    I just returned my X-Hose to Canadian Tire.
    This is a 50 foot expandable hose.
    It worked great for a week, then it sprung a leak right by the fitting to at the end.
    The cashier didn't give me a hard time, she says "oh yea that happens all the time"
    So I don't suggest you buy one.
    Perhaps in a year or so they will improve the design and make it stronger, but for now I am giving it a bad review.

    Thanks for the heads up. I am not familiar with this product. What is the benefit of an expandable hose? Sounds like a recipe for weak links in the design.

    It's marketed as space saving. It folds up to be a lot smaller then a conventional hose. TBH I think the people who benefit most are the ones who have to pay to ship it to the stores =)
