In early summer 2017, we tested the Hozelock SuperHoze stretch hose. After that, we wanted to compare Hozelock with another popular product of a similar type – the StretchHose hose, which is actively advertised by the Shop on the Sofa. They look the same, the declared characteristics do not differ even in small details – both promise a length of up to 15 m in the stretched state. But at the same time, the “store” (that is, from the Shop on the Sofa) hose is almost twice as cheap. It was interesting to find out whether it is really possible to buy a quality product for half the money, or is there some kind of catch?
