**Gardguard 50ft Expandable Garden Hose - Lightweight, No-Kink, 10-Function Nozzle with Solid Connector (Black) - Perfect for Watering Plants, Washing Cars, and Outdoor Cleaning**

Bought this for my backyard as I was sick of dealing with a leaking hose cart. Put the hanger over the spigot and coiled the hose on it. Very convenient. The sprayer head included is decent enough and I like that there is a valve on the end of the hose and on the spray head. Normally I can just take a few coils off the hanger and reach the plants I want to water, then shut the water off, and coil it back up. Only thing to keep in mind is to get it to shrink back down and be lightweight is to drain the water out of the hose, so I usually keep a watering can nearby, and let the water drain into there so It doesn't just go to waste when I'm done using the hose.I'd buy again.This is lightweight and easy to maneuver but if you overly stretch it where the insertion metal screw-top meets with the fabric of the hose at either end, you will spring a leak. (Have purchased more than one.) I am very careful not to pull it taught but if a painter or anyone uses your hose without your supervision, you can eventually spring a leak. I am not sure that the design could yield a change unless it transitioned from metal to a softer pliable rubber to the fabric of the hose, to allow more flexibility . Would be fabulous then. I still love using it because it’s so easy to store. No winding up necessary. I just lay it in a terra cotta planter in flower bedI have been looking at these hoses that claim to retract when empty and expand when full of water. Based on previous reviews and an Amazon Choice tag I ordered two of these hoses; one for the front yard and one for the backyard.What a positive difference from the rubber hose I was using!The hose does indeed expand and retract like stated in the ad. It is extremely light weight to use too - my wife even helps out with watering in the yard now because this garden hose is so manageable.I ordered two 100 foot hoses to reach across the property and chose the blue colored one. The spray nozzle that came with the garden hoses work more than just fine and give us plenty of choices when watering. There's been no leaks noticed with the attachment at the house or at the sprayer. A bonus was getting three extra o-ring seals included. The wall attachments and bags that came with the order are probably not going to be used by us, but those bags will come in handy for something else as they are of good quality.Recommended? Absolutely!If you're still waffling about one of these types of hoses, don't even think twice about getting this one. We no longer have to deal with a heavy rubber hose that boasted on the package that it doesn't tangle or twist (it does - all the time) because this hose doesn't tangle. And this hose takes up much less room than the other hose. We are quite happy with it.I LOVE this hose ....I put up a not-so-good review the other day and am changing it because it is ME who did not know how to use it! I love it even more now. I had no idea it had a pause button on it, that stops the flow of water when the user wants to pause it for a moment. There is a push bar on the nozzle that allows you to do this. Not only do I have multiple sprays but now I don't have to walk back to the spicket when I want to stop the water flow for a minute..... happier than ever. - TracyThis hose has seriously been a life-saver (or plant-saver) this year for my balcony plants. I was so tired of lugging giant watering cans back and forth between my bathtub and balcony every day to water my plants. I was able to hook this hose up to my kitchen sink and it has made my life so much easier. In terms of quality and durability, it has held up perfectly this summer but I do keep it indoors and I am very gentle when using it. I don't think this hose would last very long if left to the elements and kept outdoors or used roughly. But as an alternative for watering my balcony plants, it has been absolutely wonderful!Seems like good quality that will last for awhile. Works great so far.My Australian shepherd had chewed through all of our garden hoses in a weeks time and I was looking for one that was long enough to get us through the rest of the summer without spending too much money, so I thought I’d try this one out not expecting much (usually not a fan of these types of hoses) but I actually love this hose! Has great water pressure/flow and the hanging rack it came with is actually very sturdy and seems like it will hold up! The spray nozzle attachment is awesome too, you really can control it with one finger easily! Very happy I bought this! :)Bought this hose to provide water to my terrace with 15 large planters. Was able to hook into the washing machine since only water source is inside apt and 35 feet from source. Works perfectly. Sabes my back since before Having this hose I had to haul watering cans from the kitchen at least a dozen Times a day.
