3Good Hose But A disapointmentJun 21, 2007
By MikeC "MikeC"
The best hose I ever bought was an Apex hose. It is a light green, matte-colored, soft man-made material (sort of like rubber) that doesn't seem to be affected by being left outdoors for the last 5 years. I love it because it is extremely limp, but as limp as it is it doesn't kink or collapse. Yet it also has no memory, It is the easiest of any hose I have ever had to coil. When you lay the hose down even after being coiled for a year it has no memory of those coils and lays perfectly straight.

So when I bought this hose I was expecting more of the same. Unfortunately that is not the case. While it is a good hose it doesn't match the old hose in quality. The new hose is a shiny dark green hard plastic that is very stiff and difficult to coil. For example, if I hold the end of the old hose and start feeding it out of my hand, it will remain horizontal for only about 6 inches before it begins to bend down. The new hose can be extended for almost 2 feet before it begins to sag down. Thats a stiff hose! This is a very undesirable characteristic in a garden hose.

But it works as advertised. It will not kink from ordinary use though it will kink if you work with short lengths (<3 feet). Also it has a memory. So as it comes off the reel it remembers where it was coiled and there are all these loops in the hose as it lays on the ground.

Bottom-line: its not nearly as good as the older Apex hose but its still better than any of the hoses I bought at a hardware store. So I bought another. Too bad nobody makes a really good hose anymore.

P.S. If I didn't have the old Apex hose to compare it to, I too would have given it 5 stars.

5best hose I've ever hadJan 09, 2007
By B. Greenstone
It's very unusual to find a 130' hose, so that's a great plus right there, and the hose is extremely rugged and yes, it doesn't kink.

4Quality hose, but not quite never-kinkApr 01, 2012
By R. Pick
I ordered and received two of the Apex 5/8 inch NeverKink heavy duty hoses, both 130 feet long. They are, indeed, heavy, thick hoses. On a cool or cold day, that thickness can make for difficulty coiling and uncoiling the hose. If you plan to coil it onto a reel, be sure that the reel is heavy and well-built. I have no worries about this hose blowing under normal use. I am a little disappointed that the exterior coating (the dark green) feels more like plastic than the rubber on true commercial-quality heavy duty hoses, but that may be more aesthetic preference than anything substantive.

As for the NeverKink: on both hoses, with the way the end with the female connector was tucked in for packaging, an area about 5 inches into the hose was flattened from the get-go. Is this technically a "kink?" I think so as it restricted water flow. Once connected and pressurized, the flattened area has mostly reshaped itself, but I fear it will continue to be a weak point. Bummer since it is right at the point it connects to the adapter on the hose reel, which is a stress point.

All-in-all, a good hose at a good price, but perhaps not as kinkless as hoped.

1DO NOT PURCHASEJan 19, 2011
By Robert Greenfield "Beverly Hillbilly"
Definitely not a never kink hose. I purchased two of these and both have more permanent kinks than any hoses I have every used -- literally dozens of kinks per hose, creases which become permanent. They are even stored in closed reels.

Save your money and the headache of trying to water and constantly having to unkink this loser hose!

4Very good 130-foot hoseSep 02, 2011
By xstitch
I've owned this Apex 130-foot hose for three months now and am very satisfied with it. The quality is good and the 130-foot length is exactly what I needed.
