My dog chews up all my hoses. I'm buying one of these.
I have it for 4 years+, it is wonderful. No more punctures by nails or anything sharp on the ground. It doesn't kink with the rubber ones either. It is ok to drive on top of it. I bought 2 more for various parts of the yard. I highly recommend it. 🤗🤗
Where did you get yours? Do you know the brand or company? Mine came apart at the faucet end and I don’t if there is a way to fix it?
Wow, this so-far seems terrific. It's obviously better than what I've been using and tangling with all these years.
I'm looking forward to your update.
Thank you for checking this out. Great review!
I have had my 100ft. stainless hoses for 6 years. I live in Texas where the summer temps are 105-118 degrees. Both of my 100ft. hoses are outside in the hot humid elements. We got snow one year. (For 2 weeks.) My hoses remained outside. Both work fine. I am happy with no tangles and works great, ANY plastic hose lasts one year outside due to the weather. No one wants to drag hoses in and out every other day.
I've been checking out these various hoses online: Metal Hose, Hercules Hose, Bionic Hose. They all seem to have the same problems. For the most part they are as awesome as advertised, BUT the inner hose (which has to be thin and flexible in order for the hose to have all those wonderful properties) separates ON THE INSIDE from one of the ends. It can't be fixed like a regular hose. A secondary failure is that the metal coil separates from itself sometimes, exposing the inner tube which isn't meant to last unprotected by the metal.
So far so good, but I'm only six weeks in. I was wondering about the issues you are noting as I can see those as potential weaknesses. IF, what you are saying happens in the first summer, then the economics of them may not be worth it. They are NOT inexpensive hoses. I might go back to the end of season on sale flexible green ones if I start seeing the problems you note. IF they last two years though, the ROI would likely be worth it. We will see.
I had this separation problem. The hose has a warning not to keep in under pressure. I am on my second hose (the company replaced the first one) and it separated again.
I have several of the bionic and had that issue on 1 out of 3. Not bad, but in fairness I think the metal got run over at some point. I have had them for over a year, so decent compared with the summer heat damage on the regular hoses.
I keep thinking...wow...that is a long shower head hose!
Bought a 50 ft metal garden hose in spring 2017. Lasted til June 2018 before the connection joints at the male and female connectors at each end began to leak. Metal casing came apart, too. I drained the hose in the fall to make sure there was minimal residual water in the line during the winter. I REALLY liked this hose for the light weight, flexibility and ease of movement, but it didn't last. Not sure I'll buy another one.
I've used lifetime rubber hoses for years and decided to try this hose. At first I LOVED LOVED LOVED this hose but 2 weeks into using it daily the end that attaches to the spigot blew. After pulling back the rubber green cover I found it had blown the hose out of the rubber gasket connection. Although I was able to force the hose back in it wouldn't hold under pressure and I see no good way to replace the end if the connection stops holding. It isn't like I an cut off the end and put a replacement on it like other hoses. So for me I will stick with old fashioned lifetime rubber hoses that continue to last me for years and years even after being left in extreme hot and freezing conditions.
Just trying to help...were you aware of the 12 Month Replacement Warranty? I wasn't until I looked up the info online...didn't notice anything about a warranty on the outer packaging. Hope this info finds you in time. Good luck!
You obviously work for the company as you have written this no less then 4-5 times.
Danna Hatchett me too, same here. Cant fid any repair parts of anyone to do it
Was a piece of junk, lasted 10 minutes and hole blew out side
Lasted a year with light use the the female end blew off and no way to repair.
I've had mine for two years and I will never buy a rubber hose again. I seen a lot of bad comments about this hose and it might be because they are buying cheep brands. I hate rubber hose because of them kinking all the time, these don't and they put away easily when done using. I've even ran over mine twice and have not had any problems. Love them and glad I found them!
What's ur brand name...?
I just came across your channel about a week ago.Ur thorough reviews are excellent! I can tell your going places here on UA-cam. U have a new subscriber. Keep up the hard work.
Thank you Marc, I appreciate it!
Please stick to older rubber version. It lasted 3 weeks till started leaking.
