Pocket Hose Ultra vs XHose Pro - The Final Word | EpicReviewGuys in 4k CC

[@stevewright4105]

I am in total agreement that the concept is great, the construction and the useful life of those products leave A LOT TO BE DESIRED.

[@meradah]

I'm so glad you did this review. I was thinking of getting the Pocket Hose Ultra for my grandfather for Father's Day. At 87, he gets his greatest pleasure from gardening. Unfortunately, the hose is getting a bit cumbersome for him. I was hoping this would be a solution to his problem. Darn.

[@c.c.keiser8685]

Thank you very much for the review. We bought 3 of the original pocket hoses and they worked great for a few months then they all split open at the connections. I saw they now had the "new improved" out but decided to check for reviews like this one! So glad I did.....you just saved my a pocket full of money on bad pocket hoses. I too loved the concept and thought they were great when we first used them. I sure hope they can fix them......maybe make them a little tougher and not quite so expendable. Even just expand to about twice would still be a vast improvement over conventional hoses.

[@runslowrunner]

Our x-hose pro just popped open mid hose. We got it around Christmas. so we got about six months out of it. Too bad it doesn't last because the concept is good. My husband was washing windows and came in to tell me it happened and he knew it didn't touch anything. He said he liked the concept so order another one. I decided to check out your reviews for current info and I am so glad I did before I wasted another dime on this. Sigh. Back to heavy regular hoses.

[@MsPreciousParrot]

I think it's great (very nice of you to do!) that you use your money and time, to make informational videos like this one, for others to watch... hopefully, before buying. I wish I had discovered your helpful videos - a long time ago! Thanks, again!

[@bucketrobbert]

it all depends on your water pressure also do you leave them inflated when not in use also do you drag your hose around full of pressure try that test

[@TheHandyman5108]

I agree with the pocket expandable hose review, nice concept but not perfected yet. I bought three of them and returned them all because they leaked just after a couple of days.

[@charliehilliard4144]

This is EXACTLY what happened to me this morning. I turned hose on, went to waster my hanging baskets, with the black hose with the brass fitting, and BOOM. It split open and I was covered in water in front of all my guests in the yard to see. Nothing is worse then trying to take off wet jeans grrrrrrrr. Took i back to Home Depot and they exchanged it for a 75 foot one. I also had those exact same leaks you showed in the video. I paid $49.99 for that black hose with the brass fittings. Home Depot said this is a common problem and I am to gently turn on the water, slowly with the tap open. Whats the point, thats not what they showed on TV, grrrrrr. When the hose split, a big blue bubble expanded, looked like a balloon and stupid me turned to see what the heck, and BOOM. The blue was the plastic hose inside that black covering.

[@cindyk9496]

I had 2 pocket hoses both did the same as yours. Back to a regular hard hose.

[@lindielee6322]

No surprised. I do prefer follow up reviews along with "RIGHT out of the box reviews" so thanks for the update.

[@dotgale1431]

Amen, great concept as you said, they need to work on quality. Very disappointed that mine burs-ted after just a few months. It was so easy to use and l loved not having to lug a heavy hose.

[@fiddlefaddle1]

I don't get it. I bought two of the x hose pros 25 footers from the Menards that I use to work for before I retired over four years ago and I still have them and they work great. No leaks or tears. The only thing that drives me crazy is the washer will occasionally fall out of the hose. Oh, and after over four years they don't contract like they did when I first bought them but, they are still lighter than a ordinary hose. Maybe I just got lucky or I know how to take care of my stuff.

[@jwhiz3219]

I wish it worked as designed. I like the concept, however all three of my hoses have sprung leaks and needed to be trashed. It was a waste of good money, but I would try another hose of its type if they prove to be more robust.

[@treydrier3169]

These are the same quality as the chemistry class hoses we used in college. We would fill them up with water and have water fights in the dorms. They inevitably ended up exploding as the rubber weakens with use. I have a pocket hose on my boat. I've used it a couple times. It feels really cheap with wimpy plastic fittings that you just know won't last.

