Tools and Hardware Reviews of Plastair SpringJet PUJ250B93OT-AMZ 50-Foot 1/4-Inch Polyurethane Coil Hose and Wand Set - Blue
Customer Review: Convenient, but a couple quirks
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very nice product for its intended use (albeit one that is rather similar to many others marketed elsewhere). However, please bear in mind a couple of subtleties that may not be obvious from the item description:(1) The length of the hose is measured at its theoretically full extension. However, the hose never actually reaches this full extension because of elastic resistance (i.e. the very same "spring" effect which is the reason you presumably bought the hose) and torsion along the length of the hose as it is stretched. My experience is that you lose approximately 25% of the hose's length to these two effects. The only way to beat this is by making sure that the hose's rated length is that much LONGER than you need.
(2) Make sure that you have the appropriate adapter permitting you to attach the hose to your faucet. Designer faucets, faucets with hose attachments, imported faucets, and outdoor faucets all may have trouble working with this hose out of the box.
Customer Review: Cuts down watering time dramatically!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this tool for easy plant watering. It's lightweight and the 50' length can reach all of my potted plants on the main floor of my house, the front porch, and back deck without changing faucets. No more filling pitchers over and over and walking back and forth dripping on the floor. As is typical, it leaks slightly at the faucet attachment, but that drains into the sink so there is no mess. Also, the plastic coupler is sometimes difficult to unscrew from the faucet when finished.Customer Review: Does not work!
Summary: 1 Stars
Despite many negative reviews on this product, I went ahead and bought it hoping the product would work but it did not. The hose is the perfect size that I was looking for because I have a balcony garden and I have to carry pitcher after pitcher outside. The fixtures are metal but it would keep popping off my faucet. Even if it did fit securely, the hose has an inherent defect because the water literally enters the hose one drip at a time because the metal fixture is attached to the pipe with a plastic part that has a tiny little hole. I am back to the pitchers of water again!Customer Review: Doing the job for now but cheaply made
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this to be able to quickly water plants and top off our hot tub and it is doing the job for now. It is soooooo cheaply made that I am pretty sure it will not last long. The plastic parts have all kinds of flashing left on them, the open/close latch doesn't work because the parts don't fit well, it leaks.Customer Review: Don't unhook it
Summary: 2 Stars
I like it but the part where the hose hooks onto the sink is made of plastic so everytime you take it off it strips the inside. The end result is water shooting out of the top part. I ended up going out and buying another one with a metal connector.
