Happy. [Posted on 2007-11-13]
Durable. Quite thick and heavy duty. Only one complaint. The threading on the end that connects to your water source is so fine that it is quite difficult to get it on right. It took me 3 tries to keep the water from spraying out of the end where it was screwed in. It was quite funny too see, but also very irritating. Nice product, though.

low quality rubber hose. [Posted on 2008-05-07]
For those shopping hoses, it's my opinion that a real rubber hose is far superior to any vynal based hose, regardless of how much advertising the vynal brands splash on their packages - non-kink, etc.

So when my ten year old se ars brand hose got cut by a plow this winter (yes, I leave the hose outside, Buffalo NY frozen, not drained, and aside from the plow cut, it looks like NEW) I knew I would replace it with rubber.

However, this Gilmour brand really dissapointed - I will return. Its rubber thinkness and quality is low. The connectors at end remind me of old pop bottle screwtops - It's clear this Gilmour company went with the absolute cheapest option available with ever choice they took.

So, I went to se ars. Got a 100 ft length for less than forty bucks: Plated Brass connectors that you can drive a truck over, substantial rubber stock that doesn't telegraph the fablic weave like the gilmour did. This is a case where that classic retailer is still carrying the best.
