While shopping at the local Walmart for a new garden hose, there were 2 options. One was $16, and this one was almost $40. I wrongly assumed that a higher price hose would last a long time, so I bought it.

The old hose was one I bought at Walmart for about $10, and it lasted several years and worked good until it started collapsing inside.

I took this hose home, removed it from the wrap, and started to use it. I immediately noticed the hose kinked very easily and needed manual straightening. I could have put up with that, but the hose connection uses an o-ring instead of a flat rubber seal. No matter how much you tighten, it still leaks.

I contacted the company, explained the problem and they required photos of the connectors, and the receipt. I did not keep the receipt, but did take the photos attached showing the ends are not damaged. Submitted it, but never heard from the company again.

I would rather have one of those cheap hoses as the seal, and when you throw the hose out it doesn't kink. To keep it from kinking, you have to attach the hose and walk it to full length, or walk it out, then attach.
