The best 3/4 inch garden hoses, compared.
Top pick: Vartco 19 mm 20 m Updated October 2026.
A 3/4 inch garden hose, in UK trade language, is a hose with an internal bore of about 19 mm. It is not a narrower hose that only screws onto a 3/4 inch BSP outside tap. On shop listings the same words often describe the brass nut, so you split bore from fitting before you compare anything else. You buy a stated 19 mm bore when a sprinkler, a long run, or filling a water butt is held back by a narrow pipe. Hand watering can stay on a 12.5 mm hose. A suitable hose shows that bore, a connector made for the same bore, and a length you can measure. A 19 mm wall needs a 19 mm tail. Read any bar figure as a listing claim. A burst number is not tap pressure. A temporary hosepipe ban can stop specified uses whatever the diameter. How to choose bore, length and fittings is in the [3/4 inch garden hose buying guide](/hub/garden-watering/garden-hose-3-4-inch/sub/garden-hose-3-4-inch-buying-guide).

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What are you watering?
Vartco B09W5J55KG is one of two listings that print 19 mm as the hose size. The title is a 20 m professional hose, 3/4 inch, operating pressure 25 bar, and the maximum-pressure field repeats 25 bars. Weight is 4.8 kg. Bullets name a 3-ply polyester knit, a blue coating, UV resistance, and −10°C to +45°C. No fitting is listed. The score is 62 because 5.0 stars contribute the full 60 points and two reviews contribute very little on the log scale. That star line is real on the listing and it is a thin sample. The saved listing contains one German review praising the goods and the delivery speed. There is no UK review text to describe kinks, fittings, or life. Manufacturer is Party Nation. Brand is Vartco. At about £27.60 it is the cheaper of the two stated-19 mm PVC hoses, with a shorter coil than the Faithfull 30 m.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 20 m hose whose title says 19 mm, and you will not treat two stars as a durability record.
Less suitable: You want UK review comments, fittings in the box, or a 30 m coil.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the Vartco hose 19 mm?
The title says 3/4 inch (19 mm) and the outside-diameter field says 19 mm. The listing does not separate bore from outside diameter.
Does it include fittings?
The bullets ask whether fittings are included and do not list a tap connector or a nozzle.
How many UK reviews are in the saved listing?
The listing line is 5.0 from 2. The only review text in the saved listing is in German and was written as a review in Germany.
Faithfull B07HLKDK6H is the 30 m yellow builders hose at about £43.00, scored 61 from 4.3 and 35 reviews. The title states 19 mm, which is the diameter this category is meant to compare, and the listed weight is 7.24 kg. Bullets describe a 24-braid mesh and a 3-ply wall, −10°C to +40°C, and a five-year guarantee. UK reviews call it a step up from thin green hose and, in one case, a feed for a power washer. The same UK titles say it kinks and is harder to bend than cheaper 19 mm hose. The saved listing also contains short reviews from France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, including a French comment that the hose collapses. Those are not UK reviews. You get the hose only. The pressure field says 10 bars while the bullets say a burst figure up to 40 bar. One UK reviewer paired it with a 19 mm Gardena connector, which matches the practical point that a 12.5 mm click fitting is the wrong tail.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 30 m hose with 19 mm printed in the title and you will buy 19 mm connectors separately.
Less suitable: You want a light hose for daily hand watering, or fittings in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the 19 mm Faithfull hose?
The title says 30 m and 19 mm (3/4 inch). The outside-diameter field also says 19 mm, so bore and outside diameter are the same number on this listing.
Are fittings included?
Included components are the hose. The bullets do not name a tap connector or a nozzle. One UK review fitted a 19 mm Gardena connector.
Is the pressure 10 bar or 40 bar?
The maximum-pressure field says 10 bars. The bullets call up to 40 bar an optimum bursting pressure. Both lines are on the listing.
