I have tried 2 hoses &amp; 1 burst &amp; the other leaked at fitting, I love the idea but want one that lasts,Yours is more expensive - is it also fragile?

Yes! I think because the connections are plastic none of them will last very long. Mine lasted 3 weeks.

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.

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 had mine for a couple of months, and used it a handful of times. Burst with no warning, not stretched, not under duress from pressure because we have a regulator.

Probably not. Try a standard rubber washer in place of the o-ring. Not the slightly smaller plastic ones that always leak for me. If it leaks with any of the 3 alternatives then try a different accessory. If it still leaks then you could have a defective thread on your hose. I've encountered this with several cheap hoses and started buying higher quality ones. They are also cheaper per year than the cheap hoses. Here in the Denver CO area, for 50/60 feet, cheap is $10 while good is $30-35 and excellent about $50-60.

I have used mine constantly for a couple years in southern California; it was my favorite hose so I bought two more a few months ago and love them too. They have never swollen or leaked. If by constant pressure you mean having the water on but the end you would attach a sprayer to shut down, I try not to do that but forget sometimes and did not have a problem.

Yes you could, BUT it busted yesterday. I think these hoses are doomed. This hose was my last one to purchase, unless they make significant improvements.

No way....and that is why it probably did not last....cheap construction. Water dripped from the connection to the hose and so Amazon sent me another, but that did the same thing. Not worth buying.

Yes I had the same problem, I returned the hose. I have not found an alternative yet.

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 had one that did that. return it asap! It can't be fixed. I've had three. One failed the second time I used it, doing what yours is doing. The other sheared open along a 4 foot length of hose and the water poured out there. The only one I've had that has lasted is the one made by Rumford. The other two were useless!

Contact JGB Enterprises. They will send you a replacement hose, usually no questioned asked. Unfortunately, they all burst. I had 9 of them and all 9 (over a period of a year and a half) burst. They said it was a manufacturing flaw, but the replacement hoses burst after 6 months of light duty use. The replacements for the replacements burst after 4 to 6 months after that. The material this is made from is just not sturdy enough to handle the pressure. I always drained it before storing it, but it bursts when you use a hose end shut off sprayer. If you use it for a sprinkler or without a sprayer that shuts off, you might be in good luck and it will last for a year or so. Contact JGB Enterprises.

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.

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

Mine leaked a little too. I put some Vaseline on the threads and tighten it good. Hasn't leaked since but it's a pain opening it sometimes

i just checked and it seems possibly the very hose i bought may have a suit against it. we bought a 25 footer that does its job around the house, then bought a 75 footer which has worked so far. i love the light weight aspect. now, x-hose is advertising theirs as the authentic one with 3/4" diameter - that one i want to get next. x-hose for sure advertises they are durable. we will baby ours and i hope it lasts!
