The water immediately started pouring out of the section between where the hose pipe joins the connector that is then attached to your tap, so much so that the pressure of water was not enough to fill the hose let alone get water to the spray gun head. Bought two of these, the first one blew the end off where you screw it onto your spigot and the other I only use sparingly. They are no better than the initial hoses, just cost more and are defective in a different area. Absolute crap. Here’s an idea, make an xhose pro repair kit for your crappy hoses and we wouldn’t care as much. PS: When they work, I love this product; but they have a very short life cycle. Let’s hope they fix their issues in future production runs. They are garbage. The claim that they are “Built to last” is just not true. Unless you mean they will last 3 months, then pop They have not charged my credit card but they should not be collecting credit card information for a product they do not have. This company has probably collected millions of consumer’s credit card numbers. I am wondering what they have in plan. I sure hope my credit card information is being kept secure.

I am very disappointed in the product and see they are advertising again. I would stay away from this company and product! Xhorse MINI Key Tool, VVDI Key Tool, Key Tool Lite (Android), Dolphin XP005, please use this new Xhorse APP.

So thanks for giving this your “Thumbs up rating” based on not actually using it for one second. You are just influencing people into buying this piece of crap when clearly every should be staying away from it until they work out their quality and customer service issues. I just got my hoses today after waiting 9 weeks to get it in my hand. I connected it to the spigot and turned the water on…BOOM it swelled up and popped and started spraying water everywhere!! It’s important to note that this is the same company that made the original XHOSE, they have now partnered with DAP to get a name brand on their product. It’s a good partnership because it adds even more credibility to the hose, as DAP has been a trusted name in the home improvement industry for decades. I guess they are making so much money selling them that they don’t have to worry about replacing the defective ones. The XHOSE PRO is getting our Thumbs Up rating due to the fact that they took an already successful product that has been tried and tested in the real world and shown to be effective, and made it better. They didn’t have a lot of room for improvement, but they found a way to do it anyway with the brass fittings.

Turns out there was a tear or some sort of mis-manufacture in the blue material along the length of the hose leaving a gap. Whatever is inside (rubber I think) tried to escape via the hole with water in it and simply exploded. I have disputed the charge with my credit card company and have not yet resolved this issue, so I have not used the xhoses they sent me as I am waiting to return them whenever the dispute is resolved. This has been way too much writing. There is a ‘FIX’ that can be done at disassembly that will permanently fix the problem so the repair need not be done ever again, but that will have to wait for another time. If anyone wants to go further with the permanent fix, post your request and I will advise. Steve Watering can be an everyday task in summer, but to ensure you use only the water you need, and that it goes just where you want it, a spray gun attached to the end of your hose is an essential piece of kit.The other tip is to use a nozzle on the end of it, like a spray gun. While it isn’t necessary, it will get you the best results possible and will increase the likelihood that you’ll enjoy the experience. This will give you added accuracy for what you’re spraying, and it will make the entire process of using the hose more enjoyable and easier on the hands. Bought the x-hose pro, with the brass fittings, last summer and used it a couple times per month. At the end of the season, I stored it inside my house away from the cold. Basically, save your money and don’t bother with these products whether it’s the x-hose or other similar products. There is little chance that the reveiwer could have even received a hose, considering people have been waiting for 2-3 months just to get theirs. If you’re a professional that uses a garden hose everyday you won’t have to worry about getting your use out of this hose. If you’re just a hobby gardener or weekend yard waterer you might not use it as much as you’re hoping to. But overall it should reduce your level of straining and fighting with your current hose due to its lightweight nature and shrinking ability.

The proposed settlement resolves a class action lawsuit (the “Action”) relating to Defendants’ products called the XHose, XHose Pro, and XHose Pro Extreme (collectively the “Covered Products”). The Action is called Bergman et al. v. DAP Products Inc. et al., and it is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Court Case No. 14-cv-03205-RDB. The Action alleges that some of the advertisements for the Covered Products were false and misleading, that the Covered Products are defective, and that Defendants have breached express and implied warranties for the Covered Products. Defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing and liability asserted in the Action. The Court has made no determination that any of the allegations are true, and has made no finding of liability or wrongdoing. I believe if you have any product in the world, present it well and rabbit on about it enough for 30 minutes and show off all the pros and how it works then unfortunately some gullible people will buy it.Next thing you know, theres this bulge appearing from the hose length about two thirds of the way down and it pops and water starts shooting out.

Eco considerations. Assessed the hose spray gun according to any eco plus points, including how leak proof it was, could you control the water pressure, did it have an aerated flow, was it made from any recycled materials and would it last.Its pretty obvious that the person who wrote this article didnt actually try the hose or compare it to the old version. You can tell for multiple reasons. ONE OF MY 75′ BLEW A HOLE AFTER A MONTH OF NORMAL USE , IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOSE. AFTER ANOTHER WEEK THE NEXT ONE BLEW IN THE MIDDLE ALSO. Brian, I can’t speak to the limits of the hose, but your water pressure is going to cause you problems with toilet valves, faucet seals, washer hoses, etc. My first indication that mine was high was the pop-off on the water heater triggering. I installed a P ressure R educing V alve on the main coming in and took it to 60 from 100. No more burst hoses, water heater issues, frequent toilet valve replacements, etc. The noise of the running water when showers and sinks were on was greatly reduced also. Thank goodness a clothes washer hose didn’t burst while we were away! Plenty of reports and chatter on the Internet about Xhoses exploding (like mine did) or leaking (like mine did) or not lasting very long.