Gardena Liano Xtreme B0BNLNB2QY is the dearest listing here at about £84.99 and scores 63 from 4.2 and 103 reviews. The title is a 20 m 3/4 inch textile set, model 18480-20, for indoor water taps, and the bullets add a sprayer and two tap connectors. Outside diameter is 21 mm, so the 3/4 inch name is not the same as a printed 19 mm bore. Weight is 3.5 kg, lighter than the Faithfull 30 m coil. The pressure field and the bullets both say 35 bar. The warranty field says 2 year manufacturer, while reviews mention 30 years. The saved review sample is multilingual. English comments include a buyer who received a hose without the set, a buyer who liked the light coil, and a buyer who found the textile peeling and hard to patch. A German-language comment describes flow close to the tap after 20 m. That metre reading is one review, not a test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 20 m textile hose sold under the Gardena 3/4 inch name and you will check that the sprayer and both connectors are in the parcel.
Less suitable: You need a printed 19 mm bore, a 30 m reinforced coil, or a warranty figure taken from the specification line rather than from reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the Liano set a 19 mm hose?
The title says 3/4 inch. The outside-diameter field is 21 mm and the wall field is 2 mm. A separate 19 mm bore is not printed.
What is in the box?
The bullets list one 20 m hose, one water sprayer, and two tap connectors. The title says the package may vary. One English review says a single hose arrived instead of the set.
Is the warranty 30 years?
The specification line says 2 year manufacturer. A 30-year warranty appears in reviews, not in that field.
Flexi Hose B0DZR7VRHL scores 74, the highest figure in this set, because the listing line is 4.1 from 47,222 and the review-count part of the score is capped at 25. The saved listing does not contain 47,222 reviews. UK comments in the sample praise the light hose, the one-handed spray, and how it shrinks for storage. The same sample includes holes by a third summer, a plastic connector that snapped after three uses, and fittings a buyer could not join to other garden accessories. The 3/4 inch claim is the brass nut, and one bullet points that nut at typical outdoor taps in the US, so it is not evidence of a 19 mm bore or of a 3/4 inch BSP thread. The title length is 50 feet, while the dimensions field says 30.48 m. Included Components says Hose even though the bullets describe an 8-pattern nozzle. At about £19.99 it is the top pick only on the star-and-count formula.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the expandable listing with the largest amazon.co.uk count in this set and you only need a 3/4 inch-style brass nut, not a 19 mm bore.
Less suitable: You need a stated 19 mm hose for a sprinkler or a long reinforced run, or you need fittings that match a UK click system.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this Flexi Hose a 19 mm bore?
The listing calls the connectors 3/4 inch brass and says they fit typical outdoor taps in the US. It does not state a 19 mm bore. The outside-diameter field is 0.75 inches.
Does the box include a spray nozzle?
Included Components says Hose. The bullets describe an 8-pattern ABS nozzle with a rubberised handle.
What does the 12 bar line mean here?
The bullets and the maximum-pressure field both say 12 bar. That is the listing claim. It is not a measurement of a UK garden tap.
Lukiegale B0H6R3R3Y8 scores 64 from 4.1 and 245 reviews, at about £23.79. The title length is 50 ft, also written as 15 m, and the included list names the hose, a 10-mode gun, three washers, a bag, and a manual. The fitting note is the clearest UK-tap language in the expandable group: removable 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch male adaptors. That is still a tap thread, not a 19 mm bore. UK reviews that like it mention an easy tap fit and the spray patterns, and many of them say they have used the hose once or for a few weeks. The repeated complaint is length. One buyer measured about 20 ft against a 25 ft expectation. Others say they had wanted 75 ft or 100 ft. The dimensions field of 10 mm by 10 mm cannot describe the hose. Temperature is only in Fahrenheit. The manufacturer field reads Lukiegale-US.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 50 ft expandable hose whose listing talks about UK tap adaptors, and you will measure the filled length before you rely on it.
Less suitable: You need a 19 mm bore, a measured 30 m reinforced hose, or a pressure-washer feed without extra fittings.
