I have bought two of these hoses in the past year and for the most part I am pleased with how light and flexible they are, but this second hose has a kink in it and it won't come out- very annoying! Not sure if when it was packaged if the tie wraps were too tight or not. See attached photos- this hose should be replaced!
This hose is as versatile as a pocket hose type but much more durable. It is lightweight and easy to handle unlike traditional hoses. This is one of the most important features for me being 60+ years old.
