Are these hoses guaranteed for a certain period of time? I bought mine in May and used it 4 short times for a side yard. The inner tubing has exploded

I bought a 75 ft and the same thing happened. I called the company and they aren't responsive to my complaint. I certainly don't recommend buying from them. I don't think they are guaranteed because on the paperwork in the box doesn't state a word about any type of guarantee. I just hooked up 2 50 foot hoses yesterday made by DAP. Bought them at Bed, Bath & Beyond. They are much stronger but I don't see any guarantee in their paperwork. Go online at www.xhosepro.com and check it out.

Yes, we had the same thing happen to us with the (blue) colored hoses. This season we purchased a new an improved (green) colored expandable hose and it is working out great (so far). Our hose get's used about every other day. I hope this helps.

I bought two, cannot remember the date of purchase. But used less than 3 times and they both exploded. The plastic connector cracked about a week after purchase, these items are very flimsy.

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 didn't look when I got it. I have used it for couple months now with no problems. Even had construction people working on my house use it and they have not managed make it leak or fail. The trick is to not leave water in the hose after use. Empty and put away. I have a very small basket under the hose nozzle where it is stored when empty of water and water pressure. Works great, stores in a very small place, and I believe this hose type will take over the market for home use.

I have been really happy with this type of soaker hose. The round black rubber type did not last even one season, some crack and spring leaks after one week. These flat Gilmour type are still good after almost two seasons plus they are easy to move, so far no problems. I bought my first hose from Walmart, they were sold out when I decided to buy more, so I ordered the 75 ft type from Amazon, less expensive that way. If you plan to irrigate the same area for years and years, a permanent underground commercial system would be best.

My Rumford Gardener Expanding hose did not last long !!! However, I do not know if it has a guarantee. I don't think so. However, I am making sure to report my bad experience to whomever wants to know the life expectancy of this hose, which is indeed very short!!!!!

I'm sorry Tom, I can't answer the questions you asked. I can tell you that after giving the hose a glowing review I've completely changed my mind. The hose blew a hole near the very end. It supposedly has a life time warranty so I contacted the manufacturer and they never replied. Do yourself a favor and buy a heavy duty hose that costs but lasts......~ c

I had mine for a couple of months, and used it a handful of times. Burst with no warning, not stretched, not under duress from pressure because we have a regulator.

It was for outside. I left the pressure on over night and the next morning the hose had come apart at the seams. I can understand if it had some age on it, but less than 24 hours? I think it's just a poorly manufactured product.

Hi - I'm sorry I don't have an answer as to the warranty. But before buying I did check it on Consumer Reports who tested several of these and the Pocket Hose came out about top. They put it through its paces, so it's a good recommendation. As for us we've only used it for about a month...so far, so good! Good luck

I cannot speak to how these hoses were, I can say that we have had 3 for about 2 months and had no problems with them.

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

A year but if you hook this hose to an extension cord it automatically voids the warranty all together. Mine lasted 3 months and cost $120. I didn't even have the hose a year either. When I called them about it, the lady was rude. They do not back this product as they should and I manage an rv park. I won't recommend it to current or future tenants. I want my customers to return. They wouldn't even meet me halfway and refund half my money much less replace the hose. If you can use it without an extension cord, you will have a warranty but whether or not they will back it, is the question. I hope this helps. I'm a dissatisfied customer and know others who are as well.

Same thing with my 75' hose. Used the hose 2 or 3 times and it busted wide open.

No.I had two that last one season. One day I am watering my plants and POWWWWWW....It blew up in the hand carrying the hose. My hand was bruised for a couple of days and luckily no child was holding it or near anyone's face. My neighbor returned theirs due to leakage. Great idea but not perfected yet.

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.

Since my hose exploded after less than 60 seconds of use, I really can't answer that question. The inner lining is so thin that even weak pressure overloaded it.

I have not had an issue with the hoses I have purchased. I am being careful not to yank them around or pull them across sharp edges.
