We purchased 3 of the Pocket Hoses from the Home Depot. All three hoses broke. The first one had the plastic end break off so we threw it away. The second on built up pressure while filling up and sprung a leak so we threw that away too. The third one filled with water, started building up pressure, and then literally exploded like an overfilled water balloon would do. Being the material of the hose is thicker than a water balloon, when it exploded, it was a very loud pop and water shot everywhere. My husband has hypertension, and this startling explosion certainly wasn't good for his blood pressure. I went to report this to Home Depot online and began reading other people's product reviews and see that this is occurring quite often.

I was standing on a concrete walk way while using the Bionic Steel Hose to water my garden. I took a step back and stepped on the hose, the hose rolled and I fell back and broke my wrist. I had to have an operation to put a plate in my wrist. My wrist will never be the same and aches all the time. They should warn people to be careful using on a hard surface. The hose rolls and you can fall back and injure yourself.

White slimy goo coming from the inside of a flexilla water hose. It smells like raw sewage. When I fill the dogs’ 5 gallon water bucket with water, the goo is floating in the water. When I fill the bucket straight from the faucet, there is no goo in the water. I have a degree in biology so I know it’s bacterial and possibly fungal as well. I’ve never had this happen before with other water hoses. This water hose was purchased early this summer from Amazon. I noticed it before but thought nothing of it because I didn’t notice the smell. We have hard water and I thought it might be hard water deposits.

Flexible Hose by TriStar Products Inc. - Caller purchased, said it is so lightweight that a child or elderly person can use this hose. Caller was using the hoses that she purchased with the two hooked together to obtain 50ft rather than 25ft. She finished watering her yard, the hose began retracting but it hit the caller in the face on her forehead, nose and her right eye. She is blind in her left eye so this blinded her for a few moments. Caller states that one end of the hose was in her hand with the other hooked to the water on the house. I asked her how the hose was retracting if she had one end in her hand and it was connected to the water at the house on the other end. She stated that it just began retracting. She treated herself, did not go to the hospital or visit the doctor. She contacted the manufacturer via 1 (973)-287-5160.

The consumer indicates that he was spraying water and then he disengaged the shut-off valve. When the consumer engaged the valve once again to continue spraying water, the unit exploded in his right hand but no blood was drawn. The consumer spoke to a Doctor via a virtual appointment and was referred to Radiology. 08/31/2024 - At Radiology, they informed the consumer that nothing was broken however due to the continued swelling, he was referred to his Primary Physician. The consumer states that he uses his garden hose approximately once per week. The consumer plans on keeping his garden hose for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.

I was washing my car and using a HydroTech hose. While washing the vehicle I heard a loud bang following by water spraying. The hose has failed while not being discharged and impacted numerous items on the exterior of the house. I incurred an impact from the detached section of the hose while securing it

I was spraying off my deck with the hose and it developed a bubble at the neck of the hose. About the same time I discovered this it burst and I was soaked with water. I threw the hose down on the ground and walked down the steps to turn off the water. Then I started to itch. I looked at my arms. They were both covered in hives. I went inside and removed my wet clothes. I was covered in hives where my clothes had touched me.

I purchase an XHOSE Pro (75' length). Product website: https://www.xhose.com/pro/. The product worked fine for two or three times. The next time I used the hose, the webbing ripped open and the inside rubber hose ballooned and exploded with a loud noise like a gun going off. Luckily I noticed a brief disturbance in the flow and looked down a split second before the explosion so that I could prepare myself for the startling sound about to erupt. I don't know if rubber hose fragments were scattered but will investigate a bit more. Certainly this could also be dangerous if a person, child, or small animal was next to the hose and made contact with it when it ballooned and erupted. I will contact my credit card company and the vendor and seek reimbursement. However, I think this product is faulty and potentially dangerous in a number of respects. I read precautions/instructions before use and followed them.
