Tools and Hardware Reviews of Apex 8605-100 NeverKink 2000 5/8-Inch-by-100-Foot Heavy Duty Ultra Flexible Hose
Customer Review: Very Good but buy a Gilmour Flexogen Instead
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had three of these hoses and had good experiences with two of them and the other one was my fault(don't hang a hose on anything that doesn't give it even support like a board or spike.) It is not kink free but is much, much more kink resistant than a normal hose. Once you use a hose like this you will never go back to a regular hose. That being said, once you use a Gilmour FlexogenGilmour 10-58100 8-ply Flexogen Hose 5/8-Inch-by-100-Foot, Green you will never go back to this hose. The Flexogen is more durable and almost completely kink free. Why settle for very good when you can pay a little more for excellence?Customer Review: 3 stars for durability, minus 2 stars for kinking & weight
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this hose over a year ago. It began kinking last year but we use it for watering the garden at the front of the house so we were moving it constantly. One problem was that it is a heavy hose and crushed the plants we had to move it over. Before we had the curly hose that was lightweight but didn't last. This hose is still here but the kinks are most annoying. However, we left it outside all winter (although the spigot had a water supply the water was not turned on and we did drain the hose at last use). For the company to put NeverKink in the title is bogus since we are proof that this hose does kink.Customer Review: Not too bad
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the better hoses I used thru the years. It does kink occasionally, but much less than others I've tried (that's why I gave it a 4, not a 5.) It seems to me that there is no such thing as a hose that never kinks - but if it only kinks 2-3 times each time it's used rather than several times each time it's used - that's about as good as you can expect in this price range. I've also found what helps eliminate kinks is if the hose is stored on a hose reel after each use - this made a dramatic difference in the less expensive hose I had to use this past summer.Customer Review: Apex NeverKink 2000 5/8-Inch-by-100-Foot Heavy Duty Ultra Flexible Hose #8605-100
Summary: 2 Stars
I am sorry to say that this item kinks up more than a rattlesnake trying to get away from a coyote. After many years of using premium, life-time guaranteed rubber hoses from a huge retail company, I decided that I was tired of the black marks that were left on my concrete and bricks. I was aldo tired of the hoses kinking - no matter how I used them. Walla, I saw this and decided to try it. It does not leave black marks. That is good. Howver, it is very stiff and it kinks every bit as much as my premium rubber hoses. I do not recommend this item.Customer Review: Never say NEVER
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had this hose about 2 months and it kinks! One kink is so bad that the water barely comes out. Sort of like when you fold the hose to temporarily stop it...except mine is permanent. I have tried everything to straighten it out...No luck.
And this hose is barely used because I have auto sprinklers. Just use it to wash down the patio every now and then.
Like someone else said, if it was not such a hassle, I would return it. Not much of a guarantee in that case. Cannot recommend this product.
