In general, the number of feet or metres in the name or title of an expandable hose is the expanded length. I found expandable hoses of lengths 7.5m, 15m, 20m, 30m and 40m. I’m sure that there are other lengths as well. The hose head also gives the option to leave the spray on, which is an improvement on some other hose designs where you have to wear your hand out holding down the trigger. Expandable hoses haven’t always had the best reputation for being durable but, thanks to newer products like this one from FitLife and other companies such as ANSIO, that is starting to change.

It’s slightly longer than many expandable hoses, which often reach 30 m. This Lufeng hose expands all the way up to 45 m, and then shrinks down to 15 m when not in use. Layers of latex – the more layers of latex that a hose has, the more durable it is. Most expandable hoses have 2 – 3 layers of latex. That said, the Fitlife Garden Hose featured on the above list has 13.A traditional garden hose is usually made of rubber which is a heavy material when you consider the length of the hose. An expandable hose is made of lightweight latex and polyester, so it’s lighter to carry. Tangle-free Accessories are a must when it comes to hoses. There are brands that do not offer accessories and that is a shame because you just want to use the hose right out the box. Brands that do offer accessories come in handy as the accessories elevate the user experience. Some of the common accessories include adapters, storage bags, hose hangers and couplers among others. These accessories allow you to use and store your hose with no problems. You would be surprised that a bit of peace of mind goes a long way. The Ansio expandable hose does feel heavier out of the box than some of its competitors (still much lighter than a standard rubber hose) but it also feels more robust than many of them which is something I found reassuring. Although I didn’t get to test it, the makers say that this model is compatible with a karcher pressure washer, something to keep in mind as to really get the best out of any expandable hose, you need to have good constant pressure.

Now, let’s talk about the spray gun. The polished plastic construction is paired with a soft-grip handle for a comfortable watering experience, it really is a great piece of kit, better than some of the other alternatives that come with an expandable hose. The water flow control knob on the handle allows for seamless adjustments, while the 10 spray patterns cater to all your gardening needs, from rinsing down the car to watering pots and containers, and the mist spray pattern is excelent for watering seedlings. They’ve developed a newer style of trigger too since I last tested and bought an expandable hose. Rather than a trigger they have a switch that varies the power of water pressure. You can easily water seedlings with this type of switch. I found it very handy: The newer style switch is very nice to use on expandable hose pipes

When you’re running water into the hose, make sure the hose has room to expand fully. It expands only gradually so there’s not too much concern about doing this around children. It’s a cool process to watch. The level of power provided by this hose is excellent, especially compared to other expandable models, and it comes with an 8-setting spray head – it’s just as useful for washing the car as it is for watering the plants.

There are exceptions, but as a rule of thumb, it is worth paying a bit extra for a higher quality expandable hose than trying to save a few pennies on a cheap one. When considering the durability of the hose, you need to consider the materials used. Durable hoses can be identified by how long they last. For example, the HmiL-U Garden Hose can be used at least 1000-1500 times before it starts loosing some of its expandable qualities. That is more than double what some regular hoses can do. Optimal working conditions As for the best length for you, it depends on how far away the further reaches of your outdoors space is. You might choose to buy the length of hose that suits your garden as it is now. Or you may choose a longer hose in case you expand your need-to-water part of the garden. Just remember that the longer the hose, the less water pressure you have coming out the end.

That said, some care needs to be taken around thorny plants and spikey gravel – despite its strong construction, it’s still not completely puncture proof!
