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 us $19.95. Am not going to buy another expandable hose until somebody with real experience of using this hose for a long time tells me that it is durable and will last to get your money's worth?

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 had two X hoses and they both sprung a leak in less than 6 months. Great idea but not ready for pime time.

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.

Just looked on the box, no where does it say anything about the waranty. I found a forum talking about these and some said after two replacements they were still under warranty (I think a year) they were no longer replaced and e-mails where not answered. Some called and just received the run around. I will be looking into FlexableHose and Pockethose they say they have strengthened them but have to find proof. Just read instructions hahaaa it says to not leave the water on when not in use so this might be the reason for some of the problems but I didn't do this so not for all.

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 had one that sprung a leak a about amonth after the 6 yr warranty expired. BRadford-WHite wouldn't do anything for me. The lady on the phone was rude. A new one cost me over $1400. I had no choice. I would not buy one ever again. Almost like planned obsolescence. Just go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get a name brand one for less money. I was REALLY disappointed. You're not paying for quality in my opinion.

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

You can buy the exact 32 oz. product (95830) with a hose end sprayer attached for $1.00 less than this one (95829). Crazy, huh? Both are supposed to cover 5,000 sf. I can't find any difference between the two. I used both today and will check the two labels tomorrow. If I find a difference in strength I will post it.

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!

As a general guide, all expandable hoses are non repairable. The expanding and contracting action makes it impossible to effectively carry out a repair.

Sorry, I haven't had any problem with the lamp from Glamps. I would contact company direct and if no satisfaction, Amazon will insist on the company doing what is advertised.I have had 3 of the projector lamps purchased directly from Epson for over $300 each. Claim was that they lasted 4,000 hours. Original one in projector lasted 600 hours, which Epson replaced. that one lasted 1,200 hours next ones never lasted more than 700 hours. The Glamps is already at 275 hours Making it very inexpensive for cost per hour. I just bought another one yesterday for backup to avoid any delay whenever the current one fails.

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.

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.

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.

The hose that is ten dollars will kink and last about two years.This blue hose i bought i hope it will last a little longer.Use your own judgment. Some times chipper is not better.

I doesn't actually expand. It's just a replacement for 60-84 inch hose. However, it's not very well made and I had to replace it in about 5 months. It started leaking at about 3 months and just got worse over time. I decided it wasn't worth getting another one and replaced it with manufacturer version. My 2 FWIW.

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.
