Hansgrohe HG28276003 63-Inch Techniflex Hose, Chrome

 (9 customer reviews)

I bought this a long time ago and it's still holding up today.

Long story short, I've gone through a number of home improvement store purchased shower hoses for my hand held shower heads, and I find that the laminated coil types will inevitably spring a leak in the vinyl laminate if you twist them enough through everyday usage.

This hose is the perfect solution - it's solid rubber so it won't spring a pin hole leak unless you, of course, puncture it with a pin. It's also very long relative to other hoses, which is great for rinsing off lower extremities and rinsing a bath enclosure from wall to wall. And for the length of hose, what I paid for it and for how long it's held up, this hose was a great deal.

Totally recommended.

I am on my third hose after two and a half years. The hose comes apart and pops off at the end where the hose meets the shower head. I have been very careful after the first replacement. It broke after one year anyway.

1. Seems much more durable that the braided hose it is replacing. I don't have the experience of the other reviewer (I just received it), but it does appear that it is built to last.
2. MUCH more attractive than the old hose.
3. I wish it was a foot longer, and I would have been happy to pay more for the extra length. The "normal" length for shower handle hoses appears to be 69". This one is 63". I'd like one that is about 80". But I didn't downgrade it as the length is clearly stated in the description. If you can't deal with the shorter length, buy something else.
4. Toss a rag over the drain before bringing the hose in the shower to install. The o-rings can escape.
Overall, a nice buy and roughly 1/2 the price that I would have paid at a home center for an inferior product.
