Reviews
"Otherwise it's a pretty great hose to have !!"
"I wasn't able to use it recently due to the weather but I decided to give it a test try the other day and it's exactly like the one from the infomercials.It starts to enlarge as the water is going through the hose and then starts to release the presser when turning off."
"We were looking for a hose to use with and carry in our RV."
"Wow, really good quality hose...for the price I wasn't expecting that much, but I must say I'm impressed!"
"I installed this in my garage to help with car cleaning."
"I need a long compact hose to carry in my RV to hook up to the water supply at RV campsites."
"I like the fact that at the end of the hose it has a valve where you can turn the water on or off."
"The time it takes to fill up the water hose “lasts” LONGER than the time you get to use it! It took me like 1-2 minutes to wait for the hose to fill up but 30 secs to use up all the water on jet/rinse settings with the nozzle provided."

Reviews
"I gave it four stars because the level winding device does not work well on this new one, and has quit completely on my older unit which this replaced."
"Easy to go on, I had a hose I wanted to use but it was too thick for the hose stop so we had to purchase a new hose that would fit it."
"It saves my back a lot of stress, and I give demonstrations to impress anyone who happens along."
"Had this for quite a while and its been working great."
"This has got to be the easiest way to wind up a garden hose."
"I have a medium taupe colored house (like half the others in the neighborhood) and liked the dark taupe reel shown in the description."
"I purchased this item put a 100 foot hose in it and after a couple months and only 4 uses, the plastic reel inside it was so warped that I couldn't even pull my hose out of it and Suncast will not help you with this at all, Amazon was nice enough to take it back and even paid me for my hose that wouldn't come out.....my advice is don't waste your money on this junk!"
"After 2 months, the internal reel warped so badly that it it very difficult to pull out because it rubs on the inside of the case."

Reviews
"If you take the time to shut of the water supply and feed the hose into the storage drum gently I think it will last a long time. I have it hooked up to the unregulated side of my main (120 psi) and it works peachy-keen... Well worth the $$ so far compared to other brands."
"My wife loves it, and so do I."
"Figure 65 ft is barely enough to cover my lot but don't want to get something too heavy, I choose this model."
"makes bringing it inside for the winter easy."
"BTW, remember to let it coil with the faucet open to allow water to drain and ease the internal tension."
"I think part of the reason it failed this early spring is because I did not wait for the weather to warm up enough (maybe around 5°C outside), thus the hose might have been slightly stiff causing too much stress on the plastic internals. While pulling it out i heard a loud noise sounding like the recoil mechanism gave out."
"My wife has finally stopped complaining about the mess of garden hoses that adorned our back yard because I'm too lazy to put them back neatly when I know I'm using them again tomorrow...."
"Incidentally, the spray nozzle that comes with was excellent as well, and superior to similar products I have purchased at local home and garden centers."

Reviews
"You can not go wrong with this garden hose."
"I would have given this a 5-Star review, but the washer it came with was extremely cheap and leaked when I first connected the hose. For a hose of this price and quality, you would think that they would include a washer of equal quality."
"Lasted exactly one year before it burst at one of the many bulges it developed since I purchased it."
"The hose developed a bubble and burst on during first use."
"If you buy it and don't use a very heavy duty hose reel, you will have trouble coiling it up in the garden area."
"The hose sprang a leak in just one month."
"My new hose burst... what a weak POS!"
"I just received the NeverKink 8844-100 Series 4000 Commercial Duty hose."

