Comments about Coil Hoses:
I was so looking forward to yet another coil garden hose this year. I loved the durability and how it keeps my yard neat yet it is so accessible with great stretch!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
This is the 2nd one I've owned, the 1st lasted 10 years. Used outdoors for container watering , it is under constant water pressure all summer long with no leaks. It's well constructed and heavy duty, much better than the two that I got from a national home retailer... those lasted less than two weeks after which they sprang leaks. Very happy with the 50 foot model.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Use this hose on my outdoor deck - it does re-coil pretty much out of the way which I really like however, when I stretch it to go to the length of the deck sometimes it gets tangled up. It is a real pain to untangle. Other than that it serves it's purposes very well.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I'm so glad to no longer be tripping over my previous straight hose or having to crank and uncrank it each time I wanted to use it. This hose is so easy to get out and it coils back nicely, saving space and improving safety.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
In my head I thought it would reach longer, but the hose attachment I have extends it the bit I need to reach the corners of the yard. I love not having to have a hose butler, the coil design contracts the hose up nicely after use.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Seems very durable but lacking in flexibility for easy watering.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
so easy to use in our small garen space.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
It was pretty much as advertised.
Would be OK for ourdoor use.
I was looking for a lighter weight that could
be used indoor and on the patio.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The hose is wonderful. The problem is that there is no way to get replacement parts. Right now the hose does not leak, the wand is fine but the trigger mechanism no longer works. All I need is that part which goes between the hose and the wand but no parts are available, no even the entire wand . Bad practice to sell items that can't be fixed by do it your self fixers.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The product description did not mention this is a mini-coil hose. I had just gotten the 50' hose and expected it to be the same. It was not.I decided to keep it anyway since it coiled nicely and was lightweight. But after the first use (in the sun for a few hours) it no longer retracts to it's original length - not even close. I didn't have it stretched to maximum length - just about 10 or 12 feet. I'm probably going to send this hose back because it is not worth the [$] it costs since it won't retract. I suppose if you never stretched it out for awhile, this might not have happened. However, what good is a hose if you can't stretch it out for awhile?
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I bought this hose for a small vegetable garden in the hopes that it would be easier to use around all the raised planters. It is very strong and heavy, and was difficult to handle. It got constantly kinked up and I was always having to mess with it. As a replacement for the light duty and inexpensive hose I had before it was a bust. It is strong and hefty though, so It might work for other uses.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I love the fact that it coils up so darn easy, but gosh, can't they make it longer? It barely goes to 50', and I mean, that's if you really stretch it and it's all tense and wants to spring back at that point. If your garden is any distance further away than about 25', I'd consider buying a different hose.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
difficult to stretch out to the advertised 50"..........but it is very pratical inside a lanai. minimal storage room.inside a large floer ot....just drop it in.
I am happy with it and ordered it specifically bec ause retail stores have only tin fittings and I wanted something substantial..........which thi sis.
Just ordered the birdfeeder wreath and can't wait..............pratical and functional and will look great.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Coil hose is used to water flowers and hedge. Recoils by itself ... no winding up needed! Easy and fast to use... In freezing weather needs to be completely drained and stored inside to preserve the hose.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
It's a wonderful product!! I love how it can stretch so far, and it's so easy to have it place neatly together. If it happens to get tangle it's very easy to untangle.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Watering my extensive container garden.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
No matter what, I'd rather have a coiled hose than a regular one. I like that they are retractable and so much easier to handle. Regular hoses get tangled up in a way that compares to Christmas lights (!) whereas coiled hoses still do get tangled but it's more like paperclips.
That's about the best way I can word it. So, you still deal with tangles, but I'd rather seperate paper clips that deal with Christmas lights, so I opt for the coiled hoses since they have other attributes that a regular hose does not.
They are very space saving and I like that! I don't have room for any more clutter than I already have!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I use the coiled hose in a basement sunroom. I can get just the right amount of water where I want it without many trips to a water source with a watering can. It's quick, easy, and efficient. Watering gets done in "jiff" quick time.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Replaced one purchased a year ago. Pin hole leaks developed over time - but we frequently stored the hose outside under pressure. Will try this season to be more careful about closing the faucet. If same result this time, we won't spend the money again. Hope it holds up, because it's a handy hose, especially with the watering wand we purchased at the same time.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
I've used this hose in our community greenhouse. It gets a lot of use, but has never lost it's coiling capability, doesn't tangle, and is a high quality product.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
This item seems pretty heavy duty and I am pleased that it seems to snap back compactly without tangling which has been a problem with other brands.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
I purchased these hoses because they are lightweight, and easy to use. They are great for anyone who has back problems.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Love the compact nature of the hose.
