Looks good Nigel. I've been using this type of hose since I got my allotment. Convenient for me as we are not allowed to leave hosepipes on the site! I quickly realised that the ones with plastic end fittings were useless so 4 years ago I went for a brass fitting one. I bought a decent spray nozzle with an adjustable flow setting (a proper valve), and I turn this down to a minimum when first squeezing the trigger. This stops the massive release of pressure from blowing away whatever I am watering. Obviously, I adjust this as needed during use. Good review buddy!
@@MuddyBootz Trying not to sound negative, but even if they do break - so do "classic" hoses. I was fed up with cutting back the hose on my Hozelock one where the nozzle lost its grip. And the classic hose hardens in the sun after time!! I've mastered the habit of stopping using the expanding hose just before I need to so I can finish off with the stored pressure when the tap is turned off.
Hi Nigel, I’ve used one of these before, I thought it was great, until it did exactly what you said and started to leak 8 weeks after I bought it, and I drain it down every time i used it, so I will keep an eye out for your updates on this product, many thanks for sharing, kind regards alan………………THE DAWN CHORUS PLOT 🌿
Hi Alan, I have mentioned in a few other comments, proof of the product will be how it performs on the allotment from now on. Although this was supplied free of charge, should any issues arise within the 5yr guarantee period, I will be pursuing this and sharing on here for all to see. Three weeks use so far and no complaints. 😊 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Hello Steve, three weeks of use and first impressions are good. 5yr guarantee is a big plus and also a UK address for any issues 👍 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Hi Nigel, Looks a very good high quality hose with some good fittings, I know hozelock do a hose like this I have an X hose that is about 3 years old but I only use when I clean the car and in the summer to water all the hanging baskets and pots. All the Best. Waynes Allotment.
Hello Wayne, I previously have had X-Hose and it burst 😔 This will be solely used on the allotment and so will get plenty of wear & tear. It will certainly put the 5Yr warranty to the test 👍 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Hello Babette, I intend to use this on my allotment from now on so It will get at good workout, highlighting any issues that arise along the way. Many thanks for watching 😀 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
I would have bought this hose if it was available to me in Australia, however, I think that the transport cost would be prohibitive. Shame really, but I might be coming home in the near future and i look forward to this hose. At 72 yo, I still yearn for my allotment after what seems too long. Well presented video. Looking forward to your assessment in the future. Good luck for this years growing. :)
Many thanks for watching, it has the best back-up regarding warranty I have ever seen for this type of hose 👍 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Thanks Nigel - ordered a 100 foot hose as a direct result of your review and the 10% extra discount was very welcome - thank you. Fed up with buying one every year like the one that burst an hour ago cleaning my car - lasted one year and 2 weeks !!. Shaun - Higham Ferrers
Its still going strong - the one issue I had it wasn't as long as stated ! Guess what - they sent me an extension hose and joiner - amazing!@@UnseenSpirit
Hello mate I had the same problem as you the pipe burst next to the connection so it was rendered useless the pipe had to be thrown away. But you’re one looks better quality and it will be interesting to see if it does work with a pressure washer because mine didn’t it was a different make though. All the best Nic 👍
Hi mate, their website shows it being used with an industrial pressure washer. I will try in on my Karcher K5 and film it 👍 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
I went to look at the T-Hose and before you know it, I bought it! Also, it was shipped so quickly it was here at my home in Seattle in a few days! Better than Amazon!
Thanks for your review Nigel,I to have had a few off these type hoses ,however I ordered the 100 foot hose and it seems very good quality,this is coming from a plumber in Scotland , I am going to order a valve so I can change from a hand spray to a lance for baskets etc as I’m fed up making up my own connectors,I will watch over time how your hose does compared to mine,thanks once again and happy gardening,may your plants grow strong 🌿🌸🌹🍄🌼🌻🌞🌞
Hi Nigel Great review mate. I have one similar on the allotment and get on with it great until someone else turns the tap on and I loose water pressure then it is like a tug of war with a hose pipe. I have just bought a 35m Gardena Roll box hose for the back garden and thinking about taking my old manual wall mounted one down the plot and bolt to side of shed. Take care mate. Will contact you in week. 👍👍👍👍👍
Every expandable hose I've had has ended up in landfill so will be interested to see how you get on with this one. The 150% guarantee is an interesting one do they offer to take the defective hose back so they can recycle it rather than you having to put in the rubbish?
