TheFitLife Expandable Garden Hose Pipe - Triple Core Latex and Solid Metal Fittings 8 Pattern Spray Nozzle EU Standard Expanding Kink Free Easy Storage Flexible Water Hose (75 FT, Black)

It would have been useful to know about the flow/pressure recommendations, which determine the operating length beforehand. Not sure what my pressure is but the 10M hose expanded to only 22M suggesting it is lower than the optimal 4 Bar, but this length is OK for my application so no complaints.Quality looks really good. Good quality brass fittings, which are a little tight, probably due to newness - I might just smear some silicone grease on the o-rings to see if that helps. Everything fitted together, no leakage, connection to the tap was simple with the 3/4 adaptor supplied, again, no leaks. The kit also comes with a complete set of replacement seals and gaskets for extended service life.A different type of fabric cover to those seen on cheaper types, much smoother when retracted more of a concertina weave than a spiral weave, works well, very neat, and doesn't promote hose twist like our last one......which is now in the bin.The spray gun is very good, the thumb lever flow control is an excellent idea, so you don't need to keep squeezing the pistol grip to release waterQuite a bit more expensive than other makes, but very happy with the quality level, and I guess you get what you pay for. Don't know about longevity, only had it a day but so far so good.A good buy, well worth the money.Update: December 2021- the spray gun developed a massive leak in the side of the pistol grip. There was as much water spraying sideways as there was coming out of the nozzle. Contacted Fitlife on Sunday, and a new spraygun (upgraded version as the original was out of stock) was shipped on Monday and arrived Wednesday. Great customer service 5⭐️ - that’s how it’s done. The hosepipe itself is still going strong, still happy with it.

Really pleased with this purchase, everything about it is quality, fittings, hose & gun and the bonus is the weight or should I say lack of weight which makes it so easy to use. Would fully recommend this!

More robust than previous extending hoses I have purchased. The tap connector does leak a little but is acceptable , shower head good. Only used it a couple of times so far and for short periods , does the job well but will reserve comment until I have used it for longer. Hence star rating.

great value and quality, should have got the longer side but this stretches quite far enough for us, highly recommended.

A simple straight forward expanding hose but of very high quality. Early days of useage but no problems at all and expect it to last many years.

The first one sent was leaking from the water flow dial. But the company were really helpful and sent a replacement head (not a full hose which would have been wasteful) and now the hose works perfectly. The expandable hose is light weight when empty and easy to use around the garden. Great product.

I chose this hose because it states – (1) ‘Triple layer latex inner tube is the highest quality material on the market, to strength the durability, no more burst’, (2) ‘Strong And Durable, No More Burst: The premium elastic outer fabric is more dense and rugged than before, can protect the inner tube effectively, provides superior protection from thorns, puncture, sharp corners, more resistance to bursting and leaks, prevent damage from normal friction of dragging on the ground’, (Their bad English not mine) and (3) ‘Solid metal connectors’.I do not know why they state that ‘endurance test can up to 1100-1200 uses compared to the typical life of only 200-250 uses under the water pressure of 145 PSI/10 Bar’.NOTE! (1) Nobody should have 10 Bar or anything above 5.5 Bar as this will potentially damage your home appliances and plumbing system; good pressure in the UK is between 2 and 5 Bar, typically 3 to 4 Bar. Water companies are only required by law to supply a minimum of 1 Bar pressure.NOTE! (2) The specification table says, ‘Water pressure request, 4 Bar’. What it should say is, Minimum required water pressure, 4 Bar, (this is above average) if not, you are left with a floppy un-extended hose, like me; I only have a healthy average of 3 Bar, (44psi), so check your water pressure before ordering!NOTE! (3) The hose fittings do not allow direct use of many other manufacturers fittings: push as hard as you like but the connector will not lock (or click) on, the fittings supplied are slightly shorter than standard, to allow for this the female connectors have a spacer washer inside, If you want to use any other standard hose fittings you need to remove this washer, then making sure you have a decent O-ring fitted on the male connector; then this will allow it to act as per a standard fitting. The spay head, which is excellent; comes without an O-ring fitted (male connector), to allow it to fit their female connector; but the hose kit does come with a good selection of washers and O-rings allowing the male connector to be adapted to fit a standard female connector.So, if you have pressure of at least 4 Bar and will only be using the hose and fittings as supplied (not using any of your own) then all will be well, but as I stated, it does not expand or work for me!

I like the length and the lightness of the hose but the gun part has started to leak. Only purchased May 2024.WOW after leaving this review the company have sent me a new Gun part. That is exceptional customer service as by the time the leak appeared it was to late to return.

Perfekt

Viel Schlauch zum Gebrauch. Jedoch nach dem bewässern keine schlepperrei und kein Schlauchwirrwa.

Sehr gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis!

La uso mucho, tanto para regar plantas de mi terraza, como para limpiar el suelo con presión. No tengo toma de agua en la terraza, por lo que la conecto en la cocina. Cruza la cocina y el salón (que es bastante amplio) sin problema y crece lo suficiente como para llegar hasta más de la mitad de la terraza. Recomendable.

The media could not be loaded. La llevamos usándola desde hace más de un año y muy contento con ella puesto que no ocupa nada de espacio ni pesa ya que al dejar de recibir agua se contrae. Viene muy bien como es mi caso para el campo regar sitios lejos sin tener que usar una manguera común de agua la cual para otra vez ponerla en su sitio o llevarla a otro lado pesa y se tarda tiempo. Los conectores de metal te aseguran que no se pasarán con el sol o que se partirán si se golpean con algo y se pueden adaptar a rosca de ½ y ¾ lo cual está muy bien. La pistola es muy cómoda de usar y de regular la cantidad de agua que sale ya que cuenta con una palanca para regularla y los distintos chorros de agua le aportan mucha utilidad para distintas ocasiones en los que se use.Hay que tener en cuenta que necesita por los menos unos 3 o 4 bares de presión para que se expanda bien por lo que en una casa donde la presión del agua sea común puede no estirarse del todo.Tiene muy buena calidad ya que después de tantos usos y de arrastrarla por el suelo no se ha desgastado ni picado ya que esta totalmente a la intemperie.