Best Garden Hose Reels

Eley / Rapid Reel Wall Mount Garden Hose Reel Model 1041
This attractive bronze-colored die cast Aluminum Wall-Mount Hose Reel is the perfect solution for those looking for a way to keep things organized around the yard, farm, shop or park. hose or 100 feet of 3/4-in.
Reviews
"The Liberty hose reels looked like they'd be the way to go if I wanted something decorative, but everyone said they're hard to crank and this causes the bolts to eventually come loose, they will rust on you, the finish wears pretty quickly, and leaking will become a problem. These were consistent comments throughout their product line (except for the aluminum option, which was only better because it doesn't rust) and I didn't want to pay $75-$100 for something I'd have to replace every year and drill new holes in the brick of my house. I debated for a while on whether or not buy this reel (it was the most expensive option I came across), but the fact that you won't find a single negative review related to the operation or construction of this product, plus the 10 year warranty, sold me."
"Compared to the plastic crap coming from the PRC and being sold in local "big box" stores, this is a Rolls Royce, if not a Bentley as compared, let's say, to the iconic Yugo. This is one piece of necessary equipment needed around the house that is an investment to provide good service over a goodly number of years."
"Quality reel; very pleased."
"All the connections are assailable from the outside so you can tighten any connections without removing the whole unit from the wall."
"Additionally, it's very nice that the device can be mounted in several different positions: parallel to the wall, and perpendicular to the wall, both in left and right-handed positions. This is something that hasn't been too much of a problem, but it would certainly put this reel over the top if it did have one. In our experience, it works well enough without it, but it's worth noting that it isn't included."
"Very well-made, doesn't state from what I could tell, but it should be noted that this can be mounted parallel to the wall or perpendicular to the wall."

Reviews
"I contacted Dramm and they replaced the wand, sent a new lever and replacement washers."
"So I can get the wand to leak if I shake the wand (while swapping hands for example) and that has resulted on water drops on leaves where I did not want it."
"I bough this to replace a super cheap wand I purchased from HD that leaked within a week."
"The shower that this wand produces is perfect for watering without disturbing the soil and gentle enough for small plants:)."
"Don't know how they do it, but this is a great watering wand for reaching high hanging baskets or for reaching planter boxes that have shrubs below them."

Reviews
"Well, the handle broke nearly clean off at where it is riveted to the metal part of the nozzle. Of course, I will update this review upon returning the broken nozzle, but it seems like this riveted connection is the nozzle' s Achilles heel. Their CS rep helped me through the comments section of this review, and I am told the handle issue has been resolved in a new version with a metal handle. UPDATE: I received the replacement nozzle within a couple of days of contact with JP in customer service."
"If the amazon bot "edits out" that email try a google search for "equinox international garden" which should pop up a website with a form you can fill out to contact them... not too difficult to do and while I sympathize with the people who left negative reviews, I'm a bit surprised they didn't just reach out to the manufacturer and complain, especially if the manufacturer doesn't require you to mail back the defective product !"
"The pressure is better so I can stand farther back to water my plants."
"Since we are aware of the rough life they have, we pay attention to their care, not dropping them, not leaving them on for extended periods, and disconnecting them and draining them if the nights are sub-freezing."
"After having gone through multiple cheap plastic nozzles that break and leak, I finally learned that you get what you pay for in regards to lawn equipment."
"I originally got it to shoot down spider webs but soon learned that they are indestructible and I would need to get a pressure washer to do the trick."
"While I have only had this hose nozzle for two weeks I have a feeling this is going to be the best nozzle I have ever used."

Best Garden Hoses

LawnPRO 50' Expanding Garden Hose. Kink-Free. 5,000 Denier Woven Casing. Copper Fittings. Steel Assembly Clamps. 12 Month Manufacturers Warranty. + Free Storage Bag
Copper has long been considered the premium choice for durability and longevity of high pressure fittings. As a result, the hose is typically thrown away if the threads on the fittings ever get damaged. If the threads on either end of the hose get damaged, they can simply be unscrewed and replaced. Forget about trying to roll up a typical 50ft hose, and throw it over your shoulder. KINK FREE - We eliminated the ridged rubber in a typical garden hose, our expandable hose won't kink.
Reviews
"UPDATE. After posting my original review talking about it leaking, I was contacted by the seller."
"Still, I continued in my search for a durable expanding garden hose, because I can no longer pull the weight of a heavy duty rubber hose."
"I like the fact that the LawnPro has a tougher outer core - none of the prior hoses had this."
"I have (2) 50' rubber garden hoses and then attached the 50' expanding hose and was the perfect length."
"This hose is very light weight when the water is off. Once you turn the water on, it starts to fill the hose and it slowly grows into the full length and you use it like the standard hose.Once you turn off the water, the hose slowly compresses and the water drains out."
"The water flow is adequate, but I do have high water pressure of 84 PSI (typical home water pressure is 45 PSI to 60 PSI)."
"Update:: Recieved great customer service response after a faulty first order, was sent a replacement at no charge and it seems to be working great."
"Anyhow, after using the hose, I just open my nozzle and let the excess water out and the hose shrinks down to its storage size. With a traditional hose and reel, it takes me a few minutes to straighten out the hose and reel the heavy thing back up nice and evenly."