Specifications
Common questions
Will the Lukiegale adaptors fit a UK outside tap?
The listing says the tap end has removable 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch male adaptors for most standard UK garden taps. One UK review says to unscrew the top adaptor for the larger tap.
Is the hose 19 mm?
No bore of 19 mm is printed. The 3/4 inch figure is the adaptor and the nozzle thread.
Can it feed a pressure washer as sold?
The listing says you need a separate female quick-fit connector for a pressure washer or a third-party nozzle. It does not give a pressure-washer rating.
Akiuhen B0GCYQQ54F scores 56 from 3.6 and 120 reviews, at about £15.99. The title is a 75 ft expandable hose with 10-function nozzles and both 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch fittings. A bullet splits that into 25 ft empty and 75 ft full. Weight is 1.4 kg. UK reviews that like it mention brass fittings, a long reach once the hose is filled, and the spray patterns. The failure reviews are specific: a leak after 16 days, several holes later in the season, an inner-tube leak after two uses, and an outer web that snags. Included Components says NO, which fights the bullets. There is no bar field and no temperature field. Colour is stored as Black Green: 75ft. It is a different ASIN from the other Akiuhen 75 ft hose at about £12.99. Neither states a 19 mm bore.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cheap 75 ft expandable hose and you will treat the filled length and the fitting list as something to check on arrival.
Less suitable: You need a stated 19 mm hose, or you need the included-components field to match the bullets.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this Akiuhen hose include fittings?
Included Components says NO. The bullets describe a 2-in-1 brass fitting for 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch taps, a 10-function nozzle, hooks, and a bag.
How long is it before the tap is on?
The bullet says it shrinks to 25 ft (7.5 m) and expands to 75 ft (22.5 m). A UK review says you have to fill it to see the full length.
Is the bore 19 mm?
No. The 3/4 inch figure is the faucet fitting. The outside-diameter field is 0.75 inches.
Akiuhen B0GCYT61ZX is about £12.99 and scores 51 from 3.2 and 100 reviews. It is a 75 ft expandable hose with a three-layer latex core and a 2-in-1 fitting for 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch taps. The wall field says 0.5 mm. Material field says Plastic, while the bullets say latex, fabric, and brass. Included Components says NO. UK reviews include buyers who like the reach and the light weight, a return driven by the spray gun, a split within two weeks, holes on arrival, and a kink when the hose is moved during watering. One buyer ordered 100 ft and received 75 ft. One reviewer who liked the fittings said the hose did not last once it was dragged like a normal hose. There is no pressure field. It is the cheaper of the two Akiuhen 75 ft ASINs and it is not a 19 mm builders hose.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest 75 ft expandable listing in this set and you accept a mixed review file.
Less suitable: You need a 19 mm bore, a reliable gun, or a components list that matches the bullets.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the same hose as the other Akiuhen 75 ft listing?
No. This ASIN is B0GCYT61ZX at about £12.99, colour field Blue: 75ft, wall field 0.5 mm. B0GCYQQ54F is about £15.99 with a black and green colour field.
Why do reviews mention the spray gun?
The bullets describe a 10-function gun. One UK review returned the hose because the gun was poor even though the hose seemed fine. Another review reports a leak at the connector.
Does 0.75 inches mean a 19 mm bore?
The outside-diameter field says 0.75 inches. The 3/4 inch words in the title are the fittings. A 19 mm internal bore is not stated.
RUCUDIM B0G4QW5W1F is the short expandable lead at about £10.99, scored 46 from 3.1 and 24 reviews. Stored length is 2.5 m and the expanded claim is 7.5 m, also written as 24.6 feet. Weight is 430 g. The 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch figures are metal connectors, not a 19 mm bore. UK reviews that succeed use it to turn a corner onto a soaker or to bridge two sprinklers. The failure that repeats is the connector: it unlatches, will not seal on Hozelock fittings, and in one review whips when it blows off. Another leak started at the connector after three weeks, and one hose would not expand. The included-components sentence on the amazon.co.uk page is in German. There is no pressure field. This is a patch lead, not a 20 m or 30 m garden hose.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need a short expandable extension and you can confirm the metal connector fits the hose you already own.
