I've read the reviews, but it's still not clear: Can you actually pull the hose, or only bend the coil? How far is the reach? Bottom of the sink?

You can't actually "pull" the hose. It is connected to the spring and can move around, but would be difficult (if even possible) to touch the bottom of the sink with it. It is a great faucet IMO.

No, it actually doesn't pull out and reach the bottom of the sink. It's a little bit of a pain to wash things out of the basin of the sink down the drain. But it's a beautiful lovely faucet. We like it other than that.

Bend the coil. Doesn't bend very far. Almost to the base of faucet. Works great for me.

hi, You can only bend the coil. Hose does not pull out. When you pull on coil, it measures about 8"Hope this helps

You can only bend the coil. The reach is about 6 inches, so it definitely does not get to the bottom of the sink.

It only bends and the hose does not pull out. It only reaches around the bottom of the faucet base, which is only few couple inches lower. It would be nice to have more hose, but really hasn't caused me any problems.

Only bend the coil. There's no way it would ever reach the bottom of the sink. It really just offers mobility to spray at various angles vs a true extension hose. Hope that helps.

It has a small amount of give. The hose cannot be pulled out any further. The reach is only a inch or two beyond where it hangs.

I don't know and didn't care. The hose was such a nuisance to handle, that I would rather use a conventional hose for most uses and a coil spring hose, for marine use, where storage and Potable water use (not poisoning the drinking water with carcinogens) matters.

It is a thin, extremely flexible hose that is very easy to manipulate. While I can't quantify how small one can wrap it up, I can say that it coils into a remarkably small circle. I am far more pleased with it than with old fashioned, stiff and bulky hoses -- and I think you will be pleased as well.

Without going outside to measure...not tall enough...I have a 100' hose wrapped around it and no matter how tight I try and make the coils, the hose still drags on the ground. Wish it were taller so the grass could be cut under it with the hose on...now we have to pick it up and move it to cut the grass growing under it. If there is no grass where you plan to put it, the hose will still drag (if its 100') on the ground...your call if that is acceptable for you. I'm replacing it, don't like it...going back to a wall hanger type.

The hose is definitely not 6' long! I was very upset when I received this- it was barely 3', and way to short to reach from our shower head to the tub where my son can reach it. I returned this. In regards to if it can attach to the sink; I am not sure, but I don't think so, because in the shower you remove your showerhead, attach the metal diverter piece, and then put the shower head back. You can then switch from having water come through the showerhead as usual, or through the hose extension. If you were to put this in your kitchen faucet, I think the water would just spurt out where the shower head would otherwise attach (does this make sense? A bit hard to explain...)

the only problem I have is how to drain the hose. I thought the hose would drain into the kitchen sink . but in stead I had to buy large buckets . I only do family & friends (free) so it is a sink . But I only do one person a time every couple of weeks . I have it down to one bucket per person . So when they leave I empty the bucket. I wish I had a better place for hose to drain.

Mindy, it is in my other home, but if I remember correctly the hose is 5'. It may be a bit awkward for your intended use. Perhaps a grab bar mounted would suit you better.

Is the drain hose hanging I've the sink high enough? (Once you get it working, consider buying a lint trap to zip tie around the end of the drain hose. You'll be surprised at how much lint collects. Not the best for general plumbing.) Good luck!!

No, it is not the diameter of a regular hose. Therefore the water is restricted some when it comes out of the hose. I use coil hoses in 4 areas at my house to water potted plants and gardens by hand. I like that the hose coils and becomes more compact...seems more attractive to me than a standard hose. I also like the lightness, that I am not dragging around a heavy hose.

The hose is not flexible so I don't think so. We have a large deep apron sink and have no issues but if you need the hose to reach the bottom of the sink it will not.

No! Can you believe it??? AND to make matters worse, everytime you want to use the hose you have to unfurl the entire cord and then release the hose. I find the design draw backs for this unit to be incomprehensible. What were the designers thinking???

The same thing happened to us. When I had a plumber here for other work, I asked him if he could try to get it off. No luck. I guess it's best not to leave it on your hose for too long or else it will become a permanent attachment.

I had this hose in a straight line. I think it would have kinked if I tried to turn circles with it. I also have a round soaker hose which I am able to circle around plants. I like it a bit better.

Quite well. Its solidly made and the hose containment area sides flair out allowing side pulls. It obviously gets harder as the angle increases. The unit can be mounted perpendicularly or horizontally with reference to your house so that might be a consideration when access the hose. I'm very happy with the product.

While the hose is long enough we don't use it. The connections between the hose and sink do not match and I have been to numerous plumbing supply houses, no one sells an adapter. Save your self money DONT BUY IT !!!!!

I hate to answer a question with more questions ....but how shape a curve and what is your water pressure? You have hit on one of the "problems" with this hose. A sharp curve can cut off the flow...especially at low pressure. It's meant to be flat and straight. If you have good water pressure, it will work if you put it on its "side" and use a gentle curve. I've even used it with a sharp curve but it doesn't do as well.

The whole head nozzle pulls down with the spring (one piece) - no retraction. Probably pulls down a good six inches, def. enough to get deep in my sink. However, this style of faucet doesn't get quite as deep as a more traditional pull out faucet, to be honest. If you want to actually be able to touch the bottom of your sink, this unit won't do that.
