Best Soaker Hoses of 2025

"I found the Winisok soaker hose to be a great solution for my watering needs, especially during the drought. It has held up well through consistent use."

"Initially, I thought these hoses were fantastic, but after a couple of months, one developed a leak, causing issues with watering. Even though I got a partial refund, I wouldn't recommend this product."

"The design of these hoses is effective. I leave mine on for two hours, and it drips water appropriately, ensuring no waste. Just wish it was a bit longer for my needs."

"I found that the soaker hose works effectively and distributes water nicely across its full length."

"I purchased this hose to save time watering my flowers. It does its job well as a slow soaker, but I need to run it for a while. It's lightweight, stays in place, and is durable as long as I keep the holes facing down."

"Even though I can't garden anymore, I wanted to help my sister-in-law who just started growing flowers and vegetables. We bought her this twin-pack soaker hose along with a timer, which will save her lots of time watering, even when she's away. The ability to connect them for longer runs is a great feature, although I'm a bit concerned about how well they'll hold up in the Arizona sun."

"I bought this hose hoping it would work for my sod area, and it does! The fine mist it sprays covers the area perfectly, and I appreciate the extra washers and staples included."

"After trying several other brands, I was relieved to find this Winisok hose. It works properly right from the start and is much easier to handle and store due to its flexibility."

"I had high hopes for this hose after seeing a recommendation, but it didn't meet my needs. The fine mist isn't suitable for my shrubs, and when I flipped it over, it sprayed everywhere. The color is also quite tacky in the garden."

"I have several of these around my plants. I suggest considering a larger diameter if you want a faster drip for bigger areas, like around trees."

"I was pleased to see the amount of water that comes out from this hose. It's far more durable than flat ones I've tried, even though it’s a bit challenging to weave through the garden bed. I hope it lasts for many years!"

"These are the only soaker hoses I use now. They distribute water evenly along the entire length, so I don’t bother with others anymore!"

"I wanted to enhance my hanging baskets with a drip system. After trying emitters that overwatered, I switched to the 1/4" soaker hose, which worked perfectly without any drips. I did notice a few tiny holes that created a fine mist, but it wasn’t an issue, as I simply adjusted the line."

"I initially bought soaker hoses from Home Depot, but they barely delivered any water. After switching to Raindrip, I immediately noticed a difference. Water flowed perfectly across my entire garden. I wish I had researched earlier, but this product saved me a lot of frustration."

"This product is a game-changer for my garden. It’s clog-proof and sits under mulch without needing adjustments. I've been using it to make rings around my plants, and it’s my preferred method for watering now."

"I had given up searching for a good soaker hose. I tried more expensive options that didn't work well. But these hoses are surprisingly effective! They’re easy to install and distribute water much better than heavy hoses. I just ordered another one!"

"After years of using a sprinkler, I switched to these soaker hoses and I'm thrilled! They provide even water distribution and work perfectly with my well water pressure. Plus, they store flat, which is convenient for the fall. Overall, the best soaker hose I've used!"

"This soaker hose is exactly what I needed for my garden. It delivers just the right amount of water without spraying everywhere, efficiently watering my plants in no time. So far, it’s been great, but remember that the holes run the length of the hose!"

"After trying multiple soaker hoses, I found this one to have the best diameter. It matches my standard hose and allows for even water distribution. Plus, it’s easy to hide under mulch. I'm impressed with the quality!"

"I've purchased several soaker hoses for my hedge, and this one had good reviews. I do hope it lasts longer since I've noticed that many tend to leak after a year or so, especially near the connections!"

"I was excited to try this hose after receiving it overnight. It was noticeably heavier and larger than others. Upon using it, I found that it had a much greater output, consistently delivering water along its length. I'd prefer brass fittings for added durability, but overall, it's the best hose I've had!"

"I purchased this soaker hose to water some trees we had planted. Previously, I was using an open-ended hose on a slow trickle for about 30 minutes, which caused a lot of run-off. Now, I can run this soaker hose for 15 minutes and the containment fills without any run-off! Highly recommend this method for watering trees. Also, the end cap is included, so no extra purchases are necessary."

"After using this hose for a short while, I encountered some issues. Six uses in, it started spraying water from the last two feet, which affected the pressure. I reached out to the company due to the lifetime warranty, but despite sending a photo and info, I received no further response. Disappointing quality and customer service overall."

"I've probably bought about eight of these soaker hoses for my garden beds. They’re great for year-round use if you disconnect them in the fall. As long as you have enough pressure, you can connect three or four 50-foot sections together. If your pressure is low, stick to 150 feet at a time."

"I've purchased three of these for my yard, and I find them to be very well made and sturdy. The brass couplings are a huge plus. They do an excellent job of soaking the ground without wasting water. These are definitely of better quality than any other brands I've tried!"

"This summer, I've been using the soaker hose in my garden bed due to the lack of rain. Initially, it soaked the entire length well, but now the last ten feet isn't getting as wet as the first half. I've adjusted the water pressure down to 60 psi, yet the issue persists. I still appreciate that it waters on a timer without wetting the leaves."

"I recently planted six oleander shrubs in the hot Florida sand. Despite the minimal rain, they are thriving thanks to this hose, and they’re blooming beautifully."

"When I first received this hose, I was a bit skeptical. It seemed flimsy, and I thought it wouldn’t last long. However, I’ve found that it works exceptionally well, watering evenly along its length. It’s easy to handle and maneuver through my garden, and it’s soft and lightweight, which means it doesn’t crush my plants. Though it does kink sometimes, this minor issue is easily overshadowed by the convenience it offers compared to old-style hard soaker hoses."

"I bought five of these hoses in 2021 for my multi-level garden beds. I currently have them running on the surface but plan to bury them a bit next year. My gardens are quite large, nearly a quarter-acre, so I’m considering getting a pump for extra pressure. Overall, they work wonderfully! I don’t have to stand in the heat watering anymore, and the kinks work themselves out when I turn on the water."

"I have tried several soaker hoses, and I believe that Gilmour makes the best one. It delivers water evenly throughout the length, although I noticed that less water comes out at the end compared to the part nearest the faucet. They are flexible enough to make tight turns easily, and while I wouldn't recommend going over 50 feet, they’ve been quite effective for me. Just a heads up, you’ll need to pick them up when mowing and store them during winter."
