Teknor Apex NeverKink Lite, 6600-50 Garden Hose, 9/16-Inch by 50-Feet

Purchased a 100' Apex hose and a 50' NeverKink Lite hose. I have been very pleased with both. They have not kinked, not even once. I am so tired of hoses leaking at the faucet that am using the Gilmour Rubber Hose Washers, advertised on the same page as the Apex hose. They have not leaked. Perhaps I have finally found hoses that will work and last more than 3 months.I do not recommend the following 4 hoses that I have tried in 12 months;• Most expensive, guaranteed not to leak or kink hose from Home Depot. I spent more time unkinking the hose than watering.Then, I moved to the expandable hoses. Great advertisement convinced me that these would be perfect. Each lasted 3 months before springing leaks bigger than my dumb...impossible to repair:• Hosem(Tm)-75 Ft - Expandable Garden Hose + 7 Function Spray Nozzle and Shut-off Valve...• Flyeagle(TM) 100Ft EXPANDABLE GARDEN WATER HOSE, Ultralight Flexible 3X Expandable Garden Magic Water Hose Pipe + Faucet Connector + Fast Connector +• Expandable Hose 75 Feet Green, No Kinking, Flexible, Lightweight...I liked the expandable ones when first purchased and recommended them. Sorry about that now.

I suspect that naming it NeverKink was wishful thinking, much like calling myself Cindy Crawford all day long doesn't make it true. This "NeverKink" hose is stiff enough to perhaps not kink as much as a super cheap garden hose, but that also makes it a complete pain to try and put away as it won't coil up. Here's what it all comes down to. It kinks. And every time it kinks, it's a little more annoying than a typical hose kinking because now you have the added insult of having purchased a product with a brand name that is in itself a lie. And you fell for it.Dear NeverKink. Here are some suggestions for more honest names.LessKinkSometimesKinksGuaranteedKinkKinks At The Most Inconvenient TimesKnockKnock. Who's There?

I have been using this hose for a couple of years now and have even brought it with me to my new house. The hose is very light and works well, however, as others have said, it can and does kink.Pros:- The hose is extremely light, this makes it much easier to maneuver around your cars when washing them- So far, the hose has been durable and I have been using this same hose for a couple of years now. (granted that I don't wash my cars every day or even every week)- It is also a very good value for the money.Cons:- As others have said, the hose can and does kink. Maybe not as much as some of the older hoses I have used, but still, not "never" kink.Conclusion:This hose is good, and I do like it enough to say that as long as it doesn't spring a leak, I will probably not replace it. However, if it were to ever need replacing, perhaps I would shop around to give something else a try.

This was a good buy. I don't like it when people handle my hose and it kinks. I like my hose to be stretched to the limit, bent, pulled, and jerked this way and that without incurring any damage or denting.With this, you can let anyone yank on your hose and wrap it around their hands or arms. Your hose won't crack or kink.And when it's turned on, the water just gushes freely. No obstructions, unless--god forbid--you get stones in there. Then you'll have to seek the help of a professional. Or just chop your hose off at the rocks.If you are looking to really spray far and wide with your hose, this is the one to buy. 50 ft long! You can pull your hose to its fullest length, run in circles with it in your hand, or just toss it around. It will not kink or leak.Also, ladies, this one is light weight. So don't shy away from the hose. It's perfect for gardening and gutter cleaning.Great hose!

My builder put the outdoor water outlet in the garage, right next to drywall. What were they thinking? When my 15-year-old cheap green lightweight hose started leaking from the female fitting, it had to be replaced.This hose is what I wanted. A green light-weight 50-foot hose that doesn't leak. On the advice of another reviewer, I also purchased the red rubber washers listed as an accessory on the Amazon page. I don't know whether the original washer would have leaked, but it was a cheap plastic washer and I replaced it before installation. The new hose doesn't leak. Water flow is about the same. The nylon reinforcing is fine. I didn't measure the length with a tape, but it's about the same length as the old 50 foot hose. Here's hoping it will be good for the next 15 years.There were no kinks. A kink is when the inside of the hose collapses, blocking or substantially blocking the water flow. It's how I turned the water off on my Dad's hose when I was a kid. (But not when he was around.) There were a couple of mild indentations where the straps pressed against the hose. But these certainly didn't block water flow and they'll go away on the first warm day. Get a life,folks. It's a light weight hose!It arrived a day early.

Is a hose and it works! I was pretty lackluster about the purchase because a hose is a hose and it's not something that matters a lot to me. Our old one was really old though so we needed to replace it. This one hasn't kinked, rolls up really easily, and is really light. It seems shorter than our old one but maybe I was mistaken and our old one was 75ft and not 50, don't know. I'd imagine the 50ft is accurate and the fault is with me.We haven't been through freezing with it yet but it seems well made.No complaints!
