    Did you use a conventional hose or have you tried it yet with a collapsible hose?

    I did buy that 3/4" 100' collapsable hose and I store it in a 5 gallon bucket along with the syphon hose and a short pressure washer gun. I brought it along, but didn't need it as there was a regular hose right next to the deck. But, when I got home I wanted to warm up the oil again so I connected it to mine and ran if for about 10 minutes (used a zip tie on the trigger so I could multi-task). Worked just fine.

    So my two garden hoses are vinyl, they suck, to stiff. Old ones were rubber, but rot / wear out to quickly. Been thinking about the new fancy shrinking ones, opinions.

    Love mine!

    Takes a little getting use to as they need to drain to fully collapse. But I store mine in a medium plant pot that sort of looks like a little barrel. Way more convenient and tiny footprint compared by my old hose reel.

    I think I posted a pic a while back. I spent more than most cost as it's for work.

    I'd recommend getting one with a built in swivel.

    I agree with Sig45. Been using them exclusively for years. Do it. They don't have the longevity of a quality rubber hose but are cheap enough that if one bursts I don't care
