I bought one of these in 50 foot length. After fighting kinky “wonder hoses” for years I have finally found an outstanding product. Look no further. This is the real deal. Extremely easy to handle, water on or off. Excellent pressure. NO KINKING… NO B.S.!
They tell you to stretch out the host first and hold for 1min BEFORE using as it encourages the reinforced latex tube to create expansion memory for optimal performance.
It leaked in a year. This is good for lawns that do not have to go through bushes. Might be good for watering lawn with not much gardening. Retraction happens only when there are no obstacles, which doesn’t happen in a garden.
I currently have this. I used it probably between 10-20 times during spring and summer in the last two years and this year i started noticing more leaks in the hose. turns out the fabric is not durable - at all. it was an amazing hose, i love the nozzle and the off-valve. but i need something more durable for power washing and sprinklers. I may go back to rubber hoses...
Bought a 100 ft silver bullet hose. 1 - Does not expand to 100 feet and 2 - it takes a large amount of force necessary to take it even halfway. I can go to the end of my garden with my ordinary 100 ft hose. In order to get this halfway there, I had to put a constant pressure on the hose and REALLY pull it! I bought it because of a heart condition and I'm looking for easier ways to do my gardening and still enjoy it. I CANNOT pull it that far for very long. 3 - The amount of water allowed through the hose is minimal. To even get it to stop trickling out of the connection, I had to put it on hard spray and even then I could only water by getting up close to my plants. Unhooking the hose showed that my water pressure was fine, it just would not come through the hose. 4 - It does not "expand" into a hose. At the price point I paid, I expect it to do "as advertised". It definitely does not and I want my money back. I'll take the time to roll my regular hose in and out and spend the extra on a wall-hung roller. Adding this review to as many sites as I can find. Tired of crappy misleading products.
I agree I purchased the silver bullet thinking it would work like it says but just like everything else that comes out now it’s gimmicky garbage it got a hole in it after about a week and it was awkward as hell to use just stick to the good ole fashioned hose
I have this same exact 100' expandable hose and love it. Ive had enough of buying the cheap so-called ranch hose kink resistant [big lie] worst kinking hose I ever had, trashed it. The expandable has the brass shutoff at the end of hose for changing adaptors when needed and you dont have to shut faucet off and release pressure first. Previously though I had added a quick connect at my faucet because of all the corrision causing me problems unscrewing from faucet . With the quick connect that problem is eliminated. Hopefully the expandable will last longer than expected, but at least no kinks and they give you the little hanger and I just put it over my faucet and the 100' hose becomes almost weight less when water is out of it. I needed the 100' length since I only have 1 outside faucet and I need the length to reach the garden area or/and car wash and other duties.
Funny he says it untangles its self as he's picking it up to help untangle it. Im seeing and hearing miss fed information here. I guess thats the world we live in. Thanks for the video tho and taking the time out to show us this hose.
I like my 25 ft one for my garden! I just ordered it but how it mounts to the wall was wonky, I guess bc we have stucco & cannot drill holes in it so it is hanging loose on the handle like yours..not the most secure but it works great otherwise..will have to figure a way to have it coil on the wall securely for aesthetic reasons
These are light duty hoses. They're great when you have a small task that you don't want to unwind/rewind a rubber or vinyl hose for. With care they should last a few years. No guarantee on that, though.
I have this, when I want to water the lawn with it, the water is off so it's at it's shortest. So, if I drag it out to the front yard it's at it's shortest & isn't long enough ... when I turn the water on it expands. At that point if I want to move the sprinkler I get soaking wet. I have 2 of them linked together. I guess the only solution is to buy more or them?
Try turning on the water and walking to the sprinkler, once there turn the valve located on the hose off and connect it to your sprinkler. You might have to be quick because it will start to shrink again.
I am having this same issue with my sprinkler grrrrr!!!!! Have you found any solutions for this? I'm thinking to return the hose because it's only 50ft expandable when attached to the sprayer head! Any other time, it doesn't even expand!
the connectors ARE NOT BRASS. The world BRASs does not occur in the description. they are anodized aluminum colored to appear brass and unless you use a damn good anti-seize on them they will weld themselves to all steel hose bibs. This is NOT research.
@@TeamResearchGroup Thank you so much for the quick reply. Yeah durability is a thing we are mindful of when it comes to pitfalls and misadventure of our backyard 😁 LOL. Might stick with our thick cumbersome hose until they can come up with something more puncture proof And durable. Maybe that would be a good idea for a video for your channel. Durability in these flexible hoses 🤔 is there any? 🤷🏻♂️
Look at the thumbnail...a complete rookie mistake. NEVER wrap an expandable hose that tightly around the holder. As it continues to shrink, it will damage the interior structure of the hose. Large, loose loops are the way to go. Learned this the hard way.
I'm shopping for a new hose and these new expandable hoses look very inconvenient. Is it true that every time you want to use it, you must let it expand to full length and then retract it again when you're done? That'd be a huge waste of time if you simply want to fill a water jug or spray plants close to where the hose begins. Is it viable to leave the expandable hose at full length with water in it so you can leave it on a reel caddy like a normal hose? Thanks.
They expand pretty quickly. Put a splitter in so you can fill a bucket separately. They are the best hose because they are light and compact. Downside is they will pop and leak within 2 years. So I buy the shortest size and link them together and keep my receipt when one of them breaks I exchange it.
You obviously didn't test it over time to see how long it takes to leak, so I clicked on the link to Amazon and read the reviews. This one start review is typical of what you'll find there: 1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't last. Went through 4 hoses and the all lasted just a couple of months. Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022 Size: 50FTStyle: Classical BlueVerified Purchase I started my journey with Gardguard in June 2021. Bought 2 hoses. By August, one had sprung a leak. They sent a replacement. All fine through fall, and I stored them for winter. Fast forward to spring 2022. BOTH hoses have leaks and both nozzles are also broken. One nozzle split in half when I tried to use it for the first time. Reached out to Gardguard, they said there is a 1 year warranty. I asked for a refund, since clearly this product isn't durable. They said no refund, but they finally sent me one replacement hose in June. We've had a pretty wet summer, so I haven't needed to use the hose as much. Over the weekend, the replacement hose is now unusable due to leaks and the nozzle is also severely leaking. I reached out to Gardguard AGAIN, and they are telling me that I have exceeded the warranty period. I have had this hose less than 2 months. Seriously, their communication says I have exceeded their 1 year warranty period! I really wanted to love this item and I did initially. It's just not durable and the company will not stand by its product. I will be reaching out to Amazon customer service to advise them about their seller.

