Mine broke after less than 10 uses. The inside hose is made of clear plastic about the same weight as oxygen tubing but about 1/2 in. diameter. The plastic broke just below the connector. It was hard to use with a stationary sprinkler.

We bought the X-hose and it turned out to be the cheapest piece of junk ever. After three days of walking about watering my perennial garden, a large bubble appeared on the hose where the fabric split open. Naturally, the bubble "X-ploded"!! They sure name it right!! I'm going back to my heavy duty rubber hose!

Bought one a couple weeks ago and am loving it. So easy to drag around watering all of the pots on our deck and drive. I guess only time will tell about their longevity, but the price was right and it doesn't kink up all of the time like our old one did.

This review says they are not available in stores. They are all over in stores. Got a 50 ft one for less than $20 at Home Depot and no shipping. Love the hose. Wish I had a longer one.
Convenient - yes but it does have its limitations. This is the best review that I've found so far: http://tomsviews.com/2012/07/19/xhos...n-hose-review/

The DH got me one for my birthday last week. I was very surprised that it works just like the tv ad said, only issue is that it cuts the amount of water going through, but I haven't checked that the valve is all the way open either....
