This is the nth garden hose that I ordered from an online store. It is made in China so the durability is certified... to be not durable, waheehee. It will last for 3 to 4 months depending on the frequency of use. But on the upside, it is every convenient to use unlike the plastic hose that it is laborious to unfold for using and folding for keeping.

@Alexandoy
Is that why it was $5 because it came from China?

Yes, it is made in China and I think those products are being dumped here so the price is cheap.

Chinese goods are known for their poor quality and that's why they are cheap. I remember you posted some time back about a new hose.

Yes, that's about 4 months ago but that one is still working but nearing to break so I bought a new one for a reserve.

@arunima25 Chinese products are easy to break so you will buy again.

It is short when not in use but when there is water, the pressure makes the hose grow longer. It is amazing.

@Alexandoy It's better than buying an expensive one that will not last long. At least you know what you're getting.

You are right, it is so cheap that it is worth the money when it is used for 3 months only.

@cherriefic you are right. Cheap but not durable is okay as long as it is easy to use.

@Shavkat in what way do you think the hose can be used when it is broken? I am keeping some of those old broken hoses.

@Tampa_girl7 I did not even ask, it happened exactly as Alex said, the rubber inside broke the front part of the nozzle was "shot" away and I really got wet.

I also had a green which is more expensive than the blue. When the water pressure is too much, the rubber inside would break. I am not using the nozzle so the water can flow feely and lasts longer.

Yes, it seems practical because it is flexible unlike plastic, and it is not expensive either

The cheap price somehow compensates for the poor quality of the hose.

@LowRiderX that is the danger of the world economy if there will be an economic war. China will win hands down with their cheap products.

I have three hoses - front yard, garage, back yard. I don't remove the hoses from the tap.

Don't expose it under the sun because it will get brittle.

I have a plastic hose that is also long. But it is a tedious job to roll it. This blue hose needs no rolling since it becomes small when not in use.
