It burst open right at the connection to the faucet the first time I used it. I got a refund but at a waste of my time.

This hose is probably OK with really light use, any significant water pressure will blow the connection off the end of the hose, that is what happened to me and gave my wife a quick shower, she was not happy with me or the hose.

I love the hose! I had a different brand that only lasted a summer...the inside plastic liner ruptured. I'm hoping this one is stronger. But for the price...one summers use is okay with me, since I love the hose. I hate winding up old stiff green hoses and pulling them around the yard. This one is perfect for my needs as a single woman.

I purchased 2 and returned both...they lasted about 4 days and then burst. Sorry, I would not purchase.

Hard to say, mine was defective but others seem to be fine. Not that expensive so why not?

Your hose might be faulty, go to your local warehouse store and buy a pool vacuum hose...that's what I did (after 4 months though not 2 weeks) and it seems to work great!

Well i didnt have a problem but i do change hoses frequently cause if there not washable ( most of them arent) the do built some kind of dust from the charcoil and it tends to brake them or clogg them so you need to buy new ones and problem solve if you are willing to invest buy the washable ones there a lil pricier but u can rinse them and there way more durable

If you use it alot go to your local industrial hose shop and have one made. Take them the old one. They can probably use a higher quality hose as well

I have the same problem as you, I am buying a small pack to take care of it. I read lots of reviews and many hoses out there and people say that many hoses don't fit right, are a different color, and that some are too heavy which will effect performance. Then I found this here on Amazon XtremepowerUS 4 Pcs Pool Cleaner Hose Kreepy Krauly Baracuda Zodiac G3 G4 Hayward - Turquoise BlueThe 2 reviews says they are perfect for this GENERIC Kreepy Krauly cleener. I believe by the description of color and, dimensions that this will be just what I need. If I am wrong and they are not perfect, I will update my Comment. Hope this helps =) I have the same problem as you, I am buying a small pack to take care of it.

Unfortunately it does sound like it is defective. The one I got has threads to screw onto any standard hose. I would request an RMA on yours.

I did not seek a refund or replacement. I was frustrated and just threw it in the garbage and told myself that I should have listened to all the others who purchased it before I did and posted warnings! The material used is very poor quality. Some of the other more popular expandable hoses on the market are using better material

I would not even buy the hose. Look at the reviews. Bought four and all failed within weeks

Basically it will cause the hose to break down faster if you run it this way all the time. I would definitely read the warranty or contact the manufacture.

The DAP I bought is still working for me. I have replaced the same type of "GREEN" hose I bought at Bed, Bath, And Beyond 4 times (all in warranty). I gave up on using them and bought this one. I have my fingers crossed that it will survive much longer....................

I believe the manufacturer offers one-year warranty. You'd need receipt of purchase and call to confirm. I wasn't concerned about this and my hose is still working satisfactorily...

a very similar thing happened to me, I did not feel that it was worth the bother to send it back. we had ours for 3 days, and it burst. I cant give you an answer for them. I would not want another one. the first one was enough for me! I wonder if the technology on this type of hose is ready for the market.

Probably not. Try a standard rubber washer in place of the o-ring. Not the slightly smaller plastic ones that always leak for me. If it leaks with any of the 3 alternatives then try a different accessory. If it still leaks then you could have a defective thread on your hose. I've encountered this with several cheap hoses and started buying higher quality ones. They are also cheaper per year than the cheap hoses. Here in the Denver CO area, for 50/60 feet, cheap is $10 while good is $30-35 and excellent about $50-60.

I would disagree with the other person who answered you. I contacted nexgen about one of the hoses leaking and they mailed another hose immediately and did not tequire me to return the leaking hose. I would not call that a fake company. We have only had problems with one hose and we have three.

After being given 3 toll free numbers, and after telling them I bought the hoses from Amazon, I talked to someone who gave me an address to return the defective hoses, and to call back with the tracking number. So I packed up the hoses, bought the postage online, and was ready to call them back with the tracking number. On calling back, I was told that since I bought the hoses at Amazon, and "Amazon is not authorized to sell these hoses", this turned out to be a big waste of my time. I called Amazon, and they were nice enough to let me return them and offer a refund.

The hose is highly flexible and not designed to handle positive or negative pressure. Its realy designed to be a drain hose to carry volume not pressure. Please be guided accordingly.
