Re: Bernini Garden Hose TSV 4/23

@Sugipine   I've had no leaks, even after several years left out in the elements, and excellent water pressure.

Re: Bernini Garden Hose TSV 4/23

I sang praises for these hoses, having gotten one when I believe they were first presented, maybe 4-5 years ago. I got the 50' then decided the next time I saw it to get a 100' for the backyard. After about a month of getting the 100' one, my 50' decided to spring a leak. I tried to search for the company because I thought it had a long warranty period, no luck. In another month's time, the new 100' one sprang a leak, same place as the other, about 2' from the nozzle end. Not sure what the issue was but at the new prices, I won't take a chance to getting another. I never had any pressure problems, I loved everything about the hoses except that they eventually leaked. Having one for so long with no problems then having the same problem within a year was disappointing because they seemed to push the fact that they would not leak.

If you need a longer hose, noticed that Amazon has them in 125 foot lengths. They're almost $100. Most people give good ratings, but I'm on the fence. That's a lot of money to spend for a hose if they only last 6 months to a couple of years, as some reviewers stated.

@Eileen in Virginia same here. My hose has been outside connected to my faucet since the day I received it. I live in Philly so we experience all 4 seasons of weather. The only thing I do is shut my water off from the inside in the winter so my outdoor pipe doesn't freeze. No leaks and no loss in water pressure.

Does anyone know if this hose would be too hot to touch when it's 110° outside?

@deeva I have never experienced this. As noted I live where we get all 4 seasons of weather and in the summer it is hot & humid. My hose has never been too hot to handle. In fact it has never felt hot at all.

@deeva  Our temps haven't gotten that high, but they have gone as high as the high 90's. I have a plastic nozzle/sprayer on mine, so it's okay to handle. I will say, though, that the water can get pretty warm if I don't water my plants until later in the day (we get full sun in this area of our yard most of the day). I just spray it over the lawn until the water cools, then water my plants. This happened with my regular hoses, too, though.

I have several of these hoses and just love them!  So far I've never had any problems with them.  I will be ordering another.

The Bernini hoses are tempting but I don't mind dealing with my rubber hoses.  I wrestle with them sometimes, but they are after all less expensive.  And if I left a Bernini hose on my patio in this condo community, I'm afraid it would be stolen.

Re: Bernini Garden Hose TSV 4/23

I've had a metal hose for several years with no problems.  I don't remember if it's a Bernini or not.  It's rolled up on hose cart and stays hooked up to the faucet all summer, although I unhook it to cover my faucet in winter.  Never had any problems with it. I do have one caution though.  DON'T STEP ON IT, especially if it's laying on a hard flat surface like concrete unless you want to immediately end up on your behind.  Personal experience.
