Good quality
Works great! Super easy to use and makes a tight connection, even on busted faucets. Feels solid too. Totally worth it!

Works great
I wanted an extension to bath my dogs outside but be able to use warm water. I have great danes that don't like getting in the bath tub. I was skeptical about this product. Used it for the first time today. Love it. Worked great. It came off the facet once because I adjusted the house to have higher pressure. Understandable that it came off as the pressure was too high to keep the hose in place. Once I left it at the full open position hose worked great. Never came off. If you want higher pressure through your hose you'll need to clamp it at the connection point. Love that I can now bath my dogs outside using warm water.

This is barely ok, and even that doesn't last
I bought this for the same reason as one of the previous reviewers, to attach a short outdoor hose to my deep sink faucet so I can wash my dog with warm water outside. That reviewer was basically happy with how it functioned, but I'm not personally . The item itself seems well made and useful, but it constantly pops off the deep sink faucet once the water is on. You have to keep the water at barely over a trickle, or.the pressure blam it off, forcing you to go replace it in the middle of washing the dog. I've made great effort to seat the sleeve deeply, and be super conscious that there's no restriction to flow -- for example, using the spray head was quickly out of the question. So when it's actually working, I just have a very tiny stream of water, no spray head, and certainly no pressure. It does function, so that's better than nothing, but only barely. A side note -- the categories for stars are "Durability", "Lightweight" and "Value for Money". They have little to do with the actual ability to use the thing. I only responded to "Value for Money" and gave it two stars. Revised: It's now a month later, and after 1x daily use, it's not working at all. Just pops off immediately, even with all above tricks used. Now one star, would be zero if possible.

Works well at low pressure
I bought this to use with my python aquarium water changing hose/siphoning system as the closest sink to my aquarium did not have a compatible faucet head to screw into. I was worried it might not stick to the faucet that well since it's not made for high water pressure, but I was able to make it work. I have pretty high water pressure, so I just turned the faucet on partway, and that worked for me. Water was able to pass through at a slower pace and still fill up my tank without the Water Bandit flying off the faucet.I experimented and found it would work if the water pressure was higher, but I had to hold it around the faucet with my hand pretty firmly, so if you want to do this, you would need to work with a partner. For python siphon users, this may be required if you are using the siphon/vacuum functionality of the kit for cleaning your gravel, I didn't try that out, just used it for water fill of a new tank so far.One thing to note, the end that goes over your faucet/water pipe is pretty narrow. I have one faucet head that was too wide for it to wrap around it, so make sure you have one that's on the narrower side.

New style works better than old
This is my second order. I'm much happier with my second order and it works. I was very happy with this new "model." It had a different grey instead of gold screw on base. I hooked it up to the faucet and didn't need a clamp and nothing burst. This hose adapter is very easy to use. You just screw it on the end of the hose and slip the "sleeve" over your faucet spout. Do NOT turn the water on high. You'll want a slower flow. This isn't great for car washes, but I use it to fill up the RV tank from my kitchen or bathroom faucet and it works for that. This is a useful product and it's handy to have around if you have a camper. (I had one before and like other people experienced, it exploded and cracked. I was able to use a small ring clamp to wear it out to the end and still use it until I lost it. It did help me use a hose on my wonky faucet with an abnormal spout. I haven't had any problems with the most recent one I ordered.)

Will rip open if you apply pressure!
This product is fine if you use it EXACTLY as the instructions indicate. But it's a pain in the rear to do so. Do NOT add a hose clamp to this to hold it on the faucet and apply water pressure by having your hose end not open! IT WILL RIP OPEN and spray water all over the room!!! Don't ask me how I know....If you're OK with walking back and forth to the faucet to turn it on and off every 5 seconds then great but if you need to stop water flow at the hose end this will shoot off the faucet, dropping it to the floor and causing a mess. THAT'S what caused me to put a hose clamp on it at the faucet. Then I turned on the water, walked to the end of the hose where the water was coming out, shut off the water with the hose nozzle an BLAMMO, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE! The boot split and was shooting water in countless directions and making a huge mess! No matter what Ibdid with this, it caused me to clean up water every flipping time! Wish I never bought this!I basically hate this thing. It's useless for what I needed and I bought something else that screws onto any faucet and let's me turn on the water and then operate the hose end nozzle on and off as needed like using a regular hose. This thing has a very narrow use case scenario list....of which, nothing normal people do with a hose is on it.

Functional
Put this on my laundry sink while my hose was out. I started it on low because I saw a lot of reviews saying the thing popped off the faucet, but halfway through filling up my hot tub I increased the water pressure and it was fine.