I can’t say enough good things about this amazing hose. It does NOT heat up in the sun. It’s lightweight and easy to handle. I bought one for my Dad who is 87 and he too is amazed by the hose. Best hose on the market!
Someday maybe not in my lifetime they will build a expandable hose that works
I’m still waiting 😪
I have had one for a month and I still love it. The plastic Nozzle does leak a little though.
I've owned two of them. I have several dogs who like to chew regular hoses. Thought this was a solution. It did solve the dog problems. However both sprang leaks in the middle areas of the hose with a fairly small interval of use. And both leaks progressing to gushing very quickly. Hoses were trash then. Still looking for a dog proof hose.
Super helpful just wondering how hot the water may be in it when you first turn it on !
Hi I bought one of these hose and when I connect it to the spout it was leaking when I turned on the water is it suppose to have a rubber gasket in there ? Thank you
nice review i have a problem when it gets hot with regular hoses bursting if i leave them under pressure
One year and pulled the connector off @ nozzle, . Inner tube has retracted about 18" into steel outer casing. Any Ideas to pull the inner tube back to end?
Great testing!!
Had mine (2 of them are 100-foot long) for 5 years now. The gaskets hold up good. No problem with heat. They don't kink either. Pressure on them is good. I've had flat spots where something heavy was dropped on one.
The only issue I noted are the fittings. You will note the fittings are "aluminum", and they are of good construction. The problem comes from this fact. If you live in an area where there is no danger of freezing and you leave the hose attached to a brass fitting over a period of time (year or more) the aluminum and brass will weld themselves together and you'll need pliers to disconnect them. The solution is to install Teflon plumbers tape on the male fitting threads.
My hose cart has brass fittings and that's how I found this out.
In all totally satisfied with mine.
I love my steel garden hoses. I liked the expanding hoses, but my dogs kept chewing them. No leaks from chewing since I got the steel hoses. I've had them a while. The problem I have is that the male end of the hose attached to the nozzle began leaking and kept getting worse. I unscrewed the sleeve over the end and found that a little blue washer popped out of the metal clamp that hooks the end to the hose. I bought another one, but I would like to repair the leaking one if possible. The hose itself is in great condition. Do you know where I can get the proper fittings to repair steel hoses?
How do you fix the broken connector. For some reason my car ran over it and it went broke (not what its ad says). No one fixes it and no tools i know to cut the steel, buy the ends and retrofit?
Thanks!! helpful don't have one yet.
Hi, Hoping you'll do a review on the Bionic Steel HeavyDuty Garden Hose.
is it supposed to hold up in cold at all? even with no pressure...(its gets very cold in PA and we have lost hoses to the cold, even when stored properly) if that is a claim they make, perhaps you can put it in the freezer?
Mike, can you perform the same exact test with the Steel Metal hose vs. the Hercules hose. You hammered the Hercules, but not the steel. I wonder if it would be the same effect. It would be good to see a vs between the two as Hercules is coiled around an inner tube whereas the steel hose is not. Thanks.
I have the AquaJoe 100 foot stainless version. First one busted within 6 weeks w/ very light usage. They honored their warranty & hose #2 kinked/dented within 2 weeks lol.
Can you use any nozzle on the end, or will it only fit the one that comes with it?
I have a 100 ft. Hose and it has not been used a lot but when I turned it on it has a leak about 5 ft from the nozzle. I need to see if I can repair it.
That second "cactus" is actually a Sago Palm...
Ahahaha,,,, I was thinking the same thing
I connect 2 metal garden hoses together and store them on a wheel type storage. I pull them completely the 100 feet length. I really like the metal garden hose but it starts leaking at the connection of the two hoses.I tighten the connection but it doesn't help. The leak comes from between the connector and the hose
Does the metal hose receive scratches from or scratch or scuff a driveway or stone tiles like on a patio if dragged across each surface?
I just got my metal water hose today from QVC how is yours holding up...
