Extremely flimsy and the fittings are such thin gage they will neither nmantain shape or seal.

I bought some big heavy black hoses somewhere 20 years ago. Never drain them in the winter and I’m still using them. You get what you pay for.

Buy the commercial grades and never get one less than 75 ft ,a 25 ft is the most useless one ever

I bought a 100' one for about $75 15 years ago from Lowes. LIFETIME guarantee. I have taken it back at least 4 times for a replacement.... great investment.

I have a USA made “Swan” brand hose that has less memory and kinks less than any other hose that I’ve owned. I couldn’t tell ya how old it is. I found it on the side of the road with a cardboard sign that said free so I took it.😂 I have no idea why the previous owner didn’t want it.

Sams used to have some good ones.
Made in USA.
The current ones are still made in USA, but are stiff as a skillet handle…

Lowes carries a Zero-G hose. It's flexible and warranted. I've had a couple for a few years now with no issues. I had another hose I thought was a Zero-G that sprung a leak. I called Zero g and talked to them. They told me to cut the end off the hose and they'd send me another to replace it. I had made a mistake their hoss were fine.

Bb Yes, and they're 100'ers. If you need 50's, buy a pair of ends and cut them down. I've had good luck with them.
