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.

This product is terribly made and a waste of my hard earned money. 1) Low water flow forces you to "mist" you big plants to death. It is like watching paint dry. 2) plastic attachment started popping off the faucet on the second use. From then on it popped of ever single use. 3) The connection to the hose broke on the 4th use, and that was the last straw. I have never written a bad review, but this product is just terrible. Into the trash it goes.

One thing missing from the product description was the rate of flow with these coiled hoses, they are pathetic. I use it for watering my plants and I have to wait for long to water each pot. The flow from the nozzle is like mist. The plastic seems cheap, after 6 mnths of use the coiled pipe is getting streched out and is developing knots when not used. Overall you get what you pay for. Although for light and indoor uses it would be fine.

Another thing, I could not get the supplied adapter fit my sink faucet.

I needed a brass wand/fittings but this item had plastic ones which bent during use. Also, the hose became detached from the fittings when the water was turned on, disconnecting the hose from fittings, causing water to spray all over the room. I had to return the item and the optional fittings.

Within one minute of hookup and water pressure the section where it attaches blew off. I was able to get it back in one piece but even then the pressure had to be very low.

If you can get this for under 10 bucks, I might suggest it... Otherwise, stay away.

No instructions or warranty included in the plain brown box it was shipped in other than a single sheet on how to use the faucet attachment.

You get no pressure with this hose..good for watering plants with mist. Thats it. If that is your use..buy it. Its perfect and is great not to have to haul around the water can. Also the wand is nice so you dont dump water down your arm.

I was brousing through Amazon.com a few weeks ago and noticed the SpringHose, thereafter the SpringJet. I didnt know how I could use it at first, but since receiving this product I have found a perfect home for it on my deck outside. I use it everyday to water my potted plants, and it so convenient. Great Product, gopod idea!

The thing just flat doesn't work. The coils catch on everything, there is no way to get water out in anything other than a mist, and leaks like a sieve from every possible place.

I was really excited about having an easy watering solution for my front porch plants; this turned out to be pretty disappointing. First, it cannot handle the pressure of an outdoor faucet - why they even bother with pretending you need an adapter for household faucets is beyond me - it can only (sort of) work at indoor faucet pressures, so why not just manufacture it that way. Second, the overall construction is VERY flimsy; had I not returned it, I seriously doubt it would have held up for any reasonable length of time. Lastly, the adjustable tip was a joke - all it did was change the direction of the poorly-defined spray pattern (perhaps because it couldn't handle the pressure, but I tried it with my faucet set at barely a trickle with no better outcome). Great concept, but this one's not the one to get.

Not well made at all. The length is shorter than stated and when you try to fully stretch it to reach the area you want to water it pops off of the faucet. Don't waste your money!
