Flexible Garden Hose 100 FT - Heavy Duty Non-Expandable 100FT Outdoor Water Hose Pipe, 1/2" x 100Feet, 3/4" Solid Swivel Fittings, 100 Feet, Kink and Leak Proof

The media could not be loaded.  I've been using this hose for about two months now, and recently I've come across some Q&A asking whether this hose will tangle. I thought about it and found the structure of this hose quite interesting, so I'd like to share my review: For the selling points listed about this hose, I will share my opinions one by one:1."Kink-Free". My personal experience is that as long as you understand the principle behind its non-kinking feature and use it correctly, it will not kink. Just like how using a lever or pulley can save effort, this is a physical manifestation. The hose has a rotating internal structure in the connector. If the hose tends to tangle, bend, twist or kink, the forces generated will drive the rotating internal structure within the connector, causing the hose to rotate itself and loose the area that is about to tangle, bend, twist or kink. Alternatively, you can just hold the nozzle or fitting and drag the hose to achieve the same effect. Almost all negative reviews mention kinking, but in reality, they have not tried using it and just assumed it would kink based on appearance. Of course, it's not their fault, as the hose looks like a large bundle, and it's normal to have such concerns. But once you've used it, you'll find it really works well.Note: If a knot has been tied in the hose, it will definitely need to be untied manually, and this is the same for any hose.2."Extremely Durable". I've used traditional rubber hoses, the expandable hoses that have become popular in recent years, and some metal hoses. If we compare, this hose is indeed more durable. Let's not even mention the expandable hoses, which, if you're unlucky, you might need to replace several times a year. I've consulted the seller, and they've upgraded the material formula of this hose from traditional hoses, thickened the tube, and conducted a "pressure test" in the laboratory for an entire month continuously, so they are very confident in the durability of this hose. So far, my experience is that it is indeed very sturdy, and I have not seen any negative reviews about quality. Therefore, the durability of this point is still worth looking forward to.3."Lightweight". This really depends on the hoses of comparison. If compared with traditional and metal hoses, there is no doubt that it is lightweight. However, compared with expandable hoses, it is by no means lightweight. This requirement is quite subjective, so it depends on the buyer's usage needs. In addition, whether it is convenient to store or not, my conclusion is that compared with expandable hoses, it is not convenient at all. Compared with non-expandable hoses, it's the same. But the seller said that after use, you can just leave it on the ground without tidying up. If that's true, then it's still very advantageous because if you don't tidy up, there's no issue with whether it's easy to store or not. In summary, I would say it's not lightweight, but it's acceptable.4."All Weather Use". To be honest, I don't know the significance of this selling point. If it's to emphasize that it can withstand the winter, then I won't evaluate it for now, as it's not winter yet. Many hoses on the market cannot withstand the winter. Basically, after winter, when you use them again, you'll find they can't be used anymore, especially the expandable hoses. However, traditional hoses perform better in this regard, so if this hose has been upgraded from traditional hose materials, then it should have no problem facing low temperatures.In addition, I would like to mention a few issues that the product itself did not mention, and I have also consulted the seller about these issues, which I hope will be helpful to everyone.1.Whether it is UV-resistant. This will directly affect the entire lifespan of the hose. I have consulted the seller, and the hose material has been added with UV-resistant components, so they dare to say that you can just throw it on the ground after use, and it will not age.2.Whether it is mold-resistant. This will also affect the entire lifespan of the hose, as no one wants to pick up a hose full of mold. I have consulted the seller, and the hose material has also been added with antibacterial components. As with the previous point, you can just throw it on the ground after use, and it will not grow mold.3.Whether there is an odor. Some hoses on the market have a rubber smell or the smell of raw materials. But at least the one I used doesn't have that, and I have consulted the seller, and the hose has also been added with components to neutralize the odor, so there won't be a strong smell when you open the box.4.Water pressure. This hose does not use the traditional 5/8 inner diameter but a slightly smaller 1/2 inner diameter. Of course, most hoses on the market should have an inner diameter of around 1/2, as hoses with a 5/8 inner diameter are more expensive and cumbersome. But I have carefully observed the inlet and outlet of this hose, and they are not much different from the inlets and outlets of hoses with a 5/8 inner diameter, so in summary, the water output of this hose will be smaller than that of a 5/8 inner diameter hose but larger than most hoses with a 1/2 inner diameter on the market, which can meet the normal use needs of most users. In addition, I would like to remind you that many hoses on the market that are labeled as having a 3/4 or 5/8 inner diameter are falsely advertised and may not even reach 1/2 in reality, and the outlet may even be smaller, especially the expandable hoses that are popular now. Due to functional and structural reasons, the inner diameter is made smaller, otherwise, they cannot expand.5.Whether it is drinkable. The seller suggests not to drink from it, not because the quality of the hose, but because it is uncertain whether the water source is clean or if there is any residual water left inside the hose when used. In addition, I would like to remind you that many hoses on the market that are labeled as drinkable are actually falsely advertised and may have lead exceeding the standard, and they cannot be used for drinking.To summarize:Durability 5 starsLightweight 4 starsManeuverability 4 starsSuggestions:1.If you are a patient person or a professional gardener who wants to buy a cost-effective hose, I think this hose is a good choice. It solves many functional problems, and the price is relatively low with a long service life.2.If you are a person with a fast pace of life and want to quickly take care of your garden, then you can buy an expanding hose. To be honest, it is really lightweight, and many people who have used it can't go back to other hoses, but be aware that the service life of expandable hoses is generally not long, and they often need to be replaced frequently.3.I don't particularly recommend traditional hoses and metal hoses, as their advantages are not obvious in comparison.

