Stanley Garden BDS7325A FatMax Garden Hose, Black

My husband and I have owned many, many lousy water hoses in our 25 years of marriage. Our experience with hoses has been nothing short of frustrating UNTIL we found Stanley FATMAX! I can't believe I am writing such a glowing report about a water hose but I am a gardener and this is an important tool. It is flexible, durable, doesn't kink and rolls up easily in our hose box. There is a reinforced handle on each end of the hose that keeps it from breaking down and bending so it threads easily. AND it has a lifetime guarantee! I love that this hose; Worth every penny. We now own 2 of these; one in the front yard and one in the back. Our first FAT MAX hose was purchased over two years ago and is still in great shape.UPDATE: The threaded part of the hose that attaches to a spray nozzle blew off. Tried to exercise the lifetime guarantee and discovered it is non existent. Just want to update my review that the company contracted to handle the guarantee is NON RESPONSIVE. Do not buy this hose based on this guarantee. It is just a hose with the same flaws. Disappointed that Stanley would use this tactic to sell their hoses.

The hose is heavy and still kinks but not as bad as other plastic hoses I have owned.Was given a flex hose at Christmas that was very light and folded nicely that I really liked but the material was not durable if you have a mouse in your yard you did not know about who ate through the material to get at the water. The material is not mendable. Used a hose mender and the material just unraveled. So between the Staley hose that is durable but heavy and the flex hose that is light but eatable, not a lot of wiggle room

This is the best hose I have ever purchased. It’s very pliable when it kinks the water still comes out. This is actually the third one I’ve purchased they still stay pliable during the winter. Love these hoses more then all the other hoses I have had.

Had for just one year and the top where the threads attach blew apartWould not recommend

Can't believe how wonderful it is to have a hose that doesn't look for objects to WRAP&r KINK around. WELL, this is the hose you've been waiting for. DO NOT think about buying anything less than, FAT MAX!

I haven't had this long enough to rate its durability, but it appears to be well made. I wanted a hose that could withstand being driven over in my gravel driveway. I wasn't confident the light-weight collapsible hoses would stand up, so I went old-school.

If you want a good quality hose that will last, this is the one to get. In fact I loved it so much I bought another one for my front yard! Highly recommend!

I think the hose will burst every time I use it. I think I got a defective one.
