BAZOLOTA Garden Hose, Expandable 50FT Water Hose with 9 Function Nozzle, Flexible Gardening Hose with All Brass Connectors, Leakproof Durable Expanding Lightweight Watering Hose Pipe

I loved it until the hose separated! The right side of the picture is where the black part came down but was still ok. The left side is where the hose separated while I was starting to use it so the water went everywhere & now it is completely useless. I loved it because it was so easy to use but not if I have to keep replacing it every year. So I can't emphasize enough, don't buy it without the warranty. But you might want to see what they replace before buying it, I didn't look into that part. I live in an area that rarely goes into the 30s & in the summer the hose is well shaded so it might separate faster where the weather is more harsh, couldn't say. Or if you don't mind buying a new hose after every summer, this is a great temporary hose. It is a light & easy to manage but one thing I know to look for now with reviews is how long a product works. I need something light & easy to use but I'm not going to buy this one again! I will try another brand to see if all these type of hoses last about a year. Well basically less since I rarely use a hose, I have sprinklers on timers but when a sprinkler head breaks I have to hand water until my landscaper fixes it. Every now & then when I plant something new I will use the hose every day but only for a few minutes. The life of this hose is way too short!!

Like everything so far. This is my first of this kind of hose. Did a lot of searching and read lots of reviews. The reviews for all of the Expandable Hoses had some bad comments. What I learned was to take extra card of terminations of the hose. Try to leave a straight section at the hose at the faucet when using and storing. You only get the stated length when the hose is completely full and under pressure. If you turn off the water with the hose not open, and then turn on the sprayer valve, to use the water in the hose for a little local watering, the hose will shrink and get shorter as you use up the water and empty the hose. Take care of the hose. I wind it up in a small bucket. (With no water in it) It will coil itself as you feed it into the bucket. When you are through doing this, make sure there is a small straight section of the hose at the faucet and the sprayer end and no kinks. Then when you go to use the hose, take it out of the bucket first and scatter it a little before turning on the water (so it can expand and not be confined in the bucket). From other hose reviews, the hose terminations seem to be the weakest link. I was looking for a hose with a good warranty but they are only as good as their customer relations is. I have only had this hose for 2 months, but still is working wonderfully. Hope it lasts 3-5 years at least.

Ammended: I tried this hose on two other spigots and found that it worked fine (the hose did shrink, but only about 5 feet); apparently the first spigot I used had a lower water pressure. This hose expands when filled with water, but as soon as I begin to expel water out of the hose and the pressure drops, the hose begins to shrink back to a smaller size. When I try to use the hose at it's maximum length, I can only use if for a few moments as it shrinks to a smaller size. I've had 2 expandable hoses before and they didn't do this. It's very frustrating as you have to physically pull on the hose to keep it from shrinking as you use it in the fully expanded length. I bought this because the ratings were so high. However, within the packing material was an Amazon coupon for $20 if you gave the hose a high rating. That's half the price of the hose refunded to the consumer if they give a high rating and probably accounts for the exceptionally high ratings. I don't think that's a fair business practice, not should Amazon allow it. I would return the hose if it wasn't such a hassle. It also limits/reduces the volume of water coming from the tap. Not happy!

I was amazed at the BAZOLOTA Garden Hose, Expandable 50FT Water Hose! Never seen such a hose design. The hose is very lightweight and small in volume that can fit into a medium grocery shopping bag, yet when I opened the faucet, the garden hose expands to a full length 50 ft. in less than 30 seconds. Please make sure that you have the nozzle screwed on first or have the valve at the other end of the hose closed completely to allow the water pressure squeeze and expand the hose to its full length. The menu explains the first time operation. However, most people like myself never bother to read the instructions.When you are about to stop watering, shut off the faucet and make sure that you keep the nozzle open, so that water in the hose will shoot out and let the hose shrink back to its original small size. We learned our lesson and got wet, when the water was shooting out of the connection between the hose and the faucet.Overall an impressive product that I still don't quite understand what type of mechanism makes the nylon mesh hose to expand and to shrink!

I receiving and using my first, I was so pleased I ordered another one to have one in my backyard (see pic) and one in my front yard. I have severe cervical and lumbar pains. and bought my first one anticipating my cervical fusion surgery which has required me to be in a hard cervical collar for 6 weeks and not lifting anything more than 5 lbs. If I don’t water my atrium plants andporch plants for 6 weeks, they’ll die. The regular hoses, needless to say, are not only extremely cumbersome, also too heavy. These new hoses were a perfect godsend! They are extremely lightweight, so far durable, and don’t see myself going back to heavy hoses, if only to hook up my pressure cleaner, which is these hoses’ one drawback. Only other minor thing is that once you turn of the water, you still need to push the nozzle to empty out all the water so it curls back completely. No biggie, though: I just apply the spray to a plant.One huge advantage for me: I can extend, with length remaining, the hose in the backyard, all the way through my sliding glass doors, thru the family room, and straight to my indoor atrium. This has been a huge help cause I couldn’t maneuver the heavy hoses to do same thru the house.My neighbors have seem these hoses and are enamored of them. I highly recommend them.
