This is the worst hose I have ever had.  It continually kinks. I will get a kink and I walk back and get the kink out.  I'll move to another area a few feet away to water  and it kinks again in another spot on the hose.  I have noticed that where it kinks, the hose is now showing abrasions.  It will  only be a matter of time that it will start to leak.  The hose isn't even a year old.  There is a life time warranty saying the manufacturer will replace the hose free of charge.  I do not know why I would want another one just like this one.  I would rather spend the extra money and get another hose that does not kink, if they even exist.