Hello Phil, not sure what they do with returns. The 5 years warranty is a big plus for me, so time will tell 👍 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Hello Eric. When comparing products they need to be done like for like. The 5 year guarantee and quality metal fittings make this stand out against others I have had. Time will be the judge as I use it on my allotment from now on 😊👍🏻 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Expandable hoses are such a good idea ,but i have tried 2 different brands ,one split just after a year and a cats claw went through the other one in under a month ,i know the cats claw wasn't anything to do with the product failing ,but they are just too flimsy and not cheap either ,gone back to a traditional one .Hope you get a long life out of that one .
Hello Tara and welcome to the channel 😀 With a 5 years warranty I will be happy to put it through its paces on the allotment. I have never previously had this type of hose where you can get defects addressed 👍 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
I have had one of their boxes for a good whistle now doing lands caping and building work it is also good for low pressure areas for running a power wash let it swell to increase the pressure I got 75 feet £140
Hello Frank... one of my best view seasons so far.... some promising riders coming through the ranks. Nice to be back to 'norm' after 2 years disruption. I must be a sadist... I love the cobbled classics!! Eurosport coverage has been brilliant. Looking forward to The Monument Classic... Liege-Bastogne-Leige (The Old Lady) on Sunday 👍 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
i use an expandable hose, nigel. for me, personally, they are not a good idea. i end up rolling over them in my chair which has caused a couple of leaks. the biggest problem is the snaking of the hose when the tap is turned on. it has wrapped around my wheels on a couple of occasions. my daughter has had to release me................brian
I can understand that Brian. I have had issues with conventional hoses like stopping when kinked and also very difficult to uncoil and recoil when they are cold. Like most thing in life you can get varying quality in what appears to be the same item.. they are a UK company and easy to contact. The outer casing on this expandable hose is much thicker than the other 2 I have wrecked and also the 5yr warranty is something I have never seen before on one of these. I will be using it on the allotment from now on, so what better test 😉👍 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
@MuddyBootzAllotment I'm looking to give this hose a try having had past disappointments but I can't see where it says 5year warranty on their website. This is rather what they have: All hoses are covered with a 1 year warranty.
when you disconnect the hose. turn the tap off then release any water left in the pipe via the spray, unless you want a soaking by the back pressure. lol..............brian
I've had 3 of these. First one sprang a leak half way along. I thought it was where I took it round the brick corner of the house. Bought another, but this split next to the tap connector within weeks, despite me being very careful. The third was a super duper double priced one purchased for my 90 year old mother in law because her normal hose was too heavy for her. Another waste of money, unfortunately. Thrice bitten ....
Things that look the same are not necessarily the same. Take a look at the T-Hose TrustPilot reviews. This one has a 5yr guarantee. I can only assume all of yours didnt???? 🤔. I produce reviews trying to remain independent, highlighting features which may be beneficial to viewers before making a purchase of their own. If there are issues in the future I was raise them as I use the product during the year. No better test than actual living proof 😊 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
@@MuddyBootz Yes, I should have been clearer that I referred to other brands. I would really like it if they had invented one which does the job properly because whilst they are working there are advantages. Look forward to your reports.
Hello and welcome to the channel 😀 It is very difficult to please every viewer, I personally would rather have something than awkward blank spaces 😀 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
Hi Mark, I try to produce reviews totally unbiased but highlighting features that appeal to me. Only using it over time will tell. I will be using it on my allotment and see if it performs where other expandable hoses have failed. The 5yr guarantee from a British company and also the quality brass fittings make it stand out so far from other versions I have tried. 😀👍 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
@@MuddyBootz Very portable, never tangles, verg light, and slides like a snake wherever you need it....I have 150 ft. Got rid of that expandable hose, and rubber ones. Only use stainless steel hoses since 3 years, never break, very slick! Never will use anything else again! PS they are more expensive, but worth the money!
@@tannenbaumgirl3100 I have seen stainless steel hoses advertised on QVC and the reviews/feedback has not been too good, but like most things they vary in quality. Can you supply a link please to the ones that you use, and also what gaurentee do they have ? 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
I assume the ones you had didn’t come with a 5yr guarantee from a British company? Like you I’ve had similar disappointing issues with similar cheap versions. Check out the reviews for this on T-Hose on TrustPilot... Not all things that look the same are the same. Only time will tell by using it on my allotment for all to see 😉👍🏻
i bought one of these in 2020 and since then a couple other hoses around mine and my parents have broken. One being a (hozelock toughhoze)!! this bad boy has never missed a beat. I'm now recommending it to everyone as for me i never recommended anything till I've had it a while. anyone looking at these i say you won't regret it 🤟