I forgot to add that I happened to catch this hose on the day it went on sale at walmart for $35 had been at $50.
shoot i would run like hell if i see that curl in my backyard :D
Exactly. Very alarming look I absolutely hate!

Good to know👍
I bought this hose about 3 months ago. It just sprung a tiny hole. I don't have the receipt. Can this be fixed?
What's the name of it
if u want to attach a sprinkler attach a reg hose to flex hose first the attach sprinkler it doesnt spay hard but it does spray
Always get a hose with a shutoff at the male end, especially with expandable hoses.
What am I doing wrong? It won't spray the water. Once the hose fills with water and expands, it stops spraying through the nozzle?
Mine too. It won't come out of the sprinkler with any pressure.
l got one from amazon will use it today
Are the washers just extra ones or do they need to be put in the hose?
Can this water hose be joined with another water hose to make it longer?
my 100 foot one from menards quits after 2 minutes. thinking the opening or fitting is too small.
Only problem, if a snakes hides in between the hose we can't see it
Who makes it?
I want to get one like this how can i get???pliiiiis help
Here’s a link to purchase amzn.to/3U1Vwbd
Is this from temu?

This is NOT research.
Are the fittings solid brass?
This hose gonna bring male snakes to the yard.
I agree, pretty colors, but it does look like a snake, lol
After a year of you having this hose do you still like it and did it last. We got one along time ago but not this brand and it blew a hole
You are right I did get a hole. The company gave me a new one. It’s probably because of the way I was dragging it as well

@@TeamResearchGroup OR because you were also tousing it on the concrete as on the video :)
The first one that came out color green was a pos. I am reluctant to purchase one.

can be stored outside?
If the temp falls below freezing, it ruins them completely.
How long it lasts is what really counts. These hoses are not made to last. If they were made to last. These companies would be out of business
At 89 bucks keep dreaming, these expandable hoses have a history of NOT LASTING LONG AND LEAKING
All of mine broke, leaking at the spigot. Terrible.
I received one for a gift used it a few times .Last time both ends have blown off and I can't figure how to get them back on anyone have an idea
Just do a Walmart exchange. If no receipt buy a new one and use that and return the garbage back for money back.
@@charleysturbos7320
lmao, forgot that this works
Had mine 2 years just started to leak
reviews the best garden hose, can get a tripod :-)
only last me 2 summers repaired it 3 times in 2 weeks garbage really enjoyed it the frist 2 years but doesnt last
I don't see 100' of hose!
