Bought two of these, the first one blew the end off where you screw it onto your spigot and the other I only use sparingly. They are no better than the initial hoses, just cost more and are defective in a different area. Absolute crap. Here’s an idea, make an xhose pro repair kit for your crappy hoses and we wouldn’t care as much. Basically, save your money and don’t bother with these products whether it’s the x-hose or other similar products. I guess they are making so much money selling them that they don’t have to worry about replacing the defective ones. A water timer is a perfect device to control and automate your irrigation needs. Connect to a tap and set your watering schedule and it’s done. Use it with your garden sprinkler to keep your garden looking fresh and wonderful even when you’re away from home. Our experts have trialled and reviewed hundreds of garden tools and to see which hose spray guns fared the best, we tested a range of guns across a range of situations in the garden.

You can buy a spray gun for as little as a couple of pounds, but if you want the gun to last for longer than one season and for a range of spray patterns or to adjust the volume of water precisely, you need to spend more. Also doesn’t seem to be an easy or customer friendly way to handle this problem…..shame on these people. I was excited getting this home and wanting so desperately to try it out, little did I know my garden would be getting no water on that fateful night… Turns out there was a tear or some sort of mis-manufacture in the blue material along the length of the hose leaving a gap. Whatever is inside (rubber I think) tried to escape via the hole with water in it and simply exploded. Brian, I can’t speak to the limits of the hose, but your water pressure is going to cause you problems with toilet valves, faucet seals, washer hoses, etc. My first indication that mine was high was the pop-off on the water heater triggering. I installed a P ressure R educing V alve on the main coming in and took it to 60 from 100. No more burst hoses, water heater issues, frequent toilet valve replacements, etc. The noise of the running water when showers and sinks were on was greatly reduced also. Thank goodness a clothes washer hose didn’t burst while we were away!

They are garbage. The claim that they are “Built to last” is just not true. Unless you mean they will last 3 months, then pop Next thing you know, theres this bulge appearing from the hose length about two thirds of the way down and it pops and water starts shooting out. it’s reinforced high grade drag resistant DAC-5™ polyester outer layer is specially woven to make it tougher and stronger than ever! Even if the regular hoses were to break, they are much easier to repair and much cheaper than paying any S/H to replace them.

The water immediately started pouring out of the section between where the hose pipe joins the connector that is then attached to your tap, so much so that the pressure of water was not enough to fill the hose let alone get water to the spray gun head. Problems with the product; they do exist. There is a design flaw with the new Xhose Pro. It can be repaired but it requires a bit of time (15 minutes) and some patience. Maintenance issues are occurring at the outflow end because that is the part getting twisted and turned in normal use. The failure is the junction of the rubber hose and the brass fitting. The brass is sharp and the rubber is soft. The rubber will eventually be cut. This is when, not if. (if the gentleman who helps me maintain the yard handles your hose, this could be just a few hours). This is a design flaw. However, not to worry. The clue that your hose is damaged; turn on the water, tighten the valve built into the brass fitting at the end. If water is squirting over you and the ground, there is a tear in the internal rubber tubing inside the Xhose. This time the hose decided to do something different, the connector worked and water started flowing through (yes!) but after a few seconds, the hose started expanding strangely. Eco considerations. Assessed the hose spray gun according to any eco plus points, including how leak proof it was, could you control the water pressure, did it have an aerated flow, was it made from any recycled materials and would it last. I took the hoses outside and put them to the test. Both hoses performed flawlessly. With a nozzle attached the water pressure was good. Maybe not as good as a regular hose, but the stream coming out reached maybe 80% of the distance of a regular hose with the same nozzle. The valves are a nice touch and make switching nozzles or attaching/removing a second hose really easy. I like that the hose drains itself of water as it contracts. The weight of an empty hose is extremely light; maybe about 2 pounds. Storing a single 75′ hose takes about the space of a 10″x12″x6″ bag.I believe if you have any product in the world, present it well and rabbit on about it enough for 30 minutes and show off all the pros and how it works then unfortunately some gullible people will buy it. I bought the hose a few months ago after seeing it advertised on TV. Delivery took about 6 weeks. I used it for a couple of weeks according to the instructions and then it sprang a leak. Four weeks later about two feet of the seam leaked rendering it useless. This is a lousy product. Don’t believe the hype.
