Customers Are Loving These Great Expandable Garden Hoses
By CARRIE BRADON
If you hate hauling around and winding up your regular garden hose, consider getting an expandable garden hose, which contracts when not in use and expands when filled with water.
Rated the best by customers, the Flexi Hose sells for $60 for 50 feet on Amazon. It has brass fittings and a double latex core and comes with a spray nozzle with eight settings.
Flexi Hose is covered by a lifetime warranty against normal wear and tear. Amazon customers generally like its performance and quality, saying that it’s easy to maneuver and store.
A more affordable option at only about $43 on Amazon is the Zero-G Ultra Flexible Garden Hose. While some customers claim it kinks and leaks, it’s covered by a five-year warranty.
The HydroTech ProSeries Expandable Burst Proof Hose is another budget option for about $45 at Home Depot. It’s 50 feet long with a ⅝-inch diameter and has a 10-year warranty.
This hose is compact enough to store in a bucket between uses, and many customers praise its light weight and strong water pressure, which is unusual for most expandable hoses.
