 Excellent Buy May 20, 2007

This garden hose does what others claim but don't do: it does not kink. It may not be the lowest in cost, but it appears to be the best value for your money. Well constructed at the two ends, too! I am happy with it.

Hooked it up to the faucet to wash my wife's car and got sprayed in the face from the middle of the hose.

1. Incredible flow available!
2. All that flow works great to clean stuff!
3. All that flow works great for watering the garden too!
4. Seems to have a smell the dog doesn't like---he doesn't chew it!
I will buy more like this in the future. No more 5/8" hoses for me.

It is cheaper to buy this hose the first time than any of the less expensive competitive versions. This one lasts and doesn't kink. It works in very cold environments including the mountains of Colorado. Our previous one lasted over 15 years before being chewed and destroyed by a black bear.
 Heavy duty rugged hose, but mine leaks... December 13, 2005
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I got this hose because a deal site I subscribe to exploited a price mistake on it and I bagged it for $5 + shipping from Amazon, so hell of a deal. It's a heavy duty hose no doubt and that may be good for some applications. However if you don't have the pressure to really take advantage of a hose like that, then what's the point? I have good pressure in my house; however the water lines for the spigots use " hose line from the main, so up scaling to " hose is kind of mute. It's much heavier than a 5/8 hose of the same length so be careful of those small shrubs or you'll decapitate them when dragging it around.
Only other complaint I have is leakage, which is really annoying especially when it's cold out. The problem isn't the gasket or my spray heads, it's at the hose ends and it leaks between the threads and the hose itself. It leaks at both ends no matter how tight I have it. So this aspect really annoys me.
Not knocking it especially for the price I paid, however I wouldn't have paid $30 on this hose as its just overkill for what I need. If I had to do it all over again I'd rather have a 100' 5/8" hose as I just don't see the point of having anything wider, again unless you have the pressure to take advantage of it.
In the end, good sturdy & rugged hose that will last many years. 3 out of 5, mainly because of the leaking. If I'd spent $30 on a hose, I'd expect it not to leak a drop...
