SunGreen 50ft Garden Hose, All New Expandable Water Hose with 3/4" Solid Brass Fittings, Extra Strength Fabric - Flexible Expanding Hose with Free Storage Bag

Not 75ft, when extenended more like 50ft. Had a 50ft hose right next to it, never extended to 75ft.

TOTAL waste of money. I would send it back, but it is beyond the return date. The hose itself is nice. Flexible, does not kink. BUT, the water flow is terrible. The add makes a big deal about the 3/4 inch connectors. What the seller does not tell you is that the orifice the water has to flow through is less than 1/4 inch (see pic). This limits the flow to almost a dribble (a slight exaggeration).

These new style expandable hoses are so far ahead of the old hoses! No kinks, no stopping, durable, and takes up so little room with such a long length. Just what I needed for my front yard to reach my driveway and wash the cars.

Update: 2nd season of usage (10 months after purchase). Still good! I live in CO, so this hose was in the garage from Nov - March. But hooking it back up, it's working great. Per my previous notes, I'm pleasantly surprised, as I thought it would be kind of a 'buy a new one each spring' type of thing. But no leaks, no problems.Updated: 4 weeks of usage. So, it's still great. That's my concern with these expandable hoses, that they're not built to last. Thus, a quick note to say it's lasting quite well, and I'm still very happy with it. In roughly 31 days of ownership I've used it probably 25 times. No leaks, no problems. I'm still putting it away after every use, which sounds like more work than it is, as it does drain itself after each use. Also, for attaching a sprinkler to it, I've figured out a tip. The far end of the hose has a shutoff valve. If you put a sprinkler on and leave the valve full open, the hose won't stay expanded as it's really the water pressure that keeps it expanded (keep that in mind when you first turn it on; some of the initial water pressure goes toward expanding the hose, rather than shooting all the water out, at least until the hose is filled) and my sprinkler shoots out so much water there's not enough back pressure to keep the hose expanded. So, you can partially shut the valve on the hose, which keeps the hose expanded, but still allows plenty of water into the sprinkler.OriginalThe concept of these expandable hoses has always been great, but the previous time I bought one it was horrible. This hose is really good. I've had it for about 3 weeks now, and probably used it each day. No leaks in the hose, and no leaks at the connections. I am treating it pretty carefully, as I know that materials are not nearly as durable as a typical garden hose. For example, I've installed the quick-release connectors on both ends, and I remove it from the faucet every time I use it, and store it in a 5-gallon bucket to protect it from sunlight.- The water flow through this hose is less than through my 'normal' hose; but it's pretty close, and good enough for me. It's maybe 70% the flow of my normal hose?- Any time you remove it from the faucet, it self-drains as it retracts to its normal size. It really doesn't leave any water inside the hose.- Here's a consideration, not a big deal, but something to know if you want to run a sprinkler on it. It's a 75 ft hose, but retracted it's more like half that. So... To run a sprinkler on the far side of the lawn, you're going to get wet, as you have to have water in the hose for it to expand and reach 75 ft. You can do this with the shutoff valve at the far end of the hose turned off, but then you have to turn it on to start the sprinkler, and voila you're going to get sprayed.- I like this hose so much I'm going to buy another one for the front yard.

This was no where close to 100 feet of hose, for starters. And it produces less than HALF the water a normal hose produces. I purchased the 3/4" hose for MORE water, not less. And then it just didn't expand like expected for an expandable hose. They are still trying to figure out how to make these expandable hoses really work, but they aren't there yet. I will say Amazon returned the hose and refunded the purchase quickly without hassle.

We have a huge garden and the irrigation system doesn't always reach everything. I attached this guy to one faucet and was able to get around the back and the front of our house without any problem. My FAVOURITE thing : I can carry it by myself, its doesn't become stubbornly set when its cold, like a conventional hose, and the colour is visible, but tasteful. Thank you!! PS: I'm old, so being able to carry my hoses around is first prize.

convenient to store less bulk with this than a traditional hose, but it doesn't extend to its full advertised length. It's possible our water pressure isn't high enough? With shut-off vale closed it extends pretty far, then you open the value to use water (with water on, full blast) and it starts shrinking back.

Sadly, this hose was a huge disappointment and I’ll be returning it. To begin with, I ordered and paid for a 75’ hose. This hose stretches to a MAX of about 25’. I don’t know if they sent me the wrong one or what. The hose is heavy for an expandable hose, and therefore makes it awkward to roll up in one hand (even the puny 25’ one that I got). The hose does not pressurize the water, so you can’t just use a shut off valve at the end of the hose to get a powerful stream of water. One other weird thing about this hose, is that there seems to be a spot near the middle that was lacking the internal “support” of the hose. Like it had separated into two pieces inside the covering of the hose. Considering that the hose was gently used twice for a very short amount of time, that seems to be a huge quality issue. I’m sorry that I cannot recommend this hose. One thing that the Manufacturer did right was that the fittings are heavy duty and sturdy brass.