I came across this video searching to repair my metal hose. I bought the exact hose and loved it for the short time it worked. After just one month of use the rubber tubing inside came loose from connector and it slipped about 2 feet inside the metal casing. I can't figure out how to fish it out to repair it. The rubber insert doesn't have bands or anything that keeps it from slipping inside. Bummer, I really liked it.
Same here. Randomly started leaking like crazy at the end of the hose.
Great review.
How would you compare it to Pocket Hose? I like the pocket hose as it takes up a fraction of the space of a regular hose, and where we are living, space is critical.
I think they are marketed with different purposes. Retractable hoses like Pocket Hose are highlighted for their ability to retract into a very compact state, while Metal Garden Hose is promoted for being lightweight and highly durable. Most retractable hoses I've used in the past didn't last very long, which is why something like Metal Garden Hose may appeal to some consumers.
I posted the other day about me having one of these and the nozzle blowing off I sat down and look at it and took a pair of long nose needle nose pliers and out pulls the clear rubber insert I got it pulled out I got a small clamp I put the threaded end back on with the clamp it’s working fine
Ive had mine awhile. It works great.
what this is standard shower hose since the 1980 in here Finland were i live its just interlocking metal rings whit tube inside
Thanks. I'm thinking to get one, the Bionic metal hose thingy
I bought mine in late August 2019 and used for one month then put inside for winter. Just brought it out to use and it leaks everywhere. All the way down the whole hose! I used for one month!
Hello, it's been a while now since you test the metal garden hose. How is it doing now? Still good?
Is this hose 1/2" or 5/8" diameter? Also what is the warranty?
So far it looks like a good alternative to other lightweight hoses that get destroyed in weeks. I also wonder how hot the metal will get under high heat. Although it would cool down quickly when turned on with cold water running through it.
I look forward to posting a follow-up in the heat of the summer.
I have a bionic 25ft Hose that started a fast leak at the nozzle after two weeks. It is an internal problem how can it be fix.
Good review. Thanks...
wow, I've never seen that before. I see more as seen on TV stuff here first before I see the ads on TV. would like to know if that hose is rust proof and leak proof.
coondogtheman1234 rust proof and leak proof don't really exist. More rust resistant and leak resistant
I made a rust proof leak proof garden hose. Just get two hose ends from a hardware store, one male and one female then get some food grade plastic tubing of the same size. (ex. 5/8 hose ends and 5/8 plastic tubing) Most hose ends you buy come with a clamp. I made that after I bought that stupid pocket hose and it never leaked. the only problem I had was I used the pocket hose ends and they broke off, easy fix replace with brass.
I bought 3 150' steel hose 3/4 about 4 yrs ago one (my fault) left winter water on and head gasket flew off
Tried contacting company..no help..went to plumbing store....no pieces like manufacturer's so tried closest thing..impossible to reassemble
Do you have any suggestions for 3/4 metal hose...😢😢
You are the hero this community needs and deserves!
Maybe I should wear a cape with the As Seen on TV logo. :-)
:)
I have one of these hoses I have never had a complaint until today I went to use it I turn the water on and the nozzle and blew off there does not look like anyway to put this back on if someone knows how to repair this please let me know
My hose just started leaking. Still under 1 year warranty. Would like to fix the leak but how?
A rust review would be a good thing to look out for! Thanks
Dak LaFever looks like the hose in my shower that has never rusted.
Dak LaFever Highly unlikely that stainless steel will rust.
It doesn’t rust have had it for about a year no issues with it and no rust honestly it’s the best and only hose you will ever need
I really like my stainless steel hoses, but I have that that blew out the male end. How can I fix it?
Can anyone tell me how this hose handles harsh winter conditions and transitioning between hot and cold? Thats when leaks typically start to occur.
Mine was working fine and then yesterday the nozzle popped off and there is no way to put it back on. I have had the hose for 6 months.
I’m getting it! Don’t trust commercials but do trust your reviews!
How was it
How does a long metal hose do in a hose reel?
I had one metal hose. Used several times in a week. Yesterday, I used on s power washer. The pulling while power washing burst the hose.
