Best Garden Hoses for 2025
First, I use the CNET hose test guide to evaluate each product in three specific areas: connection, conclusion and flow velocity. These performance -based tests help determine the operation of the hose and how they compare.
Each hose passes the connection test to ensure that they will not leak when they are screwed on the pliers or when using it with the nozzle. Each has a perfect connection. Every time I use it to use it, I also check the connection to confirm that there is no leakage.
After at least five times, no hose leaked at the connection point. The rubber O -shaped circle may worsen with the passage of time, so it may be leaked in the future, but when the hose is in a new working state, I don’t see any design defects that will cause bad experience from the beginning.
You will not worry about any tangles for all -metal rose garden hose.
Similarly, all hose passed the twisting test, holding the hose of about 2 feet of hoses and wrapped it on my hand, and the water flow was 100 %. Some hoses, such as Flexzilla and Briggs slightly concluding and making sounds, implying that they are on the edge of the conclusion, but they do not have slower water flow.
In addition to the standard twisting test, I did notice that some hoses were restricted due to other adjacent reasons. For example, although it wrapped the sterilized fabric hose on my hand, there was no restriction on the current, but it set foot on the current.
In order to test the flow velocity of each hose, I opened the water column to open it completely, and filled the 5 gallon buckets to the time required for a line marked near the top from time to time. Then, I measured the weight of the water.
The flowing speed of the expansion of the expansion pipe is the slower. I tested the hose.
The Flexzilla hose is full of barrels at the fastest speed, with a speed of 1.26 pounds per second. In order to compare, the slowest hose is the body, 0.66 pounds per second. this Zero -g The speed of BRIGGS and Stratton hoses is 0.98 pounds per second, Eduth is 0.96 pounds, and the speed of giraffe tool mixed garden hose is 0.92 pounds per second.
this Rose -colored earth metal hose A little slower than most other people, with a speed of 0.86 pounds per second. The body of the hose is narrow and not allowed to have too much water. However, I also found that the narrow design leads to greater the natural pressure of the hose, which may be beneficial in some use cases.
In terms of durability, I cannot predict that these hose will wear out over time, but I really want to try to see as much initial wear as possible. To this end, I dragged each hose to the concrete lane and moved back and forth 10 times. In addition to whether the hose causes any damage to my lane, I also want to see how the end fragments and hose materials are fixed.
The garden hose with extensible fabrics on the sanitary fabric is dragged back and forth on the concrete lane and almost immediately worn.
The most obvious damage occurred in the Wegd fabric hose, and the hose began to wear almost immediately. The result does not indicate that the hose may only be used for a long time on the concrete or paving machine.
The rubber hose only shows the weakest scratch. Unless it is carefully checked, most scratches will not attract people’s attention. I almost don’t worry about the life of EadUTY or Briggs and Stratton hoses. There are no visible scratches on the Flexzilla hose, and plastic pipes at the end of the hose occupy all scratches, but even those are no consequences.
After I dragged the rose -colored earth metal garden hose to the concrete lane 10 times, it only had very light scratches.
I want to know how the rosy earth metal hose absorbs scratches. After dragging back and forth hoses, I saw it wearing traces, but it was not obvious in the distance. The metal parts is obviously scratched, but the damage does not seem to cause any function. Fortunately, there is no label or signs of hose, indicating that it slipped around the lane.
Out of curiosity, I left all the hoses in the direct noon sun for 45 minutes to see how hot they are. The most popular rubber hose. Their touch was very warm, but did not burn my hand. Rose -colored earth metal hose, zero G hoses and rambnis fabrics are warm, but not hot. Flexzilla hose does not seem to heated at all.