Less suitable: You need a 19 mm hose for a lawn, or you rely on Hozelock click fittings.
Specifications
Common questions
How long is this hose in use?
The item length is 2.5 m. The bullets say it extends to three times that, to 24.6 feet, and the included-components line says 7.5 m when filled.
Will it stay on a Hozelock fitting?
More than one UK review says the connector will not stay on a Hozelock fitting and blows off when the tap is opened. Other buyers used it as a short extension where the fittings matched.
Is a nozzle included?
The buyer questions ask about a nozzle. The included-components line names the hose and metal joints only.
FUYAOZHISHANG B0GJ42ZFM4 scores 43, the lowest in this set, from 2.6 and 83 reviews, at about £16.99. The included list is fuller than the other cheap expandables: nozzle, both connector sizes, tape, seals, hanger, bag, and a manual. Item length is 22.86 m. A bullet also claims up to 100 feet, and a UK review denies that length. Weight is 500 g and the outside-diameter field is 2.5 cm, which is not a 19 mm bore. Suggested pressure is 3 to 12 bar and the pressure field says 12 bars. UK reviews in the sample are dominated by pinholes within weeks, a burst after three days, a split within a month, and a leak behind the brass fitting. A minority call it more robust than other expandable hoses they have owned. Later text in the saved listing is German and is not about this hose, so it was not used. The listing is a garden hose with 3/4 inch connectors, and the review file is the warning.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the expandable listing whose box list is written out in full, and you have read the 2.6 score first.
Less suitable: You want a 19 mm hose or a review file that is not mainly early leaks.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this hose 75 ft or 100 ft?
The title says 75 ft and the item length is 22.86 m, which is about 75 ft. One bullet says the hose can reach up to 100 feet. A UK review says it is not 100 ft.
What fittings are listed?
Included components name a 10-function nozzle, 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch metal connections, PTFE tape, three seals, a hanger, a bag, and a manual.
Is the bore 19 mm?
No 19 mm bore is stated. Outside diameter is 2.5 cm. The 3/4 inch figure is the connector.
Nine amazon.co.uk listings are on this page. Scores were taken from the listing lines captured on 21 October 2026. Amazon stars supply up to 60 points, the star rating divided by 5 and then multiplied by 60. Review count supplies up to 25 points, on a log scale towards 10,000 reviews. Counts above 10,000 stay at 25. There is no separate equipment score and no laboratory test. A 3/4 inch fitting is not treated as a 19 mm bore. That limit is written in the assessment. It is not a hidden deduction. The Flexi Hose listing scores 74 and is the only badge, the top pick on this star-and-count formula. No second listing ties that score, so no best value badge is awarded. A 5.0 from two reviews still follows the listing line. The only review text in that saved listing is in German.
Stated bore
30%A 3/4 inch garden hose in UK trade language has an internal bore of about 19 mm. A 3/4 inch nut on an expandable hose is a tap fitting. The two are not scored as the same thing.
Connector for that bore
20%A 19 mm wall needs a 19 mm tail. Ordinary click fittings specified for 12.5 mm and 15 mm hose can leak or blow off on a larger bore.
Measured length
15%Buy the run you measured, plus a short spare. Expandable titles usually mean the filled length, and reviews often say that length was short.
Pressure as a listing claim
15%Bar figures stay listing claims. A burst bullet is not tap pressure and not a pressure-washer rating. Where two figures disagree, both stay.
Star line and who wrote it
20%The published score uses the amazon.co.uk star line and the review count. A large count is not a count of reviews read here. A thin sample stays a thin sample.
