About XHose Expandable Garden Hose

This talk about the XHose expandable garden hose overs the growing hoses for lawn and garden purposes and we discuss our experiences with it here.  The X-Hose is indeed well-built, with rigid fittings and two-ply, flexible, and of course, EXPANDING hose pipe.

It has an inner rubber tube that does the bulk of the expanding and contracting, and an outer cloth (web) shell to help strengthen and protect the inner hose.

About XHose Expandable Garden Hose: Benefits, Features, Pros, and Advantages

Useful in Large Lawns and Gardens

For a 2-acre plot of land, a 75-foot long flexible garden hose like the XHose is helpful, although the 100-foot version is more useful in our yard.  It comes in 25, 50, 75, and 100 foot lengths.

Long Lasting Construction

It has a super strong rubber inner tube for greater strength and flexibility, along with an outer web shell for added strength.

About XHose Expandable Garden Hose: As Seen on TV, It Grows when you Turn On the Water

This as seen on TV hose expands (lengthens) when you apply water pressure to it, expanding up to three times its empty size.

It’s light weight when empty.  The 25 foot version weights just about one pound without any water inside.

Resists Linking, Tangling, Knotting, and Twisting

So you spend less time unraveling this shrinking water hose when you go to water your garden, wash your car, or hose down your porch.

Retains Flexibility Even when Full of Water

It’s also surprisingly flexible, even when pressurized.

Heavy Duty Garden Hose

Though a lightweight garden hose, they also dub this expandable hose as a heavy-duty.  But compared to the much thicker but admittedly less flexible, truly heavy-duty garden hoses I own, I’d classify this product as medium to light duty.  So it may be more susceptible to punctures and tears.

Non Slip Fabric Outer Surface

The texture of the outer jacket helps ease gripping of this collapsing water hose.  It’s not slippery; not even when wet.  Nor is it very rough.  So it will not cause abrasions on your hands when handling this hose for hours on end.

About XHose Expandable Garden Hose: Retracts Quickly Back to Original Dry Size

It contracts quickly back to its original size within seconds of turning off the water supply. It gets so small and light that you can hold the entire empty hose in your two hands.

Shrinks to Less than Half the Full Size

The 25-foot length of this garden hose shrinks to just 9 feet, the 50 foot version shrinks to 18.5 feet, the 75-foot version shrinks to just 28 feet, and the 100-foot version shrinks down to a mere 37 feet.

Less Effort to Drag this Hose Around

Its lightweight construction makes washing your car or watering your lawn much less of a struggle.  This collapsible hose is so much lighter (even when pressurized) than more conventional garden hoses.

Includes Shutoff Valve

It comes with a built-in on-off valve so that you can expand the hose by applying the water pressure, without spraying water all over the place, and without a separate nozzle that normally supplies the valve.  However, this valve could become cumbersome and a source of problems if you’ve already got a valve-equipped nozzle.

About XHose Expandable Garden Hose: Disadvantages, Cons, Problems, and Limitations

Durability and Ruggedness is Suspect

I’m not sure just how heavy-duty this expanding garden hose from XHose.  Since it’s so light, I’m skeptical about its long-term durability.

Expensive

Plus, the 75-foot version costs just as much as I paid for my FLEXON garden hose, and you must also pay additional costs for shipping and handling.

Only Available Online and by Phone

Not available in stores, and can only be purchased via telephone or the Internet.

About XHose Expandable Garden Hose: Warranty Terms Unclear

I could find no long-term warranty.

Washer May Fall Out

Be careful not to lose the sealing washer in the female end.  It can come out sometimes unexpectedly.

They recommend turning off and draining this garden accessory each time you use it in the user’s guide (link below).  This could become a pain, since I always keep a pressurized hose on standby during the summer in my yard, for rapid watering and cleaning.  Other hoses stand up better it seems, to this constant pressurization.

Susceptible to Heat and / or Sun Damage

Do not leave the retractable garden hose in the sun for long periods.  We suggest shade for this strongest garden hose, to keep it strong and durable for years to come.

For Cold Water Use Only

Not intended to conduct hot water.

About XHose Expandable Garden Hose: Do Not Store this Flex Hose Outdoors

Store this fabric water hose indoors during winter months, to mitigate the possibility of it freezing and developing leaks as a result.

Becomes dirty looking quickly.  Being made of a cloth-like fabric, this initially brightly colored hose can turn dingy and dull in appearance in short time.  Does not resist dirt well.  However, this does not impact its expandability or functionality in general.

Not Made in the USA

Made in China.

About XHose Expandable Garden Hose: Our Rating

The price seems a bit high for all the more material you get in this lawn hose.  But then again, I’m paying for it to have less material.  I’d rate this garden hose at 88 out of 100.  It’s very convenient but seems a bit cheap and gimmicky to me.  However, though a little pricey, it’s not so expensive that you should not try it at all.  Who knows?  You may find that its usability in your situation in fact, justifies the higher purchase cost.
