HOZELOCK - Superhoze Expanding Hose 30 m : Flexible Hose, Stretches up to 3x Original Length | With 2 Aquastop Fittings for a Watertight Connection: Ready to Use [8230A1240]

The idea and function is brilliant but unfortunately the life span has been very disappointing have returned numerous now for replacement have persisted due to the when operating it being so helpful in weight, movement around garden and ease of eventual back to simple storage also a favourite of my wife with her speciality car maintenance not used this one to date still using one of my previous purchase normally run with one front and one back garden another easy feature advantage bought this one again with a new supplier through Amazon who make replacements so much easier in the past and hoping this supply will be a redesign for the old problem of inner tube bursting Have made contacts with Hozelock hoping they could review but no response to date

Extremely good. But put away in Winter to avoid rubber inner cracking.

I purchased this following reading a best buy review from Gardeners World magazine . The hose itself seems to be well made and solid. My problem is using attachments. The hose is provided with a simple nozzle which allows to to set full force to a fine spray. However it is not possible to change the flow rate. Even on the gentlest spray this damages fragile plants - even with the tap at lowest flow rates. I have accumulated several guns and nozzles over the years which all worked with my previous hose. I have tried all of these and none stay attached to the hose for more than a few seconds before being ejected . I have had to purchase a hoselock gun which does have a flow rate setting to finally solve my problems

This hose is very poor, it's the second one I've had from Hozelock, the first one lasted one season before springing a leak but I thought it was just bad luck. This one disintegrated within 3 months and started spraying water from the seams then completely failed to function. It was under guarantee and am getting a full refund. Local garden centre told me they get a lot of these brought back for the same reason.I will not purchase this type of hose again as they aren't at all robust and I don't recommend

This is a great item. Because it is essentially stretch-fit and self-inflating (under the water pressure as it fills) it is easy to deploy, comparatively trivial to gather and put away and doesn't kink. It is now over a couple of years since I bought this and can also happily report no durability issues either - if it were ever to fail I would definitely be buying another as a like-for-like replacement. So much less effort than conventional hoses.

Fantastic product

Love this hose. Light weight, and easy to use. So far it’s sturdy. Much easier to use than my standard hose, but I am being much more careful as it’s clearly more vulnerable if used harshly. But I am more inclined to use it as it’s less hassle to get out and get going. So far I’m pleased with it. We will see it it’s durable.

The inner hose burst on first use. Whilst washing the car it got caught on the tyre and just snapped. The hose is unrepairable as the ends are machine crimped on so can't just be shortened and reattached to the hozelock connector. This is the second hose I've had, first one lasted about a year. They are only really suitable for light duty watering where hose is kept is a straight-line. They also rely on water pressure to expand them and I've found if nozzle is fully open they shrink back so best to order longer than you think you'll need.
