Durark 25-Feet Expandable Hose with Brass Fittings and Shut-off Valve, Black

I was very disappointed with this product. Immediately after hooking the hose up to water I noticed several design flaws. It seemed like whoever put this together didn't care, or the quality control just didn't care. The "head" of the hose, the part that the water comes out of, isn't securely on the hose causing it to look crooked. It eventually snapped and sprung a leak after the phone was put away. There is also a "kink" or odd formation on part of the hose, causing water to not properly flow through the house. Since the water can't properly flow through the hose, when valve is open fully at the head it causes a loss of pressure and the entire hose shrinks! Not very happy with this product. I've attached pictures so you can see what I mean. I will absolutely be contacting Amazon for a refund! Spend the extra money and get a name brand one!

It seems a lot of us reviewers are on an endless journey in search of an expandable hose that won't explode with regular use. I was beginning to think this was some kind of Sisyphean exercise in humility--a fool's errand--when I stumbled upon this warrantied hose. I've had this product for about two months now, and it's still going strong. It seems to be built of sturdier stuff than the as-seen-on-tv "pocket hose" and other imitators. I especially like the metal fittings. I'm still pretty sure it will break at some point, but the seller claims to offer a lifetime warranty, and that gave me enough confidence to make the purchase.I'll update this review if and when it breaks and I need to avail myself of the warrant. But so far, so good.

Quality hose but extremely short. Nice brass couplings. Might barely stretch 25 feet if you pull really, really hard. The company stood behind their product tho and offered me a 50 ft hose for exchange free. Wow!

Update after a few months of use (Dec 2016) . It just burst open and failed as all the previous expandable hoses I have owned. After three tries (different brands and prices) I am done with these hoses, they break after only a few weeks/months, so the price/benefit is not worth it. I did not use this hose under higher pressure than normal water from the tap nor I abused it in any way. It failed in the first three feet closer to the tap.This is a great hose,convenient, as these are supposed to be and yet sturdy. I owned a couple of similar hoses and they burst after a short time, but this is good so far. Fittings are solid as well.

5 stars is not only because of the quality of the product, also the company service. our 1st one was broken when we received, but we though it looked like a good quality hose, so we gave it another try by ordering 2nd one. I wrote a feed back on company's review. Within 12 hours i got an reply from this company to apologize and refund us for two orders. I could not believe this kind of service is still existing today. The 2nd hose works great no leaking, fits very tight. I highly recommend the product and company.

While the design of this hose is really cool; coils up small when not in use, expands when you need it, the materials are not sturdy enough for long term use. I purchased two, a month apart, and both blew out within a day of each other after less than a year of use. To the company’s credit, they replaced both units free of charge. Sadly, a repeat of my first experience happened with both replacement units. In my case the Internal hose exploded, breaking away from where it connects at the fitting. I always made sure to not stress where the hose connected to the fitting and gradually increased water pressure to avoid over expanding the hoses too quickly.Unfortunately, the materials seem to be inadequate for regular long term use.

Count me in as one of the others around here experiencing an exploding house. I got about a year out of it, and it was stored in the shade the whole time. Then one day when the pressure came it just exploded. Loved it while it worked, but I can't accept such a short lifespan given its price.

We have a home garden and I bought this hose to water my planters. At first we were very pleased with its performance. Then the hose exploded just below the nozzle after a month of use. We never left it on and there is no explanation for its failure. It caused an injury to my side when it exploded. I attached a pic. It is dangerous. Do not buy.
