Tools and Hardware Reviews of Plastair SpringHose PUW650B93OT-AMZ 50-Foot 3/8-Inch Polyurethane Coil Garden Hose - Blue Translucent
Customer Review: Excellent for a Secondary Hose
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't use this hose as your only yard hose that you plan on hauling half around the house, hooking sprinklers up to, or other "regular" hose use. It simply doesn't work too well for that type of stuff.However, I am using this hose in the front of my house to water a particular tree and some shrubs that aren't worth hauling the big heavy green house around the house to water them.
This hose is real light, stylish, and takes up very little space. It is not the eye sore like the big green hoses. I have even gotten compliments on it from the neighbors. I have noticed that people who use Macintosh computers tend to like the hose the most. What is it with the translucent colors and Mac users anyway? :)
It did everything I wanted and more!

Customer Review: Plastair coiled water hose
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought the concept of this hose was great, unfortunately in a real life garden it is not.
Don't think because this hose is coiled it will not kink, in fact it kinks more than any hose I have ever had.
As long as you keep tension on the hose from the faucet it works good, however loosen the tension or walk back toward the faucet and you have a tangled mess. A mess that is a real bugger to undo.
The coiled hose tense to be a real hazard to your small plants, delicates & pots it reeks havoc on them.
All in all, I salute the idea and the only real good I am getting out of this hose now is for tying up my trees.
Yes, I cut the hose up into pieces and I am using this for tying trees to stakes for this I give it 5 stars for
watering my plants it gets 2 stars.

Plastair SpringHose 50-Foot Coiled Water Hose, Ocean Blue #PUW650B93OT
I live in an apartment without any outside water spigots. I have a container garden and flowers outside. Watering was a total pain lugging a large watering jug back and forth, back and forth. Not to mention filling it in a kitchen sink. Ugh! Now I just hook up my springhose to either my kitchen sink or bathroom faucet and my watering is done in minutes instead of over an hour of lugging and hauling. I have never had any drips or leaks on my floor or carpeting and I drag it from the front of my apartment through the house and into the back. LOVE IT!!!!
Customer Review: No Pressure, knocks stuff over
Summary: 1 Stars
I am an Extension Agent who specializes in Horticulture and I can tell you that this is a poor idea for a product. First, there is insufficient flow though the narrow hose. It takes a long time to properly water with this product. The second major flaw is that once you're more than a few feet from spigot, the hose tends to make a straight line between you and it thereby knocking over pots and breaking fragile stems. The retraction "feature" also makes it hard to set a sprinkler out in the yard without staking it down. You would be better served by buying a quality supple hose and spending the 45 seconds (I timed it) to properly wind a hose. This might be okay for someone in a Condo or only has a few plants on a deck.Customer Review: Great for watering pots on the deck!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a replacement hose for our deck. It works well for watering the many potted plants. Then it coils back and around the bottom of one pot which adds to the decor and takes care of storage. One thing I didn't realize is a smaller hose limits the pressure somewhat and when I use a pressure nozzle to clean the deck, it's effectiveness is greatly reduced. This probably will not be a big issue, since my main purpose was to get a hose that would work well for the potted plants and be easy to put away daily. It is perfect for that. Also, remember the coil takes up some of the length. It is a good idea to purchase a hose longer than needed.