Split the bore from the fitting first. A 3/4 inch garden hose in UK trade language is about 19 mm inside. A 3/4 inch brass nut is the tap end, and it is common on expandable hoses that never state 19 mm. Then match the tail, buy a measured length plus a short spare, and read every bar figure as a listing claim. Stars are the amazon.co.uk line. There is no laboratory score on top.
A 3/4 inch garden hose, in UK trade language, is a hose with an internal bore of about 19 mm. It is not a 12.5 mm hose that only screws onto a 3/4 inch BSP outside tap. Shop titles often use 3/4 inch for the brass nut, especially on expandable hoses. Split bore and fitting before you rank length, weight, or a pressure line. You buy a stated 19 mm bore when a sprinkler, a long run, or filling a water butt is limited by a narrow pipe. Hand watering can stay on 12.5 mm.
A 3/4 inch brass nut, including one described for outdoor taps in the US, is not a 19 mm internal bore. Expandable listings in this set use 3/4 inch for the fitting. Confirm 19 mm in the title or the specification before you buy for a sprinkler or a long run.
Ordinary hose-end connectors on a common UK click system are specified for 12.5 mm and 15 mm hose. A 19 mm wall needs a 19 mm tail. A leftover half-inch fitting can leak or blow off when the tap is opened.
Ofwat’s floor is 0.7 bar in the communication pipe. A 40 bar burst bullet beside a 10 bar field is two listing lines, not tap pressure and not a pressure-washer rating. Keep both figures. Do not put an expandable hose on a pressure washer.
Confirm the bore before you compare anything else. In UK trade language a 3/4 inch garden hose has an internal bore of about 19 mm. A 3/4 inch BSP outside tap is a different measurement. Hozelock’s tap guide treats 3/4 inch BSP as the common UK outdoor tap, and it says outside diameter is not the BSP size. Shop titles often put 3/4 inch on the brass nut. Faithfull B07HLKDK6H and Vartco B09W5J55KG state 19 mm.
Match the tail to the bore, then the length, then the pressure line. Ordinary hose-end connectors on the common UK click system are specified for 12.5 mm and 15 mm hose. A 19 mm wall needs a 19 mm tail. A click fitting left over from a half-inch hose can leak or blow off. Included-components fields sometimes disagree with the bullets. Read both. Buy the measured run plus a short spare. Published garden-hose bands run about 10–15 m, 20–25 m, and 30 m plus.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You need a stated 19 mm bore, not a 3/4 inch tap nut. The Faithfull 30 m builders hose prints 19 mm in the title, at about £43.00, with 4.3 from 35 amazon.co.uk reviews. It is hose only, listed at 7.24 kg, and UK reviews call it stiff. Buy a 19 mm tail separately.
Hand watering can stay on 12.5 mm. If you still want a light expandable hose, the Lukiegale 50 ft listing is the one that names removable 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch adaptors for most standard UK garden taps, at about £23.79. That is a tap thread, not a 19 mm bore. UK reviews dispute the filled length.
The Flexi Hose 50 ft expandable listing is the top pick because it scores 74, from 4.1 and 47,222 amazon.co.uk reviews, at about £19.99. The 3/4 inch claim is the brass nut, and one bullet points that nut at typical outdoor taps in the US. Sample reviews include holes and a connector that snapped. The count was not a count of reviews read here.
The top pick is the Flexi Hose expandable 50 ft listing, at about £19.99. It scores 74, the highest figure in this set, from 4.1 and 47,222 amazon.co.uk reviews. Stars supply up to 60 points and review count up to 25. That count is the listing line, not a count of reviews read here. The 3/4 inch claim is the brass connector, with US-tap wording in a bullet, so it is not a stated 19 mm bore. The title says 50 feet and the dimensions field says 30.48 m. No best value badge is awarded. No second listing ties 74, and the method has no price score to create one. If you need 19 mm printed in the title, look at the Faithfull 30 m hose at about £43.00 or the Vartco 20 m hose at about £27.60, and read how thin the Vartco review file is. None of these figures is a laboratory test.
Not awarded. No second listing ties the top score, and the method does not add a price badge.
