Okay, so I saw this thing on “Shark Tank” – the firefighter hose, and I thought, “That looks pretty cool, I gotta try this out.” So, I went ahead and ordered one.
Getting Started
First off, unboxing it. It came in this surprisingly small package. I was expecting something bulky, like the hoses you see on fire trucks, but this thing was compact and coiled up real neat. It felt tough, though, not like those flimsy garden hoses that kink up all the time.
Setting It Up
Next, I had to actually connect it to my outdoor faucet. This part was super easy. It just screwed right on, no different than any other hose. I was worried I might need some special adapter or something, but nope, it fit perfectly. I made sure it was tight, of course, because nobody wants a leaky hose.
Testing the Water Pressure
Now for the fun part – turning on the water! I slowly opened the faucet, and you could see the hose expanding. It’s kind of weird, actually, watching it grow like that. Once it was fully expanded, I grabbed the nozzle. It had a bunch of different settings, like “jet,” “shower,” “mist,” that kind of stuff. I started with the “jet” setting, and whoa, the water pressure was intense!
- Jet Setting: Seriously powerful. I aimed it at some weeds growing in the cracks of my driveway, and it blasted them right out.
- Shower Setting: This was more like a regular garden hose, good for watering plants without destroying them.
- Mist Setting: Super gentle, perfect for delicate flowers or maybe cooling off on a hot day.
My test record
I spent a good hour playing around with the hose, washing my car, watering the lawn, even cleaning off the patio furniture. I noticed how convenient it is after using it because it is much lighter than the older one.
I need to use it to clean up my backyard.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, I’m pretty impressed. It’s way more powerful than my old hose, and it’s so much easier to store because it shrinks down when you’re done. Plus, it feels durable, like it’ll actually last a long time. I’m definitely glad I saw that “Shark Tank” episode!
