I have tried 2 hoses & 1 burst & the other leaked at fitting, I love the idea but want one that lasts,Yours is more expensive - is it also fragile?

Yes! I think because the connections are plastic none of them will last very long. Mine lasted 3 weeks.

Yes, I bout the black 1 w/brass fittings, 1 of them lasted about 3 months then tore @ the coupling, the nozzle end & the other 1 is still working. I have been using all suggested precautions.

Mine broke today. The plastic fitting separated from the hose and soaked me.

Not sure exactly what you mean. I have never had the hoses break at all and I have had 3 of these in a period of 8 years. One the dog chewed up. I have had one just recently spring a pin-hole sized leak which I fixed with one of the little plugs. I have had the sprayer heads stop working. Sorry if I can't be more helpful. If the system is within a year old, I would ask Nelson for a replacement as that particular one might be defective.

I too had problems with it leaking. I am not using this, but went back to a plastic hose coupler. not perfect, but better that this device. G

I think the key to flex hose is NEVER leave the water running and the nozzle off.. The hose isn't made to hold the force of water and you close your nozzle at the end and then your water pressure splits the hose. Mine has lasted more than one season, but I read and followed the directions

Sorry to say, my first hose by the second day had two small pin hole leaks and that afternoon the hose totally bust near the collers while I was rinsing of the salt water from my boat. After that I thought maybe it was a fluke and I did get the one with the brass fitting, but it lasted 7 days. Like I said there is a warranty, but it's not really free replacement if you have to pay S&H; every time. And besides if it keeps breaking? who in the world wants to keep returing it? It's to bad, because it is a great idea for a hose, just not strong enough with the current materials.

Its like any other hose, my only problem was it leaked terribly at the nozzel, no matter what we did you got soaked when you turned it on and water was wasted.....

I didn't have that problem, and I dropped mine plenty of times. There were other issues with leaking, but not that. I did try to contact them to ask about issues, and I couldn't find a contact number or email address, so you're on your own with it unless you can find a way to contact them.

For a hose that costs this much first of all we should not all be having these issues and yes, we should all be getting replacements under warranty! Most have broken after 30-120 days, we aren't talking a few years here...

Dont know mine broke !!!! where you connect to the hose its made of plastic and not a replacable piece not worth the money !!

I had one that did that. return it asap! It can't be fixed. I've had three. One failed the second time I used it, doing what yours is doing. The other sheared open along a 4 foot length of hose and the water poured out there. The only one I've had that has lasted is the one made by Rumford. The other two were useless!

The company does have a replacement clause in their warranty. Keep your receipt. I wouldn't advise buying this hose at all though.... they fail at the connectors. If you buy two 25 foot hoses, the likelyhood of you having an issue is higher with four connectors that could fail. I had three 50 foot hoses, they were replaced several times, they all failed. I'd advise to buy something else other than this hose. It's a good idea, but not well made.

This hose has no guarantee, and it probable that it is going to burst. Had three similar hose all three have bust

I like the power washer, but the fitting does leak, I was going to purchase one of those fittings, I wish I had a sulotion. If you find something please let me know. Thanks!

I did not try. I have a large garden and stay very busy once it starts yielding. I have always gotten a long life out of garden hoses. My son-in-law tried to fix. He has one and was able to tighten the connection end of the hose. He was not successful with mine. I actually forgot about this hose since my father also tried to fix the hose.

Yup. Same thing here. They are just stock hoses. They are always terrible though. Invest in some good nommar ones

Ours lasted for about 2 months then exploded. The fitting did not seem to be the issue but the hose itself was obviously faulty. Many other reviews said the same thing. Amazon needs to cease selling this product.

That's a good question. I don't really know, but I returned my second pocket hose today with no problem. I'm still waiting for my third pocket hose to spring a leak. Be sure you check out the over five hundred complaints on this pocket hose. I didn't. Good luck. P.S.,I got my money back today.
