is the pocket hose just as bad as the x hose

I do not know about the X hose but it can't be any worse than the (ugh) pocket hose.

Not sure what a x hose is. If it looks like a pocket hose, then my guess is they are made by the same company.

I can't say because I never used an X hose, but according to some of the reviews, it looks like they share the same bad qualities.

Yes - it is nothing more than a flimsy piece of plastic tubing covered in nylon that splits open with any water pressure

I really have no idea because I have not used the X hose. From the other reviews, though, the X hose must not be any better. The idea behind these hoses is great, but I am going to put up with the inconvenience of rolling up the old-fashioned hose.

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.

Not a very good hose you have to use adapters! & the thing sprays water all over the place at the hoses connection it self! You have to drape a towel over the hose's connection to keep from getting wet!'. I'd look for another brand and model!!. Get a "professional at a Cometologist supply house. One hat you connect to an actual shampoo sink at a salon!. I have to use various "attachments" at different at home sinks when I go to people's houses to do at home services!. I deal with the draping the towel over over all the connections because I don't want to deal with the hassle of returning this one!!. Untill I get one from a salon supply house. So,... Don't buy this hose it's a plice of junk!!. Hope this was helpfully to you. Good luck!

The only difference I can see in the description of the two hoses is the GT performs well withlow water pressure. I have several of these hoses and they are terrific - combined with a digital timer it means no more hand wateringthe vegetable garden and much healthier plants recieving water at the roots. Fewer pests and diseases.

the hose has a smooth plastic like skin, but coils much easier than the hard plastic hoses. I coil it like a garden hose an have no trouble. Steve

I didnt bother to check, I purchased the black dap hose instead. seems to be the better buy

I use the Tubigrip instead of pressure hose because it's more comfortable and easier to put on. However, I suggest that you ask your doctors opinion. I bought the small package first and wore it to the doctor's office. When I got my doctor's okay, I bought the larger package. Good luck.

Yes I ordered it rather than the on tv expandable hose thinking it would be more durable. WRONG! Note I did not give the first answer I am not Priscilla I am Chuck Lytle and I only ordered one Hose.

I have had two X hoses and they both sprung a leak in less than 6 months. Great idea but not ready for pime time.

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.

I would not recommend this one. We bought so many of them last year as Christmas gifts, and 75% of them have already failed. By the BLACK Xhose instead. I've had NO problems with this one, which is heavier duty, and a larger circumference, and also has very sturdy metal connections that are brass.

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 think it is more flexible. A much nicer hose and I think more durable. The weight, maybe a little more but it really handles well so you don't notice. We vacuumed vermiculite out of our whole attic and bought an extra 25 ft hose and it really wasn't too hard to handle and never pinched, and we constantly stepped on it etc and never hurt the thing!

i use the handheld way as i cannot stand and the hose is a great metal hose that hangs nicely. my daughter uses the device as a regular shower and has not complained what so ever about it. she was having to use my rubber hand held until i got this one. i love it and hope this helps you in your decision.

My experience with this product were not good. I also experienced leaking problems, clogging (water flow stoppage) and sticking of the fitting on hoses, but the corrosion was the worst in the long run. It ruined two expensive garden hoses that are now fused to the fittings. My recommendation is to ditch the Orbit quick connect fittings and be happy that someone warned you.

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.
