The Best Expandable Garden Hoses For General Purposes

31 July 2020 by Wezaggle Leave a Comment

A garden hose is an important part of any serious gardeners arsenal because water is key to growth. They are also easily transported and unravel up to 4x the original length. Perfect for car washing, cleaning and watering plants. So, in this article, we are going to reveal our thoughts on the best expandable hoses!

Quality Extendable Hoses

A good expandable hose must recoil back to its original compacted length and be made to last. We will not be including cheap plastic imitations that last a year and start to split because the elements have taken hold!

Quality connectors, rubber and insulation is a must because you don’t want any splits or leaks later on! A good garden hose should last 10-15 years easily.

Buying Quality Over Quantity!

Buying a quality hose will keep inferior plastic adaptors and hoses out of landfill sites because they last 10x longer. Metal fittings, rubber and latex are also an important part when you buy an expandable garden hose! Avoid those pound shop fittings and plastic hoses because they never last the test of time!

The Flexi 50ft Expandable Hose

The Flexi hose is a great piece of kit! It’s a 50ft expandable hose with brass fittings to keep it working all year round. Our own Flexi hose is about 4 years old now and shows no signs of splitting or leaking!

This is the best expandable hose we have ever used, it’s lightweight easy to move when extended and connects well to the outside tap with no leaks. We have left it in the garden all year round so we know its a keeper!

  • Materials: Rubber, Latex and brass fittings
  • Lightweight and extends to 50ft
  • Will hold 12 bars of pressure (Average UK water pressure is 0.5 bar)

Another great alternative to Flexi Hose is the Gospire expandable 50ft hose. It is another well-made product that is built to last. They offer a 2-year warranty if something does happen over this time. It’s a cheaper model and the reason it’s in second place is because of the hose being less sturdy when compared to the Flexi hose.

  • Materials: Metal fittings, polyester and rubber
  • Alloy punch (connector) so no rust inside fittings
  • Lightweight and extendable to 50ft 17 when relaxed
  • Will hold 3-12 bars of pressure
  • On and off brass valve 3/4 inches (UK standard)
  • Rubber seals where needed
  • 2-year guarantee
  • 8 spray settings
  • £29-39
