Does this hose have a memory? One thing I like about rubber is that it doesn't hold a shape. How does this hose compare?

Previous answers are accurate. Very slight "memory" in cold weather (30 - 40 deg.) but once water is flowing it is gone. I have a 75 foot on a hose reel and it works great.

Don't know about anyone else, but I received two hoses and do far they are working well. Certainly don't expect any problems as the original reinforced rubber hoses lasted 15+ years ran were still working when I replaced them. Expect these to last longer but the washer will probably go before the hoses.

Plastic and rubber develop memory. Once it is rolled up, it takes some time before it will lie flat again. I have mine across a walkway so I wanted to be sure mine stayed flat. I left it for an entire day to flatten out.

I have been using that stuff for years on my old trucks and vans, I have never noticed degradation of rubber hoses.

It is a water hose and it came apart the first time I tried it. Also, I had another one and it does not have the pressure that the standard garden hose has. So it has limited use,but I can see it for motor homes or light watering of plants and flowers.

a very similar thing happened to me, I did not feel that it was worth the bother to send it back. we had ours for 3 days, and it burst. I cant give you an answer for them. I would not want another one. the first one was enough for me! I wonder if the technology on this type of hose is ready for the market.

i just checked and it seems possibly the very hose i bought may have a suit against it. we bought a 25 footer that does its job around the house, then bought a 75 footer which has worked so far. i love the light weight aspect. now, x-hose is advertising theirs as the authentic one with 3/4" diameter - that one i want to get next. x-hose for sure advertises they are durable. we will baby ours and i hope it lasts!

This is NOT a flex hose. I have never had a flex hose, but hear that they can have issues. This is just a good hose that doesn't get kinks in it very often. Hope this helps.

Yes it does but for some reason they did not make a rubber wood marr thing for it. Everyone at Dewaly said Oh sure they did. noe one could find it. I actualy made one out of a rubber tool dip. Reall good gun. Havent pulled the hoses out in quite a while. B

That hose is a piece of crap. I wouldn't take one of those again if someone give it to me. Save your money or spend it on a traditional hose. I went back to a traditional hose and will never look at one of these again. Good luck to you if you spend the money on one. If you dont believe me just look up all of the other comments about this hose you will see what im saying is right.

It does not come with hose. I haven't had a chance to install it yet so I'm not sure on the hoses. My guess would be it works with stock hoses.

To the best of my knowledge, the hose itself does not have a release button, however with some use it will ease up. I have carefully extended it to the max length a few times before use and it seems to be easier to extend. Note that you don't it to be too loose or it will not store as well. I agree that a spring load mechanism of some type to allow for easier retraction and extension would be a good innovation.

No it does not. But its one of the most practical and durable hose I've ever bought.

The hose is one of those chrome colored kinked hoses that is very flexible. I think it was a stiff out of the box but loosened up after hanging in the shower and being used a few times

the hose has a smooth plastic like skin, but coils much easier than the hard plastic hoses. I coil it like a garden hose an have no trouble. Steve
