This is a great time saver for those of us who like things neat and tidy. I have a land lot with multiple water spigots which I need for watering new plants and landscaping. When I am through watering, I just shut the water off while leaving the sprayer on until the water is drained. This makes the hose shrink to a much shorter hose, which is is easy to store on the included hanger. While it came with washers, I also used a tiny bit of teflon tape on the faucet thread, so that there is never a leak or drip. Nearly two months of use now in the Florida sunshine and it's holding up beautifully. The included sprayer is easy to hold with lots of choices in selections.
I've been using this almost everyday for over a month now. Great hose that helps me keep things neat and tidy around here. I like the sturdy brass fittings. It came with washers, but I also used teflon tape to make a water tight connect
Nearly every day I use it to water my outside potted plant garden plus wash the dust and tree debris off my RV windshield. I only drive every few weeks, so my windshield needs frequent washing so it's already cleaned when I do get ready to drive.
Kit came with a thoughtful extras like the hose hanger, bag and the nifty sprayer.
This expanding water hose is very well made. The fittings are metal.
Included is an on/off valve at the end of the hose, so you can turn it off or on there to attach the included sprayer which came with assroted functions. I tested them all, they work beautifully.
I mostly use this to water outdoor plants, but it has some good strong settings for washing my motorhome.
This hose collapses nice and neat not wrinkly like some hoses.
I am very impressed. This is well made and very functional.
It came with quick connect fittings. You can pop it off the faucet for storage elsewhere, then pop it back on the faucet when you need it, without having to screw and unscrew it each time.
All the fittings are plastic which is lightweight and easy to manage. Perfect for a gardener who might have arthritis or problems with big heavy hoses, this is rather adaptive for ease of use. The spray nozzles has multiple functions. It also quick connects on and off, just click it on or off, no need to mess around screwing it on and off.
I tried all the settings in the video. I was very pleased with all of them. I was doing it one handed and the sprayer was new, but it clicked into place each time. Now that I have used the sprayer several times, it's much easier to manipulate.
Included are pictures that show it fully expanded as well as shrunk up on the post. I love not having to coil up 50 feet of heavy hose. This shrinks and does all the hard work for you.
It came with an extra fitting that I believe is intended for most kitchen faucets in case you want to use it indoors for your houseplants.
