About this deal
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. This means you are less likely to accidentally stand on it and risk splitting or damaging the expandable material.

They are perfect for the modern family home, as they require minimal effort. The last thing you want is a hose left out on the floor to trip over.You need to look after this hose, keep it out of harsh summer and winter weather or it will get damaged and split. Only available in 100ft – might be a bit too long and get in the way in small gardens when is expands to 100ft. Once fully shrunk down, they can usually be stored in a small tub, basket or bag, which is very useful if you have a small garden or a small shed / garage to store it in over winter.

The other real benefit is that they are very lightweight compared to regular hoses. They do not need a reel or to be wall mounted either. The spray gun has 9 functions, like most other expandable hoses. So you can delicately water your seedlings but also blast your car. It comes with brass fittings which are known to be more robust that plastic connectors when it comes to expandable hoses. This is great because a lot of the expandable hoses only come in the largest 100ft lengths – (which puts them at risk of ending up coiled on the floor and accidentally getting trodden on!) The tap connector piece has a two way water flow valve so you can use the hose on one nozzle and fill up a watering can with the other hole.
Has a tough polyester fabric on the outer of the hose – much better at protecting from rogue thorns or holly! A typical lightweight expandable hose can easily be held in one hand and carried – making them ideal for the elderly, or people who would struggle to manoeuvre a heavy bulky hose.
