Is this product Dap XHose Pro durable? The one that I bought from Wa-Mart(yellow in color another manufacturer) did not last a week. It burst in the middle of 50 ft yellow expandable hose (advertised on TV) that we bought. Very frustrating and it cost...

My suggestion to you is not to buy these expandable hoses that consist of the plastic fittings. I've experienced first hand that this hose is nothing but garbage and everyone that I know that purchased one had the same problem (leaks). Continue with the heavier but reliable hose until some company can produce a reliable flexible hose that will last for multiple years.

I have used this product numerous times. I have it mounted in an outside compartment in our motorhomes and use it as the water supply line. I can't fathom how under normal use that you could cause this hose to burst, unless you got a cut or abrasion on it. This is a good quality piece of equipment and I expect to get many years of use from it. Hope this helps Patrick.

Before I ordered my hose I saw name & email address for Kevin Beck @ Rumford Gardener in one of the reviews. I emailed him on 6/6/14 & he said hose had a 90 day warranty. Nothing in shipment or on Amazon indicates that. Hose blew up on 7/11, 4 days after return window closed. No answer at 800 # for seller, 800-234-1957. Hope this helps.

This is a poorly made hose. I bought 2 of them and they both burst open. I went back to the traditional rubber hose. You can get a refund.

Wow, mine is the same age and may have the same issue! The hose barb on mine developed a crack along the seam in the plastic. I found a new one online right here at Amazon: "Solo 4074654 Sprayer Hose Barb". Expensive for a little plastic part. I wrote to Solo about the issue, but never received a response. This one will be delivered today in fact...

I gave a couple of those hoses to my sister-in-law as a gift. The "nozzle" end blew off in her hand. By the time that I retrieved the hoses and tried to get my money refunded from Amazon, I was informed that the "refund" period had expired.

I can't remember. Was'nt interested in getting a replacement. there are a lot of other pocket hoses on the market that you can choose from. I got one of the first pocket hoses advertised on tv, and it still works fine.

I have the 50' GY, and it is a quality hose. I have also started using in the shop, the Kolbalt curled type hose, it is very flexible, even in cold weather, and has a Lifetime Warranty - under $15.00

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.

You're catching on, Ian. If you consider "long term use" as somewhat longer than 90 days, I have a pair that burst after two years. A "Warranty" isn't of any value and strictly limited to the replacement of the failed hoses within 90 days, not the thousands of dollars in damage their burst hose can cause. Read the warranty's small print that specifically denies any and all responsibility for "... "Incidental and Consequential Damages", unless your insurance company sues them, of course. Nice, eh?

From what I have read about the lack of durability with the flex hoseI would say yes, this is a better hose than the flex hose. As for shrinkingand expanding, no it does not do that. A flimsy hose isn't likely to last that long.

Sorry, I didn't check to see if there was any warranty. Mine also failed after the 3rd use. I threw it in the trash. We also have a similar 50' hose which has been fine thus far, but I treat it very carefully.

Yes I ordered it rather than the on tv expandable hose thinking it would be more durable. WRONG! Note I did not give the first answer I am not Priscilla I am Chuck Lytle and I only ordered one Hose.

I'm sorry Tom, I can't answer the questions you asked. I can tell you that after giving the hose a glowing review I've completely changed my mind. The hose blew a hole near the very end. It supposedly has a life time warranty so I contacted the manufacturer and they never replied. Do yourself a favor and buy a heavy duty hose that costs but lasts......~ c

I have had to return 3 -25' green expandable hoses. The Chinese quality control is missing. Get a dap hose

No way....and that is why it probably did not last....cheap construction. Water dripped from the connection to the hose and so Amazon sent me another, but that did the same thing. Not worth buying.

Perfect timing. Mine just developed a leak. I emailed their customer service about 2 weeks ago. They promptly replied requesting my receipt which was easy to look up on Amazon, and literally 4 days later a box was on my door step! Seriously, the most painless replacement I ever thought possible. I'm not buying another brand hose... EVER!
