Overview
A 5/8 inch by 50 foot garden hose built to resist kinking and stay flexible without the coiled memory of scrunch-style expandable hoses, assembled in the USA.
Several long-time owners in the reviews are on their second or third purchase after years of use on the first, which is a stronger signal for a garden hose than any listed spec, since hose failure is usually a matter of time rather than day-one performance.
- 5/8-inch diameter, 50-foot length
- Lightweight design, about 50 percent lighter per the listing
- Kink-resistant construction, does not retract or coil-shrink
- Assembled in the USA, lead-safe for drinking water
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
The strongest theme across reviews is longevity and repeat purchasing; several owners are on their second hose after 6 to 7 years with the first and describe the fittings and flexibility as holding up the whole time. Buyers moving from expandable or coiled hoses specifically like that this one does not shrivel back on itself. The recurring complaint is kinking, a handful of reviewers say it kinks more than they expected or more than an older version of the same hose, and one owner reported a coupling leak develop after months of closing the nozzle while water was still running.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- A share of reviewers still report kinking, more than an older version some owners compared it to
- One long-term reviewer developed a leak at the metal coupling
