I’m a GC and keep 2 of these hoses in my truck at all times... they are GREAT for what they are good for, a simple easy storable hose and thats it. They take up almost no room compared to another hose of it’s size however the complaints are not really what this product is intended for but they are valid complaints. They do not have a ton of pressure compared to a regular hose (a pressure washer you can forget about it). If not stored properly they begin to dry-rot and can not endure a lot of dragging on the ground, it’s rather fragile to friction. All of that aside for a hose you put away or need in a pinch that you can tuck away and forget about than they are amazing and get the job done.

Good review man, love your channel and how genuine you are with your reactions and comments. You can tell you are reviewing these for the first time with us, not for us. Separates you from the rest. Can’t wait for another one 👍🏻

Your presentation in your videos has gotten very smooth

Bailey sure worked hard this video, she deserves a treat. Great video, I tell everyone about your videos.

My uncle bought these types of hoses when they were new and he went through 6 of them in a year before he gave up. They all ruptured eventually. The inside is a latex tubing and that is why they expand but latex tubing was never designed to hold pressure and it is easily damaged by heat or UV rays from the sun. I'll stick with an old fashioned hose that I can leave outside in the sin and only replace every 10-15 years (or when someone drives over the end and smashes it). Love your reviews.

Thanks for helping me NOT waste money on one of these things. I am getting the metal hose, you comments about it were appreciated. it takes talent (and a great dog) to make a review about hoses entertaining.

[NoahKuzel]

You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned user error and not following instructions. People tend to not do that all the time.

Bailey was so cute drinking the water! 🐕

Another great review just in time for summer! I love that you included Bailey. She's such a cutie.

I bought the Pocket hose (original version, I guess) at the hardware last Spring when we were power washing the deck. We left it on and connected to the power washer even while taking breaks. We turned off the water when we were done for the day and drained it; no blow outs or leakage. To be honest, it probably was in the shade most of the time as our deck faces north and has a partial roof.

I really like how light it is and started using it to water the flowers/plants in the front yard after we finished with the deck. I did drain the water after each use, but hung it on the hose reel on the west side of the house that gets lots of sun. It was still A-OK as of Oct when we put it away. Still chilly in Ohio, so we are a month or two away from seeing how it did over the winter.

I got the 25' hose for $19.99, and I'm really impressed with how light it is to carry. I struggled so much with the old hose that most of the time I opted to use a watering can as it was easier than dragging the hose around and then rolling it back up.

It did come with a cheap plastic nozzle that looked like the one with the Pocket hose silver bullet, but I always buy a better version like the nozzle that came with the Flexi-hose in plastic. I don't like the metal ones, they seem to anodize? after a while and get more difficult to use. Maybe because we have hard water? Don't know. The plastic ones don't seem to do that. Nozzles do well to last us more than 2 years.

Bailey seemed to be having a blast as you tested the hoses! It was super cute to watch!

I have a pocket hose I use for washing my car. I don't remember which model it is. I have had it for a couple years and it still works great! I follow the instructions on it and store it inside when I am not using it. It is very light and flexible, even when full of water.

[captainrick]

I just love when Bailey steels the show! Nice review, I've tried a few they are OK for light duty stuff, but not everyday. Besides who wants to have to bring a hose in after every use? I want to leave mine out, hooked up and ready to go when I need it! Thanks for sharing!

[ayekantspeylgud]

A video full of Bailey!! ❤️ Great review, as always, James, but even better with the inclusion of Bailey!! 😍

[kellymichaels]

Really enjoy seeing your kind interaction with Bailey. She ought to feature more often for longer. ☺️👍

[jons]

Hey, it's great to see you compare these (& other) products.
My wife bought a 'retractable' hose, but it soon broke & we were still using the regular hoses.
Thanks for all you do.


Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

[themonkreview-reviewvideos]

You are now truly a master of hose haha! Great video as always.

[austinchabluk]

I love this channel! Even though I’m 14 and won’t buy anything, I still love the reviews!

[TheMrKristens]

Yes!!! Spot on!! Use them, drain them, bring them inside!! Exactly. I do have one. One... It is a 25ft. I have had mine for years without issue. I wouldn't recommend this type of hose for a daily use hose... more so due to the inconveniences of having to pull it in and out. It isn't for everyone. I don't mind it, but it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Thank you for doing this review. I have been considering getting another one (longer). Bailey may have aided in my decision. 🤔😂😊

[jaaks]

I've been watching these for a few years now and finally broke down and bought the Pocket Hose Silver Bullet today at Wal-Mart. I'm hopeful it will do everything we need it to since it will be used with our RV trips some of the time.

[andrearobinson]

Great intense info with a great light up- Ms Baily! Seeing you are a respectful and kind animal lover made the video that much better. Going to search the TVI hose now.

[Productum]

Thanks for your detailed comparison (and even cute dog proved^^)! :) Last year I also bought a flexible (expanding) garden hose and I'm still happy with it ... no annoying water cans anymore! <3

[JackQuinlivan]

Okay first, Bailey made my day! Seriously the cutest thing I've seen all week, and I seriously needed it! Second, I read hose as horse 3 times, and became more confused as I clicked on the video, and then realized it said hose. Not going to lie though, I really wanted to see 3 retractable, horses.
