Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this hose over a year ago and have used it hundreds of times. Early on, I gave it a 5 star rating. After using it for over a year, I now know that the rating should be a one or two. The hose is lightweight and somewhat easy to coil up in a container where I keep it. However, this hose has absolutely the nastiest kinking problem of any hose I have ever encountered. Some kinks are almost impossible to remove. On an ordinary hose, you may initially have one or two kinks. Once these kinks are taken care of, the problem is normally over. With this hose, the kinks continue to develop as the hose is used, and they are very difficult to deal with. You can be using the hose, and the water flow will stop multiple times necessitating a trip to detect the kink(s). The packaging clearly indicates that the hose is “kinkless.” The hose is not kinkless. It is lightweight but this advantage is offset by the kinking issues.
