Costco: 100' "commercial" grade garden hose $19.99 (Ancaster)

[synaptech]

I am trying to transfer the images off of my phone, but anyone looking for a garden hose should check Costco. The Ancaster location has a 100' 5/8" commercial grade hose on for $19.99

This was actually $14.99 a few weeks back, when there was a $5 off coupon in the Summer Savings coupon book (June 16-22).

This is good quality garden hose, I bought one two three years ago. I believe they only have this $5 discount once a year.

[Ctrl-Z]

Despite the "kink resistant" or some such nonsense on the package, I found this hose to be very prone to kinking - much worse than my other hoses. I regret buying it but too lazy to return it...

It says "soft and flexible" but is it really soft and flexible? I have purchased kink proof hose and found them too rigid to work with. I have always liked rubber hoses. So how good are these ones?

I have parked my car on it couple times over night and it did not break. My other hose bought from Canadiantire broke after car left on it by accident. The feel of it is soft, and is not too rigid to work with.

agree -- kinks too often. to lazy to return it..I'll live with the kinks

Bought this to replace a broken Gardena hose a while back...just went and bought another...great value/quality hose.

I found this thing to be a POS... we returned it... it kinked quite a bit. Plus, that big end to stop it from bending doesnt work well if you want to wrap it around a hose reel...

[cynick]

rats..
I thought I was just stupid managing to get my hose kinked.. alrighty..
I bought one last year, a greenish color one, it's in bad shape now,still works..

Just bought a new one with that coupon for 20-5=$15.. I'm keeping the receipt and packaging this time.. I am going to return it next year if it doesn't perform better.. I doubt it's any different.. I was that pissed at this hose that I was thinking to return the old one with the receipt of the new one, only if they were the same color.. Now I now why they change them every year.. Lifetime warranty... yeah, right

I bought this one and it sucks ... too hard and prone to kinking

[Arrow]

Bought it; it's terrible. About 10 kinks in it after 2 days of using it to water my lawn with some moving around. When I walked up to the return counter, I didn't even have to say anything and the CSR already knew, "kinking up, isn't it?"

She said they never used to be like this... that it's only this batch that seems to be so bad.

lol, cheap too good to be true and obviously not "commercial" grade

Yup. Even says "kink free" right on the package. Sure!

[trini_2_d_bone]

decent hose for the price, but it very hard to work with if you move a lot.
Ideal for adding multiple sprinklers to the lawn

[jerryhung]

bought one Friday from Kitchener Costco ($19.99)
used it last night for short distance (< 5m), and it has 2~3 kinks already

It is so not kink-free, but it seems to happen on every hose, so I don't know if I want to bother returning it because I need a hose

I agree this hose is much worse than the one Costco has carried other years (Lighter Green) This one Kinks like crazy.

[sumo500]
