They say it has a 10 year warrantee. But when you call they tell you to just take the hose back to where you bought it. There is no way this hose could last for 10 MONTHS of use much less 10 years. What a piece of junk. I bought 3 and all failed quickly. Never again.

At the time that I bought this hose; the warrantee was 30 days. The hose burst within about 45 days, and the supplier refused to help; not even offering a discount on a replacement.

After using this hose for about 3-4 weeks, I have been satisfied with it as it has performed as advertised. However, to be honest, after hearing about the various problems associated with similar hoses to the Rumford I keep waiting for a problem to occur. But...so far, so good. Hope this is helpful to you

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.

I don't know about a guarantee; I never checked. But I did buy another purple hose from Rumford because it is easy for me to use. I have had it since October, 2013. Here are a few tricks in keeping it okay (at least for seven months). Stretch it out before turning on the water. After using it, empty it completely and put it in a protected place away from the sun. It's still good and it has been seven months. The first one didn't last a month before it broke.

I can't tell you. The hose exploded after about 2 months of use! We took very good care of it, but it just didn't last. We'll never make that mistake again.

Hi Ally... I really have no idea even IF there is a warrantee. That said, These hoses will last you for many years. I have one that's about 15 years old snaking around my backyard garden in NYC, that stays out all winter. I drain it of course, and disconnect it from the spigot, but it's as good as new... At our country place up in the Catskills, where the temperatures can get really low, I do store them in the basement for the winter. They're really excellent hoses.

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.

I had the exact same problem and is was leaking until I really torqued it down. With the extremely course threads, typical for this connection, it was a matter of maybe a millimeter between sealed and not. We chose not to use it. I may try another, thicker, gasket and try it again but I don't know if that will help or not. I have not encountered this problem with other hoses or connections. I was replacing the same hose and connections that was in good use for about two years and never had this problem before. I was replacing the previous hose because the hose itself just wore out due to high usage. I had the exact same problem and is was leaking until I really torqued it down.

I don't know anything about Rumford's warranty policy. I only know that when I had problems with the a similar-type hose by another manufacturer, Amazon refunded my purchase price without any hassles. Not sure how long it was....certainly more than 60 days.

Before I ordered my hose I saw name & email address for Kevin Beck @ Rumford Gardener in one of the reviews. I emailed him on 6/6/14 & he said hose had a 90 day warranty. Nothing in shipment or on Amazon indicates that. Hose blew up on 7/11, 4 days after return window closed. No answer at 800 # for seller, 800-234-1957. Hope this helps.

After rolling the hose up twice it started started to leak water big time. I could never roll up a 100ft hose completely as avertised. I put it in the garage and have never used that piece of junk again. Bob

Supposedly 3 Months. More importantly, EVERYONE should be warned this is a BAD PRODUCT and I had recommended Amazon NOT sell it. I've received THREE sets over a 2-month period and ALL have failed, breaking at the connector or exploding at the hose end. Really shameful any decent company would sell this!

I haven't had to do this. But I'd go to my friendly neighborhood hardware store with a section of hose that I'd cut off, and the measurements of the hose and ask for a replacement. Probably the same as RV hoses...
