Not fulfilling their own return policy

Asked for a refund for my hoses due to inferior quality, the day I received them. Despite having a 14 day return policy with full refund, they offered me half price but will not refund my full money and are now ignoring my requests.

Not so Unbreakable hose

Purchased an Unbreakable hose which broke after the first use. Hose was replaced and this time lasted around 2 weeks, so much for unbreakable. Asked for a refund as per there advertising but was refused as it was only a 30 day return??.
Would highly recommend staying well away from this product and company.

Geezus...waste of time

Geezus.... just used my hose for the first time, what a disappointment... and to be honest, if I'd read any of the reviews on here, I wouldn't have bought it. I live in a townhouse complex, and I have concrete paths around the perimeter, this bloody hose snags on the concrete so much so that it can't be dragged around my garden . I have to go back, gather it up and move forward again. And because it snags so badly, it can't retract as it should. Big waste of time and I'm guessing I won't be getting a response to my email regarding these matters. Rubbish bin it is and then off to Bunnings to get a real hose. DO NOT BUY THIS HOSE.

Better Garden hose

Bought two of the hoses. I would’ve thought using an Australian based company that the hose fittings that came with the hose would fit an Australian tap. The connections that come are marked as either US or European. When I messaged them about this I received a reply stating that you could buy a connector from your hardware store. Why sell hoses with connections that won’t work without having to buy extra things. I’ve now googled and US and European tap fittings are not compatible with our taps. I haven’t even tried the hoses yet but already wish I hadn’t made the purchase. Very disappointing.

Do not purchase the 30m unbreakable…

Do not purchase the 30m unbreakable hose. It split after 6 months and they only regurgitated their fantastic 14 day guarantee. Seriously, I should have read the fine print and the reviews. Do not buy anything from this store.

Do not purchase this Hose they are…

Do not purchase this Hose they are waste of money. 14 days warranty is all you get.
I got 4 months use which for a garden hose is unreasonable.

I purchased two 30 meter unbreakable hoses from Better Gardens.
The hoses lasted 4 months and split they were not used everyday and were under cover.
Inside the cloth coil is flimsy plastic which does dose not live up to the marketing on Better gardens site as being unbreakable.

Do not purchase they won't replace faulty products

one of the hoses had a split and they refuse to replace or refund the value. It was outside their 14day returns policy and I had not used the hose previously. They will not honour The Australian Consumer Law. I have sent to the Office of fair trading and will see how I go. I would like to warn others.

Rubbish

I purchased two expandable hoses on 12th January ‘26. Hoses arrived. I was charged $109.98. The price on the site was $30 each !!
Two weeks in and one hose has sprung a leak in two places, rendering it useless. These hoses are of very poor quality and I feel totally ripped off and deceived with both cost and quality. Waste of money.

prompt postage

arrival of the 3 hoses very promptly.
guarantee of hoses is only for 14 days post arrival
fittings to hoses do not appear to be either brass or copper.
fittings are very light weight, perhaps a light alloy or plastic painted yellow gold in colour.
works as stated at the moment as per the advertised product.

WARNING - cheap product

⚠️ Warning: This product only comes with a 14-day warranty - that should be your first red flag. My hose started leaking after just three months, and it’s only been used on weekends to wash the car. Clearly a cheap, low-quality import. I contacted Better Gardens and they refused to refund or replace it, claiming it’s “out of warranty”. Very disappointing - not a trustworthy product or seller.

The instructions are not explained

The instructions are not explained, it does not give you information on when to turn or not what you are assembling, they only give you numbers and letters, we are missing some washers, there are holes that do not match, although the aluminum material is fine.
