We just have to stop giving these folks our money for stuff that doesn't work...

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....................

The hose is a piece of junk and not worth the money anyone pays for it. I had much the same experience

I have used this product numerous times. I have it mounted in an outside compartment in our motorhomes and use it as the water supply line. I can't fathom how under normal use that you could cause this hose to burst, unless you got a cut or abrasion on it. This is a good quality piece of equipment and I expect to get many years of use from it. Hope this helps Patrick.

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/

I tried two of them and both broke at the on off area. Knowing this happened, I was super careful and both still broke. Works great the first couple times then..... Water enters, motor gets wet, housing cracks, etc. I did not biy a third one. I hope this helps. Great idea, if they'd fix it.

I might have to get a new pump because this one has blown the fuse 3 times now. Cool pump if it weren't for that problem...

on the second use my hose leaked very badly at the connection to the house valve

Lyle I had the same problem on a 120v line. The pressure got so high it burst a section of pipe. You will find the contacts are pitted or burned, If not check the spring action it may be jammed.

Yes I had the same fault when I started the engin. My shockes had cracks in the rubber air bag and allowed moisture to get in to the pump. Causing the air dryer to fill up with moisture and eventually ruin the pump.

Wow, mine is the same age and may have the same issue! The hose barb on mine developed a crack along the seam in the plastic. I found a new one online right here at Amazon: "Solo 4074654 Sprayer Hose Barb". Expensive for a little plastic part. I wrote to Solo about the issue, but never received a response. This one will be delivered today in fact...

I agree with all of you. This pocket hose is a piece of CRAP!! I replaced TWO of them this summer, and now the third one just broke (split at plastic connector and hose). I tried to duck tape-did not work. Anybody else notice that it works for about 2 months, and then breaks after return date? Amazon should remove this from their inventory and issue credit past return date!!

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.

You're catching on, Ian. If you consider "long term use" as somewhat longer than 90 days, I have a pair that burst after two years. A "Warranty" isn't of any value and strictly limited to the replacement of the failed hoses within 90 days, not the thousands of dollars in damage their burst hose can cause. Read the warranty's small print that specifically denies any and all responsibility for "... "Incidental and Consequential Damages", unless your insurance company sues them, of course. Nice, eh?

Ours lasted for about 2 months then exploded. The fitting did not seem to be the issue but the hose itself was obviously faulty. Many other reviews said the same thing. Amazon needs to cease selling this product.

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.

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.

I bought the longest hose. It goes from the water spiked on one side of my house to the other. The longer one costs a little more but it was worth it.

Hi Richard. Yes I only bought one of these hoses, but after the third use it came apart at the fitting that attaches to the water spigot. Was not impressed with it. When I have that kind of a failure soon after purchase I don't try it again. I won't purchase another. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.