[@quentinraffensperger1699]

Have you reviewed the lawn seed that mixes with your hose similar to hydroseed?

[@diylifeforever9939]

Parris did it end up blowing up or not I really want to know

[@lisaprince6844]

Mine did after two weeks, heard the sheathing tearing, looked down big white bubble-like a balloon and burst

[@kthoennes]

You're right, they're not yet ready for prime time. My black rubber garden hoses are a twisty, heavy pain in the neck, but at least they're not fragile and they don't burst every week. If I have to be delicate with a garden hose, no thanks.

[@kelly806]

I guess we got the good ones. Our pocket hose (all 3 of them) have held up for 2 years now.

[@fiddlefaddle1]

I've had mine for over four years and still fine.

[@rko8633]

My Xhose lasted a year before using it yesterday for washing the car and heard a big bang ,lost my water pressure and went to garden to find out it was flooded ,the pipe had exploded and great amount of water was coming from the pipe , guess I will go back to the standard hosepipe which ive had 5+ years .

[@EpicReviewGuys]

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes they do go out with a bang.

[@orlock20]

I believe what is happening is the same thing that happens in house pipes and irrigation lines. When the lines and pipes lose pressure by shutting off the water source, the pressure has to be returned slowly so they don't break.

[@tomaubrey9147]

Excellent review. I too sure do wish they could perfect these hoses. Because the concept is terrific. I loved them at first. But they just do not work yet. I have gone thru three of these myself, all burst. Doesn't matter what you do, or how you do it, they WILL burst or leak one day. Count on it. And buy different hoses. When they can make them more durable and better quality, then I will be the first in line!

[@lisaprince6844]

Had mine for a few weeks, I was watering and heard the green sheath tearing, than saw a big white bubble and it blew..never again!

[@MotiRadomski]

Thanks a lot for this video. Saved me some $$$. Will look for an alternative, although I really loved the idea of that contracting hose...

[@Dac-yb3ud]

Do you,use it every day

[@uncjim]

I bought a couple of 50 foot sections last season and have been loving the product. Maybe it's time for me to hold my breath. Nice job on your review. You must be a teacher..just a guess.

[@uncjim]

***** Thanks. Still going strong.

[@VacMaster1991]

2:40 He's so trying not to laugh at what it really looks like. ;)

[@wgmfl]

I was prepared to buy one of those but after viewing your video, (thanks by the way), I will just invest in a regular rubber hose that will last. Thank you again.

[@neveenjo5398]

I was thinking of buying the xhose,thank you so much for this great review♡

[@GAonMyMind]

THANKS FOR YOUR HONEST REVIEWS!

[@geekwiinik]

Thank saved my money, ¿Is there an organization in the United States that regulate this?

[@lvthud]

I must be the only lucky person in the world, I have been using a XHose for over a year now and no issues, of course now that I have typed that the thing will leak today, but so far I am happy with it.

[@EpicReviewGuys]

dave smith Of the several brands I bought originally to review one is still working.

[@lvthud]

I don't doubt it, looking at the construction they are pretty badly made, I have just gotten lucky so far.

[@clevefoster7270]

+dave smith haha......just don't leave it turned of at the wand and leave it. You'll come back to a flooded yard sooner or later.

[@2legit2trip53]

So glad I seen the reviews I almost bought one and I'm not a fan of wasted money lol

[@jonathanmoore5709]

the main reason why the expandable hoses are breaking on you is because you need to only turn the water pressor on half way not all the way

[@fecarlson]

Your pressure may be too high. Could damage plumbing in the house as it did the hose.

