Zephyr Next-gen Garden Hose (1/2" x 50ft, Ultra-Light Flexible Rubber, Brass Fittings)

A heavy duty product(made from rubber),no twisting & water blockage,

I’ve used one for more than seven years always out in the open and the cars have run over it atleast a 100 times … great product

The product appeared very good.I returned it only because the length ordered was not sufficient. So, returned & placed order for the very same material with enough length.

It's long. It's very long. But hey, they sell in shorter lengths, and measuring before buying is recommended! And I'm not cutting it until experience has shown how much I don't need.Seriously...It is soft! It is very nice to handle. It is light! Really, I can't believe how light it is!<A Year and a half later...>It has been through the Chennai flood with us, with heavyweight house-cleaning duty. It is not quite as bright blue as it was, but it is still blue.It bothers me when I see our maid dragging it over concrete, but it doesn't seem to mind much,Most days it is coiled on a wall hanger, out of direct sunlight, but UV gets everywhere. It is still soft, light, easy to handle, and has not stiffened up. Those twisty kinks still spring straight out when the twist is removed. No need for cursing and bending.We hang it on this: Sharpexwall Mount Hose HangerI'm using Hozelock (genuine: there really is nothing like the originals) fittings, and they fit really well as the hose gripper gets a great grip on the soft rubber.If you get a twist in it it kinks. Take out the twist, and the kink disappears. This is is unlike the PVC hoses I am used to where a kink is something to be fought with.Found it hard to believe the sales blurb for this rather expensive hose, but took the chance. The sales blurb is understated! I'm not going to be the one, come summer, out there every day doing the watering, but if you are, I promise you that the lightness and ease of handling this hose is going to save you work, save you energy, save you stress, and make your job *noticeably* easier.It is a completely different product to stiff old PVC. The only thing that remains to be seen is how many years of tropical sunshine it stands up to.Are you getting the message that I like this hose? Oh... It's blue... I like that too.Update 2018: After nearly three years, stored outside, this hose is still flexible and shows no sign of damage or cracking.Update 2019: Four years now. The hose colour has faded, it is showing some wear where it has been dragged on concrete (hey, we all would), but it is still going strong.

I have been using this water pipe for the last 4 years and always remain kept outside in hot summer and chilled winter too. I hope it will still remain perfect for comming 10 years or more. 100% value for money product.

If you want something that will last for a long time to come then go for these hose from Zephyr. It's made of extremely rugged material yet comparatively lightweight. You can just tell how well it is made as soon as you open the box. The rubber material is Resistant to abrasion and kinks. Also you can leave it outside as it comes with UV protection (Anyway I keep it in store room.). So easy to carry to the place you need it and this works well for a terrace garden that has many planters and trees in tubs.Love the variety of settings. So far the best garden hose I have owned and if it holds up as well as it has I will buy another one for my parents, because I am so tired of kinks in the garden hoses and the heaviness of the standard garden hose.No leaks, and the fittings are of good quality. I always turn off the faucet and spray the water out of the hose before coiling it up, to relieve pressure on the fabric and make it easy to hang. And I keep it out of direct sunlight as much as possibleI strongly recommend this product for anyone who does lots of yard work or makes an effort to maintain their garden or crops. I'm also so impressed by the small size of the hose when it's not in use.

The pipe gets pinched. Absolutely impossible to reel the pipe on a hose hanger because it gets tangled and is impossible to manage. The pipe has a filthy rubber coating that makes your hands and dress dirty.I have a algae formation with my current hose. I bought this hose for a much higher price. Later realised that I bought a costly problem.I definitely not recommend this hose for gardening purpose.

Bought 2/3 inch size hose pipe. Although it is sturdy and of good quality, it has too much of coil memory. This makes it too cumbersome to roll back to put back to stand.
