Baker Boutique Expandable Garden Hose 100ft - Expanding Water Hose with 10 Function Nozzle, 4 Layer Latex and 3/4'' Solid Brass Fitting, Easy Storage Garden Water Hose

I’ve previously had a couple of those green fabric covered expanding hoses which haven’t lasted long at all, so when I found I needed a new one (again!) I decided to go for a different one this time. The difference is obvious, this appears to be a much better quality one, although it is more expensive too. It has brass metal fixings on its ends, rather than plastic, the spray gun is better quality too, and the hose itself feels quite thick and seems heavy duty. You also get a bracket to fix to a wall if you want to hang it up when not in use, and it came in a bag which I’ve used to keep all the spare bits in. I didn’t think it was going to fit on my outside tap at first, but I then found that the tap connector comprises of two pieces and I only needed to separate them and use the lower one and it was good to go. It was easy to change between the water flow settings on the spray gun, and there’s quite a few different ones to choose from, I like the shower one. All in all I’m very pleased with it, it expands well and is easy to pull over the garden, and it contracts well when you turn the water off.

Bought this to replace a broken hose. Probably the third or fourth time I’ve replaced a garden hose. I bought this as an alternative to replacing fittings as it was more economical. This fittings on this product are brass therefore won’t crack in cold weather. Very good value for money and so far quality looks very good. Time will tell.

I bought this product in August 2023 and it has just developed a leak at the joint of the flexible hose to brass connector which connects to the sprayer. Cannot even give it a star for durability. I contacted the seller and had a response almost immediately. They wanted to know the problem and also photographic proof of the leak, which is reasonable. They agreed on a replacement and I received the new hose today. The leak is a manufacturing fault and the quality of the hose is good. I am changing my rating to four star and I would give them a five star for customer service.

My balcony planters have never looked better. The moment this 100-foot RüK hose expands from its compact 33-foot coil, it feels like someone has quietly extended the garden. Water flows freely through a four-layer latex core wrapped in sturdy 3750D fabric, and the brass ¾-inch and ½-inch connectors twist onto the outside tap without the faintest hint of a leak. Because the hose is so light, I can thread it round the car, skirt past the kids and even rinse the surfboard without feeling as though I am grappling with Nessie. The spray head offers ten settings, from a delicate rose mist for seedlings to a hard jet that sends opportunistic seagulls on their way. A thumb lever controls the pressure, although it does stiffen a little once it is wet. The supplied hanger slips easily over a fence rail, but its plastic moulding feels more pound-shop than premium, and the drawstring pouch is really only useful for keeping the spare washers dry. I have also noticed the fabric sleeve picks up scuffs if it drags across rough concrete, so it is worth lifting it clear of sharp edges. Still, for a little over thirty pounds you are getting serious reach, zero kinks and brass fittings that should shrug off the rainy weather. If the outer weave were a touch more abrasion-proof, this hose would be almost perfect for our unpredictable weather.

Cheap products never work. Within 3 uses of this hose it was squirting water from the joint with the trigger. Sent them an email but no response. Be very careful, I’m off to b&q to see if I can get something decent
