It says I bought this Dec 2018, it's now July 2022, had my first failure, so not all bad. I included a picture, the factory compression crimped end blew off with no notice while we were out. Came home to a river coming down the driveway and the yard flooded. But this is also a 4 year old hose that sees a lot of use, maybe I'm being nice.The other picture included just shows how the hose absorbs dirt and grease, the grease came from cleaning the bbq. The hose material is a soft rubber, it doesn't kink easily or often which is a big improvement over the junk from Depot. But it's ability to absorb or retain dirt is kind of unappealing.Overall I wanted this hose originally because it's rated for potable water which made sense over using a plastic or chemical leaching material to provide water for the kids and dogs. But honestly we all grew up drinking hose water out of any old hose and we did fine, so does it really matter, I don't know.Good hose, mostly durable, easy to use, rated for potable water, stays pliable and doesn't kink easily.
