 Nice idea, but far too cumbersome. Sep 13, 2004
By DIYer
It looked like a good idea, a coiled hose, small "footprint", no tangling - just a "slinky" hose. However, not only is the hose prone to major tangling (one loop grabs the next loop or a loop 5 feet down the hose), but because it's coiled, one must place tension on the hose to keep it in place....although one can drag the hose and sprinkler to a location, if the location is even a foot further than the "resting stage" of the coiled hose, look out - the hose will spring back together, complete with the sprinkler in tow!
I've also found the water pressure to be affected (negatively) either by the actual size of the hose/tube or the fact that the water must be pushed through a myriad of circles/loops to find its way to the sprinkler/end of the hose. All in all, a major disappointment.

"3" means average, not bad Sep 02, 2007
By emceemk

Some other reviewers have complained about knots, etc., which will happen with any hose of this type-- you just have to decide whether the spiral design is worth the occasional hypercoil to you. It's not as hardy as the old-fashioned garden hose, again characteristic of this type, and not a manufacturing defect. I have several of these hoses and with my large yard I needed more length, which this purchase has adequately provided at a good price. It is not the most practical hose for a large yard, and had my spouse not thought it a clever design and trashed our other old hoses in favor of this design, I might have gone with a standard, ugly, hard to store, heavy garden hose. If you have a small yard and don't need a lot of power spray, this is a good hose for you. If you don't like to spend time keeping the hose away from sharp edges, figuring out whether the hypercoil is right- or left- handed as you undo the kinks, and wind it up 'just so' in a bucket for storage to keep the coils from relaxing, it's not for you.

Great Idea; poor execution; do not waste your money Jul 05, 2007
By RichardK01
"richardk01"
The idea of having simple coiled hose that avoids the hassel of storage is very attractive. That is why I bought two of them.
The reality is that the plastic is so soft and so subject to abrasion that even a slight bruising opens it to complete failure, especially in warm climates.
I used my two Plastair Coiled Springhoses once and they have multiple leaks - they are a complete failure.
If all you'll do is water flowers and the hoses never touch the ground or anything else except grass, perhaps they will be acceptable. However the slightest touching on the ground seems to be enough to cause catastrophic failure and a complete loss of value.
What a waste of money!

Poor Pressure - Disappointed Sep 12, 2007
By Joseph C. Wise
I found the pressure provided through this hose was to weak to adequately work with a watering wand. I have since purchased a much more expense version with Smith & Hawken and could not be happier. The S&H version does not kink and provides ample pressure. In this case, my experience has been that you get what you pay for.

 What a deal! Jan 31, 2007
By CC
What a space saver and I can get all the way around the house with three of them connected together. Great invention and fun to use. The plants like 'em too because they get watered more often. What a deal!
