I got a 100 ft. kink free hose at Walmart for either 30 or 40

His is only 50 ft.

Just a heads up.

I'm interested in the Sun Joe hose because I hate having to deal with my long heavy hose. Does the one at Walmart expand & contract like the Sun Joe one? That is the selling point for me.

I never paid any attention to tell you the truth. LOL

I'm in hot, DRY, Tx. I have to drag around a 100 ft. hose twice a week to reach my stuff that isn't hit by the sprinkler system.

They say we may get rain thurs or Fri. not holding my breathe on it.

If you can get by with a 50 ft one and that aspect of the hose appeals to you 

I'd get it. Have to pay the 5.50 shp , too.

You can always compare at Walmart too.

Good luck !

We have some knock off one like this and it works just fine. It came in pack of two. 

I guess it's a convenience for those who can't get out but even ordering from Wal-Mart  or Amazon online would probably be cheaper.

@SharkE thanks for the response. 50' is long enough for me, but I will also look at Walmart. I'm there every Saturday so it won't hurt to compare.

I must tell you,every expandable hose,are lousy i tried many ,i hate using hoses also.

I love the non kink ones, though. Once you have one you'll never go back to those ol' cheapy kinky ones.  I'm out 100 ft from the house and if you have a cheapy hose your standing there watering and it comes down to a drip you go what the **** ?  Then, you see the blasted thing has kinked 50 ft up the hose, so, you, go back and unkink it, go back to where you were and the water is flowing.

Then, you move dragging the heavy hose with you only to find out now it's kinked in a different spot, so, there you go again trying to unwind the kink.

It can take all day to water and in the blistering Tx heat. I shelled out for another pricey hose last week for my front yard to get more water to my little plant display . Sprinkler's are better then nothing but not as good as standing there with direct hard spray.

Nothing is good as a hard rain, but, that's in my dreams. LOL

I bought the nozzle TSV but I'll never buy a hose because I have a hate, hate relationship with hoses!  Ugh!

I'm convinced somewhere in the world (OK, in the US) because we seem fixated on hoses) there is a cemetery for dead hoses!  It must be full!  I've never met a hose I didn't hate!

I've bought the fireman's hose the gardenman's hose (names on the labels) you name it and I've bought it.  Junk!  I tell you!  Ha!

Surprised one could get so worked up about a hose?  Obviously you've never invested in one only to have it become a mangled mess.  I've bought the reels (again, with the cemetery) and, well, it wasn't nice (the words that came out of my mouth from these things).  It was as if I was possessed!  My neighbors were like, "Well!  Annabelle, you need to get help"!

Right now I've had (since early Fall) a 1/2 put together reel sitting up against my house (waiting to be put together).  Even the lawn person just looks at me and shakes his head and says, "Annabelle, you need help".

HELP!

Best thing Q ever sold me was their spade type of shovel. Hubbo and I fight over that every Spring. Forget those old square edge shovels that break your back and you have to take someplace to have sharpened all the time.

this spade is great for digging up those awful thorny weeds and planting shrubs and stuff.  I need to get another one. LOL

If someone could design,and make a expandable hose,that is great they would make a billon dollars, rubber hoses are the way to go,sears makes the best hoses,but here is the kicker,they are black and the black gets all over your hands and clothes.
