I've had this hose for 2 years. I've always kept the hose during the winter months. I stored the hose in a hose reel outdoors by my deck. I think it kinked up in a few places on the hose reel and remained throughout the winter. I unreeled the hose and the kinks just stayed in the same place. I do not recommend this hose.

This garden hose has aluminum fittings that will fuse to metal faucets and appliances. Fine print on back label warns this will happen. I had to grind off connection to get it off my outdoor faucet. Please bring back brass fittings! Gladly pay more for brass.

Unfortunately, I bought 2 of these last year. Both have completely collapsed and are useless. I'm never buying another hose that's not contractor rated. I live on acreage and have two large hose reels. The 10 year old hoses that I was trying to upgrade are holding up better than these. If the nearest Sam's wasn't over an hour away, I would have returned.

This hose kinks like crazy. I never experienced garden road rage. This hose has me on the edge. Not only that but it corroded to my grandmothers antique garden sprinkler. It was ruined trying to get this hose off the sprinkler. I am devastated. I bought 3 of these he double hockey sticks hoses. STAY AWAY!!!

Well made

Before it was Members Mark, it was a Sam's Club exclusive by APEX. APEX still makes the hose which has a lifetime warranty. Not sure if adding Members Mark to the label has changed that, but APEX is very easy to work with.

I bought this hose in August 2016 as it was it was much less expensive than others available. I have used almost every day since and it is great. I saw the comments about the hose kinking so to try to avoid this before I used it I extended the hose where it would get sunlight most of the day and left it there for two days before I started using and recoiling after use and I have had no kinks. I would buy again.

I bought this hose at my local Sams Club. I connected to the faucet while my daughter was holding the other end with nozzle. It just broke at the nozzle end after barely 5 seconds use. This is the worst product I ever purchased. Returned it right away for a refund. Save yourself aggravation and wasting your time going back to Sams to return this piece of junk. This product doesn' t qualify for even a single star!! VN, Dothan, AL

They say they are kink resistant and water will continue to flow even if they do kink, but every one I have purchased have kinked badly, and the water doesn't continue to flow when they kink. Obviously they know these hoses are junk because they originally had a lifetime warranty, you don't find that on the packaging any more!

I now have 3 of these in this latest version. This review is NOT a reflection of the original version which was a black hose with a yellow stripe and BRASS fittings. This latest version has been our now a few years and I made the mistake of buying 2 more beefier I realized just HOW BAD this hose is. IT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL GRADE IT KINKS ... HORRIBLY! IT CRACKS IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR IT SNAGS AND KINKS WHEN YOU DRAG IT AROUND FENCE CORNERS OR YOUR HOUSE IT HAS ALUMINUM TYPE FITTINGS THAT WILL CORRODE ONTO YOUR BRASS FAUCETS (tube original black hose version had brass fittings). RUN! JUST RUN AWAY FROM THIS CRAPPY HOSE AS FAST AS YOU CAN IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL GRADE HOSE Shame on SC for selling this crap as professional grade. Is absolute garbage. THE END *app would not let me add photo*
