I just wanted to tell you, I genuinely appreciate the posts on your web site. However I am viewing it with my Firefox Browser and the presentation doesn’t seem to be quite right. It’s not a huge problem as I’m still able see and read the articles but just thought I would inform you about that. outstanding Thanks.

Overall, I’m satisfied with the hose, but I think it kinks too easily
when I drag it around my garden. I would have thought that anything
named “Platinum” would be the top of the line and be more kink resistant.

Normally, I don’t get too worked up over a garden hose – but this one is the best I have ever used. After going through about 4 supposedly “kink free” Costco and Home Depot specials – I finally broke down and bought this hose. No more kinky action – and this time that is a good thing. Just a strong, reliable hose. It is very sturdy, rolls up easily and – so far – has not kinked. It is pricey, but not as pricey as replacing a lousy hose every 8-12 months. Costco now carries a “six ply” hose – but this one is 8 ply and feels more substantial.

This hose has solid connections and is very substantial without being too heavy. It has kinked, but rarely. It is flexible, but not as much as I would like; it holds its shape somewhat, making hanging it up a bit of a methodical process. I suppose a reel would eliminate this problem. Overall, I am happy with it.

Doesn’t tangle. Made my wife much more happy with our back yard.

This thick, heavy hose won’t kink and tangle on you. Silver/grey color might not fit all tastes but if you want a hose that doesn’t kink every time you move it this is the one!

I have a pretty small house and yard. I use this for cleaning off my car, washing my bike and various other things and filling up things with water. . typical hose uses. I don’t garden. 50′ is good for me as I can reach anywhere in my yard with it.

It does not kink. The attachment to the faucet is very easy to use, big and turns quite nicely. My only complaint is that it is plastic. . it feels sturdy, but I’d guess if anything ever dies on it, this part will be the first.

I’ve used lots of other hoses before and this is by far my favorite one.
