Pros + Cons

Pro
 Perfect for all-weather conditions

As this garden hose is made from hybrid polymer materials, it can withstand almost any weather conditions you might come across. It stays flexible down to -40 °F while the maximum operating temperature is 150 °F.
Comment

Con
 Not suitable for pressure washing

The maximum pressure this garden hose can withstand is only 150 PSI which is noticeably less than some heavy duty hoses can offer. This makes this garden hose not suitable for applications that involve pressure washing.
Comment

Pro
 Highly flexible

Due to extremely high flexibility, this garden house doesn't try to fight you when you coil it. In fact, its zero-memory profile allows you to attach garden sprinklers to it, without the fear that a sprinkler will tip over. Additionally, the flexibility of this hose eliminates any possibilities for it to kink up.
Comment

Pro
 Well-thought aluminum fittings

This garden hose is equipped with 3/4" durable aircraft aluminum fittings which provide reliable, leak-free connections. The fittings have replaceable O-rings that ensure a tight bond. Moreover, the joints have long and durable sleeves which prevent the hose from bending at the connection points.
Comment

Pro
 Available in multiple sizes

This garden hose is available in 11 different sizes ranging from 3' all the way up to 100'.
Comment

Con
 Prone to molding

Multiple user reports stated that this garden hose tends to get covered in the black mold if you leave it unattended for a while. Though this will not happen if you wash it from time to time.
Comment

Pro
 Perfect for heavy jobs

A stainless steel shell of this garden hose makes it capable of withstanding any abuse you might put it through. First, it is resistant to punctures so that you can seamlessly drag it around concrete driveways, thorns, and even sharp edges. Second, the hose is resistant to mechanical damage. It is very complicated to bend or snap it.
Comment

Con
 Not suitable for sub-zero temperatures

The recommended working conditions of this garden hose lie within 41 °F - 113 °F temperature range, so it is not suitable for all-year-round use in some regions.
Comment

Pro
 Easy to store

This zero-memory garden hose requires considerably less storage space than the regular, thick rubber garden hoses. In fact, you can store it in a regular 5-gallon garden bucket.
Comment

Pro
 Comes with extras

This garden hose comes with a complementary sprayer that has nine different functions. Additionally, the sprayer is perfectly compatible with other 3/4" garden hoses.
Comment

Con
 Occasionally tangles

Even though the manufacturer promised that this garden hose is tangle-free, this is not entirely true. However, even while tangled, water supply is not interrupted, as its profile does not allow the hose to snap.
Comment

Pro
 Lightweight

This stainless steel garden hose weights only 5.56 pounds. It is noticeably lighter than the thick rubber garden hoses, which usually weigh around 10 pounds. The lightweight design makes this hose ideally suitable for seniors.
Comment

Pro
 Available in multiple sizes

This garden hose is available in five different sizes ranging from 25' all the way up to 100'.
Comment

Pro
 Perfect for drinking water

This garden hose is made particularly for handling drinking water. Apart from the fact that the tube is NSF/ANSI 372 certified (it's tested lead-free), it is also free of PBA and phthalate that are materials widely used for other garden hoses. Additionally, it does not make water taste rubbery or plasticky.
Comment

Con
 Not quite durable

This garden hose is not suitable for working in tough conditions. It is very prone to mechanical damage, especially punctuations. Also, it is not a good idea to drag around sharp edges and concrete driveways.
Comment

Pro
 Well thought out strain-relief ends

The most vulnerable parts of a hose are the points where the hose is connected to fitting as those parts tend to bend. This garden hose has very well-thought strain-relief ends, designed to reduce the chance of bending near the fittings. They are made from metal coils that prevent the tube from bending.
Comment

Pro
 Available in multiple sizes

You can buy this garden hose in four different sizes ranging from 10' all the way up to 50'.
Comment

Con
 Specifications sheet is not available

Camco does not provide specifications sheet or manual for this product. As a result, it is impossible to find some critical information regarding this garden hose.
