I'm a new home owner and I bought a cheap 50' hose to spray weed killer on the lawn. A hose is a hose, so why waste money? I learned quickly what misery a bad hose is. It was kinking in a dozen places before I even unwound it the first time. It was stiff, awkward, hard to move around, constantly kinking. I spent more time troubleshooting the line of hose than using it.
