I got the pocket hose too. Loved it. Notice the past tense.
After a few weeks it sprung a leak in the hose part. Threw it away, bought another just in case it was a fluke. Lasted only a week. Good thing I saved the receipt this time, so I returned it and got my money back.
I have the nutribullet too. Like the magic bullet, but larger to make smoothies.
Loved it too, but after several weeks it started leaking rust into the smoothie!
I never soaked it in water, and I dried it after washing. Walmart did let me trade it for a new one. We'll see how long it holds up.
Lesson learned - always save my receipts!! I loved both products if they can figure out a way to solve the problems.
