I had already tried a similar hose from a different manufacturer and was pleased with it - until recently when I tried to use it and found it's inner hose burst despite it being stored empty. Sad day for me, because I really like the convenience of these hoses. So, when I got the opportunity to try a new one, I took it.
This hose already comes with an 8 function sprayer. It is not anything special or fancy, just your basic plastic model, but for general around the house stuff, it works just fine.
The hose comes with brass ends, which is much better than other hoses with plastic ends. These feel strong enough to last, not cheap and definitely will not break or crack if dropped.
The hose starts out coiled up, 33 feet long. It is a snake-like design with ribs that flex to expand instead of the others with the fabric that expands from folded to flat. Once filled with water, it expands to 100 feet in a matter of minutes. Once the hose is filled, it is ready to use and will continue to fill as it is being used. Once the work is done, simply let the water out and the hose re-coils for storage.
It looks much the same empty and filled, though it definitely feels fuller and does expand. It makes me feel more hopeful in it's ability to last longer because of this.
This style of hose is really convenient! No kinks, bends or bulges that interfere with water flow. They are lightweight and easy to pull around the yard, and durable enough to be drug over rocks, sticks and other obstacles without causing damage. I love that it stores so neatly and that I don't have to fuss with coiling it back up carefully or needing to find a hook to hang it on. So far, I am very pleased with this hose and have hopes that it lasts me several gardening seasons.
