Why in the world am I writing a review for this hose? Because I have experience with a bad hose and I didn't know hose technology really mattered, but it does. This hose is pretty darn close to being "NeverKink" and definitely worth an extra couple.

A really top knotch hose. Hard to kink and it seems as if it will last a long time. Brass connectors also higher quality that most hoses,

I've had this hose through summer 2007. It frequently kinks, it's heavy and difficult to straighten...and, coiling it is a real wrestling match...with the hose often "winning". Now that it's getting cold, the hose has stiffened to the point that I cannot put it on our hose reel. My Wife struggled with it for 30-minutes the other day, just to untangle it and make 3-foot coils on our front yard. When I find a new, better hose...I may GIVE this one away to someone I really dislike.

Bought this hose because I was fed up with garden hoses that kink as you drag them around the yard....Well, this hose is not the solution....Mine kinks all the time in 2-3 different places....It is very heavy to pull around the yard....If it was not so heavy and cost so much to send it back ,,I would have returned it....Maybe I got a lemon,,but this hose IS NOT a "never kink".....

Best Hose I have ever bought! No Kink is true !
Would buy another!

I am sorry to say that this item kinks up more than a rattlesnake trying to get away from a coyote. After many years of using premium, life-time guaranteed rubber hoses from a huge retail company, I decided that I was tired of the black marks that were left on my concrete and bricks. I was aldo tired of the hoses kinking - no matter how I used them. Walla, I saw this and decided to try it. It does not leave black marks. That is good. Howver, it is very stiff and it kinks every bit as much as my premium rubber hoses. I do not recommend this item.

Reasonably good quality for a low price, but "NeverKink" is a slight exaggeration. I think shipping was free, a factor that means a big difference in price.

Paid the extra bank for a hose that says it doesn't kink and it kinks. Other than that it performs as well as any other good quality normal hose. Maybe it should be called "IMAGOODHOSEBUTISTILLKINK".

I'm not to sure what to think about a company that would name a product, "NEVER KINK" and have it do nothing but kink. The only time it didn't kink was the 15 mile ride in the back of my truck as I was bringing it back home from Lowes. I have stretched it out the entire 100', let it sit in 100 degree + sun for hours only to have it kink at least 5 places on the hose when I unwound it. It's going back to Lowes tomorrow.

I would buy this hose or others made by this manufacture again.
