I have been using this product for the last 3 or more weeks, pretty much daily, and have had no problems with it. The steel casing seems to be tough and durable. Yet, the hose is easy to pull around the garden and roll up after use. Hopefully, it lasts me a few summers.

This garden hose indeed does not kink. However, there are 3 things of concern I identified: 1. The hose diameter is thinner thhan a regular rubber hose, so is seems as if I am not getting water flow as much as I would expect. The provided screw out nozzle is difficult to operate. 2. The plastic ends of the hose look pretty brittle. I am pretty sure they will eventually crack from being exposed to heat and direct sunlight, and will break as a result. 3. The fact that the hose is metal and does not flex when you step on it, it is a slipping hazard. If you leave the hose on the flat surface of the walkway, if someone steps on it they can slip and fall. This is actually a serious matter. The only way this can be addressed by the manufacturer wrapping the hose in a protective rubber or silicone

I researched a number of 100 foot garden hoses in order to determine the characteristics that mattered most to me. I focused on durability, weight and quality. This hose is made of steel and my expectations therefore are high. With respect to weight. I was surprised that the steel hose was as manageable as it is. The brass end fittings, the special turn-off valve and the stainless steel segmented hose are packaged to form a very useful hose

Arrived with box in perfect condition but the actual hose was broken. The sealed bag in the box was open and hose metal was separated and you could see the inner hose. Also the info papers were stuck together at the corner. When I purchase an item as new I expect to be the first owner not get someone else’s damaged item.

To rate a hose, one really needs to see how it stands up over time. This seems like a very rubbed hose! It is fully metal encased. The material is similar to a cross of the lines used for interior plumbing fixtures and flex metal conduit for electrical use. I have not had it long enough to realty rate it, but it seems very sturdy.

These are the best light weight hoses I have ever had!

Top quality. Well made. Durable

Sturdy lightweight but so hot to touch!! Can scratch a fence when moving

LOVE this hose. Does not kink or get tangled up at all. I water my plants and just pull it back towards the house when I am done. The next time I go to pull it out, it is just nice and smooth.

Yard debris does not stick, easy to store and moves around smoothly. Seems durable, eater stream efficient. Still smells like a skunk attack even after weeks out of the package.
