HOZELOCK - Hybrid Watering Hose Tuffhoze 25 m : Extremely Flexible, Tuff-Fibre Woven Technology, Suitable for High-pressure Cleaners (40 bar), Durable hose: Ready to Use [8125 8000] Grey

I was fed up with cheap hoses that broke easily or ones that took an age to wind up on a reel. This one does not tangle and so far has been perfect plus with the very long guarantee if anything does go wrong it's not a faceless company from China who listed once and disappeared but a UK established company I can go back to.

Purchased to replace a so-called expandable hose - which of course only expands to the advertised length when filled with water, then shrinks dramatically when in use, such that it can often prove to be an expensive mistake. This new design is different, the hose has the same tough outer fabric covering but there is very little expansion, therefore in terms of hose length, what you see is what you get. We bought the 25m version, not as lightweight as Hozelock claim but entirely manageable and certainly feels lighter than a standard garden hose. We have only used this item for a few months so I can not comment on quality and long term durability (of three expandable hoses we have owned previously, two failed (burst) after a year or two of relatively light use). The item does however look and feel tough and well made and has so far lived up to the quality Hozelock name. It is on the expensive side, but one must expect to pay for good high-tech products.

After 5 years it has started springing leaks. Inner hose material has obviously run its course. In a space of a few months 3 separate leaks have occurred. Good hose for the first 4 years…

After connecting the hose up, I turned the tap on, the hose swelled up and seemed okay at first, but then the matching Hozelock trigger spray gun kept popping off the hose, luckily the water stop connector stopped me from getting a soaking, I have tried turning down the pressure, but it still keeps popping off, I changed it to a non stopp connector, and yes you've guessed it I came off again and soaked me even with the tap only turned on a quarter of a turn.This hose would probably suit an area of very low water pressure.

I have always paid good money for quality garden hoses, normally buying this brand. I did in the past buy an unbranded 'stretch' hose as I was fed up with a huge reel on the wall. This lasted a year then fell apart, but I really liked the idea. After that I purchased a traditional non kink 25m Hoselock hose with plastic reel. This I had for two years but got completely fed up with the constant kinks in the hose and the immense bulk of the plastic monster that would occasionally make a leap for freedom. I spend an age looking for a decent quality stretch hose on Amazon but drew a blank. Just as I was about to give in I found this!Got the wall mount to go with it (nice low profile unit with small cubbie hole) and am very very impressed. Works brilliantly and seems like it will last for years. Great for general use including supplying my pressure washer.

Spent a while searching for a hosepipe to meet our needs and this one fits the bill. Unpack and click onto outside tap - allow to fill with water and 'bob's your uncle' so to speak. Is lighter weight than a standard garden hose but not 'featherweight' however is very supple and easy to move around the garden/driveway as needed. As for durability - time will tell as have only had this for a few months. Happy with purchase.

This is the best hose I’ve got strong and long enough to go from front to back garden totally recommend this hose

Nice light weight hose.No problems as yet using it
