Customer Review: Avoid this product - mine is going into the trash
Summary: 1 Stars
This was purchased for my wife to replace a similar design that had developed a crack in the handle after 8 years. I hooked it up and immediately regretted my purchase because of the inferior design and materials to the one I was replacing. I hoped that I was just being critical - they sell it on Amazon, right! I was in the house the first time she used it and when she came in, dripping wet, and asked if I would help her with the hose I knew that it had failed. Trust me and you can stop reading here.
Oh, that wasn't good enough and you want something more technical and descriptive? Okay!! Grasp this! The part that connects to your water supply (spigot) is composed of 3 separate pieces in the overall design. A small threaded portion, made of a type of flexible plastic. The hose-end is a slightly more rigid black plastic piece, fused to the coiled hose, with a pencil-lead-sized small hole for water flow, and an outside diameter only a couple of millimeters larger than the hole in the threaded-piece that it is inserted within. The third piece is a black vinyl washer, intended to cushion and seal the hose-end within the threaded portion. The problem comes when the water is turned on! It would work well at a trickle - maybe 10-15% pressure. Try for more water and the threaded portion flexes sufficiently to allow the whole thing to blow apart.
Customer Review: Almost good

This coil type was purchased to replace a similar product from Costco that they no longer carry. The product is similar to the previous item but the design results in very inferior performance. The spray wand is made of injection molded plastic parts and warps when it is stored in a horizontal position and is difficult to adjust the spray pattern and the adjustment range is inferior to the prefious metal design. The female threaded hose connection is also inferior due of insufficient strength of the threaded collar. It leaks profusely at normal water pressure and replacement of the hose gasket only fixed it for a short time. I still use the item but I have to use it only while the lawn sprinklers are on and the system pressure is less. The clear coil hose, on the other hand, is superior to the previouse product. I like it's handling characteristics and it's looks. My rating: 30% of parts good, Overall: Very Marginal.

Summary: 1 Stars
I searched a while for this kind of product (to replace a good one from years back) and thought this was 'the one'. Brass swivel fittings, wand sprayer that adjusts from fine mist to stream, 5 yr warranty. Not the case (as others have noted in reviews). 1) The fittings are not brass, they are plastic. This makes for a nearly impossible connection on my outdoor faucet (it detached itself due to the water pressure within 3 minutes). Further, if it stayed connected, I'd expect it to fail within the season from expansion/contraction due to weather or stripping of the threads due to mismatch with metal water faucet threads. 2) The wand tip only allows for a single stream. The wand itself is also very flimsy (as others have noted). I should gone with my gut. I put it back in the box after 10 minutes and sent back the same day. Thankfully the shipping was free but what a pain. Do not purchase however enticing this product appears to be. I will keep searching. Enough said.Customer Review: very un-usable product

Sorry if you're intested in a device to accomplish the stated function, keep looking...as this is junk...I received the item 3 days ago..and haven't been successful in using it...the idea is good...but even with low water pressure on my faucet...as soon as I get it attached and turn on the water -- even slowly -- the apparatus pops apart and you have water all over your kitchen...the screw on fitting remains on the faucet... the flaw is in the design - the part that attaches to the screw-on collar has very little variance - and either that bit of pressure pops it off-...or --- where the two elements attach don't allow for ANY moverment..I really tried everything --- and it was very disappointing...I will be returning it tomorrow and look for a higher quality designCustomer Review: Not a labor saver

Plastair SpringHose 50-Foot Coiled Water Hose, Ocean Blue #PUW650B93OT
I wanted something to make it easier for me to water the plants and flowers on my back deck and front porch; something easier than pulling out my heavy duty front-yard and back-yard garden hoses. Well, the two Plastair Springjet 50 Ft. oiled Hose and Wand set are a waste of time; not time savers. They are extremely light duty, don't connect to outside spigots very well (leaks at the connection) and pass water so slowly that an old fashioned watering can would have been much faster. My hoses are being sent back.
