I got one of these last go around and I do not regret it in the least.
Big plus is the valve that lets you shut off the water when you swap nozzles or connect the hose to a power washer without having to walk back to the valve on the house.
Link to last time, there were a lot of questions then.
Is the valve shutoff made of plastic or metal?
Metal. I got two of these. I had gotten their (Rachio) organic fertilizer kit sold here on woot and it came with a 75ft hose. These things are very heavy duty. Valve handle, the ends, all metal.
Disappointed after a year. Got two of these when on sale in Sep 2022. Didn’t take them out of their plastic carry bags until summer 2023. Now as summer 2024 starts, one has sprung a leak and the other just broke, with the inner hose tearing away from the connector to the spigot.
Used maybe a dozen times. They were under cover (wraparound porch) all the time, not out in the sun. And the water was off with the hose drained/retracted when I was not using it.
