Best hose?

Having just spent yet another evening wrestling with and swearing at my tangling, kinking hose, I’m looking for recommendations for hoses that just roll and unroll easily. I really don’t mind spending money if it removes this nightly stress!

No idea but blatantly following in the hope someone can tell us!

Gardena roll-up, expensive but fab quality and rolls back up automatically. It's a game changer.
I hated all my previous hoses, love this one.

Hozelock is the one everyone has

Not everyone.

Thanks everyone. Our current one is Hozelock and is, ironically, described as anti-kink. Will investigate your suggestions.

Gardena Aquaroll Easy Hose Trolley.
The commonly available ones are 30m but I am fairly certain ours is 50m.
Bought from Costco (cheapest supplier), it is an excellent hose and far superior to the Hozlock it replaced.

I had always had hozelock previously, the last one was particularly terrible despite being near the top of the range, kinked if you looked at it!.

I am converted to Gardena now, the difference in quality is astounding.
You need to shop around, I got mine last year from powertoolmate they had good offers on, best price I could find.

DH keeps telling me how expensive our current one was! But yes, kinks if you look at it is an excellent description!

Honestly, the one I posted up thread is brilliant and not expensive. I wasted so much money on those extendable ones and all of them burst. This one’s been perfect. Sometimes we have to accept an expensive product isn’t serving our requirements.
