How does this hose perform under constant pressure for extended periods of time?

I have used mine constantly for a couple years in southern California; it was my favorite hose so I bought two more a few months ago and love them too. They have never swollen or leaked. If by constant pressure you mean having the water on but the end you would attach a sprayer to shut down, I try not to do that but forget sometimes and did not have a problem.

The hose is great. I had to buy it because I needed a smaller diameter hose for an auto retractable hose hanger. Fits perfect and performs wonderfully so far. Used all summer

Re: handle/hose--not that I've ever noticed (I've had this model for about a year, I think). And it's very stable-- no tipping at all

Hello yackjack. I have owned one of these hoses for approximately 1 year and it is used 3-5 times a week. No issues at all as it never kinks and when I sometimes end up stepping on it there is no effect to the hose. I bought the 50 foot long in red and I have been happy with my purchase. I keep the hose in a roll-up storage box here on Guam so I can't say if the color will fade or how rapidly if left exposed or if leaving it in the sun somehow effects longevity or integrity. I liked the hose so much I sent one to parents.

My orange plastic fittings hose has never had a problem, and I would buy another one if it could withstand the water pressure on the front of my house - about 75 psi. On the back it is not a problem since it has come through the pressure regulator that reduces the pressure to 55 psi. I don't need to use the included shut-off valve.As for drinking from a hose - when I was a kid, 60 years ago, I never had a problem after drinking from a hose when I was cooling off while working outside. Now that hoses (and a myriad of products) are made in China, we have to be alert since they have exported many products with poisons that harm us, our children and our pets.

I bought this hose last summer and so far have not had a problem. However, I don't use my hose too often and after seeing other responses, I am concerned. I also paid $50.00 for my hose and I like it because it never kinked. The company should have replied to your complaint and this makes me feel that this is not a good product.

Most high pressure hoses are stiff and well built to handle the job they are designed for. This one is no different. It does coil up nicely when finished with the task. Might not be as small a coil as you'd like, but it's ok. Consider using cord/hose wraps to hold the stored coil to the size you'd like.

I have never measured the pressure that is put out on my power washer, but have not had any problems with the hose. The hose does not give me a problem with the pressure as my washer does not go that high. I bought it for the length and the durability. It has performed very well. I have about 1/3 of the hose wrapped with velcro and when I need more I can use the excess. Good product. I purchased quick disconnect fittings for the hose and they are very handy.

I bought two of the hoses last year, I have not bought one this year. We are completely satisfied with the hoses. We haven't experienced any issues with the hoses whatsoever. At this point in time, we would probably buy this hose again, in lieu of any other hose. We like them.

I have found the hose to be plenty long- to reach the corners of my ceiling with the attachment brushes and extension wand. Not sure how the length compares to larger, heavier models, but for this lighter weight model I feel like the designers made the hose plenty long. I don't want to haul around an extra long hose as I mainly use the vac for carpets / 98% of the time I don't use the hose.

I bought several of these hoses. One is from 3 years ago and still like new. I am in MA and we have a really big jumps on weather patterns.

I've had this unit for over a year, and while the hose does get warm, it seems to cause no problems. The unit works very well for us.

Flexible - never run into a problem where it wasn't flexible enough. Seems similar to other hoses as best I recall.

I cannot speak to how these hoses were, I can say that we have had 3 for about 2 months and had no problems with them.

I've had the hose little over 30 days. So far, no break or has it spring a leak. I don't know the answer for more than 6 or more months.

I own a auto detailing company and purchased this hose to use on a 3100 psi pressure washer, I have been using it for a couple of months with no problems. The diameter of this hose is small than the commercial hoses I usually use. I'm sure within a years time I will be replacing it as we pull our hoses across asphalt constantly and this slowly degrades the hose exterior shell.

I have 100 ft of hose on mine, although it has not been used long I have no problems of leaks or rust

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.