[@Msfrejo58]

Love the concept so bought the pocket Hose and it popped on 3rd use. Thought it should have improved when the pro model came out so bought that and it popped within a month. Great concept but bad execution

[@grayanderson6840]

Thank you for the video, I have decided not to buy one. I couldn't help but to notice you have a wart on your neck and one very close to your eye that must hinder you. Did you ever try to tie some cotton very tight around the base of the wart for a week or two? Give it a go and you deprive them of blood and they die and just drop off.

[@bibsywanks24]

be glad yours didn't completely explode like my pocket hose did.

[@macster1457]

I've had 3 of them.. they have all burst in less than a year.

[@uoohoo99]

You need to update this video.

[@colinsnyder5906]

So my hose broke and it did that and it popped

[@zozobp]

Thank you very much for your video. Its saved me a lot of money.

[@areents]

My x hose pro has worked for over a year now

[@areents]

Francesca Sidoti My pocket hose lasted 2 days

[@glennray8718]

Again,!! Thank You ALL. I never gave mine the chance!! HAH!!!!

[@dawnmeier2834]

could you please review Flexzilla hose?

[@EpicReviewGuys]

I have one on its way to me- I will have to check if it is this one.

[@ramosnato]

bought 3 hoses like these with in a month, first one lasted for 2 weeks, 2nd one lasted for a week, last one only lasted for only 5 minutes. They should pull this product out from the market.

[@125varma]

Thanks you for saving me the money and disappointment :)

[@worldwidehf]

they all are the same they all pop good idea but crap hoses depend on how often you use them but same thing happened to me dragged it and sprung a leak it lasted me like almost two years tho so....

[@krystalokada]

Such a bummer. I have been wanting to buy one. :( oh well.

[@MegaPeacelove12]

Shuld of let it popped see how much it took take of water

[@kkutube1972]

Both of my mine fail after 2 uses.

[@quentinraffensperger1699]

It's Wilson from Home Improvement.

[@lorettasink5296]

I also bought the new model As Seen on TV Ultra Pocket Hose and with the first use it sprang a leak. It was a 100 ft. and cost me $39.99. More money down the drain. I am disabled and need a light weight hose to water flowers on my deck.

[@jdlhandyman60]

Hi Loretta, Check out my new invention for your problems, Reel Solar on Facebook let me no what you think!

[@Slaize]

I was going to get a pocket hose. Looks like it's no bueno

[@mariopontes9898]

thank you for the information

[@gigigongora3030]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

[@Gullpojken]

Hey look! It's scarecrow from wizard of Oz.

[@CoOzEbOy1]

I hope you try to get your money back. Ive yet to find one As Seen In Tv product that lives up to its claims. You get what you pay for I guess. Except when it comes to that expensive x hose though.

[@mordokch]

Saved me some dosh there :) Funny story ... I was at my local sunday market and saw someone selling a copy of these expandable hoses - they where cheap and I was tempted. Then I looked closer and found they where just normal hoses with rags tied round them ! Basically if it was 8 foot dry it would be 8 foot wet lol. The stupidity of those chinese copy merchants never fails to amaze me !!!

[@frosted1030]

What did you expect when you use a balloon instead of a hose?

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

I did a video on my channel of repairing one of these hoses.

[@maconsumner]

+MotherOfManyHorses Why? what's the point, the product is a piece of crap from end to end.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

+maconsumner Why not? If I could save a few bucks and I get an extra length of hose that I could use, if it worked. If it doesn't, oh well.

[@maconsumner]

MotherOfManyHorses don't worry about what I say, I am just not very happy with not just the product but their customer service. It was bad all around and I am not going to have anything nice to say about them.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

+maconsumner I understand.

[@Ca31_Buff]

I got this hose and I got 2 both of them popped

[@worldwidehf]

yes i had two that poped also its crap

[@jimwortham8634]

Could be the best hose idea in the world if they ever protected so far no profession

[@TheTurboman2]

Aqua Joe 50' Expandable Lightweight Kink-Free Hose on QVC looks like a far better option Aluminum fittings are crap and are the dud standard in the hose industry. They corrode from minerals in the water unless you remove them often. Even the anodized aluminum will corrode in a short time. Aluminum is not a nice fitting. Try removing it with vice grips once seized. They disintegrate. Water flow through most "inflatable" hoses is noticeably lower so unless you're trying to take longer to water your landscape or clean with your hose plan on it taking longer.

