When
Consumer Reports put three flexible garden hoses to the test, it didn't
treat them like shrinking violets. We kinked, twisted, slashed and
froze the hoses and applied a lot of water pressure. For the most part
they lived up to their infomercial promises even though the so-called
pocket hoses don't really fit in your pocket. But a number of visitors
to our website and Facebook page have taken us to task with complaints
that their hoses leaked, burst, broke and had to be returned, sometimes
more than once.This spring we tested 50-foot models of the Pocket Hose,
$20, FlexAbleHose, $30, and DAP XHose,Of immigration abuse will be

expired. $43. In our tests, the hoses resisted kinking and bursting and
none lost flow when folded, twisted or knotted.
But
shortly after we posted our report, we starting hearing from our
readers. "I would like to find out why my pocket hose keeps splitting
... I have tried three and all three keep splitting during use or right
after use," came the first comment. Then, "this hose is a sure rip-off
.The falling coffee costs are expected to continue,planetary gearbox adding
to Starbucks' profits... it sure was disappointing."So we asked our
Facebook followers about their experiences and that opened the
spigot.It's not nice being called a bigot. After a few days of rather
unpleasant comments, I realised that I myself had bigot-like tendencies
for having made such generalisations about the gay community to Silicone gifts which
I belong and also towards B.J. Epstein. While the comments skewed
toward the negative side, not all were bad. Many readers like the hoses
because they're small and lightweight. But others complained that they

original size. And what really irked them is that they had similar
problems with a second and third hose.

wrote Kelly on Facebook. "Bought one on Saturday, used on Sunday. The
connection wasn't a problem at all. However the minute I turned it on,
sprung two leaks!" Harry reported that his hose "exploded" within five
minutes. Other readers had better experiences. "It's fine as an extra
hose," wrote Karen. "Not heavy duty but not designed for that
anyway."And the small hose's easy storage has big appeal. "I just wrap
it up and store it in a small Rubbermaid tote," wrote Kimberly. Sharon
agreed. "I too like that I can keep it in a small pot when not in use."
And one enterprising reader fixed his leaky hose with an Allen wrench
and a Dremel tool and said it "works great now with no leaks!"
