hansgrohe Isiflex - universal shower hose 1.60m, with volume control and twisting protection, flexible shower hose with kink protection, incl. sealing rings, chrome [Energy Class A]

This is a really excellent shower hose. It doesn't become either hot or cold, so when it touches your skin it just feels neutral. It's flexible and light (although certainly not flimsy), it was simplicity itself to fit to a standard Triton shower - and doesn't leak or drip at all. It's darker than the metal coil-type hose which is usually fitted to showers, and it has a slight sheen/glow - so it looks better and more luxurious.Thank you to the reviewers here who mentioned that both washers were packed into one end of the hose, otherwise I would have missed that fact. (The washers are standard and so, should they ever perish or wear down, it's easy to get new ones (and I bought a packet of ten washers here on Amazon at the same time as I bought this hose, just in case). Something else worth mentioning is that the hose is very twisted in the packaging and at first it seems that it will forever be twisting against where you want to go when you use the shower, but after a couple of showers the hot water running through the hose gets rid of all the kinks and it's then perfectly smooth and unkinked.I'm just about to order another of these hoses for the (brand new) shower/mixer tap on a new bath. I was going to wait until the existing hose lost its colour, but I've decided that the new bath and taps will look even better with this hose - and I won't run the risk of scratching the new bath with the Hansgrohe hose which I would with the one fitted to the new shower/mixer unit.A really excellent shower hose.16 November 2017 - The hose is still performing perfectly and looking as good as new (it just needs an occasional simple wipe over with some descaler on the cloth to remove limescale, something which is virtually impossible to do with conventional twisted metal hoses). I haven't yet needed to change either of the washers. A second hose, which I bought for the shower unit over the bath, is also 'as new' after over a year.

Great replacement product pleased with hose, easy to install great length

I bought this to replace a standard flexible hose, which collected dirt no matter how much I dried and cleaned it after every shower. This one isn’t quite as flexible but it’s so quick to wipe down after use, doesn’t collect any dirt or germs and looks so much better than the cheaper hoses. A great buy, well worth the money.

Bought this to replace a leaky hose. This seems well made and much more sturdy than the numerous metal ones I have bought. Infinitely easier to clean than the old ones. Only downside is the pressure is on the low side compared to other hoses I've used. Think the bore is bit narrow. Other than that happy with it.

Does what it says it does. Quality good and works fine

the best metal shower hose . its really heavy and can bear high water pressure . like 16 bars which is very high for home use. moreover it can bear hot and cold water. the hose 2m empty is also very heavy . I now feel its better then the plastic hose I had of the same brand. however all metal hoses need to be replaced every few years due to scale . so that is something to keep in mind .

Just as expected, a perfect fit.

Easy to attach and works well. A little bit stiff and rotates the shower head in the holder but this is a minor issue.
