Customers like the value and quality of the hardware tubing. For example, they say it's worth the money, it'll hold up great, and is constructed of stronger materials. That said some complain about the hose developing holes. Opinions are mixed on water flow and thickness.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the quality of the soaker hose. They mention it's sturdy, provides even waterflow, and lasts many years. The plastic caps are reinforced and only need to be slightly tightened. The hose has a heavier construction and a very uniform drip pattern across the length. It has s lifetime guarantee and is the best soaker they've found.

"...I only needed one, but was happy the repair was so easy...." Read more
"...would recommend a more elaborate drip system with emitters...also easy to install but more expensive." Read more
Customers are mixed about the water flow of the hardware tubing. Some mention that it provides even waterflow, while others say that it leaks profusely from 2 spots near the attachment. The hose is thick, so not much water comes out to soak the soil.
"...makes the beds more attractive and hides the hoses, but also retains the water used, for further conservation...." Read more
"...If, or when, it develops a leak, I cut out the damaged portion, and splice in a new piece of hose using 5/8" hose fittings...." Read more

"...all but one of the hose endcaps has disintegrated and leaks have developed at the point where the connectors are supposed to be fused to the hoses’..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the thickness of the hardware tubing. Some mention that it's much thicker than most other brands, has walls that are a little thicker, and really last. However, others say that the hose is so thick that not much water comes out, and the caps are very thin.
"...They are much thicker than most other brands and evenly distribute water over the entire length of the hose even when several are attached together...." Read more
"...The hose is so thick you would never get a 5/8 repair kit to go in...." Read more
"...This one seems to be made of heavier and more durable material. It drips evenly all round the hose, and does not have any dry areas...." Read more
"...While the exterior of the hose is 5/8 inches, because the hose is so thick you need to use a 1/2 inch hose mender with an adjustable stainless steel..." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the hardware tubing. They mention that the end cap split after 3 hours of use, the second cap cracked, and the metal end was cracked. The end fittings also split and started leaking. The hose came apart and the brass couplings had split.
"...Fortunately, I found it early. The next week the second cap cracked. The manufacture needs to use a heftier cap as it can't take the pressure...." Read more
"...However, after three months of service all but one of the hose endcaps has disintegrated and leaks have developed at the point where the connectors..." Read more
"...The end fittings split and started leaking, thus not allowing enough pressure to force the water through the hose...." Read more
"The hose seems sturdy enough, but the end cap split after 3 hours of use." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the hole in the hardware tubing. They mention that the small pores plug up and little or no water escapes. They also say that the hose develops extra holes that would spray water in. Customers also say the fine pores clog up and require additional pressure.
"Hose seemed very sturdy. After a few years, the fine pores clogged up and required additional pressure to force the water through...." Read more
"...By the end of summer it did develop some extra holes that would spray water in places you really didn't want it...." Read more
"Bought 3 of these already in 4 years. Do not last and developed leaks especially at connectors...." Read more
"...But now less than 11 months the hose has a major hole that results in spraying only one area and is completely useless...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the hardware tubing. They mention that the diameter is not as big as they'd like, the ID of the hose was smaller than expected, and it won't fit any 5/8 attachments.
"...is double the size of a standard hose, which makes the inside diameter too small for 5/8" hose fittings...." Read more
"...But found the ID of the hose was smaller than expected. Most ID's are 1/2" or so but this hose had a 3/8" ID...." Read more
"The diameter is not as big as I'd like. It doesn't allow for enough water to get to the very end of the hose...." Read more
"...It will not fit any 5/8 attachments, so goo luck with it." Read more

Have permanently installed these, laid atop the soil over the root zones of azaleas, acubas, cleyeras, etc., pinned down with steel L-shaped stakes, then covered with mulch and compost. Covering the hoses not only makes the beds more attractive and hides the hoses, but also retains the water used, for further conservation.
Our landscape has an in-ground sprinkler system, but my goal is to use that for watering only the turf areas, utilizing these soaker hoses to maintain the non-turf areas, about half of the total area. Sod requires too much water in our area, (north central Texas,) and I know much of the water used to maintain the more moisture-sensitive shrubs, such as azaleas, is wasted when running the sprinklers. Multiple soaker hoses can be connected to each other for longer runs, and sometimes using multiple shorter hoses instead of one very loooong one can be beneficial in the event the hose(s) must be moved for some reason. Simply disconect one or two 50-footers, instead of one 100-footer.
I have different beds connected together with sections of regular garden hose, and have either buried the regular hose just beneath the sod across the lawn area, or covered with mulch in a non-sodded area. This allows me to water one entire side of the yard at once, instead of having to connect/disconnect various hoses from the spigot(s). A 'Y' connector here and there allows the branching of a couple of soaker hoses to different areas for greater coverage.
Two more suggestions for anyone contemplating a project such as this: replace the black pvc cap(s) on these hoses with brass caps, usually available at your local hardware store. If you live in a climate where the hoses will be left outside in the winter, eventually the plastic caps will crack and degrade, resulting in leaks. Plastic caps will also break if stepped on, or run over with the mower or other lawn equipment. Brass quick-disconnects are also invaluable for any gardener who uses hoses and various watering devices. Don't bother with the cheapo plastic versions.... they don't last long and can't be left outside in freezing weather. Except for occasionally replacing the rubber washers, brass connectors last indefinitely, and are well worth the higher initial cost. Just make sure the male and female components are made by the same manufacturer; one brand may not crossover (fit) another brand, so buy a female coupler for each spigot or hose end, and one male end for each watering tool or hose-end device. And get a couple extra male ends in case you buy more watering tools, but don't forget to remove these brass pieces in the even you have to replace a worn-out hose or tool.
And finally, if your municipality uses the Water Department as a profit center like ours does, water conservation is not only beneficial to the planet, but beneficial to your pocketbook as well.
I have hundreds of feet of soaker hose throughout my property. If, or when, it develops a leak, I cut out the damaged portion, and splice in a new piece of hose using 5/8" hose fittings. The brick and mortar stores no longer carry 5/8" soaker hose, so I have been forced to purchase it online; a process that has been hit and miss. Hoses should be sized according to their inside diameter, but a lot of online companies reference the outside diameter, which makes them too small to splice to my existing hoses.
When I received the Dramm Premium soaker hose, it felt like a quality product, and the outside diameter matched my existing hose, so I thought I had found what I was looking for. However, when I cut a piece to use for repair, I discovered that the wall thickness is double the size of a standard hose, which makes the inside diameter too small for 5/8" hose fittings. (It's actually too small for 1/2" fittings as well.) This was disappointing, as the description said 5/8" hose, and as stated earlier, hose should be sized according to its inside diameter.
Amazon was sympathetic to my explanation, and went the extra mile as usual, allowing me to return the cut hose. However, I thought I should point out this idiosyncrasy to other potential buyers that may be intending to cut and splice pieces together. For anyone not intending to cut and splice it, I don't think you could find a better product.

The Dramm Model 17030 (or maybe 17050) has much thinner walls and might not be rated for underground use; however it is cheaper and has a higher gallons per hour drip rate. It MIGHT also be listed as Premium in some listings.
The Amazon product listings really need to explain these differences better.