I just received mine today from HSN under the brand Belmont hose. I was right away disappointed to see aluminum couplings. Also, I could not find any specs on that, or hose diameter on the INSIDE of hose. Or any measurement of diameter period. The 100 foot hose was on sale, which I need the extra length as I only have one outdoor spigot. I do have 30 days to try, but I live in MN and the aluminum couplings turned me right off, and claims have been made aluminum to brass will fuse and ruin the spigot on your house!
Do you have an interstate running through your back yard?
It's sounds like that lol
Can u compare this product to BIONIC STEEL HOSE? They seem very similar.
Hi If it is a hose of Buyplus brand?
great video !
Many home owners leave their hose on for days on end. I would like to see if this one springs a leak under many days of pressure.
Mine blew after 2 weeks but I do have incredible water pressure. No matter how tough the hose is it still has a lousy connection on the spigot end. Good thing it was the connection because I don't see how it can be repaired if it is anything else.
If you leave your hose on you are a fucking nitwit and deserve any damage you may get
@@20MOJO20 well aren't you were rude douche
@@20MOJO20 LOLOL!!!!
@@20MOJO20 You can always tell the Di*kheads, they always have the phoney baloney names.
I purchased one of those horrible stretch black hoses for my RV water supply... when it arrived I read the tag...."NOT for Potable water" Is this metal hose OK with water I need to used for drinking and cooking.
The packaging states that it's not to be used for drinking. It states: "Portions of this hose are known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. DO NOT drink from hose. Wash hands after use."
If you have a garden - with the warning the packaging indicates - wonder if the metal garden hose leachates lead?? I wouldn't want to water my fruits and veggies that I was going to eat with that hose..
Thank you again!!!
LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PRODUCT FOR FULL-TIME RAVING. DOES IT COME IN 25' AND CAN IT BE USED AS A POTABLE OR DRINKING WATER HOSE. I'M SURE SELF REGULATING HEAT TAPE WOULD WORK REALLY WELL WITH THIS HOSE. GOOD REVIEW AS USUAL.
Hey Greg, yes there is a 25' version out there. I don't see any mention about its use for drinking water. Thanks for watching!
Per drinking, I noticed in the disclaimer that it reads: "Portions of this hose are known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. DO NOT drink from hose. Wash hands after use."
Thank you brother. I was thinking of it as a drinking water hose for my motor home which I'm in FULL-TIME and drinking water hoses from camping world and other places just don't hold up. Kink the Chinese brass is garbage DAMN shame because it looks like the last hose you would have to buy. I'm going to have deal with the garbage till someone can make a drinking water hose that lasts more than a year. Or build my own with premium brass fittings.
I want to know if it stands up to being drug across concrete all the time? I have a lot of plants lining my driveway and regular garden hoses ware out in no time. I go through two hoses every summer.
I would say it does. I purposely left it on the patio where my big dog is always playing. We step on it and drag it around all the time and it doesn't seem to be affected by the concrete.
Thank you.
Freakin' Reviews the hose does roll if you step on it with your heel or ball of your foot though! Be careful! I've almost fallen a couple of times so I make sure I step over it!
Thank you Patty
Looks like a home builder went "Hmm, let me turn this conduit into a garden hose, that will work!"
Hah it really does!
Did you ever get a chance to do a follow up video regarding if it was still cool to the touch in hot weather?
I'm waiting for it to get just a little bit warmer here in Las Vegas just to give it a good test. As soon the thermometer hits 100 degrees I'll post something.
Watching your channel had saved me mega $$$.
What I'd like to know is if it's the same rubber tube insert on the inside. Care to cut it open? If it's like the X-Hose and the others, then it might not last very long in Phoenix. Like Las Vegas these kinds of things last 2 weeks in the desert and just leak like hell after that.
I want to give it a good summer exposure test before cutting it open, but that's a good idea to see how it looks inside.
I have had and used mine daily for over 7 years. Just yesterday though, mine got stuck on the hose bib so need to replace. I'm in Phoenix and never got burnt once and it coils up beautifully and is lightweight with no kinks.
