Aqua Joe AJFJH50-58-MAX Superlight Fiberjacket Max 50 Foot Garden Hose

Don't waste your money! This hose kinks as badly as normal hoses, and in fact my experience was they kinked worse. Once you removed it from the package, there is no collapsing it back into a small roll if you can prevent kinking. Then when I got ready to use it the second year, it has a hole right at the male end of the hose.

This hose was a replacement hose of the first Aqua Joe hose that was defective. I received this in 2021 and used it for 3 seasons until it started with the pin holes leaks this season. Its a cool product but doesn't last long.

Warranty expired Oct 30, 2023 just when the hose started leaking. We were happy with the hose until it failed. It was properly cared for, not under constant pressure, not out in the sun. Only used it on our covered patio. Just poor quality or quality control. A bad purchase. I advise potential buyers not to buy the Aqua Joe hoses. They don't last.

Like most, if not all, lightweight hoses with flexible inner cores, this one is only marginally better. I gave it two stars instead of one because it last 3 1/2 summers (store it all other seasons). In terms of actual months used, it was about 11. The male end developed a huge leak from where the jacket and core are inserted into the metal connector sleeve. This is pretty much the reason they all break down because the design itself is not feasible. Yet all these mfg'rs keep pedaling out their hoses to unsuspecting consumers thrilled to have a lightweight hose. But don't be fooled. You will get anywhere from a few months to a few years at best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased 2 hoses. They are very well kept. Empty left over water when done using and hung up. Both hoses busted in a random spots. I am very unhappy.
