We were in Costco the other day, and DH found a hose he was sure I'd love. I hate nearly all hoses. They are evil, torture whips that kink, ruin my clothes, and don't know their "place." The ONLY reasons I agreed was that it was in Costco, the box promised a 5 yr guarantee, 100 ft., 5/8" diameter, lightweight, tough, kink-free, and $39.
I've been using it for about a month, and so far, I love it. I have a spot by the spigot that I can wind it up while there's still a little water in it. It doesn't shrink itself up like the four "green things" I threw away as they exploded.
