An impulse buy, as it was in an 'end of season' sale, doh! I thought that these were highly rated, but looking at some of the reviews, there seems to be a problem with them bursting. Anyone got one?
Years ago, I did have a very 'flat' hose, which consisted of an outer fabric, with polythene inner (similar principle I think), and that rolled up into a cassette-type thing, expelling the water - that was great and lasted years before it broke, but not so sure about this thing now...... It's the 100ft version and was £50 at full price, so not cheap at all. Will only be used for cleaning the car and hosing the patio off etc :thinking:
Cheers

I bought 100m of braided hose for use with my pressure washer as it's strong and won't rip or kink after years of punishment.
Recently I laid grass seed in the garden and needed a self retractable hose on a swivel so I could easily access all 4 corners of the garden so I bought a flopro 15m self retractable and I have to say it's amazing. It retracts and at the same time moves left to right so it feeds back uniformly into the housing which also prevents it from being damaged physically and by UV. It can also get full flow if only just the first 1m is pulled from the housing as it's rigid hose. Mine was €70 so about the same price but cleaner, wall mounted, 180deg swivel and retractable.

Only buy the best quality hosepipe , you won't regret the extra paid. I have hozelock ultra pro (not made anymore) think the replacement is called ultimate or similar.

This, with a wall mounted reel to keep it tidy and out of the way with a decent spray gun
