... yeah, I'd like to know that!!) So, Thank You for your report! I'm ordering your recommendation today! One Happy Boomer. (Update 1 mo. later): So far... this has been the Best Exp. hose...evvah !! I've been super careful handling it, not pulling hard on either hose end. But it stretches waay farther than I expected, does NOT kink, and I have the enjoyment of solid brass end fittings. Will be checking in again as needed. Note: whoEVER thot a Guy homeowner in his 7th decade would be soliciting the advice of a young Mom for around-the-house DIY stuff. Well. It's happened folks !! But, no.... I'm not Bragging about it to the Boys!!! Not crazy, you know. ; >
I bought a Grow Green hose last year and it now has a leak. There is no cement or rocks in the area where I am using it. I stored it in the garage over winter. It seems to have just randomly sprung a leak. I loved it for the one summer that I used it!
TYVM for a very thorough review! I clicked on this video to see if your review would include the Pocket Hose Copper Bullet, but even if it did not I still took away some great info on these expandable hoses.
Can I turn on/off the water at the hose end rather than the faucet on the wall? I tried one of the expandable hoses too, but that valve on the hose can only temporarily turn off the water, the water is still running inside. I asked because the faucet I have on my patio is really hard to reach, and I have to get down to the bottom of my raised plant bed and reach it.🥲
On some of them you can but you can't leave them like that because of the pressure in the hose. You have to let that pressure off or it's going to blow up eventually.

I love how when you click the links to the reviews, the actual user reviews are terrible.
My favorite part of this video was that I didn't have to watch the whole thing to find out which was best. I still watched it all anyway. Good Job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This has to be one of the best comparison video I've ever seen. Extremely thorough with real-life applications, fantastic b-roll, and a TLDR!
Glad it was helpful!
@@MomCanFixItI agree, very helpful except the company no longer exists. Replacing hoses just after 30 days is getting expensive

The black and orange hose looked like a giant snake!
Good to know that these are not suitable for power wash and don’t last long as compared to standard hoses.

Ha, you win best comment of the week. LOL Glad you're enjoying your new hose!

Great review - very thorough and informative, yet concise
Thank you for making this video. Now I am cleared what I need as per my requirement.
Glad it was helpful!
X hose pro outer covering is made of fabric. It can hooks on cemented sidewalks. It produces snags. As of now, it worth 45.45 USD.
Thank you for all the work you did testing. As another commenter said, made me realize my current hose(s) are probably good enought. Saved me some $$$.
Since you posted this video this hose has gone up 66% and is now more expensive that better hoses

Excellent review, very thorough and not to chatty
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Can the vocal fry. It's really annoying.
You didn't give the hose length when contracted. That's pretty much the number one reason one would purchase and expandable hose.
Not spending $50 bucks for an expandable hose Dreaming!!! 😅
Well done review, very helpful.
I personally tried flexy hose. Only lasted two years. Just went to hook it up this year. The end blew out leaked water everywhere. Absolutely useless. The trash. 😢

cant find grow green anymore.
Amazon Links are dead! Please modify this post. 🥺. Oh and the winning hose went up to $30 at HD, lol
Thanks for all your hard work! This is really helpful 👏🏽
What a great, informative and heartwarming comparison video! You are also vibrant and lovely to watch and listen to. Thank you for posting.
I was about to give up on flexible hoses due to two of mine breaking at the ends. I’ll probably try one of your top 2. Thank you for posting.
Bummer. Neither first or second place hoses links work on Amazon.
I thought x hose pro was good but no way! Got 2 lengths and i used them only 3 times and then totally failed!!!
i bought a x hose one 100t mine lasted 3 months because i left it outside during winter when i went to turn it on all of the rubber tube inside just disintegrated total waste of money
The best one. Is the one that I was going to buy and didn’t bother. They are all junk.
I placed my order for grow green i hope i like it my first time getting an expandable hose
Excellent test and review, thanks
Absolute BEST is the ZERO-G by Teknor Apex. I have gone through most of the others and found this one five years ago. LOVE IT and own two of them.
Thanks for sharing!
You lost me when you said you get a commision
Excellent review. Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad I could help!

Hi Larry. If you have been married 53 years, I bet you know the answer to the question. The answer is that your wife is always right. 😁
Thank you for the review with so much information. I realize a standard hose will serve my needs much better.
Solid review full of relevant INFO.
THANK YOU for your thorough reviews! SO appreciate the time you took and your honest feedback!
Glad it was helpful!
Just another advert.
Muchas gracias.
Me agrado tu reseña.
De nada!
Great video thanks.
We all love flexi hose

Thank you very much 👏
Looked forward to seeing this. My take they all suck
Haha, yeah, that's not totally wrong. I'm still using the ones from this video a couple summers later though.
Excellent review! Thank you for doing all the hard work in this review, it's very much appreciated! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Is it 25ft before water enters, or after?
Great review, thanks!

How is the fabric on the grow green hose?
I bought a Grow Green hose last year and it now has a leak. There is no cement or rocks in the area where I am using it. I stored it in the garage over winter. It seems to have just randomly sprung a leak. I loved it for the one summer that I used it!
Yeah, they're all pretty fragile!
@@MomCanFixIt I contacted the company and they are replacing it 🤷♀️. I will get one more summer’s use out of one!😆
Me and my wife love ur reviews thank u.
Glad you like them! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you so much for your research, it really helped!🙂
Glad it helped!
Which one was the easiest to recoil and store away???
They all shrink up pretty small and are easy to store. Putting it in a basket or flower pot is easy.
Well done!
Thanks!
Good to know.
Glad I could help!
Now this is a real good review thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Super helpful!

On some of them you can but you can't leave them like that because of the pressure in the hose. You have to let that pressure off or it's going to blow up eventually.
