Pros & cons

Pros

  • Reaches up to 40 m expanded, longer than most rival expandable hoses
  • AquaStop fittings at both ends prevent dripping at the connection points
  • Uses the HOZELOCK standard fitting system, so existing HOZELOCK accessories connect directly
  • Yellow and grey colour is easy to spot on the lawn

Cons

  • As an expanding hose, it shares the category's lighter-duty robustness compared with a rigid reel hose

Skip it if

Skip it if you would rather have a rigid reel-mounted hose for heavy daily use, or if you do not need the full 40 m of reach.

How we assessed it

We synthesized this

The HOZELOCK Superhoze is the expanding hose for reach. It stretches to three times its length and extends up to 40 m, further than most rival expandable hoses, so the far corner of the garden stops being out of range. AquaStop fittings at both ends stop the drips that plague lesser connections, and because it uses the HOZELOCK standard fitting system, accessories you already own connect straight on. The yellow-and-grey colour is easy to spot on the lawn, and like any expanding hose it contracts down to store small.

The trade-off is shared across the category: an expanding hose is lighter-duty than a rigid reel hose under heavy daily use. If you water hard every day, or don't need the full 40 m of reach, a reel hose lasts longer. Our read is a synthesis of HOZELOCK's documented reach and fittings rather than a hands-on watering test — see how we test.