Easy and lightweight to use.
Just the right length and not bulky.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Love the flexibility and ease of storage!!

Comments about Coil Hoses:
This hose replaces a previous similar one. But this one is much better as it does not get tangled. It takes up very little space.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
I left this hooked up on the west side of my house and within a month the hose had cracked. I really loved this hose but if it won't withstand the Kansas sun then I will continue to look.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I can fill the birdbath, water the garden, wash the patio, and water the new trees with this hose. It doesn't kink.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I was very disappointed in this product. Everything else I have ever gotten from you was great. I just assumed I would love these and threw the packaging they came in away or I would of returned them. Couldn't even use them. The part that connects to the hose leaks terribly. I thought I paid alot for the 2 and can't even use them. Very disappointed. My husband looked at them and the area it leaks can't be fixed.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I love how it recoils and stays out of the way.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Excellent hose - reaches farther than I thought - I can cover my "small" back yard with it easily. I've had others that leaked right away - I've had this one for over a month and it's worked wonderful!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I find this hose very easy to use and storage is so quick, it's not even funny. Just use it and hang it, that's it. The coil extends farther than you expect, but I might get a longer one next time.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The compact nature of the hose works well to pull it down the center path of my garden to water the plants on either side then, coils neatly at one end
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I use this hose for both indoor and outdoor plants. It works really well for indoor. I was expecting it to be longer so it doesn't reach all of my outdoor plants easily, at least not without knocking stuff down inside the house. It is very lightweight and doesn't kink. For some reason, I thought it would come with a nozzle but mine didn't. All in all, it makes a very nice second hose, but I wouldn't get rid of my regular garden hose just yet.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I was really pleased with the coil hose that I bought several years ago, so I bought two more this spring. The new ones seem to have been made of different, perhaps cheaper, materials, and don't coil or stretch as well as the first one I bought. However, they don't leak and do perform satisfactorily, so I would give them a qualified recommendation.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
hose split first week. Can't repair,too difficult to mail back for refun.
unfotunate and costly item
Comments about Coil Hoses:
So easy to use. Even if you get it tangled it straightens out easily
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Use it to water hanging baskets on porch, and patio plants.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I ust this on my deck. It extends from one side to the other and does not get crimped because of the thickness of the hose. GREAT product.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I finally have a hose that doesn't get tangled and coils very nicely. Only wished that I had gotten the 50 foot hose instead of the 25 foot hose, so it could reach more of my plants.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I use it for the garden and washing the car and then it coils back up. TADA!!!!! your done.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The 50' hose when extended past about 25' tends to pull one back and makes it difficult to handle. I don't think it should be advertised as a fifyt foot hose as a doubt if one could get it
to extend the full distance. I have difficulty in keeping it our about 30 feet. Also when extended that length it does not recoil neatly.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
No longer do I trip over a hose left across the patio. This is the perfect garden hose for a neat freak!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Easy to use and move around.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
It is easiet to use than a standard hose.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
I was very pleasantly surprised to see how GS coil hose came with both ends of the hose re-enforced with heavy duty fittings and wire at the ends to keep it from kinking.
The hose is used in my front flower bed and I store it in a 4 inch PVC pipe my husband put in the ground for me. It even has a PVC cap with a handle.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The coil hose starts out nice and compactly coiled, but after even one stretching it only partially "rebounds" and requires a good deal of manual gathering to store compactly. It also kinks like a "slinky" or a coiled phone cord and requires untangling.
I suggest buying twice the apparently required length to avoid these irritating problems.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Streches to reach where its needed. Adjustable nozle covers all spraying needs. Must be untangled occasionaly.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
I have extremely large ferns on my front porch which stretches across the width of my house. I find it so easy to use on a daily basis without pulling out the garden hose. I wash down my porch and rockers daily and water the ferns daily. I also can spray the flower beds from the porch. My irrigation system doesn't do as good as this wonderful hose that I keep at the very end of my porch where it can't be seem, but handy to use. Love, love, love it!

Comments about Coil Hoses:
i like the coil effect and light weight
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Soooo happy with how easy it is to store this hose. I have a VERY small patio garden with hanging and potted plants and it is so much easier to water with this hose than a conventional hose that tangles and twists.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
It is helpful with many different tasks
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Recoils perfectly - no more clunky hosereels! I am going to buy two more to reach all of my large yard and the gardens.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
You are not going to want to use this. The fourth time I turned on the water to use this product it blew a hole about the size of a quarter in the hose. And, no, I do not have really high water pressure. I had a new regulator installed by plumber a while ago.
