BIONIC STEEL 50 Ft Metal Garden Hose with Sprayer Nozzle, Non Kinking Designed Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Water Hose 50Ft x 5/8 in. Ultra Flexible NON Expandable for Uninterrupted Water Flow, 500 PSI

Love my hose now! It never kinks and slides along the ground easily. And very easy to wind up. Great quality. I used my own nozzle as I like different sprays.

The Housemate and I have bought probably half a dozen hoses since we moved to Crazy House 10 years ago. They all advertise themselves as "kink free" a claim which now makes both of us purse our lips and say, "Uh huh, pull the other one." Because we have never yet run into a hose which wouldn't kink with the slightest provocation. We always seem to be searching for a better hose, but have been understandably hesitant to lay out good money on yet another hose advertised to do things it doesn't. But the Bionic Steel 304 looked, to both of us, like it couldn't kink, with a metal body over a liner. At $20 it was worth a try because we were at our wit's end over the hose on the reel in front. It was several years old and had kinks pressed into it that we simply couldn't get out. It flopped all over when we tried to roll it onto the reel, and everything leaked. While I figured Teflon tape would fix some of those links, the badly fitting connectors and the twists in the hose were problems we couldn't solve. So we invested. When the 304 arrived, I tried to bend it, and it's not possible to get more than a sharp curve. It can knot, but only lightly. It rolls up on the hose reel like a dream, and it's much lighter than our old hose. With taped connections, and a new leader hose, the only weak link is the hose reel itself which leaves a lot to be desired. (It was cheap. We've learned our lesson.) It's now such a pleasure to water in front because we're not fighting a heavy hose the whole time. Now I've seen a couple of reviews that state that the inner liner burst almost immediately. So far ours is fine, but be assured that if anything does happen, you will hear about it as will the company. The same is true if it finds a way to kink itself up. I'm not playing games with these things anymore. This is war! However, on the strength of our experience with this hose, we're planning on laying out the money for a 50' one in the back garden, where weight and kink-resistance is even more important to us. That's probably the best recommendation I can give for something like this, being willing to buy a second one because the first purchase was so positive. ETA: We've used it for several weeks now and it's still stubbornly kink-free, and it hasn't burst or broken. We're going to get another for the back garden next year, it's that good.

Updated on March 2025- still working as my back yard hose. Bought one a couple of years ago. I think this is the best expandable hose I’ve ever owned. I don’t receive any money or other payment to leave a sparkling review. Another plus is that I don’t have to hold the nozzle to keep water flowing. Just turn nozzle to desired volume and I spray down the entire backyard rocks and turf to wash down the pee and poop smells. Only issue is that I am finished spraying before I want to quit! Not really an issue. Buying a 2nd bionic hose for the front now. My landscapers haven’t broken this hose yet and I had to replace the other expanding hoses every year. Stop looking for a better hose. You can thank me later! Quality is so much better than the regular expanding hoses that the Tim The Tool Man Helper was hawking. Just get this hose! It has its own adjustable or twisting watering valve on the end that I wasn’t sure if it would be a strong enough stream but WOW, I’m so happy I bought this hose! I live in Phoenix and watch my water usage because we have a water shortage. Every few days , I pick up dog poop from the backyard rocks and fake grass. I want to spray down the entire yard to get rid of the poop and pee smells for my dog and to keep flies away. It would take a good 15 minutes to wash down the entire backyard with the other expanding hoses and the sprayer that came w/each one but this spray nozzle and hose cuts the time down to 2-3 minutes. The strong sprayer allows me to spray the farthest points of my yard without having to move back and forth. It’s a water and time saver! I need two hoses but decided to see how this worked before buying the 2nd unit but I will be buying another. No worries about the expansion like the rest of the expansion hoses getting twisted or stuck on a pot, rock or decorative brick & flagstone. Easy to wind up near the spigot. Don’t need to place it in a storage area or keep out of the sun like the usual expandable hoses. The other expansion hoses were not meant for the Phoenix sun/heat or my landscapers who were using it incorrectly. not pulling the entire hose out before turning on the water. the other expansion hoses lasted about one season here but I’m working on the 2nd season w/this hose. (Update 3 years and still working perfectly.) Highly recommend this hose especially if you are concerned about water use, sun/heat damaging, needing to pull hose out w/o kinks/knots before turning on water to prevent damage to expansion hoses and if you need/desire a lightweight water hose with fantastic nozzle sprayer! I have some issues w/using my hands, arms & needed a lightweight alternative. Wasn’t sure if the metal hose would be too heavy for me to use for the 15-20 minutes the other hoses would take but it’s extremely lightweight & so quick/efficient to water down the entire backyard that I want to keep working but I’m done way before I’m tired. Has it all. No negatives w/this hose!

I have purchased these in the past and find that they are very durable and easy to use. They are also light wieght so they are easy to move around. The only issue I have had is that one of these is permanently attached to a 4 valve manifold as it seems there was an adverse reaction between the two metals and I believe they have fused together.

Great product! Love the weight, utility, delivery, ease of coiling, etc. However, buyer beware of pulling it out of a housed hose box with a reel guide that moves back and forth to equalize the wrap. We pulled the hose from a distance several times - as we did with rubber hoses - and the metal sheath separated and the plastic underneath exploded. Had it only two months. Be sure to manually unwind the hose with the box handle, don't pull on the hose!

My 75 year old self thanks this product for making my watering routine so much easier. It is lightweight and so easy to roll up when done. I was hesitant at first but so happy with this purchase. I've had it for over a year and it still looks and functions like new. No leaks! No kinks!

I will never buy any other hose again. I am an avid gardener and this has changed my life. I have gone through soooooo many hoses through the years and wasted so much money to continuously be let down. This hose is beyond durable and strong. It never gets jammed and is lightweight when carrying it around the yard. It's super flexible as well. I suggest changing the head on it though. The head it comes with works just fine but if you're like me and want more of a on and off switch type of convenience then change it.

It seems well made but found the hose leaking after I purchased it 3 weeks ago. The price seems fair but this might have been a defective product. I purchased other sizes made by the same company and had no issues.
