Apex 8885-50 NeverKink 5/8-Inch-by-50-Foot Commercial Duty Hose Review

I got this hose was a little scared because of the negative reviews I was seeing. My experience is that the hose is MUCH better at not kinking compare to my Flexogen (expensive) hose. The Flexogen was almost unuseable in my backyard 3 to 4 kinks constantly and losing water pressure all the time. This Teknor has in 5 days of watering only mildly kinked once and when it did, a shake of the hose freed up the kink. The flexogen I would have to actually pickup the kink and straighten it; with the Teknor just a simple flick of the hose while still watering was enough to fix it. Huge Improvement! I give it 4 stars because it can still kink so Neverkink is a misleading name but works so much better its really more of a 5.

GT MTL Bubbler Review

Apparently the new bubblers are not as well made as the older ones.I purchased two of these recently.The hose attachment on one of my new bubblers came loose from the body within a few days of use.The other one appears to be suffering the same fate.

Buy the plastic version.I have a couple of them and they seem to not have this problem.

Black & Decker BD70205 50-Foot Garden Hose with Solid Brass Couplings Review

Advertised in big letters on Amazon as "Black and Decker" Hose, this comes in a package almost exactly like the one shown on the website EXCEPT it's made by a company called BOND. Might be a great company, but not what i would call truth in advertising.

Gilmour 15 Series 4 Ply Reinforced Vinyl Hose 1/2 Inch x 25 Feet 15-12025 Green Review

I bought this hose at Home Depot (actually, the 50 ft version) on sale for 9.99. It broke in 1 day of normal use. I have a water sprayer-nozzle on the hose and left the water running overnight. I think that pressure caused it to burst with a quarter size hole. Unless you use a hose without a spray-nozzle, this hose is not worth the time or hassle. In addition, its made with cancer-causing agents -- check the "do not drink from this hose" warnings. It's made with chemicals that are known to cause cancer and birth defects. How "real" this is, I am not sure. But it's a very unsettling mandatory warning on the packaging. Farming sites I read said many hoses have this, and to let the water run before applying it to plants.

Still, with breakage AND cancer, I say just buy another hose!!

Suncast HSE10 10-Foot Leader Hose for All Hose Reels Review

The ten foot length of this leader hose was a nice switch from the short three feet that originally came with my hose cart.Unfortunately, however, this leader hose is not reinforced like the original, shorter one.As a result, it kinks easily.

Flexon FR5880 5/8-Inch x 50-Foot 3-Ply Light Duty Garden Hose Review

If I could give this item zero stars, I would. At least in warm weather (high 70's), the off-gassing is so extreme that the whole front yard smelled like toxic chemicals. The water smelled equally strongly of chemicals. I got the odor on my hands and it took 24 hours to wear off even with repeated washings. I know how to coil a hose because my father taught me how to do it correctly. This hose was virtually impossible to coil. It's extremely soft and kinks instead of bending. Even laying it out in a completely straight line before coiling (the proper way to set up a hose for coiling) didn't help as the hose would kink within the coil at each bend.

Avoid this product. Goodness knows what chemicals they put into these hoses but they smell like a toxic dump *and* they don't work well.

Gilmour 10 Series 8 Ply Flexogen Hose 1/2 Inch x 75 Feet 10-12075 Green Review

After trying all kinds of hoses over the years, I think this one is the Holy Grail. All of other hoses I've tried kinked. Period. And continual kinking of the same areas eventually lead to bursting hoses, which means my "hose fix kit" keeps making the usable hose shorter and shorter, until finally I have a spigot with a sprayer directly attached to it. But low and behold, reading the reviews of Gilmour Flexogens, you simply can't go wrong here. May cost more up front, but if there's EVER a problem with the hose, snip the ends, send it to Gilmour, tell them how long you want, and they'll send you a replacement. Period. No questions asked, no reciept. Just a "have a good day" and you're off spraying your neighbor's cat again. Also, I used to use 3/4" hose because we have very good water pressure out of the spigot, but I figured with the warranty the 1/2" would work. I'd very highly recommend this, as the 1/2" works PERFECTLY, plus it is much more lightweight. This hose is somewhat "heavy" compared to the others I've tried/felt, but compared to getting sprinkled in the face from hose-kink-holes of previous hoses, that is by no means a complaint. You know that cowboy lasso dance you used to do when holding the sprayer and trying to turn the hose so that the hole is facing the grass instead of spraying you. You know.. that dance that has one of your shoulders either really veiny and striated, or else ripped your rotator cuff. Well you can kiss all of that goodbye. The quality of this hose is no joke. From the threaded connectors which feel heavy and do not bend around the hose like most others, to the 8 ply hose itself which just doesn't kink. Now... is it me, or should Gilmour start making cars, TVs, and Vacuum Cleaners?

