AG-LITE BSALONE25 1" x 25' Hot/Cold Water Rubber Garden Hose, 100% Rubber, Ultra-Light, Super Strong, 500 PSI, 50F to 190F Degrees, High Strength Polyester Braided, 2x Water Flow

Pretty useless as the flow-rate is drastically reduced by the fittings on each end being 5/8" internal diameter. I will buy a true 3/4" ID hose from the local big-box as this is not worth the effort to return. I have to stop trusting these 3rd Party vendors., what a waste of my time.Amazon you really should enforce the Title matching what we actually get.

The other reviews leave me a bit baffled on this one. Everything about this hose is nice. It's a very high quality hose, the only verdict for me is if it is better than the heavy commercial continental/michelin hoses which typically cost 2 - 3 times as much. And for comparison, I have a similar, blue even, 100ft continental rubber hose that's been sitting in contact with the ground for my garden bed in the back of my 1 acre property. It's been working perfectly for about 5 years now with no protection from the sun or anything, so that's basically my bar for a really nice hose.Make sure you unroll this and don't just pull hose from the loops upon opening, this way there are no twists in it and kinking should be minimal. Mine layed out almost completely flat with no memory, nothing even close to a kink even without water. Fittings are stainless steel, and not aluminum or some crap fake-brass metal like many cheap hoses come with. It is definitely lighter than what one might expect for a 3/4 rubber hose but the material feels really durable. I'll update my review if this doesn't last, either the hose or the fittings, but this is one of the better hoses I've come across for the price.

The fittings on this brand of hose feels cheap and not well made. The rubber is definately flexible like they state but at the cost of easily kinking when you mover around with the hose. The original one I bought the fitting at least worked and I am only using it as a whip hose to my pressure washer so I don't have to worry about kinking at least.I had also ordered three of their 1inch hose with GHT fittings and all three had poorly made fitting that would not screw onto a hose bib. I ended up returning those the same day and waited 2 weeks for my refund which never happened so I had to call Amazon customer service to push through my refund.

I ordered this 3/4 inch hose. Plumbers refer to a hose or valve that is "Full Port" is one that the openings (end connectors) that the fluid flows through are the same inside diameter as the tube, or in this case, hose. Because the opening connectors on this hose are only 1/2 inch, you are restricting this 3/4 inch diameter hose to the equivalent of a 1/2 inch diameter 2hose. I have a smaller very durable 5/8 inch hose I ordered from Amazon that is full port, and fills up my five gallon bucket faster than this more expensive larger heaver 3/4 inch hose. I do not understand how people gave this hose a high rating not being full port. My guess is most people do not have an understanding of the physics of fluids. This is a very restrictive cost saving design compared to full port hoses that retail near the same price. This hose appears to be better than average in durability, but it will take you approximately twice as long to get the same amount of water out. Also, the restrictive gallons per minute flow of this hose could burn up the pump on some pressure washers.

It's flexible in cold weather and is easy to flip straight after hanging looped from a hose bracket.Gave it 3 stars for durability because I have only had for a short time but it looks like it will last years.One thing I don't expect to do with it is retire it for being stiff, kinky and generally more of a pain than useful.I've had these hoses for a year now. I bought (2) 25 foot lengths because I'm turning 80 in a couple weeks and I'm not as strong as I used to be plus I put shut off valves between hoses so I can turn off or adjust the flow without getting wet.They are very flexible and do kink when taking the coiled hoses off a hanger but they unkind easily with a flip/twist from the end. I don't have to walk back to the faucet to undo the kinks like some of the others.The connectors are well made and better than most. I don't know what some of the other posters are talking about. I figure they are competing hose trolls trying to put down a better made brand.The other stuff plastic nylon braid reinforced hose that was a pain will be cut into 16" lengths and used around ropes to support young fruit trees. The ropes slide back and forth inside the hose pieces with high winds preventing the tree bark from wearing off.I use 3 posts 120 degrees apart for tree support. The ropes inside the hose pieces are tied to one post, loop around the tree to the second post. Then around the tree to the 3rd post, around the tree to the beginning tie point and tied again.There is no complete wrap around the tree at any point. From above the rope assembly looks like a 3 blade fan.That's what to do with cheap kinky hose.

Very poor quality connectors. One connector broke upon installation and connector at other end leaked very badly.

This hose arrived with a creepy film on it that sticks to your hands when you touch it so it will need washed before use when you get it. The most annoying thing about this hose is that it does not share the beneficial properties of a true rubber hose. For example, when you try to uncoil it, it fights you and kinks badly just like a crappy vinyl hose. The only similarity it shares with a true rubber hose is the look of rubber but it's something else. I MIGHT change my review after I've used it for awhile but so far, I'm not impressed.

The product fails at a fundamental level. I just bought two of these for my lawn. At first use, both units gushed water at the joint between the pipe part and the connector part of the hose. Can't even say it was an isolated issue when both pieces exhibited the identical behavior. It's irritating because one would think that a company selling garden hoses would ensure they didn't leak, at least on the first day! Just a crappy product imported from some low-cost country by a company that doesn't care about it's reputation for quality. Avoid - unless you like getting wet and frustrated.
