I purchased two fifty foot hoses and when I connected one them to my outside tap and turned it on the hose expanded from17 feet to a full 37 feet under pressure. When I began to spray it retracted 13 feet. which gave me a total length of 24 feet . I'm am short by 26 feet when using this hose. There was no mention of this problem in their advertisement. Theses hoses are a rip-off. This company is fraudulent.
