When my wife and I bought our first house in 1994 I went to the hardware store like a good homeowner and bought a normal 50' and 100' hose for the two bibs on the house.
Guess what, I still have both those hoses today and use them all the time.
Those "retractable" hoses look cool and easier to use (I wouldn't call using a hose hard in any manner) but I'll take the normal hose any day.
I probably got lucky when I bought my hoses because they probably weren't made in China the manufacturing shit hole so they've lasted more than 6 months.
