Good gardenhose

Bangkok starts with ...
Since 2 years i have an untangable gardenhose and i'm quite happy with it.
It is a Gardena flex hose but it still was not 100% perfect.

Now i noticed they even sell higher grades with powergrip system so the connectors will never come off.

I bought one of those "highflex" hoses and wonder if anybody here has experience with them?

I also have some quality brand from the USA (imported to Thailand) but they were broken within a year.

Untangling a gardenhose is a nasty job in the heat, are those kind of hoses also availlable in Oz? I would never go back to a normal hose and fight with it every day.

Mark yours looks almost the same. 20-25 years warranty sounds great as well.

I will keep my receipt all those years. I bet mine is broken sooner but we'll see.

But i wonder how they can last so long in full sun. This must be a very special material because Thai sun will kill any plastic/rubber. I had big black nurserypots who became totally crispy and couldn't be lifted anymore.

I hope that with the new hose i won't be too lazy to roll it up after use.

Bangkok says...
I don't have experience with the Gardena warranty but i expect them to change the product without questions. I bought it in Holland and expect it can stand thai sun (i bet it can't for 25 years).

But brands like this are known for their quality and service so we'll see.

Actually i like ARS brand from Japan but they don't sell hoses.

I bought a lot of american quality products in a Truevalue shop. It had 10 years warranty but all is broken allready or missing parts. That happened within 2 years.

Also i have 1 american untangle superhose which really can't tangle but it's so fat and hard that i can't walk around with it, i have to guide it like a fireman all the time. That one was very expensive but is more for high pressure washers.
