Never had a problem with them

Even an expensive hoselock will kink if it's not laid out right

Failrly sure the starter set is more to do with the accessories included rather than hose quality

I had assumed that's what 'starter' meant as well, it doesn't though, its the crappy hose itself, you can get a 'starter' with varying accessories. http://www.hozelock.com/watering/hoses.html

I've used hoses at home and at Nans without these constant kinks. You can't lay this down at all without it kinking let alone move it.

What about those "magic' hosepipes i've seen where they just shrink when not in use and expand when in use. Cant remember what they're called but most likely it's JML related, what isn't?? Lol

Not sure I've seen those? I used to have a 'spring' style one but that's no where near long enough for use here.

All the same IMHO. Don't believe the hype.
Any hose on a reel will need fully unwinding before use. The in feed kinks as soon as you turn the handle.
Hozelock are generally regarded as half decent/decent anyway.

Not in my experience, Nans hose is on a reel and I don't think it's ever been fully unwound lol. Has had a lot of use as well for watering the garden for several years. Only issue with it now is leaks from the attachments, hose itself is still perfect, I don't know what level of quality it is though.

Hey Tom


I bought this one from john lewis and its good .

Hmm, it doesn't say which hose comes with that, I'm guessing it was a better quality one though!

Also lol at the review on there, how hard can it be to put together!
