I am going to bypass the obvious innuendo and double entendre possibilities, for now, and just say if you haven't gotten one yet, you should. I have been seeing the commercials and almost fell for the hype when I went to the website. Had they not tried to gouge me for $9.99 for "express shipping", defined as 7-10 days (aka standard ground service with UPS), on top of the $7.99 shipping and handling fee, I would have gone for it. The alternative was "standard shipping" of 4-6 weeks. But wait, there's more!! If I doubled all the shipping fees I could get a second 25 foot expandable hose, FOR FREE. They weren't offering a kiss, so I decided against the screwing.
Then 3 days later I walked into Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Tiger Town looking to replace my shower mirror, and there right in the front door was a display of the new magical wonder hose. I learned they keep an "As Seen on TV" section there at all times. So right there was a 50 foot wonder hose for the low price of $19.99. No shipping, no handling and especially no express shipping fees. So I grabbed one thinking I have wasted more on less many times before. But ya know what? The darn thing works just as advertised!! I have since gone back and gotten a second one and replaced all my old hoses with the new ones. I don't know how long they will last, but if I get a season out of them I will be a happy camper.
But you have to love a product that states on their packaging, "Just turn it on and watch it expand to full length"...lol. Now that my hose has expands to it's full length with the turn of a valve, I am looking for the infamous Ho's HangOut. I know there's one around here somewhere :<)
