easy apartment watering
Plastair SpringJet 50-Foot Coiled Water Hose and Wand Set, Ocean Blue #PUJ250B93OT I live in an apartment with no outside water spigot. I have both indoor plants and an outdoor garden. I was lugging a gallon watering jug to water all my outdoor plants, and it was taking over an hour to get it all done. First, I ordered the hose with the wand and it was alot easier than lugging all that water outside and watering the indoor plants was a breeze. I just hooked it up to either my kitchen faucet, or the one in the bathroom. I have since added another plastair product the 50 ft water hose. Love them both. I store each of them in a plastic bucket so carting them out of their storage space is easy and easily stored. They are not heavy. I haven't had any leaks, or wetspots on my carpet. Great because I drag them through to house to go out front and then through again to the back garden.

Pretty Flimsy
I was really excited about having an easy watering solution for my front porch plants; this turned out to be pretty disappointing. First, it cannot handle the pressure of an outdoor faucet - why they even bother with pretending you need an adapter for household faucets is beyond me - it can only (sort of) work at indoor faucet pressures, so why not just manufacture it that way. Second, the overall construction is VERY flimsy; had I not returned it, I seriously doubt it would have held up for any reasonable length of time. Lastly, the adjustable tip was a joke - all it did was change the direction of the poorly-defined spray pattern (perhaps because it couldn't handle the pressure, but I tried it with my faucet set at barely a trickle with no better outcome). Great concept, but this one's not the one to get.

Overpriced and under pressured...
Within one minute of hookup and water pressure the section where it attaches blew off. I was able to get it back in one piece but even then the pressure had to be very low.
If you can get this for under 10 bucks, I might suggest it... Otherwise, stay away.
No instructions or warranty included in the plain brown box it was shipped in other than a single sheet on how to use the faucet attachment.
