I was getting ready to order one of these hoses and then I read the reviews on it. Have you done anything to improve this hose?

We ordered two of these hoses and to return them both. They did not work. They both leaked and the water frozr .

used it as it came. I did have to use an extension cord to reach my electric outlet, which the hose says you can't do, and it worked fine. Updated Feb 20, the first hose froze up at 13 above zero, and our pipe froze since the faucet was still on and the ice expanded. When it thawed, the pipe was cracked. Expensive repair. However, the company sent me another hose free of charge since there is a one year warantee and we have had better luck with the second hose (so far).

Sounds like the hose isn't securely fastened into the slot. Make sure you turn it, and it sort of 'clicks' into place. Otherwise, I would guess a defective product?

Based n the manual, the hose is supposed to have the electrical connection. But the first one I received did not. I exchanged for another one. Same problem. I believe the batch of inventory Amazon had at the time had the wrong hose included. That was 6 months ago. So hopefully, the current inventory doesnt have the problem. I returned my 2nd one but had not tried to reorder since 6 months ago.

If you look at my review you can see that you are not sure what you are getting. I wouldn't recommend it. I got a rubber hose from Gemplers. Item No: 221806

i just got this hose because it was the highest customer satisfaction rating. so far, it has been great. I have yet to have it over the winter, but when it gets here, i will most likely store it in a bin. maybe the cold weather cracks the inner tubing. I did have the pocket hose, and it did burst, but not crack. I am thorough satisfied with this hose thus far.thank you

no, some will work but most won't. it is a very leaky hose. I love the concept and wish there would improve it. I love the way it shrinks up. I agree with the other two reviews. But for me it's a " love / hate " thing.

Yes I had the same problem, I returned the hose. I have not found an alternative yet.

I had the problem with the hose not fitting my unit. I returned it with in the return period, I believe it was within 30days of order date. They refunded my money no problem. But be aware that you will have to pay to ship it back which is not cheap (cost me $60 from WSH).

I guess you mean the pressure hose. Try Home Depot. I got one there - a stronger one. Make sure the connectors are identical. The original one lasted for one usage. Piotr

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.

The fittings on the hose we ordered were all stainless. That's why we ordered it since the plastic fittings on previous hoses kept cracking.

I would suggest that right away you go out and buy a decent hose with a good clamp to attach it. Also, the hose is too short. Other than that, the unit is nice.

It seems to be a strong hose but I honestly don't know if it would hold up better than the others or not. Although it seems durable, it is nothing special, in my opinion. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Yup. Same thing here. They are just stock hoses. They are always terrible though. Invest in some good nommar ones

I'm having the same problem . Don't know why . Just bought last year. Not happy with product, seems like the hose isn't long enough. Tried with regular vacuum hose and it worked a lot better but not great . Found it easier to just do it the old fashion way.

I would be hesitant to do that. This hose has been upgraded to stronger fittings than the first ones that were marketed, but I think the pressure would be too much for even the new one. Would be a handy use for it, though, if you had to store it ready for a pump failure! Why not get one anyway and call it expendable if it fails! They are not expensive, and it might be sturdy enough! It is a hose of quite small diameter, and that might be another problem.
