TheFitLife Expandable Garden Hose 15 M, Flexible Water Hose with Nozzle

This hose was ordered and delivered the following day. The FitLifeEU had 95% of the washers and parts already assembled at both ends of the hose and I only had to screw one part onto my garden tap and plug the spray nozzle into the other end of the hose which already has the brass fittings on the howe. There were 8 settings on the spray nozzle which is very usefull. My favourite is the spray setting which is very powerfull but is so fine it didn't damage any of the flowering plants or dislodge the plums on out 7ft high plum tree. All the fittings were solid brass. it comes with fittings for both 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch taps. The instruction leaflet is very precise and allowed me to set everything up in about 40 minutes. There were no leakages when I used the hose. The hose itself expands to 100 feet when you turn the tap on and when you are finished watering and have turned the tap off is easy to coil for storage. If you want to store it next to your garden tap, Amazon do a range of wall brackets. This is a high quality product and is good value, as it looks to be a durable product. I recommend this product on my experience since I received it.

I've had a few of these types of expanding hoses. Generally they are great whilst they work but in the bin it they spring a leak - usually at one of other of the factory crimped ends. A useful piece of information: they used to be impossible to repair: unlike traditional vinyl hose, you can't simply cut it and pop in a new connector. Recently, manufacturers have introduced expanding hose repair kits - typically brass, in either 1/2 or 3/4 inch. You can buy them on Amazon. So this FitLife hose turned up today and I can see straight away that the engineers have been on this issue with the stress on the pipe connectors. These new ones are way longer and very well made. Time will tell, but it looks like this should survive a while. All supplied fittings, including spare o-rings (thank you...) are nicely made. Worth the money by the look of it.

So far, so good. Have only been using it for a couple of weeks. Leaks a bit around the spray head end, but this seems par for the course with all of these expandable hoses. I like the strong brass fixings though and it attaches firmly to the garden tap. It reaches right across my large garden without tangling and has a good selection of spray options. Not cheap, but does the job better than previous ones which had plastic fittings and thinner hoses.

I picked this expandable hose because I was tired of dragging a heavy hose around and dealing with knots every time I watered the garden. It expands fast once the tap is on and it retracts neatly when the water is off which makes storage much easier. The fabric outer layer also helps it glide over patio edges and grass without feeling fragile or to have the feeling it will break. The spray patterns are useful because I can switch from a gentle mist for plants to a stronger jet for rinsing the patio or washing the car in seconds, sometimes I even wash the car using this hose. I also liked that it comes with connectors so it was ready to use straight away and after a few sessions I did not notice any leaking at the joints. It is a handy option for watering, cleaning quick outdoor jobs and even rinsing the dog after a muddy walk and the best trick is letting it drain fully before putting it away so it shrinks down properly and stays compact for next time. Even after using it in the garden the actual hose stays intact and there is no damage from the stairs that I am keep moving it around

Brilliant hose. Easily changes settings and works perfectly in the garden. Once finished it’s light and easy to store. Very happy with it 😊

This is a great hose. The fittings are brass so very sturdy and no leaking.

Very displeased with this purchase. The hose doesn’t extend to its full advertised length, it only reached about 65ft and the nozzle leaked when at its maximum length. I cannot reach the pots at the bottom of my back garbed nor does it reach to my front garden. I didn’t have the same problem with my existing 3 year old hose, which has now developed pinhole leaks, therefore water pressure isn’t at fault. As the hose is not fit for purpose I planned to return it however the fitting is stuck fast onto my outside tap divider meaning I now need to buy another divider.

I love an expanding hose and would never go back to the normal type as its so much neater in my small garden. All have faults but of those I have had, this paricular one has proved the longest lasting. I have just purchased a second one after my first one went to hosepipe heaven after 3 seasons. So my review is based on having experienced a full life cycle. On the plus side the outer layer is sturdier than the 2 other brands I've tried. The brass fittings are decent so the hosepipe has never popped off my tap - however the ends are a tad tighter than standard so when my spray end started leaking and I bought one to replace it I had a pig of a time including several soakings (these hoses are lethal when free range) before I got it to finally stay firm. So the spray ends do leak eventually. I tried taping my first one up but it didn't work at all. This is not a hose you can use without a spray end on - its like fighting a serpent if you lose grip for a second. My tip would be to never throw away spray ends on old and broken hoses as you might need a spare! For almost 3 years this expandable hose had no leaks - i was very careful not to drag it across rough ground or round the legs of garden furniture. I also kept it indoors in winter. Then it developed one leak after another in the space of a few weeks - presumably due to deterioration of the inner rubber pipe despite my careful handling. . I bought a generic repair kit online - amazon do several - and with no little difficulty repaired the first two leaks. I gave up at the third on the basis it was going to keep happening and fixing the first two leaks had already cost me all my fingernails. Hopefully this second hose will last as long or longer than the first with no leaks but I bought the shorter version ( less pipe to spring leaks lol). The price has anyway gone up hugely so the short hose now costs as much as I paid for the long hose originally. A traditional hosepipe would be definitely be more economical, though less convenient for me so fingers crossed I'm not disappointed.

Wir haben schon mehrere dieser Schläuche im Einsatz. In der Handhabung sind die Schläuche wirklich unschlagbar. Kein umständliches aufrollen, wie bei einem herkömmlichen Gartenschlauch. Man hat nur eine Handvoll Schlauch in der Hand, den man wunderbar aufhängen kann. Auch die Verbindungen sind robust und mit Bajonettverschluss gut anzuschließen.

Ce tuyau d'arrosage a l'avantage d’être peu encombrant et léger. la quincaillerie qui l'accompagne est de bonne qualité. Le rapport qualité/prix me semble bon. Je l'ai essayé une fois et j'en suis satisfait mais bien sûr il faut voir son évolution à l'usage. Un conseil, pour éviter de devenir l'arroseur arrosé, avant de débrancher le tuyau, bien le purger après avoir fermé le robinet d'arrivée d'eau.

Habe geflucht wie ein Rohrspatz, ich konnte den Schlauch einfach nicht einklicken. Weder an der Armatur noch an die Brause. Nach ruhiger Überlegung (muss doch gehen) habe ich rausgefunden, dass man das Teil NICHT EINKLICKEN kann, wie bei Gardena etc. Man muss bei den Schlauchanschlüssen den Messingteil nach unten ziehen, die Anschlüsse einführen und dann den Messingteil nach oben schieben, dann geht es und zwar tipp topp und dicht. Da der Schlauch immer unter Druck sein muss ist da noch ein intelligentes Rädchen am Griff, mit dem man einen Wasserstopp machen und diesen von "nur wenig" Druck auf "ganz viel" Druck regulieren kann. Habe meine schlechte Rezession gelöscht, lag man mir, dachte muss wie Gardena funktionieren. Alles topp, vor allem das nicht mehr entwirren und entknicken ist super!!

It’s a hose for the garden and it works beautifully.

Il prodotto è leggero come descritto, ma la lunghezza max estendibile, con la normale pressione del rubinetto di casa, non supera i 20 mt. Sono informazioni che andrebbero riportate per evitare acquisti errati. Nota negativa che mi ha infastidito e non poco è che l'ugello con le 8 funzioni non è calibrato rispetto all'innesco e l'acqua fuoriesce copiosa, rendendolo di fatto inutilizzabile. Ho montato al pistola su un altro innesto e funziona. E' palese perciò che non c'è alcuna controllo e/o verifica funzionale. Peccato
