The best Gardena hoses, compared.
Top pick: Gardena Comfort Flex 13 mm, 10 m – Score 80 at about £17.81, with 4.7 from 5,318 reviews, a 25 bar field and a 20-year line on a 10 m hose-only listing. Best value: Gardena Comfort HighFLEX 13 mm, 50 m – Score 78 at about £79.99, the longest hose in the set, with 4.6 from 5,093 reviews and a listed weight of 6.69 kg. Updated October 2026.
A fixed-length garden hose carries cold mains water from a UK outdoor tap to beds, a patio, or a reel. The usual bore is 13 mm (1/2 inch). Two constructions sit in this category: a round spiral-mesh PVC hose, and a textile hose with a fabric sheath you coil by hand. You recognise a suitable hose by measured reach, what is in the carton, and the pressure figure. Measure from the tap to the furthest bed, including corners, then add slack. Published bands are about 10–15 m for a balcony or small garden, 20–25 m for a medium garden, and 30 m or more for a larger plot. Those bands are the maker's experience, not a survey. Many cartons contain the hose alone, so budget a G 3/4 inch (26.5 mm) tap connector if that is your tap, plus a 13 mm hose connector. Read the printed bar number as burst pressure, not as the pressure at the tap. How to order length, family, and the bar number is in the [hose buying guide](/hub/garden-watering/gardena-hose/sub/gardena-hose-buying-guide).

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
How long is the run from the tap, including corners?
On amazon.co.uk this Comfort Flex is listed at about £17.81 with 4.7 from 5,318 reviews, the highest star rating in this set. The title is a 10 m, 13 mm hose without parts, made in Denmark on the origin line, with a 20-year guarantee in the bullets. The saved sample holds 10 UK reviews, so the written complaints are a thin sample next to the rating count.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A short run or a spare that should match other Gardena hose, if 10 m is enough.
Less suitable: A garden that needs 20 m or more, or anyone who needs a tap connector in the same box.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Comfort Flex 10 m listing include connectors?
No. The title says without parts, and the scope line is one 10 m hose. The bullets say Original system parts can be added.
What pressure figure is printed for this 10 m hose?
The maximum-pressure field says 25 bars. The bullets say the hose can be used up to a water pressure of 25 bar and state a 20-year guarantee for proper use.
What did the saved UK reviews say about the ends?
One of the 10 reviews said both ends arrived pressed and rough, and the buyer cut them before a fitting would go on. Other reviews in the sample praise flexibility.
This is the only 50 m hose in the set, listed at about £79.99 with 4.6 from 5,093 reviews and a stated weight of 6.69 kg. The title says 30 bar burst pressure and Power Grip. The listing does not state a warranty year, and the review text mixes in comments about a 30 m hose.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A long run on a reel, if you already have 13 mm connectors and can store the weight.
Less suitable: A balcony or anyone who wanted a ready-to-use set with a nozzle.
Specifications
Common questions
Are fittings included with the 50 m HighFLEX?
The scope line is one 50 m hose. Reviews include buyers who expected fittings and did not find them. The bullets say it fits Original Gardena system parts.
How heavy is the 50 m listing?
The item-weight field says 6.69 kg. The title length is 50 m, and the dimension line also says 50 m.
Do the reviews say it never kinks?
No. Kink is the main complaint in the 47 reviews in the sample, alongside praise for build. Some of those reviews are about a 30 m version on this ASIN.
The title is a 20 m Comfort HighFLEX at about £57.88 with 4.6 from 860 reviews, origin Germany, and 30 bar bursting pressure. The item-length field of 200 cm does not match that title. Twelve reviews in the saved sample mention kinks and coil memory, and also praise strength.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A medium run if the live page confirms 20 m and you already own connectors.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs the length field and the title to agree before ordering, or who needs fittings today.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this HighFLEX 2 m or 20 m?
The title, article 18063-20, the scope line, and the dimension line say 20 m. A separate item-length field says 200 centimetres. Treat that field as a conflict, and check the live page.
Does the 20 m listing include a nozzle?
No. Included components say one item, and the scope line is the hose. There is no warranty year on the listing.
