Could someone please tell us how long you have owned one of these hoses (with no problems) and maybe which color you bought?

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.

All of mine broke one way or another until I started keeping them in a covered container.

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.

Red. However beware before buying. Read all comments first. Warranty stinks.

I bought green in April 2013. So far it has worked very well with no problems. It is kept in a covered round hose holder I bought at Ace Hardware. I live in the desert and the sun ruins everything unless it is covered.

I have owned mine for about two months. It's great. Over 100 degree days and no signs of failure. Gets dragged over gravel and snagged on railroad ties with no signs of wear or damage. Mine is red--so I don't mow over it!!

Red, in December 2012. Owned it for 19 months, left outside (California) uncovered the entire time. Rolled up on a caddy about half the time. No problems, used daily (except in the rainy season). The red stays red so far.

Oh, I'm sure there's a warranty, but you'd be dealing with the manufacturer directly, and for something that costs $20, how much time and effort do you want to put into getting them to follow through on the warranty? For me, that is zero time and effort. I went out and bought a "regular" hose for less than the shrinking hose. Lesson learned.

If you use it alot go to your local industrial hose shop and have one made. Take them the old one. They can probably use a higher quality hose as well

It was a while ago so I do not have the box it came in but it looked just like the one that needed replacement and it works well. Sorry I could not be of more help. Also looked at the hose itself and there is no id on it. Hope this helps

No problem, they are great here in Phoenix. Have them out all summer long in 110 degree temperaturesand sometimes higher. Best hoses I have ever owned. I have four of them and wouldn't have anything else.

Hoses are great. May look similar to pool filter (the whole thing looks like a pool filter) but I've had the filter for about a year and a half and I have had no problems with them.

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...

One year on the machine, 90 days on the hose and gun. I have had mine for several months with no issues.

Hi, I needed a 50', the 25' was too short. The 50' is perfect for us and I just used it for about a month now and I do like it 90% of the time. I use it once a week to water my garden plants and stretching it to 50' sometimes kinks when pulling it. But it doesn't stay kinked, it unravels and no damaging effect. I live in Hawaii and I have it sitting on a wooden box, in the shade on the concrete slab of our garage to keep it out of the sun for longer lasting after each use. I would highly recommend this product because the price was right and I believe it is a quality hose. Lastly, it has a lifetime warranty to beat all other hoses. I read another review and they had a exchange with no hassles. Can't beat that for lifetime. The color choice was greenish blue which to me is nice because I do not have dirt to drag the hose along and to get it dirty ... if not black would do for dirt ground. Hope this all helps...

I have had the same problem everyone else seems to be having and the seller, Amazon and the broker would not help. You might be stuck with a very expensive hose.

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

I have the 50ft model & it's a great hose. It's very durable & the commercial's claims are accurate. It's a great buy.

I have the same problem as you, I am buying a small pack to take care of it. I read lots of reviews and many hoses out there and people say that many hoses don't fit right, are a different color, and that some are too heavy which will effect performance. Then I found this here on Amazon XtremepowerUS 4 Pcs Pool Cleaner Hose Kreepy Krauly Baracuda Zodiac G3 G4 Hayward - Turquoise BlueThe 2 reviews says they are perfect for this GENERIC Kreepy Krauly cleener. I believe by the description of color and, dimensions that this will be just what I need. If I am wrong and they are not perfect, I will update my Comment.

The one I have has been fine. Sometimes people may cross-thread the hose fitting or get the fitting too tight.

It's the manufacturer's warranty. Doesn't matter where you buy it. Although I doubt you'll ever need take it back. It's a very tough hose.

Great question and I wanted to update everyone about the hose. The new 2016 model is now selling here and the hose is more flexible and built stronger (much more dependable). We are so excited about this as its a great improvement because you should not see any more issues with this :)Thanks DustinGreatVacs

Found many listings for hose's on Amazons site. That said save yourself a problem and buy one made of metal not the plastic that these come with. I have had to replace 4 already over the last 3 years due to the connector breaking.
