Easy to store.
I have both 3 hoses total. Easily screw them together for even more reach. Would never go back to the old heavy hose that cracks!
No - it doesn't retract/expand however, it's very light and easily coils up into an extra pot I'm not using. I have not had it 'kink' per se and if it gets a little tangled - one light whip motion and it's fine. Mind you, I don't crank our water on full blast as our outdoor spigot will put out mega high pressure. Also, I like that I can now use a sprinkler where as before with the expandable one, that wouldn't work.
To me, this is the best of both worlds. Tough as a regular hose yet light like the expandable types.
I've not had a problem with this hose leaking or connection issues but like I say, I don't crank the water pressure high as I don't need to. After 4 months of repeated dragging of hose along bricks to get where I'm going, I see no signs of fabric wear other then tiny bit of fuzz here and there but nothing detrimental.
FINALLY...a decent hose that I hope will last for years with proper care. I would buy again if this one holds up at least 3 seasons of my type of use. FYI: I do cover this when it's coiled up in the pot so the sun doesn't beat it up.
Well, what I have has behaved in a stellar manner (or I got lucky?) I will state due to my experiences and having a 'detached' garage...this grey wizardry is going to reside inside during the winter.
My last expandable hose grew pinholes at the sprayer connection when it was perfectly fine when I stored it in our garage - which was fairly shocking. Peeps, you just don't know how important a decent light hose is to me that isn't like dragging a ball and chain around or (surprise) blow a random geyser and you say to self "oh crap, another expandable hose for the landfill".
Still, since I need to add another hose to my collection, I'm going to roll the dice and buy yet another Zero G hose. I'll save all of the packaging so I can return it when, (or if) it fails. For a good, working hose it's easily 5 stars!
Top reviews from other countries
If you want something extremely lightweight and flexible, this hose checks those boxes. It has a tough nylon sheathing but I would not rely on dragging it over rough edges repeatedly. If you have rough stones and like to drag your hose care free, then stick with traditional rubber or synthetic. I have driven over this hose with my car a few times, so it has some durability.
This hose does kink, especially when pooled in an area. If you keep it pulled straight you shouldn't have issues, but if you start backtracking over your steps while watering, you will experience periodic kinks. Not to the point where water stops flowing, but you will notice pressure drops. A quick shake of the hose will correct it with ease, if that annoys you, then look at other brands. Also noticed kinks are more prevalent when you don't open the tap all the way. Under lower pressures it kinks with more frequency.
Reeling this hose in and hanging is super easy. When the water is turned off, the hose deflates and goes flat. You can bend it at any point with ease which makes hanging it super easy. No need to worry if its twisted and the hose fighting with you to make tight circles.
Pros:
- Lightweight and super flexible
- Easy to manuever and hang
Cons:
- May kink from time to time
