Product Information

This works because there are two tube layers to an expandable hose. The central tube is made of extra-strong latex and the outer tube is of polyester fabric. Both expand when the water fills them up. What’s not to like about this expandable garden hose? For a start it’s got a lifetime guarantee that it seems they are actually honouring. That’s confidence in your product right there, and yes you did read that right, I know of people claiming a year after buying and still getting replacements. It’s priced very well for the quality (brass hose connectors aren’t cheap). Just take a look at the link provided to be sure. Using quality brass connectors brings another advantage. It significantly reduces the amount of water you have dripping and leaking around the garden. The manufacturer offers a lifetime guarantee which left me sceptical as any product that expands and contracts will fail at some point due to wear and tear. I’ve since read a few forum comments where customers have stated they will only replace the product once. How I Tested This Hose Whether you’re after a jet, cone, or shower, the 9-pattern spray head comes well equipped. You can easily move between pet cleaning, plant watering and car washing with a simple twist.

A good expandable hose can be a smart buy if you’re someone that gets frustrated with having to manhandle heavy rubber hoses, twisting out kinks and trying to find a good space to store them, but there are a few things to know before you make your purchasing decision. As with the other hoses I dragged it over different surfaces, inflated and deflated it several times and left it fully inflated for 30 minutes to test its waterproofness. I also used it to water my plants and lawn. No Spray Gun or Nozzle READ NEXT: The Best Automatic Retractable Garden Hose Reels What factors make an expandable hose more durable? The best expandable hoses (such as the HmiL-U one in this review) last 1000-1500 uses. This is the top end of durability. Best alternative: The FitLife Expandable Garden Hose Pipe or the ANSIO Garden Hose Pipe Expandable Water Hose These happen to have the best 100ft hoses in my opinion too. [tested and proven personally] This is as heavy duty and close to commercial quality as you’ll get here.Now, let’s talk about the spray gun. The polished plastic construction is paired with a soft-grip handle for a comfortable watering experience, it really is a great piece of kit, better than some of the other alternatives that come with an expandable hose. The water flow control knob on the handle allows for seamless adjustments, while the 10 spray patterns cater to all your gardening needs, from rinsing down the car to watering pots and containers, and the mist spray pattern is excelent for watering seedlings. The FitLife expandable hose is available in 4 sizes- 25m, 50m, 75m, and the largest is 100m. These lengths are the maximum the hose can be expanded too under high water pressure, but with average pressure you should expect less than that. Still, a 75m or 100m model should be long enough for most gardens regardless of pressure.
Like the ANSIO expandable hose, this model comes with high quality brass fittings and a spray gun. The spray gun has 8 different sprays to choose from and each work well with a good level of output pressure-wise. When the hose is retracted it measures just over 8ft and when fully expanded it measures about 24ft making it the smallest hose on this list. This is almost three times the size of the hose therefore, you can be sure that you have enough room to move around. It may not be the longest in this review but it makes up for it in the quality of material used.

Enjoy effortless watering with the ergonomic, thumb-controlled spray nozzle with ten versatile spray patterns to match task at hand. The Ansio expandable hose comes with a 9 spray setting spray gun offering you decent versatility. There are lighter sprays for watering plants and bathing the dog, and more focused jets for cleaning off harder surfaces. TheFitLife hose also has a 180 day risk free service so you can buy, knowing you will be able to test it out and make sure you’re happy without losing money. Expandable garden hoses are excellent, versatile tools for numerous outdoor tasks. Here are some of our favorite alternative uses for a hose.

I like that the hose has a double latex core and a high strength polyester silk on the outer surface of the hose which makes it lightweight but durable.

All expandable hoses can with a sprayer but some are better than others. Both the HmiL-U unit and the Crenova come with spray guns with a wide range of spray patterns to choose from. In addition, sprayers made from metal or rugged plastic are more durable and ergonomic than those made from thin plastic. Water pressure and temperature For most medium-size gardens, a 30 m expandable hose will be perfect. These hoses only measure around 10 metres long when not in use, so, as you can imagine, they’re easy to store and help with conserving storage space. In a large garden, a 45 m hose will give you plenty to work with. These retract down to approximately 15 m. Before buying an expandable garden hose, it’s important to consider what features you require in your model. In this buying guide, we will break down the length, hose material, and other factors that we think are most critical to choosing a quality hose for your home. Hose Length Accessories are a must when it comes to hoses. There are brands that do not offer accessories and that is a shame because you just want to use the hose right out the box. Brands that do offer accessories come in handy as the accessories elevate the user experience. Some of the common accessories include adapters, storage bags, hose hangers and couplers among others. These accessories allow you to use and store your hose with no problems. You would be surprised that a bit of peace of mind goes a long way.

Plastic fittings: Plastic fittings are typically more affordable but less durable than alternatives.

Hmil-U have created a hose that is both durable, with sturdy brass fittings and a non-kink rubber interior, and flexible. It is still easy to navigate around the flowerbeds even with its reinforced design. The 50ft I tested seemed most comfortable at about 12 metres – yeah I could have kept on pulling, but you can see how taunt this is already: My Expandable Garden Hose, Upgraded 3-Layer Latex Hose Pipe stretches to 12 metres comfortably but could go beyond the 15 metres if needed – not that I would push it Though not the hose, the sprinkler will be a big deal for you – it’s lovely and if you’ve only ever used a sprinkler with a lever, this variable control will be a big step up.

As a friendly reminder, make sure the working water pressure falls within the normal range of 3-12 bar/43.5-174 PSI. My tests show that water pressure of 3 bar expands the hose by 90%, while pressure greater than 4.5 bar fully expands it. Emergency uses: An expandable hose can serve as a temporary water source for tasks like extinguishing small fires or flushing wounds. They’ve developed a newer style of trigger too since I last tested and bought an expandable hose. Rather than a trigger they have a switch that varies the power of water pressure. You can easily water seedlings with this type of switch. I found it very handy: The newer style switch is very nice to use on expandable hose pipes
