I was having a hard time finding really heavy duty garden hoses. These are well made and come in pretty colors. I feel confident that they will last. They do get a bit kinked, but kinks come out easily enough. They are not lightweight, but that is what I wanted.

Watering the garden.

I do like this hose. It's sturdy and is well made. However, it does still kink. Apparently there's no getting a perfect hose.

It kinks far less easily that other hoses, seems impervious to damage. It's expensive but I don't use other hoses anymore.

This hose has stood up to the Arizona sun and is as good as the day I bought it in 2020. It is hard to kink it and it has withstood hand truck running over it. I'd love to buy another one for the other side of my yard but the price went up from $52.00 to $89.00!

I am a relatively new homeowner, having purchased my first and likely last home in December of 2020. The home's yard had been neglected; it was overgrown, scrubby and filled with stones; in short, it was nasty and I hated it. But as with all or most new homeowners, money was tight. It took me more than two years to begin to deal with it. And when I did I realized I needed a hose.A neighbor gave me a vinyl hose. One use of that and I realized it was horrible. It refused to cooperate and it insisted on kinking itself every few feet. It took me more than an hour to do what I should have been able to do in ten minutes. So I dumped that and went looking for a rubber hose. I remember, perhaps from childhood, a rubber hose was quite soft, though sturdy, so it didn't have the "spine" (so to speak) to kink. When I bought this that is what I thought I was getting and so the cost didn't bother me. I was willing to pay what it took to get the hose I wanted.Alas. The hose arrived beautifully packaged in a box I knew I'd never be able to get it back into once it came out. But out it came. I was so excited but as I extracted it I noticed that it seemed to have a hard feel. I checked the box twice again to be sure it was rubber as it seemed too stiff and hard for that--or for my now-obviously mistaken memory.Nevertheless, I figured I was wrong so I hooked it up and tried to unravel it. The coil was so tight it was not particularly cooperative and worst of all, it kinked. Badly. Not as badly as the vinyl hose but badly. I Drag. Unroll. De-kink. Drag. Unroll. De-kink. Need I add it was a hot day and I was beginning to feel not just frustrated but miserable.I did get everything watered (and had to drag it over to another faucet to reach the plants further out) and the kinks continued. So did my repeated trips to un-kink them.When I finally finished I had an awful time trying to get this hose to curl into a circle for storage. I mostly did but the firmness of the hose fought me every step of the way. So this hose is now stored in the shed and to be honest I don't know what I am going to do with it. It has ruined my idea of rubber hoses being the best. Maybe I can sell it for half of what I paid for it. I think that is what I am going to try to do. (And then continue to use my new metal hose--which IS excellent and what a hose should be.

Third Dramm hose of this type for us to purchase (repeat buyer). Nice to see that they have extended the length options for this hose. Very durable material, doesn't kink easily, and the nickel plated couplings are high quality. Like the color options - and the sprayer colors can match the hose if that matters. Much more reliable and better made than other garden hoses.

Nice hose. Pretty lightweight. No more leaks where you attach the nozzle/ sprinkler! It rarely kinks. I bought the 50’ hose and move it around a lot at the end of about 200’ of hose. It has kinked once on me so far (have had it for about a month) which is amaaazing ..saves me lots of time as I was constantly unkinking my old hoses before (I have about a 1/2 acre area to water, going through paths and flowers so it is kind of tricky but this hose is pretty awesome!)

Looks great in blue. It's slightly heavy compared with other hoses I have owned, but you get used to it. After 1 1/2 years of watering, car washing and pressure washing, (and leaving it outside in freezing temperatures), it has never leaked, even at the hose bib connections - which is where most hoses fail to seal properly. Has some 'coiling memory', but this is quite forgiving and far easier to deal with than with cheaper hoses. I have returned or thrown out more failed hoses than I can remember. This one is a keeper.

As far as hoses go, this hose is very nice.High quality brass-type fittings.Very flexible and strong green rubber.Doesn't like to kink up like a cheap hose.Have only had it for about a year but I bought 3 of them and they have all been good with heavy use.Recommended.Not cheap though.

This is a good hose.Good weight, rolls up nicely on the hose reel, and doesn’t kink or get squished flat.No leaks at the connecting ends either.

Bought it for an “in shop” hose. I find this hose to be as stiff as much cheaper, less expensive hoses. I find it kinks as much as less quality hoses too. Overall, I feel I paid more, but didn’t get a higher quality hose. Will probably replace it with something else in the near future.
