Inventel Products Forever Steel Hose (25') 304 Stainless Steel Garden Hose - As Seen On TV - Lightweight, Kink-Free, and Stronger Than Ever, Durable and Easy to Use

I was trying to use this as a leader hose to my reel. I wasn't dragging it around my yard, all it had to do was remain stationary between the faucet and reel without leaking. Unfortunately this hose was a total failure.It leaks and I noticed the stainless wrap started easily coming off like a 20 yr old sweater unraveling. Under the thin steel is a flimsy clear vinyl or plastic tube and the threaded connectors are cheap soft aluminum. The sleeves that are supposed to protect where the connector joins the hose are brittle looking plastic. The whole thing is complete junk.

The hose connection is very cheaply made. It leaked after the first use and then broke off completely with very little tug on the hose. The metal at the connection site is extremely thin and does not withstand normal usage.

It is very light weight, easy to wrap up and store; although like others have said it did not have a lot of pressure. Now less than two months later and having only used it a handful of times it is leaking. So that was 25.00 wasted. Really disappointed. I posted a video to go along with the review so I hope it posts.

After using approximately four times within a two month period, the hose sprung a leak 20 inches from the tap connection. Essentially within the wall of hose, not at connectors. Mounting and hose well supported; just weight of hose itself about 3 feet hanging to ground. Couldn't return after 2 months bummed.

Started leaking after one week from more than one place in the hose. Don't wast your money!

OK, this hose performs as I need it to and time will attest to its' durability (or lack of it). It is indeed very lightweight, the fittings to not drip and it easily stores. So what is my complaint? This hose is listed as being "25" feet and according to my Stanley tape measure, it is actually 23 feet in length. The two extra feet I could actually use for my purpose. Come on, sell the advertised length and charge an extra dollar ( or 6.35 Yuan), but just be honest. Two feet here, two feet there and you have enough material at the end of a production run to make an extra shipping container full, all at the expense of the American suckers who usually do not have a reason to double-check.It is dishonest marketing and I do not like it. Hence 1 star.

I like the fact that it is pretty much indestructible however the water pressure is low compared to a regular hose or even an expandable one.

The hose may be 5/8" diameter but the holes in the ends are 1/4".

I used this only four times for 10 to 15 minutes each time to water plants on the patio. I was very careful not to step on, twist, or kink the hose. After the fourth use it developed a high volume leak that made it impossible to use again. I wrote to the seller through Amazon - no response.

Hose ends aren’t that very good threads on the ends they always have leaks had to file mine to get the leaks to stop

Everything was fine until we went to use it for about the third time and the piece that the nozzle screws into snapped off!! Now we cannot use the nozzle at all! We purposely did not buy the expanding hoses that have the balloon bladder inside because we have had them explode. We bought the steel one thinking it was indestructible and it turned out to be a piece of junk .

Really great hose...until it completely failed. The picture is worth a thousand words. The company’s customer service is a complete joke. Once your “forever“ hose fails, you have no recourse.

I live in Texas, and we just experienced THE wettest September in HISTORY, which means I only used my hose a total of 5 times and it still fell apart! I have a raised deck, no bikes or cars or foot traffic. I usually have my things for years because I take care of them and don't abuse them. But this hose is complete GARBAGE. I was so hoping I'd have a good experience like everyone else. I will try to ask the manufacturer if I can still return it... :(

I received the hose about 2 months ago and I have not had much of a chance to use it because we had decent rains. But the few times that I used it I loved it! It is very light in comparison to other garden hoses that I have used. It is easy to roll up afterward and to put it into a corner of the garden. The only concern that I have is that the manufacturer recommends to store it away from the sun - and that is impossible for me. I can not hook and unhook it every time that i use it - so time will tell if the sun actually does hurt the plastic interior.6 months later: I love this water hose! It still is all of the above and more. Make my life ever so much easier that with other water hoses that I have used over the years.

The second time using this (day after I received it in the mail) it broke. The hose connector thing came right off of the hose and I ended up being drenched by a wildly swinging open house while the nozzle was still in my hand.
