Aqua Joe 50 Foot Professional Grade Garden Hose with Dual Swivel Grenade Grips, Kink-Free and Abrasion Resistant Flexible Hybrid Polymer, Blue

Has held up two years so far. Resists kinking. Quality fittings.

This hose remained flexible and easy to move around. Occasionally it would kink but with a flick of the hose would right itself without having to backtrack and undo it. It was hung at the end of the garden mostly in the sun and was always good to go. I am going to find a better place to hang the hose out of direct sunlight to extend the life, though. I just purchased this 2nd one and will get rid of another hose that I was using to extend my reach for watering a large garden. I believe with 2 of these hooked together my job will be much more pleasant without having to fight with a stiff hard old hose.

Really like this hose. It is super flexible and nearly kink free. My one nit with it is the plastic protector that is supposed to keep the connection from getting pulled at an angle slipped off the connection on the first use and there is no way to get it back on, no matter how hard I try. It is, so far, working very well and holding up to rigorous use during our extreme heat this summer.

Very happy with these hoses (2). After I uncoiled them, they aremuch easier to work with than previous hoses.The only criticism I have is the black hard plastic that is supposed togo over each end is loose.I'll have to Super Glue them to keep them in place. They help take stressoff the end of the hose, and give a better grip when tightening or removing.But still over all worth 5 stars because of the quality of the hose.

A few years ago I bought a 50' hose off Amazon from some off-brand vendor. It looked good on the website and seemed like a good product by the description. It was one of those water expandable fabric flexi ones. It seemed like it would be good but in reality it turned out the materials were shoddy and the plastic end pieces broke after a few days. I ended up stuck with that thing so I swore off buying garden hoses from Amazon after that experience and also since you can't really tell by just the website if they have any flaws up close.This Aqua Joe one caught my attention regardless. It was a reasonable price but looked way better made than the last one so I was tempted to buy. Also it advertised durability and flexibility and looked more like a traditional hose so I gave it another try.It exceeds my expectations. Much better made than the cheap water expandable type and also better than the standard garden hose I was using before in that it is more flexible so it coils up easily with little resistance. The end pieces are also made of metal (never buying plastic again no matter what the price) and have rubber grips. Couldn't be happier with it.

This is hands down the best garden hose I've ever purchased. We have a small farm, and we've purchased more hoses than I can count over the years. Even the expensive hoses from [national home improvement box store] that promise to never kink and up being a hot mess after a year of use. This hose, however, has absolutely lived up to the hype - and has never had a kink in it's life. We will be purchasing more of these!

I bought this specifically because it said it would not kink. It kinked coming out of the box. It kinked when I used it. It does kink. Other than that, it is a decent hose, not too heavy, easy to maneuver and water around your yard. But be prepared to walk back and undo the kinks. Both connectors are solid as of now. It did not come with a washer? I had to go find a washer before I could actually use it.

This is not a strong hose at all! We have only had it a few months and it kinks and twists just as bad or worse than any hose I have ever used. Dis-Appointed!