Every other product I have purchased from you has been great!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I use this in my front garden which has separate beds that I need to be able to snake a hose around many plantings without the hose crunching my plants- this lightweight hose snugs around my hose guards so I can water my entire garden! This has ended years of frustration!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
This is one of the better coil hoses I've used. No drips and holds up pretty well over time. coil hoses by nature seem to tangle pretty easy, but this one at least seems to be durable enough that you can easily pull it apart and it doesn't kink up.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Copper fitting is easy to attach to faucet; coil feature is nice; this hose is light weight and covenient to use. A well designed product!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I like coil hoses because they are easier to use for hand watering and easier to store than conventional hoses. My last coil hose, purchased from another company, fell apart at the faucet connection after only two years. I hope this one lasts longer than that!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Fit well into my garden layout. Makes it easier to reach areas that were difficult to reach before.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
Coiled hose from other sources have developed leaks, kinks and other problems. These are the best we've found.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I had a number of very long hoses and they took up quite of bit of space and were difficult to hide form view. This stretches pretty far and is nice and tight, easy to keep out of sight.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
All of my outdoor faucets are now sporting YOUR coil hose after trying other brands yours is the best!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I use this windup hose every day. It's light and easy to move anywhere. I bought another one for our side yard also.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I just had a hummingbird - butterfly garden planted in August. I was not able to use my old hose because it was so heavy. I have neck and back problems, and have lost some strength in my arms.I purchased the coil hose but had to buy a second hose because the distance is about 75 - 100 ft. It is very lightweight and comfortable for
me to use.My problem is that each hose is slow to recoil.It also intertwines, which takes time to "unravel". I need to find a way to store it so I do not always have to constantly unravel it to use it. I am really excited to use it next summer in my new garden. I definitely will be telling everyone about this hose, I think it will be great for older people and people with back and neck problems.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
This coiling hose is so convenient that I am ordering another one for our side yard.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
best garden hose bought this year
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The coil hoses are so easy to use, no more lugging a heavy hose around and getting it all tangled up, and they stay neatly out of sight when not in use.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I use it extensively on my patio. I also have another one in front to water a lovely pot I have by the garage. Then it coils right back up under a big azalea in my front bed, but no one can see it! Wish I'd ordered these years ago.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
It is compact and doesn't kink
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I was replacing a hose I bought several years ago. This hose is much lighter and already has a pin whole leak in the hose. This will not last very long
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Nice not to have the hose snaking across the balcony or to have to deal with a reel or bowl.
Just got it; can't testify to its durability yet.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I hate hoses - this is a nice one for a small garden.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The hose is sturdy and works well with the watering wand. I've used the hose for about a month now and I am happy with it so far. It recoils well, but I don't think it can be streched much.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I used to use those heavy, awkward roll-up garden hose carts, but not anymore. The coil hoses are so lightweight, easy to manage and portable. I have one located in each of my watering areas. It makes watering a pleasure.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Good because it is fairly compact and can be out, ready to use, without being an eyesore. It enables me to reach to all parts of the yard and garden.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
to water gardens in front of our home
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I move plants to the porch for the summer. The coiling hose stores more easily than a regular hose and makes watering less of a chore.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I have a small second story deck and was constantly tripping over the hose I used to water my deck plants. It would twist and flop everywhere. In frustration I bought a coiled hose and am ecstatic. Why did I wait so long. I will buy one of these for my grandmother who has the same problem.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Loved the condensed feature of this hose. Works well.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
This is my second coil hose, as I love the fact that I do not need to rewind a cumbersome hose.
One comment however: the first time I could buy racks to hold it, but don't see them in the catalog anymore.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I hate having to unwind and rewind our hose and this coil hose definitely helps.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I only wish it recoiled better. I bought one like it about 5 years ago and it's recoiling is perfect and I might add I'm still using this one.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I like this product until the fitting broke and I'm not able to repair the unit so I'm faced with sending it back - What a pain...
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Retracts well and is much neater than a regular hose. Useing my two in fromt yard and back yard.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
I've wanted one of these for a long time. I've run hoses to several locations in the garden and terminated them with quick connect fittings. I have equipped my coil hose with a watering wand and a quick connect fitting to mate up with the hoses.
The coil hose allows me to water all of my raised beds without dragging a hose through or accross the young plants, flowers and vegetables in the raised beds.
However, for this particular coil hose, there are two problems. First, the brass end fittings should have a larger inside diameter. These appear to be about 1/4 of an inch in diameter, and this substantially limits the water flow. The low flow substantially increses the amount of time it takes to water all the planting beds.
Second, the coil hose is equipped with a coiled spring wrapped around the hose at the female end as a strain relief. This spring needs to be more firmly affixed to the hose end, and there should be a such a strain relief at both end of the hose, rather than just at the ends.

