I’m not the most patient person but after seeing this hose fail twice and the other issues such as the cheap sleeve, the plastic connectors, the lousy nozzle which I could only use at the “wide spray” setting and the horrid colour, I gave up. In other words, if I wanted to create a jet of water from the nozzle, it would come out so fast that the pipe shrank from 15m to 5m in less than 30 seconds.

It didn’t come with a reducer so “out of the box” it won’t fit smaller tap sizes (there are two tap sizes in the UK). It did come with a reducer for fitting to smaller outside taps (there are two tap sizes in the UK). The outer sleeve of the hose left me wondering how long it would last. I can’t imagine getting years of use if it’s frequently dragged over concrete, patios or gravel etc. The only way for me to keep the hose pipe fully expanded was to open the nozzle slightly so the rate of water exiting the pipe was the same as it was entering from the tap. After my second visit to B&Q, some waiting around and armed with a replacement product, I continued my test but within minutes noticed a leak about 6 inches down from the tap.

I disliked the colour, and as it doesn’t come with a reel, I’ll have to look at it draped over the tap whenever I’m in the garden. The spray nozzle is the basic version, and unlike some competing products, it doesn’t come with a spray gun or an inline tap which I feel every expandable hose should have. Longer versions of expandable pipes can be cumbersome when full of water and difficult to drag around.
