What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this soaker hose. Many praise its flexibility, lightweight design, and ease of installation, noting it saves time and water compared to traditional options. However, a substantial number report significant durability issues including leaks, kinking, and premature failure within days or weeks of use. Some experience uneven water distribution with water gushing from only a few spots. While positive users find it practical and convenient, reliability concerns and frequent returns reflect a fundamental quality inconsistency that undermines the product's value proposition for many.

The second time I turned the water on, a 6 inch section was leaking along the seam. Will be returning it.

Leaks abysmally at joint
Would Not RecommendI have had this the summer of 2023 and it has leaked abysmally. Took out the o ring and tried without. Put it back in again and same results. Leaking water at the joint, and water not making it to the end of the line. Water was on as low as I could get it. It appears not to screw on to hose fully.

Disappointed
Would Not RecommendThe first one I purchased had several places where the water came out instead of hose. The second one I purchased did disperse the water throughout the hose. Although, it also had place where the water spurted out. Unfortunately, this hose seemed to be my only option.

inconsistent
Would Not RecommendI have bought a total of 600ft, 12 50ft pieces to go around house and beds and also around shop. The house are all new this spring and out of the 8 around it. HALF don't provide any water and bone dry area while others water too much. And the dry ones are in between ones that work fine. All hooked series. What a pain. I used these to replace the old recycled rubber ones and they would be great IF THEY ALL WORKED AND WERE CONSISTENT. With the escalating costs of everything nowadays I have no tol...
