Query: I Made A Poor Choice

I am the owner and frequent user of four rubber hoses, this one being the fourth.As you can see, it is quite expensive, but I am more than willing to pay extra for a high quality product. This hose may be great for use in some situations; but, as a garden hose, it is definitely sub-par. I have never had a hose so heavy, so difficult to handle, and so susceptible to kinking as this one.I have other Gilmour products that are first-rate, but I would not recommend this hose to anyone.In retrospect, if you're in the market for a rubber hose, find a friend (or visit one of your local nurseries) who has a truly functional hose, and then purchase precisely that hose. Don't take a chance on one you have never seen in action ... and certainly not one at the price of this hose.Oh yes, not that it mattered, but the hose was poorly packaged, and, by the time it arrived (six weeks after it was ordered), the box was banged up and open.
