Connector Strength

Customers have mixed opinions regarding the connector strength of the Atlantic Premium Hybrid Heavy Duty Short Garden Hose. While some are pleased with its ease of attachment, others have reported issues with the connectors breaking or separating from the collar/end within a short period of time. Some customers suggest leaving the hose in a garage for a while before use to reduce the strong plastic smell.

Durability

Some customers have reported issues with the durability of the product, specifically the brass fittings coming off or breaking after a short period of use. Others have noted concerns about the hose emitting a chemical smell and stale water. However, a smaller number of customers have mentioned that the hose is durable and well-made.
