Flex hose review Richard I bought 3 flex garden hoses and within 3 months, the three had broken hoses either detachment of the hose or leaking of the hose. could you tell me if you had a similar experience with Flex Garden hose? I wrote the company...

Of the two green hoses (50') one of them blistered and burst the second or third time I used it. The second hose developed a pinhole leak within the first week. The two blue hoses (25') lasted a few months before they developed a number of leaks (each) and could no longer be used.

We have bought 3 50' pockethose (neon green). The first one lasted for a while and we liked it so we added two more. We liked the light-weight feature a lot. The hose gets quite dirty quickly, but that did not bother us that much. When the first one went, the outside fabric rended enough to show the clear plastic inner part that holds the water. It had a hole and we could not find a way to repair it. The second hose blew a hole before it even got dirty and got my wife very wet. Seeing so many similar reviews we are not alone with this result. We called customer service, but without a receipt they don't even try to be nice.I'll add this to the many items "As Seen On TV" that I will never buy again!

Have owned our for about 3 months, so far, so good. We have the red one and hang it in our garage. It's a little cumbersome to take out and put back but it has never kinked.It's been almost a year now but I just experienced what others have written about. Hose popped out from one end, no way to re-attach it. Will contact the company and see what they do.

They keep trying to convince us now they are better. the brass fittings are an improvement but it was the hose that blew open not at the fitting. Another one in the waste barrel. As long as you realize you are buying a short term product and it probably will fail it can be a helpful tool.

That hose is a piece of crap. I wouldn't take one of those again if someone give it to me. Save your money or spend it on a traditional hose. I went back to a traditional hose and will never look at one of these again. Good luck to you if you spend the money on one. If you dont believe me just look up all of the other comments about this hose you will see what im saying is right.

Due to the flexibility of the hose, I doubt if they can ever be repaired. It is an inferior product. I, too, purchased two from Walmart while traveling in our motor home; both broke at their initial use. It's really a very inferior product. I noticed Walmart took them off their shelves at my local store, so the word must be out!

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

I ordered 3 X-hose pro in July. Did not receive until mid-Sept. Used first one today, following instructions exactly and it blew apart. I now have a hose with a two foot shredded split seam. I had already experienced leaks and bursts with the yellow-green pocket hoses and thought the fact that the XHose used the DAP name meant it would be more reliable. I just e-mailed the company about what happened.

I bought three Hydrangea in the Fall. Gave one to my niece and kept two.None, NONE of the 3 made it through the Winter, which brings me to a question,does Amazon have a guarantee for the perennial purchases? Diane E Weigelt

For a hose that costs this much first of all we should not all be having these issues and yes, we should all be getting replacements under warranty! Most have broken after 30-120 days, we aren't talking a few years here...

There is no mention of a warrantee on the box nor the literature that was in the box. I have expanding hoses for two years and from my experience I see no reason that I will get several more years of service from my four hoses. It is very important to relieve the pressure on the hoses when not in use especially if they are exposed to the sun for any extended period of time. In the winter I store all of my hoses in the garage.

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!

I do not know anything about the pocket hose but I had 2 50 foot flexible hoses and the actual hoses busted (one completely in half) within 4 months. I also had 2 25 foot flexible hoses and one busted in about the same amount of time, the other is working just fine right now. If I were going to try any type of flexible hose I would order the x hose pro. https://www.xhose.com/pro/

The DAP I bought is still working for me. I have replaced the same type of "GREEN" hose I bought at Bed, Bath, And Beyond 4 times (all in warranty). I gave up on using them and bought this one. I have my fingers crossed that it will survive much longer....................

I bet the hose is the costly part and if you could get a replacement it wouldn't be much less cost than a full replacement. Mine is starting to leak already but will probably make it through until next season.

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.

You have a defective sprayer....I've bought three of these and never had a problem leaking....e-mail them..this is way too expensive to be loosing so much product
