Royal Horticultural Society RHS Everflow Garden Hose - 13mm x 25m

I was initially looking for a hose made in the UK, which is how I stumbled upon this one. This hose lists the specifications regarding working temperature, pressure and these figures along with the warranty beat almost every other I have seen. It is also cheaper than many. Made in the United Kingdom. Ten year warranty, thirty years if you register it!I have the twenty five metre version and it works just as you would expect. The "everflow" feature is an ingenious moulded part inside which stops the hose from getting blocked off if kinked. It works. I have tied mine in knots to check this. However, it has limits. So if you leave the entire hose lying like a birds nest you can still get a drop off in pressure of course. It will still flow however. Also comes in a fifty metre version.Overall this hose is great value and quality. Highly recommended.

Eventually got the hose working hose still leaking at the connectors had to cut the everflow core to fit the connectors

This product was by some distance the worst garden hose I have ever purchased. Assuming I was unlucky I contacted the manufacturers of the hose and they came to my home with a replacement hose but were unable to stop it leaking when connecting up to their own end pieces which come with the product. I give them only one star by virtue of their MD. coming to see me at a later date to replace with another hose that had been fully tested at the factory. To his amazement this was also faulty!! Needless to say I have now resorted to another well known make which is not only cheaper but more importantly trouble free. As for Everflow it would be more appropriate if renamed as Neverflow as after time it kinks and prevents water flow which is not really the plan.PS Herts.

Hose is light and performs as described. However, it is difficult to remove the core in order to fit it to a standard Hozelock/Gardena 1/2" connector.Mine leaked at both ends until I glued the hose in place. When removing the ant- kink device, a little ridge of plastic is left which hinders the seal with the connector.

Good quality hose! Much better than the extendable ones especially if your water pressure isn't that great. 30 years warranty if you register, 10 years if you don't!

Reduces flow rate by about 30% compared to a conventional hose. Not suitable if your mains pressure is not good.

THE GARDEN HOSE DOES NOT KINK AND IT IS THE FIRST ONE I HAVE HAD THAT DOES NOT .VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.

The internal anti-kink structure may or may not prevent kinks – I never got to test that, because the same structure makes fitting connectors virtually impossible. You can try cutting out some of the innards, but it's a leaky bodge at best. Also, the hose is unusually heavy and, I assume, reduces water flow significantly. Again, I don't know. What was the RHS thinking?
