100519523 Neverkink 8615-130, Heavy Duty Hose Reel Garden Hose, 5/8-Inch by 130-Feet

I've found this hose to be the best on the market and I've tried many. It doesn't kink, but bends a bit at times, which is easy to fix. It also lasts a long time. Highly recommend.

It should be illegal to name a water hose Neverkink. If it never kinked it would be called a water pipe instead. All water hoses kink at some time. Now that is out of the way, I'll say this is one of the best on the market as it is well built. No regrets for paying the high price. The 3/4" makes a huge difference if you have good water pressure. Don't know how it will last but very happy at the time.

We have been using a hose to fill up our spa a few times a year... and our hose kept breaking up since we had to go through the house... so we decided to give this one a try... and it is absolutely fantastic! Of course if you try to force it you might be able to break or "kink" it... but you would have to try pretty hard... it is really heavy duty and super high quality... really one of my best buys of the year! :P

The product itself is good, but it ended up not working out as well for me as I thought. I'm still giving it 5 stars, as it was my lack of forethought that's causing my issue, but I wanted to mention it here for anyone who may be wondering about the same issues.1. The black plastic piece on the end is specifically for the end that goes either to the spigot or to the connector on the reel you probably own. That piece is obviously very stiff, and will cause considerable annoyance on either a spigot close to the ground, or pretty much any type of reel that has the connector built into it (and extends to the spigot). I would recommend only using it if the spigot is a couple of feet off the ground, or if you intend to use this on a rig of some sort. I likely will be looking for a hose without that plastic piece next time.2. Unless you're intending to use this in an extremely mobile situation, 25ft is too short. WAY too short. In my case, I figured I'd only be using 10-15 ft to spray down the front of the house and the car, but I've come to realize that 10ft of slack is just not enough. Not only that, but due to the fact that my reel could easily handle 3-4 times that amount of hose, it just looks ridiculous in my yard. I'll be purchasing at least a 75 ft hose next time.

Good quality hose. Stays flexible. Nicely priced.