Premium SuperFLEX 30 m is listed at about £69.99 with 4.5 from 1,250 reviews. The title states 35 bar burst pressure and Power Grip. The listing does not give a warranty year or a country of origin, and reviews split on kinks and on missing connectors.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Someone who wants the SuperFLEX family at 30 m and will buy connectors separately.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs a kink-free promise or a complete set in one carton.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the 30 m SuperFLEX include the connector in the photo?
The bullets do not list a connector. UK reviews say the picture shows one and the box did not contain it.
Do reviewers agree that it does not kink?
No. The bullets say the textile keeps it from knotting. In the first 50 reviews, some buyers report little kinking and others report many kinks along the run.
Liano Life 15 m is listed at about £39.98 with 4.4 from 1,048 reviews. The bullets describe a textile sheath and a 22 bar burst pressure, and the warranty line says 2 years. The included line is the hose, while the title says the package may vary.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small garden if 15 m reaches and you can confirm the carton contents.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs a stated set of tap connectors, or a run much longer than 15 m.
Specifications
Common questions
What is in the box on the 15 m Liano listing?
The included-with line says one 15 m hose. The title says the package may vary. One of the 15 reviews mentions a nozzle, which the bullet does not list.
What warranty does this Amazon listing state?
The manufacturer-warranty line says 2 year manufacturer. The bullets state a 22 bar burst pressure, frost and UV resistance, and a textile sheath.
Liano Life 25 m is listed at about £45.58 with 4.4 from 392 reviews, origin Denmark, listed weight 2.84 kg. The bullets say a 22 bar burst pressure and a textile sheath, and they do not include fittings or a warranty year.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A medium garden where a textile hose you can coil by hand matters more than Power Grip.
Less suitable: Someone who needs a written multi-year guarantee on the Amazon listing, or connectors in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the 25 m Liano include fittings?
The included line is one 25 m hose. Power Grip is not mentioned. There is no warranty year on the listing.
What failed in the reviews?
Most of the 21 reviews praise light weight and hand coiling. One says the textile cover parted at the seam after light use and the inner tube ballooned.
Liano Life 30 m is listed at about £55.76 with 4.3 from 419 reviews, the lowest star rating in this set. Bullets say a textile sheath, a 22 bar burst pressure, and one hose. There is no warranty year. Twenty reviews in the saved sample are mostly positive about weight, with one unexplained leak.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A longer textile hose for hand storage, if 22 bar burst and a hose-only carton are acceptable.
Less suitable: Someone comparing it with SuperFLEX on burst rating, or who needs fittings in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Can the listing say this 30 m Liano is for a pressure washer?
No. The saved listing asks whether it can be used with a pressure washer and does not answer. The pressure figure given is a 22 bar burst pressure.
Are connectors included?
The included line is one 30 m hose. Reviews that like it talk about kink resistance and storage, including a wall mount bought separately. One review says it leaked with no obvious cause.
Seven amazon.co.uk Gardena hose listings are on this page. There is no laboratory test. The saved score is the star line, up to 60 points, plus the review count on a log scale to 10,000, up to 25 points. Those two inputs add to at most 85. The other 15 points on a 100-point scale are not awarded: length, fittings, burst wording, and the warranty line stay in the table. The top pick is the Comfort Flex 13 mm, 10 m, score 80, at about £17.81 with 4.7 from 5,318 reviews. Best value is the Comfort HighFLEX 13 mm, 50 m, score 78, at about £79.99 with 4.6 from 5,093 reviews. The badges follow those display awards.
Amazon stars
60%The amazon.co.uk star line contributes up to 60 points. It is not a kink test or a durability test. Written complaints in a small saved sample sit beside the star line and do not replace it.
Review count
25%The review count contributes up to 25 points, on a log scale that reaches its cap at 10,000 reviews. A large count can still hide a thin set of written comments.
Listing facts held out
15%Length, fittings, the burst figure, Power Grip, and the warranty line are compared in the table. The score note does not add points for them. Those 15 points on a 100-point scale stay unused.
