Yes they do kink. In fact ALL THE TIME. They do not corner. They get tangled ALL THE TIME. Very Irritating Product. After 3 weeks of use, we will be throwing this hose out and getting something that WORKS.

They work like a slinky....which means you end up annoyed playing with it and never get to use it because it tangles, snaps back and clogs...oh and water never gets to come out where you want it...

My husband bought a coil hose at a major hardware department store. The quality of that hose was so poor that I turned to amazon is search of something better. This hose caught my attention because it resembled the hose I was replacing, purchased years ago at Costco. Because the written description is so generic and the reviews referred mostly to tangling issues, I had to rely on the photo to make my decision. When it arrived I was very disappointed. It was not the hose pictured on the web. It is similar but different. The couplings are different. The nozzle is different as well. Comparing the photographs, I'd say it's a lower quality version.


Please note the hose does not have any reinforcement at the female end. Most quality hoses have a spring or plastic sheath to avoid kinking near the spigot when the hose is fully extended.

This Hose is much easier to handle for me than a straight hose. I have to water the garden every day since my husband is at work. I'm not as young as I used to be or as strong. This dose a lot of the work for me by retracting on it's own.
