I use this hose for general purpose stuff around my house. I became aware of Legacy / Flexzilla products when I was recommended to buy one of their air hoses for roofing. After being impressed with the performance of that hose and being frustrated with my kinky, non-coil-able current hose I decided to upgrade to this. Like the air hose the water hose performed the same. Its light, its strong, its easy to coil. Yeah, it will kink of course if there are loops in the hose. If it does kink, however, it will not be a permanent crease in the material and it won't have a "memory" of that kink occurring. When hose (and rope) products are made they are coiled at the factory and stored that way for a while. Because of this the side of the hose around the outer edges becomes slightly stretched (its a larger radius on the outside than the inside / more distance to cover). This means that when you recoil this kind of product (not exclusive to Legacy) you need to coil to that natural state and it will be obvious when you begin to coil as it will naturally want to go a certain way. Work with it, not against it. You need to turn the hose (or rope, or whatever) as you are coiling it as well. Practice, you'll figure it out as the hose will guide you on how it wants to lay. I went into depth on that because I think that might be a cause for some of the negative reviews but its really a user problem and not the hose. I've only used it for a few weeks but I'm pleased with its flexibility, durability and just general overall impression. Zero regrets - it was worth every penny. My neighbor has commented on it as well.
