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 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.

Don't buy this. I purchased it in October, used a handful of times in the fall, and just used twice this week (the following spring). As I turned the spigot on to wash my car, the hose snapped where the rubber meets the hardware. This hose is terrible -- see my picture. This was basic, light duty use. I had it away during the winter. It appears not to kink, but who cares?! I basically rented a hose for half a season. Very, very disappointing.

This hose is just okay. It is very light-weight, which is important to some people. However, contrary to the name, it does kink. That being said, the kinks don't ruin the hose or impair its function (once you physically remove the kink).

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.

NeverKink? More like NeverUntangles! The stiffness of this hose DOES prevent it from kinking as often as other hoses but it also means it never quite gets straight, either.And as for "never kink" well it KINKED today!

This is the best hose that I have ever used! It is so light and of course does not kink. I have purchased other non-kinking hoses and they do not even match up to this one. The lighter hoe makes everything easier like hosing down the driveway, yard, and shrubs. It makes water the flowers and even washing the dogs easier because it is light and easier to manipulate than the regular weight hose. I loved it so much I ordered 2!
