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!

Sorry but this totally made me laugh! I have a constant battle with garden hoses, so I feel your pain!!
ReplyDeleteFor a couple of days I was like the kid in the commercial...It was great.......THEN! THE BLOW UP.....WATER EVERYWHERE BUT IN THE HOSE!!!
DeleteLMAO I knew it was too good to be true....but then again I never believe any of those informercials. Thanks for the heads up Patty.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond. They were so easy to deal with and there was NO SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES!
DeleteGood to know! That commercial is soo tempting and the product looks so promising! Thanks for sharing the not so good review/warning.
ReplyDeleteI hope they can perfect the product! The idea is fantastic.
Deletei'll make sure Adam doesn't buy it! ;)
ReplyDeleteNo, try and have it resist! It's a great idea that just doesn't live up to what it could be.
Deleteoh my gosh!!!!!!!!! that is crazy!
ReplyDeleteCrazy and true!!! Too bad. It's a great idea!
DeleteWe 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!
ReplyDeleteAGREE 100%
DeleteI hope an improvement comes out soon!
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
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
DeleteI was seriously thinking of getting one of these! Thanks for the review and no thanks!
