They don't have that problematic coiling and stiffness. This is the second one; the first one i got is no longer available through amazon, or i'd also give that one a glowing review, too.

Great hose. I like the way it expands and contracts. Came with an adjustable spray nozzle and large plastic hook shaped piece to mount on whatever and hang hose on.

Great concept but no longevity. Longevity = 0. Until it doesn’t. This hose truly lasts less than a year. Barely lasted three months.

Over time (about 8-12 mos), exposed to sunlight, this product breaks down and disintegrates. Would never recommend.

Leaks at both ends. Water coming from the inside of the protective cover. It only covers the nozzle. Usually they break (start gushing water from the hose) near the spigot.
