After years of fighting with heavy duty hoses that don't exactly roll properly on the hose reel even though they are supposed to fit, are constantly kinked so matter how kink-proof they claim to be, and spring so many leaks they look like soaker hoses, I finally have one that is 100' but fits and rolls nicely on the hose reel. While summer and gardening is not exactly in full swing, I believe that I have found my dream hose. I will be purchasing another for the back yard.
Loving this hose. It's very flexible, doesn't kink, is lightweight and doesn't leak at the connections. Awesome product that we look forward to using for many years (unlike the rubber hose we had that was only 3 months old and burst!)
I like the idea of the stainless steel outter covering on the hose. It keeps it from getting crushed and inner linings being destroyed if it gets run over. The BIGGEST downside to the hose is the poor quality of the hose fittings. The connector to the faucet doesn't spin very easy wanting to spin the hose when rotating the fitting on the faucet. And, it is very shallow can't be fastened to some connectors.
I reeled this thing up as soon as I got it and do love it. No leaks, good seal, and it works well in the hidden reel because it's more flexible than a typical hose. My only complaint is that it's a 1/2" diameter, and there is a dramatic difference in flow coming down from typical 5/8" hoses. Honestly, I didn't even notice that it was smaller when I bought it, but that's on me for not paying attention. Great product!
This hose is the answer to my prayers! I have arthritis in both my hands and a standard rubber hose is very hard to hold and maneuver especially in cold weather. The Aqua Joe stainless steel flexible hose is the easiest most comfortable hose to handle for my painful arthritic hands. Highly recommend! Thank you Aqua Joe!

The best hose I've ever owned!!!

And I've owned many... including the type that supposed to shrink up when you turn off the water. What I like most about this hose is that it doesn't get stuck under your car tire so easily when washing our cars and its easy to reel in after your done using it. Works great with the Sun Joe quick connectors too!
It's an easy to handle, lightweight alternative to an old rubber garden hose that was so heavy it was tedious to use. Both easy to coil up when we're done using it and easy to uncoil and flip over obstructions in the garden.