Order the decision as length, then family, then fittings, then the bar number. These seven amazon.co.uk listings are the hose alone. A printed bar figure is burst pressure, not the pressure at the tap. Prices and stars below are the captured UK shelf lines, not a laboratory test. Cutting the hose square and fitting a 13 mm connector is covered in [how to fit the hose](/hub/garden-watering/gardena-hose/sub/gardena-hose-how-to-fit).
A Gardena hose in this comparison is a fixed-length 13 mm (1/2 inch) hosepipe. UK buyers use it to replace a split hose, to match fittings they already own, or to pick a length for a balcony, a medium garden, or a reel. Two constructions cover the set. Spiral-mesh PVC is the round hose: Comfort FLEX, Comfort HighFLEX, and Premium SuperFLEX. Liano Life is a textile hose with a PVC inner tube and a fabric sheath. Classic, EcoLine, Liano Xtreme, and 19 mm hoses are not in this set.
22, 25, 30, and 35 bar on these listings are burst ratings. Ofwat's minimum in the communication pipe is 0.7 bar. Do not divide the burst figure and call the result a working pressure. None of these hoses is a pressure-washer hose.
All seven bullets say the hose only. Reviews on the 30 m SuperFLEX say the pictured connector was not in the box. Article 18445-20 is a set on the maker's UK page and a hose-only line on the matching Amazon listing.
The 10 m Comfort Flex is the lowest cash price in this set. It does not reach a 30 m garden. Measure corners first. A shop that relabels a 22 bar textile hose as if it matched a 35 bar spiral hose is not a reason to ignore the printed figure.
Reach is the first split. Measure from the tap to the furthest bed, including corners, and add slack. The maker's bands are 10–15 m, 20–25 m, and 30 m or more. They are experience, not a survey. In this set that maps to a 10 m Comfort Flex, a 15 m Liano, a 20 m HighFLEX whose item-length field says 200 cm, a 25 m Liano, two 30 m hoses, and a 50 m HighFLEX. The 50 m row lists 6.69 kg. The 30 m SuperFLEX lists 1.45 kg, which the display flags as unusually low for 30 m and unchecked.
Every bullet in this set is the hose, not a ready set. Add a G 3/4 inch (26.5 mm) tap connector if that is your tap, and a 13 mm hose connector. Power Grip is stated on the spiral hoses and not on the Liano rows. The bar numbers are burst ratings: 25 bar on Comfort Flex, 30 bar on HighFLEX, 35 bar on SuperFLEX, and 22 bar on Liano Life. Ofwat's 0.7 bar minimum is a supply standard, not a spray test of these hoses.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You measured about 10 m and you already own connectors, or you can buy them separately. The Comfort Flex 13 mm, 10 m is the top pick at about £17.81, with 4.7 from 5,318 reviews, a 25 bar field, and a 20-year line in the bullets. The carton is the hose only, and one saved review describes crushed ends.
You drag the hose around beds and you want a fabric sheath rather than a round spiral hose. The Liano Life 25 m is listed at about £45.58 with 4.4 from 392 reviews, a 22 bar burst line, and a listed weight of 2.84 kg. Fittings are not in the included line, and the listing has no warranty year.
The tap is a long way from the last bed and you can store the weight. The Comfort HighFLEX 13 mm, 50 m is the best value at about £79.99, score 78, with 4.6 from 5,093 reviews and a listed weight of 6.69 kg. The title says 30 bar burst pressure. Kink comments are in the review sample, and no warranty year is printed.
The top pick is the Gardena Comfort Flex 13 mm, 10 m, score 80, at about £17.81 with 4.7 from 5,318 amazon.co.uk reviews. It has the highest star line and the lowest cash price in this set. The title is a 10 m, 13 mm hose without parts, with 25 bar in the pressure field and a 20-year guarantee in the bullets. Ten written UK reviews sit beside that rating count, and one describes crushed ends. The best value is the Comfort HighFLEX 13 mm, 50 m, score 78, at about £79.99 with 4.6 from 5,093 reviews. It is the only 50 m hose here. The digest price bands put it at about £1.60 per metre, the lowest in this set, with a listed weight of 6.69 kg. The title states 30 bar burst pressure. Kink complaints appear in the review sample, and the listing does not state a warranty year. Neither score is a laboratory test.