I have one it's not the same brand and I love it even dogs can chew it up
Can't
All the tests you performed are real and positive. But when I pulled the metal hose to unravel it , the green connector started to leak, and I cant find a repair kit for it. Can you show me how to repair the leak.
i have same issue
well...it's been a year.. How are you feeling about that hose now?
A BX garden hose what will they try to sell you next ? Wish my life was so good that garden hoses were a big problem
You should test out the flexzilla and the turbo shot
pressure test , thats what we looking for, not sunglasses lol
I have been using the hose for about 3 years and no problems but if u step on it it will trip you sliding off
Mine is 2 years old and started leaking the first year, almost unusable it now leaks so much.
How long did the house last
I got 2 of these because my neighbor keep cutting my hoses. Putting slits in them and running over them. He even went as far to have his Aunt go to his house every day for 2 weeks and run over my hose. Even after I reminded her it was there. But she still did. It stopped the cutting and running over because they are not burstable and puncture proof.
But the down fall is that the ends blow off so you have to press them back on.
P.s. both units hookups are on his side of the unit. In case you are wondering why it's in a location to be tampered with.
Do yourself a favor and install a faucet on your own house, it's not that hard.
pressure depends on what your water pressure is from the hose bib outside .City water and well water would have different in pressure
Not necessarily. Most city water is around 50 psi - there is usually an in-line limiter if it is higher. My well is set to 45 - 60 psi, so it is just as high as city water.
The usual limit is either long runs of small diameter pipes to the hose bib and/or small diameter hose.
That hose looks like it is 1/2" inside diameter at best. That will reduce the pressure at the nozzle quite a bit - especially over a 50 foot hose run. You would have to cut a hose in half to find out what the internal diameter of the internal hose actually is.
These are okay for watering potted plants, or washing the dog, but they simply don't flow very much water, due to the small inside diameter and the restrictive fittings on each end. Filling a 5 gallon bucket or a small kids wading pool with one of these will take 4 or 5 times as long as a regular five-eighths inch garden hose, and rinsing off the family car will take twice as long.
Donny Hinson I see where your coming from with the small inside diameter but I can say that washing my car with it was just as effective as a regular hose
I have 10 metal garden hoses and they have all failed because the inner hose is either plastic or vinyl and it ultimately tears if you do not keep the hose in a linear position or if you pull it from a real by the nozzle.
Minute 1:50 the hose got proposed 💍 😆
“Tied the knot”
I purchased a medal garden hose late last summer and it worked great until about a month ago the water wouldn't flow through the hose. My only conclusion is that somehow it kinked. Very disappointed. Has anyone else had this problem with this hose?
The pressure of the water didn't look that great to me. Show me a lightweight metal garden hose with good solid fairly high pressure and you'll have me interested.
It's going to be relative to what your water pressure is
what if it gets run over by a car or the end blows out the rubber hose can be cut and repaired with a hose repair kit 5 bucks
but what about water flow?
how about with a pressure washer?
As with many hoses, there are internal different diameters. Most appear to be 3/8ths like most hoses. Smaller diameter, more pressure, less water, depends upon your needs.
Have u ever tried Zero G garden hose .?
Yes....they leak. They cover you under warranty. Not with a replacement home but with cash instead. That tells me the Zero G is yet another bad hose. Disappointing, I had three bought at different intervals. All but two leak.
so where is part two?
The best hoses I've ever had were from Costco, heavy duty and long lasting.
If anyone has an Ollie's Bargain Outlet near them they have the 25 foot Hose Hero for $9.99
Will this hose survive weed wacker? Every hose I buy, my boyfriend always destroys it with the wacker.
loved it till I got a leak in it. no idea how to fix it.
You start the coil at the faucet coil out that way it in twists Okay just saying .
Hose came apart at connection, they would not replace. Don't waste your money.
Just trying to help...were you aware of the 12 Month Replacement Warranty? I wasn't until I looked up the info online...didn't notice anything about a warranty on the outer packaging. Hope this info finds you in time. Good luck!
@@ashleymoore2592 did you not read? he said they would not replace it...
What brand?
Any updates???