Comments about Coil Hoses:
The hoses do tangle and are sometimes hard to straighten. After a while, they do not re-coil back into their original shape. Only last one season.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Because of the small diameter, not a lot of water pressure; works fine for watering flowers though. I got the 25' one, wish I would have gotten the 50' one.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I love this hose it reaches every part of my garden. In fact I am going to buy another one for my back garden.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
This is a good price to pay for a hose that won't kink or break or leak even with year-round use in So Cal. Others I've bought have lasted less than a year but this one has worked well for several years now and seems to get better with age.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The hose stretches to a use-able length but the coil makes it pull back which is annoying
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Coil Hoses:
After only one use, my hose no longer "rebounds," gets tangled easily and, in two places, no longer "coils." I was so disappointed....however, one should keep in mind that my son was the first user, and although a grown man, he is still a kid when it comes to hard labor at Mom's house!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I bought this hose thinking that it would be easier to maneuver around the yard than a conventional hose. Plus I liked the coiling from a storage perspective. I do like how much easier it is to store but the hose is too tightly wound that using it around the yard can be frustrating. In fact I find that it wants to spring back making it difficult to extend its full length without having to use some muscle power. :) While this hose doesn't kink, the coils do tend to get tangled meaning that you're adjusting it anyway. So, not the product I was hoping for but still useful.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
Well designed & efficient
Comments about Coil Hoses:
This hose is wonderful. I live in a condo and storage is at a premium. I purchased another hose from a local store, all it did was leak and coil in on itself! Then I saw this hose, needless to say the other ended up in the trash can, what a waste of time AND money!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
better than a rigid hose, but still kinks occasionally.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I like coil hoses. I bought one at a local hardware and it became detached from the fitting within a week. This hose is study and easy to use.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I have several of these kind of hoses,and I find them easy to put away,and out of sight.However,they DO kink now and then.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The quality of this hose beats all the competition. I bought a hose for each outdoor spigot to have it handy, not only because of its quality, but also because it takes up very little space. I keep each one inside a pot or other container.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I have three of these hoses for myself. I have also given them as gifts to my daughters.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Coil Hoses:
The hose can be awkward to coil back up but is great for watering my window boxes and container plants. It's lightweight so it doesn't drag over ground plants. Although the water pressure is less than a conventional hose, it's more than adequate for containers, boxes, and hanging plants.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I honestly don't know how this product made it out of quality assurance. When I extend it to its full length, half the time no water comes out because there is a kink somewhere.
If I put the hose down for a minute, it slides away from me.
But it never fully recoils. You still have to reel it in. And when you do, you have a big lump.
I would never recommend this product to anyone. I would emphatically recommend a conventional hose instead.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I just love this hose. No dragging a heavy hose around my garden.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I didn't realize how much more difficult it would be to stretch it to reach some areas of my garden without potentially damaging some of my taller plants. It is less bulky to store than a regular hose but it doesn't recoil as I thought it should. It does look much better that a regular hose.

[...]
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I loved this hose!!! However it sprung a leak after 1 week of use,Gardener's Supply was great to simply send me another one but that sprung a leak after about 3 months. I loved using it because you didn't have to "haul" on it, it never got all tangled up,and putting it back into the hose pot was so easy!! If it just wouldn't burst!!!

Comments about Coil Hoses:
Like how it coils. Makes storage easier than a traditional hose and hose reel.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I purchased this for my Mother-In-Law for her birthday, she is 81. She loves it! It is light, recoils like it says and is easy for her to manage. She still washes her own car and takes care of her flowers. Thanks for a wonderful product! I was not disappointed. K Goad
Comments about Coil Hoses:
This product is very handy in my front yard as I do not have a hose spigot at the front of my house. It tidies up very neatly when I am finished using it.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I use this to water my perennials, but it drives me crazy because it tangles pretty easily.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I am constantly pulling and lugging hoses all over our long narrow half acre yard. The coiled hose is great for this - it is lighter than our other rubber hoses, easy to position and really does return to storage neatly and easily. Get coiled!
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I've used the short version of this self-coiling hose and loved it, but the long version, which I bought, is less satisfactory. I use it for watering beds roughly twenty feet from the spigot and another bed that is a good sixty feet away, and around s corner to boot. I attach the coiling hose to a regular hose. The problem with the coiling hose is that it is always getting tangled in itself as I move it around the yard. Also it coils very loosely when I put it away. In retrospect, I should have gotten a lightweight hose for length and maybe the short self-coiling hose for easy watering.
The short coiling hose is WONDERFUL -- easy to use, is neat when stored. I love it.
Comments about Coil Hoses:
I love to water first thing in the morning before rushing off to work, this hose makes the job an easy one
