This is a very nice product for its intended use (albeit one that is rather similar to many others marketed elsewhere). However, please bear in mind a couple of subtleties that may not be obvious from the item description:

(1) The length of the hose is measured at its theoretically full extension. However, the hose never actually reaches this full extension because of elastic resistance (i.e. the very same "spring" effect which is the reason you presumably bought the hose) and torsion along the length of the hose as it is stretched. My experience is that you lose approximately 25% of the hose's length to these two effects. The only way to beat this is by making sure that the hose's rated length is that much LONGER than you need.

(2) Make sure that you have the appropriate adapter permitting you to attach the hose to your faucet. Designer faucets, faucets with hose attachments, imported faucets, and outdoor faucets all may have trouble working with this hose out of the box.

I was brousing through Amazon.com a few weeks ago and noticed the SpringHose. I had seen them
in stores, and really liked the idea and convenience of this product. Upon further review and price
comparison on Quality, amazon.com has the most competitive price available for this product.
Considering it is a North American made product, I love that I can rely on its lifetime warranty. I
have enjoyed the many conveniences this product has brought, not only to my garden but for
washing my car as well.
Many thanks, I Give full marks for the SpringHose!!!!!!! The convenience of the 25'er for my patio was well worth the extra purchase. I found the 50'er a little too long for small patio use.

I bought this Plastair ocean blue coiled garden hose as well as the green Plastair coiled one at the same time. I much prefer this one and highly recommend it. It is very flexible and extends much better than the green one. The 3 or 4 extra dollars are well worth spending to get this better hose. Not only does it extend further than the green one but it is much easier to handle..... takes no effort at all and feels lighter.

This hose is constructed as best as a $15.00 hose could be-don't expect more. Other reviewers were correct in stating that it DOES NOT extend the full footage as described-in fact it may be approximately one foot short of the actual length. Not a bad deal if you need a hose that won't be in your way, and don't want to spend a fortune.

Bought a 25 ft hose. It's light weight all right, but the coils are stiff and without tugging it hard it is not easy to get much more than 15 feet with it. So it's good only for small areas.

We purchased this hose to hang outside for shoe/foot rinsing purposes and for that it works great. The problem is that the hose comes with two female ends and in order to attach a spray nozzle or a sprinker you need to buy a connector. For the price, this was a good deal since we combined with something else we needed and received free shipping.

It's just what I needed....perfect for watering the planters and small garden that I have right off the deck of my condo which is about 10-15 ft. from the faucet. It's so easy to just put in the patio storage box when not in use. (25 feet would only be if you stretched it out fully).

Hose works fine, but the 50 ft one would do better; this one doesn't quite reach far enough.

I bought 8 of these hoses to connect together to reach the different levels of my garden. I bought several so I would not have to stretch them too much to make them reach. I only used them a few times and two of them pulled apart right away. I have had other brands of coiled hoses in the past with no problems but these are very cheaply made. No doubt made in China. China is becoming well known in the world for cheaply made garbage.