Gilmour FX6 Faucet Extension and Flow Control Teal Review

The stake and knob are OK, the knob is still just a quarter turn from zero to full pressure, so its not as nice as using an actual faucet.

The short hose that is included had VERY leaky connections to anything I tried to connect it to. Since the whole idea is to leave the faucet at the house side on all the time so that you don't have to dig through the foliage, its very disappointing, the hose will be leaking constantly.

Gilmour 25-34025 25 Series 25-Foot-by-3/4-Inch 6-Ply Commercial Rubber/Vinyl Hose, Red Review

I have a commercial grade hi-pressure electric pressure washer that I use in my business and a strong, durable and crush-proof 3/4" diameter hose is essential for good continuous water flow to the pump. 5/8" simply won't permit enough flow under constant use and use of a 1/2" would quickly damage the pump.

The 25-foot length is ideal for use out here in Arizona because most homes have several garden hose bibs strategically located around the property as well as electric outlets.

While there are countless high quality 50-foot and 75-foot 3/4" hoses available in the big box stores and home centers, the shorter length of this one means less weight, easier set-up and knockdown, easier coiling up and neater storage on the washer cart.

It's a well-made garden hose that does not kink, collapse or become unruly as some quality hoses often do. It stands up to the intense heat and sunlight even while resting on blistering hot concrete.

The ends are attached securely, finished nicely and I have not experienced any leakage or drip problems at the bib end regardless of how many times I've attached and removed the hose on the job.

Amazon's price is so low that if you bought two (2) of these and attached them together to make up one 50-foot hose, they'd still cost you less than one 50-foot 3/4" quality hose in the store. Plus, you'd have the versatility and convenience of shorter hoses when you need them.

Since the 25-foot length is not available in any of the stores out here, I'm making sure I don't get caught short by ordering a second to keep as a spare.

Gilmour 15 Series 4 Ply Reinforced Vinyl Hose 1/2 Inch x 50 Feet 1512050 Green Review

This is 1/2" hose instead of 3/4" and I think that is a major plus for 95% of home use. I can't tell any difference between the water pressure because it is a 1/4" smaller, but it is MUCH easier to manhandle around the yard.It also rolls much more easily onto a hook or spool.

Swan SN58R015 5/8-Inch x 15-Foot Remnant Garden Hose Review

My garden hose was just a few feet too short to reach a few areas of my lawn, and rather than buying a longer hose, I decided it would make sense to get an "extension."This product was very inexpensive, so even with some bad reviews, I figured I'd give it a shot.Well, I've already have it connected to my hose, and it works just fine!The description said, color may vary, but I got a green one, which matches my hose.It came with a washer, which prevented any leakage, and I couldn't be happier.Give this a try!

Apex 8605-50 NeverKink 2000 5/8-Inch-by-50-Foot Heavy Duty Ultra Flexible Hose Review

This hose is rather heavy. It seems well constructed but it DOES kink. In fact, the second time I used it (after simply coiling it loosely on the ground) it kinked in three places as I pulled it out to reuse it.Because of the way it it constructed, if joined with another hose it tends to work itself free at the joint. I had to retighten the connection. Not sure I would buy another one, given the extra cost.

One reviewer mentioned it was a bit heavy but manageable at 25'.I wish I'd bought a 50' since it's actually a fairly light hose.

Apex 6612-50 AquaPure Neverkink Eco-Smart and Family Safe 9/16-Inch by 50-Foot Garden Hose Review

I needed to buy new hoses and I liked the idea of buying a hose which was not made with lead. I am trying to wind it up after each use to keep it in shape. It is much lighter than my previous heavy duty hoses so keeping the hose wound up is a much easier task. It has kinked but only a couple of times. I think finding a hose which never kinks is almost impossible to avoid when you are dragging the hose all over the yard. I believe the older heavy duty hoses didn't kink due to the fact they weighed 100 lbs (or felt like it).

Apex REM 15 15-Foot Connector Hose Remnants, Colors May Vary Review

Not sure why they are called 'remnants', these are 15' hoses with fittings on each end.I received two different types of hose material, apparently these are the ends of long rolls the factory cannot use in longer lengths.

These hoses are actually fairly inexpensive.The hose material is mid-range quality, and the hose fittings (one male, one female) are decent but not higher quality.

I bought several and am using them for areas that already have a long hose but with plants near the faucet, so the long hose can stay on the outer parts and this shorter hose can water the nearby plants.However, 15' doesn't go very far, so practical use is limited.

I am using two to extend existing 100' hoses that are just a few feet short.Beats adding another 25' hose to the 100'er.

All in all, useful at a bargain price. I have more on order.UPDATE Aug 27, 2009 -
I have purchased a dozen or so of these and have been using them all summer during 100+F degree hot sun.I haven't had a single problem with any of them.The one hose that did develop a mesquite thorn leak was a high quality rubber hose.Sometimes cheaper semi-hard vinyl like these win in the end.

Still 5 star happy !