Best Lawn & Garden Sprinklers

Nelson Raintrain Traveling Sprinkler
Adjustable aluminum spray arms provide coverage range from 15 feet to 55 feet in diameter. Can travel up to 200 feet and cover as much as 13,500 square feet.
Reviews
"I have about a 150 foot long strip of grass that would require many many sprinkler repositionings to cover."
"If I buy a longer hose I may shorten the spray width and have it go in a "U" shape and then down the side yard too, but right now at least I can cover my back yard with it as compared to moving my sprinkler around 3-4 times. Also tempting to buy a second one to use for that and have both going at the same time (because your hose can only be so long so you will likely move it around some)."
"My pasture has a few gopher holes this sprinkler must avoid, but it works great!!"
"Exactly like the original from the old days."
"Well we were pleasantly surprised and how well it worked that we bought two more and now can water the front and back and side yard at the same time and with the automatic shutoff we don't have to keep watching the clock and worrying about how long the water has been on."
"My 3 year old broke it by losing one of the arms and sadly I was unable to find another like it. We live in the country with tough, Adobe clay that can be difficult to walk on."
"Should’ve bought this thing a long time ago, but I was hesitant because of the price."
"But there were countless Times The unit would fall of the track or remain stuck until I noticed it t was floodIng my yard."

Behrens 2-1/2-Gallon hot dipped steel Watering can gives you the strength and durability of steel with a Vintage/classic look. Durable the strength of steel; Weather resistant won't rust.
Reviews
"I agree with another review that the holes are a bit small so it takes a long time to empty it."
"So I now have a ball valve, one of the cheap plastic ones from the hardware store on it, and I can control the flow down to a trickle. Original review continues: I bought this can because I wanted steel and was tired of Asian made plastic junk which is all the stores seem to sell these days. I am perplexed by some of the reviews of poor finish quality and sharp edges. Go buy the plastic junk if metal edges and galvanizing runs scare you. I emailed Behrens and at first they told me it was not designed to be removable and the replacement heads were sold in case one leaked. They wrote back and said "What you could do, is use some type of tool, such as a pliers, to loosen up the rosette head. They let the community sit out here and twist in the wind with poor consumer driven answers about their products. The only other disappointment for me is the sprinkle pattern of the head is really wide, so it's not good for small water situations like small pots or in my case, my entire garden is covered in black weed matting. I plan to buy at least one more head (hopefully it will fit properly) and customize different sprinkle patterns by closing some holes and drilling new ones."
"There is no comparison between this and one of those smaller plastic cans."
"This watering can is a great addition to the rustic rain barrel and serves the perfect purpose."
"Better than any plastic one I could find."
"The opening is big enough that you could collect rain water and use it to water your garden if you wanted to."
"With the other two steel watering cans I have had, both had removable sprinkler nozzles. Therefor I now rate it a 4 star - not 5 because of how difficult it was to unscrew the nozzle."
"I've had this watering can for 2 years now and it works pretty well and shows no sign of rust!"

Connectable with other Rain Wizard 50 for expanded storage (Linking kit sold separately).
Reviews
"UPDATE: I've had it for a year and a half now in the horrible, unforgiving heat of the sun. Get yourself some black plastic or glass paint bottles from the craft section and paint the rings and the cracks on the barrel. The barrel looks much better in person than in the picture. After reading reviews, I saw that the spigot is too low for a hose, so I when attaching it, I stopped when the spigot was turned sideways."
"For installing, just saw off the bottom part of your existing gutter, get a $2 flexible gutter elbow at the hardware store and stick the barrel underneath. For connecting two of them, I got a $10 3/4" diameter hose at the hardware store and just stuck it on both the connector knobs."
"I did add a mid point faucet as well so that the barrel can be drained off into our gutter system."
"The quality was much better than the few we looked at in person at Lowes and Home Depot as well."
"Holds my rain water for plants."
"Set it on a stand to put a water tub/water can under the tap to fill."
"I live in an area where it gets to 25-45 below zero, so I did not risk leaving water inside since at those temperature it can get damaged, but that would be the case with any other rain barrel."
"It is 18 inches in diameter and 28 inches tall."

