I bought this hose about 3 months ago and love it. I got tired of buying hoses that stated they wouldn't kink, but that's all they did. I use this hose almost everyday and have had zero issues . It doesn't kink so that's a huge plus in my book. Going to buy another hose for the backyard.

Thank you for a thoughtful and professional review. I really appreciated it. I just purchased this hose about a week ago and used it twice. I noticed a couple things immediately: 1) there was leakage at the valve where I turn the water on (same as regular hose) and 2) my pressure shifted from really good (same as the regular hose) to "less than the regular water hose." So far, the only value I see is that it will not scratch my car if I need to run the hose over the car (but not sure why I would do that but it's possible). The hose moves easily when I move because it is more flexible than regular hose, so this is good. But overall, so far, my old traditional hose appears to offer almost the same benefits (and it's old) and the cost in my case is not justified.

Dont they have a 5 yr warranty?

I bought 8 of these because they are so nice and light weight, and I have a couple acres of young trees to water. Six of the eight have failed within a year. 5-year warranty is great unless you bought yours through Amazon. The shipping to return will cost as much or more than a replacement. And while they may be kink free in the traditional sense, they are prone to behavior that is worse. Mine snarled up in knots frequently. If you use beyond, say, a 25 foot length of hose, these easily get themselves tied into knots somewhere in the middle like string would do because they are so flexible. Then you find yourself trekking back to undo the knots.

This is my favorite hybrid garden hose so far. It's held up just fine after 2 summers. I'm planning on testing a new Stanley brand repairable hose this spring. Please subscribe is you want to see that review.

As a woman with back and hip issues, I like the ZeroG 50' hose because it is lightweight. I have only used it for a couple of months, so I don't know how durable it will be over the years. The ZeroG does not expand, which is good because the expandable hoses are junk. My concerns are with the aluminum threads on my brass spigot, I wonder if they will "weld" together as warned. I also worry about this hose leaking in future years. You also will not get the water pressure that you get with a regular rubber garden hose. I would not recommend using the shut off valve at the end of the hose, as the built up pressure may burst the hose.

You can purchase a "quick connect" kit from stores like Harbor Freight for around $8.00. Not only will it isolate the aluminum garden hose thread from the spigot (preventing the welding of the metal), but it will allow you to easily attach/remove nozzles or swap-out different attachments to the hose without having to screw-in and unscrew the nozzle or other attachments from the hose.

Costco Carries this Item 100ft at good price. Thought I would try this, I like the concept Light non Kink. It worked well Thought it was a keeper. However after the 1st week it started to leak where it attaches to the sprayer. It has a Thick Rubber Protective Shield at both ends where it attaches and that is where the leak developed. Very Disappointed Took it Back. Thought I would try a 2nd one in case it was a fluke situation. However sorry to say same thing happened in same time frame. To Bad I really like the the concept. However I did take it back as well. Sadly I would NOT Recommend Guess I will wait till next year see what the new Model brings see if can find one that doesn't leak.

I was able to get 2 full years before it started to seep at the end. It's not too bad, so I can still use it to water the plants. So far, it's the best hybrid hose I own. Other brands actually popped the first season.

I bought two of these one for the front yard and backyard. Unfortunately after about 9 months they both busted. One at the front end where you screw it into the faucet and the other got a hole somewhere about the middle. They worked great while they lasted. I like how easy it is to fold up...but it diesnt last so I cant recommend it.

What's the easiest way to organize this hose? I bought one and thought to put on a reel, but then while some of it still on the reel, the hose needs to expand when I need to use it. And it it seems be more difficult to expand while it's still reeled up. Any suggestions?
