had 4 of these and every single one burst the hose, not at the connection, just split the hose. The last time it was the first use. Any good ones?

This is a very well made hose, with very good connectors, and I think it would be worth a try. I've never had any hose burst though. When our house was switched to higher incoming waterpressure, they installed a pressure regulator in the line, to allow one to turn down the incomingpressure. You might want to consider having a regulator installed.

This hose is the only item I have ever written a review for. It is a wonderful concept. We received four of the 50-ft hoses for Christmas. They, quite simply, do not last!!!! And we use them for watering plants only. The leaks that sprung were unfixable. Please read the reviews on this before ordering.

I have had some trouble like you described. I cured mine by shorting the hose. The directions give some hints along that line.

i have been through about 10 of these hoses, fortunately mendards refunds each one. this is the worst product i have ever used, i would like to punch that guy on tv that says he uses for construction. what a f*****g liar. i doubt the people on the commercials have yet to try this product once.

I've had five of seven either rupture or crack at the connection. Since I purchased mine elsewhere , that is not at Amazon......they have a very easy return process....I cannot get a refund without the sales slip. I plan to report the manufacturer to the Better Business bureau. I love the hose but it is so poorl made, that the advertising is fraudulent .Marjorie040@aol.com

I did not try. I have a large garden and stay very busy once it starts yielding. I have always gotten a long life out of garden hoses. My son-in-law tried to fix. He has one and was able to tighten the connection end of the hose. He was not successful with mine. I actually forgot about this hose since my father also tried to fix the hose.

I purchased 2 and returned both...they lasted about 4 days and then burst. Sorry, I would not purchase.

Found many listings for hose's on Amazons site. That said save yourself a problem and buy one made of metal not the plastic that these come with. I have had to replace 4 already over the last 3 years due to the connector breaking.

The only think you can do is throw it away! I had two hoses and they both leaked with in 4 uses. These hoses are garbage.

not this one, but the brass verssion is just as bad. It's not the fitting that's bad, It's the connection of the hose to tghe fitting that breaks all the time. some times within 20 minutes,

I went through3 of these already usually in less than 5 hrs running time.. I complained to company because hose would get holes from vibrating against anything wood ground etc. They did send me a new one. I split a garden hose and taped it over the pw hose then took pipe insulation and taped that over the hose. it is bulky but at least I was able to finish out a day of pressure washing..

I have personally owned 9 of these hoses, three original and 6 replacements that the company sent me to replace those which burst at the connectors. I love the hoses, they are lightweight, but until the company figures out how to make the material stronger, they will continue to have problems like this. I finally gave up and threw all 9 hoses into the trash and went back to a standard garden hose from the home center. By the way... I think most of these positive comments from reviewers are due to the fact that they review the hose before they own it long enough for it to burst. I loved my hoses for about 6 months, but then they all burst. Sorry.... just trying to help.

mine blew at the connection just as the cheap fabric flex hose.I only missed the return time by one week.For fifty five dollars I feel like Iwas totally ripped off.This is not characteristic of amazon.

We've had two, and both had leaks in the hose near the connectors within a month or two. We really liked the hose when it worked, but it just doesn't last.

This hose may have changed since I bought mine years ago. It burst after 45 days of use and the company refused help since they only honor a 30 day warrantee. Knowing that, I would send it back immediately for a full refund.

Shark has them BUT I called them yesterday on the same issue. There are sending me another hose. Maybe they have had problems with the hose. Mine came apart from the connector piece. If your issue is the same go on the website and get the phone number for parts.