Best Automatic Irrigation Equipment

Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller, WiFi, 8 Zone 2nd Generation, Works with Amazon Alexa
Use more than 100 different voice commands to run zones, set rain skips and more. Rachio will automatically skip a scheduled watering cycle when rain is predicted and adjust watering times as the seasons change, saving you water and money.
Reviews
"I researched smart irrigation controller options, choose the Rachio 2nd Gen, and really couldn't be happier. I have enabled the Rachio skills pack with our Amazon Echo, which is very neat, but at this point, it's more of a novelty for me. I just think tapping a couple buttons in the app is so easy, sometimes getting the exact wording right and the Echo hearing me correctly is more trouble than it's worth. I think it's light years ahead of the past generation of controllers in terms of water savings and landscape care, and I think Rachio has done a fantastic job with the user interfaces and logic, which is no small feat."
"Rachio makes this level of control the entry level, adding many more levels of water management that it almost seems like you have your own groundskeeper monitoring the weather forecast, evaluating what type of soil, runoff, and plants/grass. In my new house, the existing Hunter HRC 9-zone controller was ok, but how could I live with a Hunter fixed schedule controller after having an internet "cloud" irrigation solution... The Rachio Iro 2nd Gen 16 zone arrived before the irrigation was needed in Ohio. I couldn't bear the thought of someone buying it used and missing the water saving opportunity of a cloud irrigation controller. Plugging in the Iro to the wall and controller, I used the cell application to register the controller. This isn't my first Rachio Iro rodeo, so defining each zone with the name, type of irrigation heads, what is being watered (flowers, shrubs, grass, etc. Now my OCD kicks in and I use a soil moisture hydrometerDr.Meter® Moisture Sensor Meter, Soil Water Monitor, Hydrometer for Gardening, Farming, Indoor/Outdoor Use (4-in-1 Advanced Version) to put in an initial setting for the zone as well as use a laser to measure the area of the zone Laser Distance Meter, Handheld Range Finder Measure with LCD Backlight Display, Area/Volume/Distance/Pythagoras Calculation, Self-Calibration Rangefinder, Tape Measure 0.05 to 40m(0.16 to 131ft). My municipal water only allows watering on 3 days of the week depending on your street address, astrological sign, and great grandmother's maiden name (the one you liked). Even though the flexible daily or flexible monthly schedule may be the most effective for water savings and ensuring watering is only when needed, limiting to 3 days a week still gives the Iro opportunity to skip and change watering duration based on weather data and seasonal impacts. Both the shocking nature of seeing how many gallons are really used when you are watering, and the gratification of how much you are saving when the Iro skips, easily justifies the purchase of this controller. Other features that seem to just make sense are the cycle approach to watering and the newly added manual controls on the Rachio Iro. When watering, your Iro will break a 15-minute watering session into multiples - so instead of watering a zone for 15 minutes, it will water it for 5 minutes, go to the next zone, finish all zones, then start another cycle that will water the zone another 5 minutes... going through all zones... finally completing a 3rd cycle to finish. This minimizes oversaturation and runoff, allowing the water that you are spraying to soak in, using less total water for the same impact. But if you just want the guy that is fixing the last spray head that you destroyed with the lawn edger, he can turn on and off a zone by cycling through the manual controls on the panel itself... nice upgrade from 1st gen."
"Some recommendations: use the screwdriver to push the wire clips down; I tried for too long to use a fingernail. (Still a little confused about whether the wires should point into the device, or go in parallel to the front plate; no documentation or online tutorial made that clear...) Make sure you have enough wire...I had to remount the box twice as my existing fixed wires needed a few extra inches to get up to the Rachio's connections, compared to the Hunter iCore being replaced."
