I've a great big landscaped yard.
I own nearly a quarter mile of hose of almost every description. I've gotten good service from almost every brand - but only consistently good service from two; Craftsman all rubber and Gilmore Flexogen. Ergo those two are all I buy anymore.
I'm obsessively intolerant of leaks anywhere.
The Flexogen hose is the lightest and easiest to handle hose I own. The Craftsman may be a tad more durable but being black gets a bit warm in the hot sun.
I'm sure I'm at least partly wrong but most of the complaints I've read here sound more like operator head space and timing problems than a problem with the hose. I've some over six years old and never had the need to test the guarantee.
To mitigate tangling problems with any hose I suggest using 50' lengths and LR Nelson's Brass Quick Connectors (I also gave 5 stars). Further I discourage tugging on a hose to get to that "last flowerbed." An extra section of hose is much cheaper than what the plumber is going to charge to replace broken hose bib pipes. I always leave a little loop of hose next to the bib and won't allow myself to pull hard enough to remove the loop.
If you place any hose on concrete and run over it sooner or later it will fail. I don't treat my stuff that way.
I just ordered two more Gilmore Flexogen hoses from Amazon to replace another brand that age has made a bit brittle. Good price free shipping. What's not to like?