[@5150roc]

JUNK, JUNK JUNK. I bought the XHose Pro and after following their directions and using it twice, it actually went ·:·:*¨¨*:·BOOM !! .·:*¨¨*:··: The water pressure in my area is actually low and it couldn't even handle that. I bought a 50' at CVS, but unfortunately I lost my receipt so I'm S.O.L.

[@offcampuspubs]

The final word on these hoses: They are CRAP! Last year (2015) I bought and returned 9 hoses, it's now 2016 and I've already bought and returned 5. I love the light weight and ease of wrapping it up, but I hate false advertising even more. So for that reason alone I have three hoses, one is a back up for when one of the others breaks. I then return it, get my money back and buy another.

[@Fornitekid241]

I love your videos

[@MsTechMommy]

the one on tv says it has a life time warranty I think it is the guy off home improvement indorses that is what tv commercial says

[@TheTurboman2]

yes but who's life time? The life time of the hose just happens to be 3 weeks thus a lifetime warranty. Aqua Joe 50' Expandable Lightweight Kink-Free Hose on QVC looks like a far better option Aluminum fittings are crap and are the dud standard in the hose industry. They corrode from minerals in the water unless you remove them often. Even the anodized aluminum will corrode in a short time. Aluminum is not a nice fitting. Try removing it with vice grips once seized. They disintegrate. Water flow through most "inflatable" hoses is noticeably lower so unless you're trying to take longer to water your landscape or clean with your hose plan on it taking longer.

[@gordonslipko5662]

returned 3 and will never buy again , it cost me for gas, better with a regular hose,,,,may be a in convience once in awhile....the hose isnt worth it

[@samuelsadventures9905]

Wow for so much money they should at least add two in a pack.

[@geoffjones9899]

i bought one of these from e bay connected it up and went to give the car a wash within 2 0r 3 minutes the spray gun blew 0ff haha bloody soaked chucked it straight in the bin absolute rubbish

[@justgivemethetruth]

Yup

[@CanadaSocial]

Thanks that saved me money

[@wanafly12]

excuse me but i have a company to go sue. thanks

[@taranjeetdhaliwal9112]

You have too much water pressure

[@phillip5545]

Everything I have heard about all these type hoses is that they are just garbage! Too bad! I'll buy a couple as soon as they perfect them.

[@tylerthomas6243]

My hose was good until my dog chew on it

Can you do a review on Hydro Mousse (hydromousse.com) please!!!

[@charminglad124]

We have a saying for someone who knows they are being scammed but continue to buy...'come in spinner' Come on...anything seen on infocommercials doesn't work...or does not last very long...it's all crap...just crap...

[@charlesballah6300]

I bought a pocket hose and it lasted one day took it back to home depot and got another one and it only lasted a week. I am done with this crap. DONT BUY A POCKET HOSE.

[@coreywilliams4949]

Ugh why do you rude youtubers always talk crap about the things that break all the time?! Keep the rude comments to yourselfs!!

[@timothy232365]

So these Hoses are garbage I'm glad i watch this i was going to buy one

[@XimaX-NL]

Haha how could you ever think products like this can be any good? If a hose is that light, it just can't be any good. Too thin and weak. People try to safe money by these kinds of products but they end up spending more than just a solid product what cost a little more.

[@harriskollam8200]

X Hose

[@jo513josie]

Yes I bought the blue one. Lasted about 10-15 uses. As I was washing the car I put the hose down for about 1-2minutes and then it Blew. Don't buy Do not buy there is to many of these hoses blowing out. Probably chinese made. RUBBISH
