Kegemor Garden Hose 100ft, Flexible Lightweight Water Hose With 9 Way Nozzle, Durable 4-layer Latex Core, 3/4inch Solid Brass for $32.49 at Amazon [Promo Code 15D9NDZ8]

This discounted expanding garden hose is no gimmick. I resisted the "as-seen-on-TV" style imagery and ads for expanding garden hoses until I scored a no-brainer deal on a 50-footer last year. This 100-foot Kegemor for $32.49 (after on-page coupon and promo code 15D9NDZ8) is an even better deal per foot, so I just upgraded. I think you should grab one as well.

Apart from expanding from a storage size that's just a third of its length when in use, Kegmor's 100-foot hose is less than 5 pounds when empty. This ability to be compactly stored easily sold me the first time I looped it on our hose hanger. Conventional hoses are heavy, awkward and cumbersome to wrap, often resulting in either an exhausting fight for proper storage... or abandoning storage all together and simply leaving it snaking through your yard. An expanding hose will automatically spring back to its storage length and weight as it empties itself of water, so putting it away is far less of a chore.

Good expandable hoses like this Kegmore include solid brass fittings, a cutoff valve and a leak-free guarantee for peace of mind (Kegmore's is for one year). This hose also includes a 9-function spray nozzle, but it's plastic and probably isn't super durable. Still, a nice bonus until you break it.

If you've been on the fence about an expandable hose, this is your chance to get a top-rated model in a long length at a price that won't hurt your wallet. I'm confident you'll never go back to wrestling with rubber garden hoses.
