I've had the Cobb hose for about a year. I don't put a zillion hours on it but by now it had about 400 hours. I run a Butler Max heat. First a 1 foot Good Year type hose whip coming from the machine and usually the first 50' after a Good Year too. After that and always in the home- I run the Cobb hoses.
So far it has been good. Definitely runs much cooler. Does not retain shape, but I always roll in fairly large loops while the hose is still warm. It never goes on a reel or live.
The see through cover of cobb's hoses is a little rougher (it has a little of a grab) but so far it held well.
Yes I would buy again.
But then I don't cook my hoses as some Canadians tend to do

That's why I always hand coil and hang my hoses.I've had the Cobb hose for about a year. I don't put a zillion hours on it but by now it had about 400 hours. I run a Butler Max heat.

I cook hoses.

Ron. That's clearly not Canadian.
Maybe that's why you should move in with Damon in Redding CA.
He'd bitch about wanting to move away from CA and you about wanting to go back to CA of the north

Neptune hoses hold up to my abuse. I like the look of the Cobb hose though.

The issues with Neptune are:
- Heavier.
- Less heat retention and if running hot leaving a mark on the carpet.
- Black death. (When the inner rubber detaches and gets into the solution.)
- No warning when they fail, like the pinhole leaks in Parkers (not sure if Cobb's gives that warning.)
- Slightly harder to unroll (more directional).

Porty hacks hand roll hoses
TM Cleaners use reels

Hand rolling hoses is better than the reel thing. Kinda like Pepsi.

Good info. My last hose was a Parker. It got kinks and it ruptured. I thought I’d try the Neptune. It never left any blue marks but it will leave trails if you leave it to long. I like the flexibility and it doesn’t get kinks. Maybe I’m taking better care. Maybe. Anyway got about 800 hours on this hose. I may go ahead and change it.

Sorry Jeff. I must have been referring to Mardie

I bought 100' for one truckmount, and 150' for the other. I am using a 220,000 BTU LP heater in each van.
Love it, but it does need 3 weeks of use to loosen it up so it is easy to reel up. Then it is pretty much kink free coming up on the reel.

I will buy it again. I plan on hand rolling after I do a post cool down after each job... it has a different ‘feel’ to it, yes, it’s cooler to the touch, yes, you get higher temps ATW....
I don’t know about longevity yet, only time will tell...
A job today, I cleaned a bunch of uph, mid way through, I presprayed the hall and bedrooms.... NO TATTOOS....
This carpet welted the last time I cleaned it, and I didn’t do the uph first...

Kinks???
over 25 years using Parker Parflex 1035HT and never kink'd a hose
never had a rupture either
The jacket blistered and pin sprays develop, but never a side split rupture like I've had with Ineptune

Everything needs a little extra motivation from time to time. Even hoses.

Employees love hose reels. Plus you have fewer hoses to maintain.
