Hello, there! You have probably seen infomercials on garden hoses that grow and shrink in minutes. Well, I recently had an opportunity to test a “Pinocchi garden hose that expands from 25 feet to 75 feet!” I like how this works and glad to share my thoughts with you.
The garden hose arrived within a few days in a rather small zipped up plastic bag. It was very light and easy to handle. Unlike a typical garden hose, it does not tangle nor twist. The fittings are made of solid brass instead of plastic, which looks better and is much stronger. A seven pattern spray gun also comes in the bag, and all patterns are suitable for watering plants. The tube looks and feels durable as it is made of a double layer of latex inside and a soft yet firm green fabric outside. The green color looks brilliant and seamlessly blends in the garden.
I have not seen any water leaks at both ends. The brass fittings and the spray gun fit well and were easy to assemble. I have only nice things to say about this Pinocchi hose that grows! I have a few pictures of this hose in action. I hope you found my honest review valuable! Look forward to your comments.

Great hose. We have something similar and like it a lot. I love the name to the one you have.
Anosa says
Sounds like an interesting hose one my dad would love to own.
Lisa says
I have heard of these but never gave them a try. It would be really handy to be able to put it away so fast not deal with any knots.

This hose is indeed an awesome one to have for sure. I love that it grows from 25″ to 75″ in seconds and the double layer of latex is an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing this amazing hose.

I have a sprinkler system but I’m still in search of a hose so that I can wash my car instead of paying all that money for a car wash. Will look into this one. Love the metal fittings instead of plastic.

This looks like a really awesome hose. It can really help you reach the farther part of the house or the lawn when needed.

What a great gadget! I spend so much time each evening hand watering all my gardens.
Liz Mays says
I’m glad this worked so well. I can see this being super useful for our outdoor projects.
Jeni Hawkins says
What a neat hose! Yard work could and would be SO much easier with that hose. I like that it retracts, too.
Pam says
I have actually been thinking about getting one of these. I have gardens all across my yard and our regular hose just isn’t working for me.
Mimi "MimiCuteLips" Green says
That looks really neat, the mister is in charge of the water hose in our home. I hate to see it left out and looking a mess. A retractable one would be perfect for him.
Kita says
We have a similar hose and it is definitely better than the traditional ones. Share a picture of yours extended.
Jenny says
I’ve had a hose, similar to this, that shrinks when you turn off the water. I love it! It doesn’t tangle and although very sturdy, seems flexible at the same time. I wished mine would have come with the water gun sprayer like this one!
Alli Smith says
I’ve always wanted to try one of those hoses that grows. Glad to see that it worked well for you.

That sounds like an awesome hose. I would love to get one for my husband since he is the one in charge of the yard at our house 🙂