This hose will NOT kink, the handle swivels. I love it! Flexible, easy to use, GREAT value, good pressure. Durable.

I cannot tell you how many hoses I have purchased including the lightweight retractable hoses that NEVER hold up. This hose is perfect, it does not kink. I have been using it for about 2 months dragging it across my rock yard and not a scratch. This hose is lightweight for the type of hose it is. I am 105lb female and it is light to me. It performs exactly as stated. I feel it is the best hose I have purchased. Highly recommend. I will be buying another.

The media could not be loaded.  I am surprised by the functionality of this hose. I decided to buy one of these kinds after trying to pressure wash using my backyard 100ft super heavy garden hose on a roller. Handling a pressure washer with that was so difficult so wanted a flexible hose pipe.My 2 cents below:Pros:- Great built quality. Hose endings are heavy. Looks very good quality- Comes as a great package including hose with 8-spray nozzle- Water pressure is normal like other hoses. No complaints there- Endings should be rust-free for long use- Reasonable price for the package- Portable & easy to storeCons:- Don’t see any specific as of now

I was surprised by its small and light box when it arrived. Put it on and no kinks. The only concern was less water flowing through it than our original 5/8 hose. I thought about saving water, so I decided to tolerate this. I will update this review later for its long term use result.

So far it’s true to their word no leaks and no kinks and it’s very lightweight but had to order a replacement since the one I received didn’t come with a hose gun

One of the first things I noticed was that if you hook one end to the spigot and turn the water on, the water flows through it and comes out the other side. It works as a garden hose should. No kinks and the fittings did not leak.

The media could not be loaded.  Impressed with the sturdy build and high-quality materials, I was impressed right from the beginning. With a diameter of half an inch and a length of twenty-five feet, this product is ideal for the majority of household applications since it offers sufficient reach without being excessively cumbersome. On the other hand, the smallest of features are what genuinely differentiate this hose from its rivals. No matter how I bend, twist, or deform it, it never loses its shape and never gives in to those feared kinks that can hinder the flow of water throughout the pipeline. I've never before encountered such a high degree of flexibility in a garden hose, and it's a real game-changer when it comes to maneuvering between confined spaces and obstructions.
