Garden hoses - what’s best?
Hi GWers, I need some pointers regarding garden hoses. I currently have a Hozelock standard yellow hose on a reel and it’s a kinked-up nightmare, like wrestling with a boringly predictable snake with rigor mortis.
Please can you let me know only the hoses that you think are good from genuine personal experience. I’m interested in the expanding hoses.
Please no sales ploy bobbins thank you.
N.b. My garden is 60feet long.

I have only seen or heard bad reviews regarding expanding hoses. Never owned one though.
Like Pauline, I've only heard bad things about the expanding ones, and certainly old threads on them haven't improved my opinion.
I wonder why yours is such a problem @MattyD ... could it be faulty

I briefly owned an x-hose a few years back. We have low water pressure so it was a waste of time for us. Still works with low pressure but doesn't expand and therefore you have in effect a short hose. I know they also suffered from perishing in a relatively short period of time but maybe things have improved in that respect.
I also have a Hoselock expandable which I use for a different area of the garden and have had no problems with it.
