Hozelock Superhoze 30m

I've already used the shorter 'Hozelock' 15 metre expandable hose for over a year for rinsing down my car after wash/waxing it, and have been so impressed that I decided to get the 30 metre length for watering my back garden too. It is more durable than appearances may lead you to believe and fits all 'Hozelock' attachments, of which I already have quite a few. As long as there is no closed valve at either end of the hose when you've finished using it the hose will retract, evacuating water left in it, quite quickly and efficiently. Storage then becomes a doddle as it reduces down to comparatively nothing, is so light that a child could carry it, and will never 'kink-up' to block water from running through it when used throughout it's life. Having had that kinking problem too many times in the past (even with hoses that were purported not to do that) I thoroughly recommend this retractable hose. What I tend to do is to connect up to a faucet (tap) with a 3 metre length of the conventional 'Hozelock' hose, just to get clear of any potential snagging points and angles near my particular faucet, then connect this expandable hose to the end of that. It works a treat for me and is so much less of a faff to use than lugging the conventional variants about. Eamonn

Having deliberated last year I decided to buy this hose as it's made by such a reputable company who specialise in garden watering products; it takes a bit of getting used to as it doesn't 'behave' like a conventional hose but it's really easy to use, can be readily stored back in its box when dried out or takes up very little room if left out by the tap. The only thing to remember is that once you've turned the supply of at the tap end there will still (of course) be water in the hose which means unless you let it run out, by watering until the supply stops, the hose won't collapse and therefore stays rigid and cannot be coiled up. BUT after just a couple of uses I am very impressed, so impressed in fact that I have reeled in my conventional hose to be stored merely as a spare!

I first bought this product in 2018 and was initially impressed by the ease of use and storage over conventional garden hoses. I gave it four stars back then. Some months later and despite careful use it sprung a leak. Amazon replaced it promptly and without quibble. I treated the replacement too with kid gloves, storing it safely when not in use. In recent days I hooked it up to the tap and waited for the pressure to build in the hose before turning it on. Seconds later it deflated. Thinking the connector had burst from the tap, I was surprised to find the hose had ruptured half way along its length. As much as I prefer this type of hose to the cumbersome alternative I won't be buying another. Essentially it's a great idea that the components fail to sustain over time.

We bought two of these 30m hoses so that we could join them together and cover the whole garden. They are so easy to carry about and clip together easily. The pressure does not seem to be affected by the additional length. They expand as the water fills them and can be pulled about easily once full of water as they are just as sturdy as a standard hose. The best bit is that, once finished with, you turn off the water but the hose continues to be functional at the same pressure until empty. It gradually shrinks to its original size and is again easily portable. Fantastic. There is one downside with the ones we purchased, there is a bit of leakage at the tap. Addendum: Have now had 2 of these hoses for 11 months. At this moment in time 3 of the 4 ends are leaking profusely and nothing we can do will stop it. The connections are supposed to be guaranteed leak free but that is certainly not the case with these two. I am awaiting a response from Hozelock.

Previously using a standard Hozelock reeled Hoze which drove me mad with kinking and faff of winding/unwinding. That coupled with the lack of an outside tap meant we have to use a mixer tap adapter (also Hozelock and very good) and either run it from downstairs toilet or from kitchen sink and out the window which was a bit of a nightmare with the old Hoze as it was cumbersome and I was always worried about it leaking. With this new Hoze it's miles easier. Plug and spray, easy to store and great for getting to all areas of the Garden (water supply is only at front of the house). It feels well built, looks the part and easily folds back into the packaging tub for compact storage. Only negative is that it doesn't come with instructions and you have to visit the hozelock website to d/l a PDF which has some pretty key after care instructions to ensure it stays in good condition ***Edit - Just realised that the instructions are printed on the inside of the sleeve that covers the tub it comes in. It's just not very obvious*** Overall it's a great piece of kit and so long as it doesn't burst like some of the other reviews have recounted, I'd happily recommend to anyone.

I love these expanding hoses, but having now purchased around 4 of them, and treated them all carefully, they only last me about one and a half seasons. They all fail in the same way. There you are enjoying watering your garden, when you notice a little fountain coming out of your hose, very quickly the fountain gets bigger and bigger, untill you’re losing all your water. I’ve tried fixing them, but it’s practically impossible. More drastically, the inner tube just bubbles out of the yellow hose jacket and simply explodes. Harmlessly I have to add! So great product, but don’t expect more than two seasons and you won’t be dissapointed.

When I was researching flexi-hoses, reviews seemed to be at one extreme or the other, with the negative reviews all raising the same concern that the hose soon ruptured. I ordered a long hose (30m) and, with this in mind, I have been as careful as I can when using it and I try to avoid dragging it over any rough area such as step edges etc. I wanted to wait a while before posting a review so that I got a good number of hosing sessions under my belt first. Bottom line – I think it’s great! I have had no problems with any ruptures and the hose extends easily to full length when the water is turned on, and similarly shrinks again when the water is off and the hose is emptied (I get about 30 seconds of watering until the hose is empty). My hose came in a tub with a carrying handle so, after use, I simply coil it back into the tub ready for next time. I deliberately picked a Hozelock hose so all of my hose attachments can still be used. One point of note – I have a 3m length of ordinary hose attached to my garden tap with a female Hozelock female adapter on the business end. I can use this length of hose with a nozzle for watering plants around the patio and, for the main garden watering, I attach it to my flexi-hose with a male/male Hozelock adapter since the flexi-hose itself comes with a female Hozelock adapter. Hope this tip helps.

I bought this as it is the best HOZELOCK, but I used it and when I had finished it did not return to the shrink size, so not pleased, so put it in a bowl, had words with other people and they said that they all gave up in time, however the next day the bowl where I put the hose was full of water, so it was not the hose it was ME I did not release the water from the hose, I did feel stupid as this is the first thing I should have thought of, but the brain does not always kick in when you are in your 80's. I can highly recommend this item, and as I live in a flat it saves me having to lift heavy watering cans, and is easy storage.

Déjà acheté il y a un an..Plus cher, certes, mais bien mieux que les clones chinois précédents !! Et puis bravo la garantie 5 ans.. J'ai eu un petit pépin et j'ai été remboursé sans aucune discussion !! Du coup j'ai racheté le même car je fais confiance à la qualité produit. Comme dit une amie : "Je n'ai pas les moyens d'acheter bon marché " ! !

Dopo poco tempo di utilizzo aveva già riscontrato dei problemi stando molto attenta a non tirarla o a prenderci dentro sugli spigoli. Dando acqua si rigonfiava in alcuni punti e impediva la fuoriuscita dalla doccia, solo insistendo nel far ricongiungere i vari elementi che la compongono dentro la stoffa qualche volta avevo esito positivo. Da tempo sono senza in quanto èdefinitivamente esplosa. Ne sconsiglio l’acquisto

Nach einem wunderbaren Sommer mit viel Regen und wenig Giessbedarf im Garten kam der Schlauch erst die letzten Tage zum Einsatz - leider zu spät um ihn zurückzugeben. Denn der Aquastop hält was er verspricht - es kommt kein Wasser. Bin sehr enttäuscht, weil ich nicht einmal den Verkäufer mehr kontaktieren kann??? Anfälliges Produkt, das nicht hält was es verspricht - nicht zu empfehlen

Le rangement de ce produit est super pratique. Une fois le robinet fermé et l'eau évacuer, sa toute petite taille et la boîte de rangement permettent de le caser dans un recoin du garage. Tellement plus pratique qu'un tuyau classique

alles Bestens, gerne wieder
