Garden Hose

I bought a TheFitLife Flexible and Expandable Garden Hose after seeing the high rating on Amazon review. The shipping was fast, got it the next day I order. The hose is amazing. It is so light to carry and does not need a hose reel (actually a hose reel does not work for this). Connected the hose to a backyard faucet and it started to expand and moved like a snake. It worked really well. Unfortunately that was a defect in portion of the hose. It started to leak. I contacted the seller, and they replaced it right away.The hose is kind of delicate. If you want it to last a long time, here are some tips from the seller:1) Keep your hose away from thorny plants or sharp edges2) Please do not step on the hose whilst it is in use to avoid any breakage of the lining inside the tube3) Completely drain water from hose when not in use.4) After use, please store the hose in a bucket under shade or a cover.5) Keep it away from extreme heat or cold.

This is at least the 3rd one I've bought: 1 for the front & 1 for the back. Had to replace the one in the back (I use it at least once daily); no problem with that. Texas has had some extreme temps - I now cover the hose with a sun resistant sheet; should last longer. But I have to say the included nozzle (TheFitLife) is not sturdy at all - it actually cracked on the side & the water just shot out. Thankfully, I kept the old nozzle (a year and a half and still going strong!) and put that on to continue with the task. It seems to be a cheap plastic nozzle - not fond of it at all. And it's kind of a shame, decent price on the hose & then a cheap nozzle that cracked in colder (TEXAS) weather; not like it's truly cold. Or maybe it was a defect, not sure; and it doesn't matter. The hose is GREAT - the plastic nozzle sucks.

I am very impressed how compact this hose is. I purchased a 75' length. When not in use it bundles up easily and takes up very little space, to about a 1/3 of the expanded length. It's super light and is definitely much easier to handle than a typical hose which has to be wound up carefully to avoid tangling and kinking...not to mention would be much heaving and bulkier. When using it, the hose expands dramatically and won't tangle. So far with a few weeks of use...the exterior covering seems pretty durable, but based on other reviews and manufacturer info, I will be careful not to snag on rough or sharp surfaces. Because I have not owned the hose very long, I've not rated it for durability yet. The fittings are made of quality brass and (so far) don't leak. The included sprayer has a sufficient variety of settings for any conceivable job.A word of caution...you will see some dip in usable water pressure with this hose. Because of its expandable construction, some water pressure is lost during use. But I'm intending to only use this for car washing and occasional watering in the garden. When I need a hose for power washing, I'll stick with a traditional setup to avoid supply pressure issues. If you have sub-standard or especially low water pressure at your hose bibs, this is probably not a good purchase. Otherwise you'll be fine.Four stars (versus five) only because I have not owned or used the hose longer than a few weeks. But, after longer use, if it holds up as well as it has thus far it would be a five-star product from my perspective.

I love this hose, it’s easy to move around, not messy looking, love the off/on valve…but they do not last, I’m in Georgia so I can use my hose all yr long but it doesn’t last all yr long, not sure if your supposed to buy 2 every yr but this is a bummer…I’ve only had this one since March2022 and it’s leaking in the hose not far from the valve…and this is my 2nd one, the other started leaking also and it was trash, you can’t repair them..and it stays on my porch on jet, to blast a squirrel off the bird feeder…I will have to try a different brand this time, I shouldn’t have to buy 2 per yr..

I bought 4 of these hoses in 2 different lengths. The 4th one finally bit the dust last night, and it was as spectacular as the other 3 failures!The 4th one had been in use less then 2 months (but it lasted the longest out of all 4!!), and was only used in one small area so there was not a lot of tugging, being pinched or caught on corners or other items - so it saw a lot more calm use then the others.I would not recommend these hoses at all, unless your only requirement is wanting something that is very lightweight and you do not care if you have to constantly replace it. While I dislike the idea of going back to the tried and true hoses of past (heavy duty, kinking and difficult to maneuver), I can't afford the cost of replacing one of these hoses every 4-6 weeks (we have 4 spigots, so that'd be at least $150 every 6 weeks based on the price I paid for each of the 4 from TheFitLife). I have reached out to the company, however, I have not gotten a response. I signed up for the extended warranty on the vendor's website, but there is no indication as to how long the original warranty is or how long that warranty is extended to.In short, these hoses are not worth the $$ or challenges they create when the hose bursts while you are using it, and not only can't finish what you were doing but you also end up soaked. If you are handy and don't mind repairing them, you can get a few repairs in before it totally self-destructs. If you would rather not have to worry about when the hose will die, and have something that is fairly reliable, then go with a different type of hose.

I don't know why I buy these hoses, as they don't hold up very long. Maybe I should read the operator's instructions. Most tend to spring a leak along the hose. Some leak near the hookup. I've had this hose for several months now, and so far, so good. It fills quickly and reduces in size as advertised. Am happy so far.

Bought this hose in spring 2020. Worked really good until the inner hose broke in half today 2years later and water is now gushing everywhere but the hose nozzle. I made sure that we never over stretched it in anyway, we always coil it back up after use, and stored it in the winter season to help make it last longer. But for close to $50 it should last longer. Nice hose, but don't expect it to last longer than 2yrs.

excellent product.

Buon prodotto, la raccorderia in ottone è garanzia di durata; leggero e si restringe bene una volta chiusa l'acqua. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.
