Gardena 13 mm x 50 m Comfort Flex Hose - Multi-Colour & 18213-20 Water Stop Connector - Orange

Far better than my old Hozelock hose, very sturdy and the connectors are all drip free. Not cheap but excellent.

Looking for a horse pipe that is substantially made and feels like it when you pick it up and use it?Looking for a hose that is reasuringly weighty and sturdy? Then buy this Gardena Comfort Flex one.This Gardena hose is absolutely superb, it screams quality and you don't really need anything else. For those interested Hozelock connectors will fit it. I'm only using some Hozelock connectors as a convenience and safety system against water damage, more about that later.The Gardena connectors are perfect and are made for this hose because they are made to lock into the grooves that go around it to make it even more watertight seal.I've set up this hose differently than most as it is connected to an indoor supply using the Gardena connectors. Despite the quality of this hose I've cut it into two lengths, so that the part that leaves the indoor supply (3m), can be joined outside my back door as I don't have room under the sink for a full 30m hose to be stored in any case. I'll then be able to safely connect them together outside the house using the Hozelock system (which I bought when I bought the dreadful Hozelock hose that I returned), so if they leak it won't cause damage inside the house. On the working end is the Gardena Aquastop and the spray nozzle. This setup is also perfect for use with my pressure washer out the garden too. After use, the majority of the hose will be in the shed whilst the 3m tap section will be coiled under the sink (Hozelock Aquastop used here).Still thinking of a Hozelock hose?Whatever you do, do not buy a Hozelock hose. I had one and it was useless. It was thin, it was twisted/flattened and I couldn't roll it back up without it twisting everywhere. It was a complete and utter waste of money and I left a review on Amazon for it with a picture.So as I said, there are no issues with this hose at all. Gardena have made a superb product, with connectors that are designed to be extremely watertight, a hose that feels like quality and behaves like quality. Lthough I've used Gardena connectors in all the importand places, Hozelock connectors can be used on it too and it can be used with a pressure washer.In my area we have really good pressure in our water system, so much so that in my case it has to be reduced at the isolation valve so the CH boiler can have time to heat the water correctly. I temporarily turned it on full and the Gardena connectors did not leak, even with the spray nozzle at the end of the hose closed. There was a little puddle under the Hozelock ones though, but not a lot.All in all, a great hose, if you want a hose you won't go wrong with a Gardena Confort Flex.

Decent hose. It does twist though which is not very handy when you have 30m of it. Build quality is good as you can see they are not using cheap materials. Using with a pressure washer and it's doing the job. You will notice a difference if you are compare it with others, it's thicker and hopefully will last longer.

I was looking for a specific length of hose to avoid having to unwind 20 or 30 metres of the stuff.This coils really easily by hand, doesn't readily get kinked and seems to be reasonably durable. Hopefully I won't have to replace it any time soon.

So this was a replacement hose to a previous brand (bright yellow) so wanted to try something different.Previous hose had become both brittle and dog chewed with a few too many leaks and after cutting off bits/shortening the hose had finally had it.Decided on this one, a hose is a hose right !!! and thought the colours we're slightly better too and comes from a good brand of products as GARDENA.Hose arrived on all fine.Removed all hose and off to hose heaven that one went -- kept a few lenghts as you never know what you can use a hose for.My first impressions of the new one, were a bit "uh oh", as taking it out of the packing and trying to unravel, so I could wind onto our reel (see pic), this kinked and twisted all over the place and was a bit of a pain.Persisting for a few mins, got most of these out the way and connected and wound onto the reel we have.Once on the reel, extened out and wound back in a couple of times just to check and it's been fine ever since, so it was only really the intial un-packing.It's a nice hose "light" to unravel when the water is off, obviosuly heavier when water is on.Seem robust, strong and had no issues in use. I'm actually writing a 2nd review on the head/spray gun too as this is a great product to completment the hose (again colour wise) however also for a practical use point too -- this isn't a Gardena product but I'd really recommend this.

I have been very impressed with this hose thus far.My previous hose has been made up of two different brands (one very good and one appalling quality), one of which was terrible for kinking and twisting even just laying it out.Every time I used the hose it would frustrate me having to run back along the length of it and untwist. ...So, on to the Gardena, so far this has been an excellent hose. It is fairly soft to handle compared to the previous cheap plastic job but this makes it very easy to wind up and also run out from the reel. When you lay it down it seems to naturally unwind and lay out so this is a massive improvement.If you try to kink it there is certainly some resistance to it wanting to cut off the supply. Top marks here.The colour looks smart but in all honesty it doesnt really matter what colour the hose is for a garden and car washing.A slight downside is that it is a little narrow as far as its diameter. I found it impossible to connect to the inner connection on the hose reel due to access, so in the end I used the other good quality hose to connect here (since it was slightly larger in diameter) and used a hose to hose connector to double the length of the hose.So this worked out ok in the end for me but in order to connect the Gardena to the hose reel would mean I would have to take the reel apart to have the access to force it on.It does appear as though the diameter is just that bit small to affix to the connectors unless you have very good access.This works out ok when you can apply some force to the connectors to get them on since it means a nice solid connection.So over all, I am very happy with this hose and the price was priced just perfect. A lot of the reviews do state it kinks but I really do not find this happening.For me, great hose, 5 stars!

This replaced a heavier 5/8 inch hose. This one works as well for me and is much easier to handle and coil up

This is a good hose & came with Gardena fittings installed. I put it at the end of my sprinkler line to boost the water pressure.

Excelentes productos los de Gardena muy resistentes

This is second one and im pleased.

Ich bin absolut begeistert vom Gardena Comfort FLEX Schlauch! Mit seinen 13 mm (1/2 Zoll) und 15 Metern Länge ist er genau richtig für meinen Garten. Der Schlauch ist formstabil und gleichzeitig flexibel, was die Handhabung unglaublich einfach macht. Besonders das Power-Grip-Profil sorgt dafür, dass der Schlauch sicher an den Anschlüssen sitzt und nicht abrutscht. Das hochwertige Spiralgewebe macht ihn sehr robust, und mit einem Berstdruck von 25 bar hält er auch hohen Belastungen stand. Ein wirklich erstklassiges Produkt, das ich jedem Gartenliebhaber nur empfehlen kann! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
