I know there were a lot of cheaply made ones and they got a bad reputation, but I love my Pocket Hose. I bought the heavy duty 50' version with the brass hardware a few years ago.
It's fantastic for hand watering and fertilizing with my hose end dispenser as it's much lighter and easier to maneuver around and between my raised beds than a vinyl or rubber hose.
I use it at least twice a week during the gardening season, and it's holding out very well. I always disconnect and drain it when I'm done, which takes no time at all. And it gets stored out of the sun in the Rubbermaid container with the rest of my garden gadgets.
