PRODUCT REVIEW.....WARNING!

Hi,
I am sure you ALL have seen the commercial.....................

THE POCKET HOSE

About three weeks ago
MC bought one at Bed Bath and Beyond

It was great!

It worked just like it was advertised to do!

NO KINKS
EASY TO MOVE
IT WAS GREAT

and
 then

IT BLEW UP!!!!

Yesterday, MC returned it to
 Bed Bath and Beyond.

They graciously gave MC the choice of a replacement or a credit to his account.  The sales associate, smiled and recommended he opt for the  credit!!!!  She said they have had a lot of returns!!!!  All with the same problem!!! 


 It's too bad.  It was so easy to move around.  No kinks, just like it was advertised!  Oh well!  It's a good thing MC didn't throw away our old, but reliable hose!

    1. No, try and have it resist! It's a great idea that just doesn't live up to what it could be.

  5. We bought TWO of those hoses, Patty! HAD TO RETURN BOTH BECAUSE THEY BROKE! More time should have been put into product testing and it contains a cheap plastic nozzle...great idea...BAD quality!

  6. OH NO! I have two. And I have been singing their praise!! Then last week, I noticed one was starting to pull at the nozzle and dripping more than it should. They haven't blown yet ... but I will stand guarded when using them now! I have so loved not having to "LUG" the big heavy hose around. But like you ... it is still standing at the ready ... probably mocking me when I use the green one!! xo

    1. You are lucky! I loved that they didn't knot up and were easy to lug! Don't leave it outside!!! That seams to have a lot to do with it.
