El grosor de la manguera es muy reducido y por lo tanto el flujo de agua es muy poco

Bought two lengths of this for my RV water lines. Very tired of spending very high prices for that white RV specific hose that makes the water taste absolutely awful. I get no taste from these hoses. Been using one of them for about 6 years now and no signs of it failing yet. Was impressed enough with one that I ordered the second one after finding I needed an extra length due to some RV sights services locations

Great quality but it's not 25 ft even if I try stretching it to the max . I Have a small back yard so it didn't need anything too big or too long this would be neat and tidy . I would have been perfect but its shorter than the description.

Pros: Decent quality, hooks ups easily. Very lightweight, and storage is quick and simple.Cons: The fittings aren't the best, so I recommend using a bit of plumbers tape around the threads before attaching it, or if you're having trouble with leaks. Stated length is deceptive - only stretches to 12-15 feet.As others have stated, the coil doesn't allow you to stretch it the entire 25ft, so the usable length is only about half that. The further you stretch it the harder you have to work against the tension in the hose. Depending on the area you need to water and any obstacles you need to work around this may not be an issue. If you have arthritis or if you intend for a small child to be able to "help" with the watering, look elsewhere.I got this hose primarily because I thought it would make it easier for my 9-year-old to help in the garden (he's at the age where he still thinks chores are a novelty!). Unfortunately, he can only reach about half of our small garden using this hose. We've already had a couple of "accidents" ("Really, Mom, it was an accident!") where he gets tangled up or the coiling action pulls the hose right out his hands, leaving anyone nearby in danger of sudden drenching . . . On the other hand, he's certainly enjoying himself "helping" Mom in the garden!Warning: The "slinky" effect may be too much for certain users to resist. Of course, this is only an issue if you don't like having fun.

We have a hose bib at the front of our house, but I always hate to connect a hose to it. No matter what "house rules" are put in place, the hose always end up sitting out on the front sidewalk, an eyesore and a hazard. This seemed like a perfect solution- a hose that coils itself up and hides in the hostas.=== The Good Stuff ===* So far it works as advertised. There is no nozzle on the hose, so there is no pressure build up when the hose isn't in use. That seems to allow it to coil itself with a minimum of fuss. I also seldom stretch the unit out all the way, which probably makes it more likely to self-coil itself.* I don't use it for anything more than watering plants or filling up a container or two. Remember, it is a 3/8" hose, and it is almost always coiled, so there is no way you are going to get the same flow as out of a 3/4", straight hose. I'd say I get about 50% of the flow out of this hose that I get out of my regular hose.* The green blends in with the plants, so the hose hides itself nicely.* No leaks.=== The Not-So-Good Stuff ===* I would trust this hose more if it had brass fittings instead of whatever metal these are. Also a spring to keep it from kinking at the hose bib would have been a nice feature.=== Summary ===This is a great hose for what it is. It is not going to replace the usual 3/4" vinyl or rubber garden hose you now have. The hose isn't constructed as robustly, and the water flow is going to be much less. But for those places where you want a self-hiding hose, and don't need all that much water pressure or flow, it works great.
