Initial experience after three days of use: - this empty hose weighs more than its Pocket counterpart - the accordion folds on the outside cover of this hose appear to be tighter together than my old Pocket counterpart| - it took more time for this hose to expand to its specified length than my old Pocket counterpart - this hose appears to flow more water volume using the same spigot than my old Pocket counterpart, but I did not measure the flows - the manufacturer stressed in writing several places to protect and preserve the hose fittings by NOT twisting the hose when connecting to a device but rather rotate the swivel fitting on the hose end or on the device. This makes sense. - I will add more to my review or create another one after more time has elapsed.

I will buy more from this company hydrotech these hoses are burst proof heavy duty high end long lasting products

I have purchased two (2) (I should have learned after the first--shame on me) 75' Pro Series 3/4" hoses, and, while they put out a lot of water and coil up as advertised, both started leaking like sieves in the area of the protected faucet connector within one year of service. I replaced, to no avail, the washers, hoping that might be the problem, but no luck. I love the look of the hoses and the way they seem to work--until they fail prematurely.

This is the best expandable hose. Hard to find a true 3/4 inch hose. Most are 3/4 fittings but smaller diameter actual hoses. The increased size makes all the difference of flow rate thru the hose.
