Pocket Hose

The Pocket Hose is small enough to fit in your pockets and then expands into a full size hose. I am sure you have seen the infomercial for it on TV. I also know that you are all wondering if it really works.

We've been trying it out in our yard for a couple of weeks now. Let me tell you this, we actually bought a second one! That's how much we liked The Pocket Hose! It is lightweight and very easy to handle. Both my kids can easily carry it and water the flowers in the yard. The hose gets bigger when you turn the water on. However, when you shut it off, the Pocket Hose shrinks back to its original size. It never kinks, twists, or tangles like the hoses you already have in your yard.

The Pocket Hose has replaced our other hose in our yard. I can only recommend this great product!

UPDATE: It is now August. The hose I originally reviewed and the extra one we have now bought have broken like you will read in many of my comments. It did last all summer but for $20 a pop I did expect it to a last a tad longer than this. While it worked, it was great. I no longer recommend this.

    Good to know – we actually just recently bought one at Walmart, but haven’t had a chance to use it yet.

  2. LyndaS

    My mom just bought two of those.

    1. Gayle Placeres

      now that you have had it for a month. Is it still great? Mine only lasted about 3 uses, and I replaced it 4 times with the same results.

      1. Lisa

        It’s as a good as day one here. We’ve had absolutely no issues with it and it is the only hose we use now.

        Have bought 4 now and had one replaced by the factory. Great concept and easy to use. To bad they can’t make them strong enough to last more than 2 months. That’s it, the fabric starts to wear out and the rubber hose bubbles and then pops. I even got the black extra duty more expensive ones.

        1. Bob

          Mine blew out in a week.

    Since we don’t keep our hose outside all of the time, this would be great to have on hand for transporting from the garage to the yard and back as needed.

  4. Gayle Placeres

    This is a piece of garbage. We have bought 4 and they have all busted after a few uses. Even though we have never left them under any pressure. Drained them every time. Don’t waste your money or time.
    It is a great concept, but still needs a lot of improvement.

    1. Rosie Z

      I didn’t listen to the reviews and bought 2. Treated very tenderly. Both of them blew up within 10 days of store purchase!

    2. Pat Landrum

      Well, it has now sprung a leak at the fitting of the faucet. Will have to duct tape it to keep from wasting so much water. Can’t recommend it based on this happening.

  5. David Larkin

    I have just trashed my second and last one, they burst at the fawcet end idea is great until you get soaked.

  6. Lisa

    Still working just as good as it did Day 1 for me. That’s why we bought the second one.

    Garbage Don’t wast your Money They don’t last to long

    1. wayne

      Absolute garbage dont waste our money

  8. Diane

    Bought 2 and received 1 as a gift. All 3 burst after 1 or 2 uses. Don’t. Waste your money on this product. My son and son-in-law had the same experience with theirs.

  9. Travis

    Lisa, you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to rip off America with your terrible hose.We know you are affiliated with the company, so quit lying and robbing people. Bad hose and bad karma for u shiester.

    1. Lisa

      Travis, I got nothing but this hose to review from them. I make no money from them at all.

      If you’d like, I can take a picture of the hose (actually, we have two of them. I bought the second one with my own money) hooked up in my yard. We use it almost every day to water our flowers.

  10. STACI

    Should have looked at reviews before I purchased 2 hoses. They actually EXPLODED at the adapters after about one month of use. So now I have to buy new hoses, I also have to have a dent fixed on the side of my car from where the adapter went flying.

  11. Paul B

    From Walmart to Home Depot – every store. Should be ashamed for selling a product that is so inferior. The pocket hose is not a bargain at any price. So many are being returned to the seller I wonder why they don’t remove them from their shelves.

  12. Charlotte Romas

    We loved this hose for its light weight and convenience, but after about 6 uses water came pouring out of the connection between the hose and the plastic where it connects to the hose bib. I was very disappointed cause finally I could manage a hose without the heaviness.

    Someone said I might have gotten a bad one., but we threw away the receipt and now are stuck with a leaky hose.

  13. Ray

    Piece of crap. Everybody in town has bought one and all of them broke before thirty days. They should take off the market until they improve

  14. Tony

    This is the biggest waste of money ever! This hose simply sucks. The first one I bought was leaking. The second one I bought exploded the first time I used it. Please don’t give away your money.

  15. Bob

    Big waste of your money buying this.
    Mine leaked after a few uses.
    I opened the outter cover and found several areas that a leak was about to occur.
    Looked like slits were developing, in a 2 foot section that I looked at.
    Probably more had I removed the entire outter covering.
    Inside tubing is very defective.
