Expandable Hose 100 Feet Green by Quality Source Products

I was chosen to receive this product at no cost to me for my unbiased and honest review. I was very excited to try this product.

First off the concept is awesome. It is a hose that expands when you run water i.e. pressure through it and when you don't it compresses back to 1/3 of its length. Super great idea that is very exciting to see in real life.

I used various times to water plants and the yard the simple on and off and had no problems with it. The hose did come with a defect that is evident when its filled with water. As you can see in the 2nd and 3rd picture its a depression area that scared me into thinking it would rupture or not let water pass but that wasn't the case. It worked great as a simple on/off hose but the problem didn't happen until we left it on one day. My father forgot to turn off the hose on night so it was left pressurized overnight. Later that day he noticed a sound that was bugging him, so he proceeded to find out what it was. The hose had a leak or so we thought. As you can see on the fourth photo it doesn't appear torn or to have a small rupture. The hose part actually ripped itself from the top of the connection and slid down and now the water leaked through the mesh covering.
