Waited a while to write this review to make sure it held up to our use and did not start adding odd flavors to water over time. Still looks new and adds no off flavors to our water at all. We had a cheaper white hose that added a lot of off flavors and was not safe to drink in my opinion.

We dont use hoses for our drinking water while camping at RV parks, just for showering and dish washing. We use bottled water (from from home water system) for drinking so I cant comment about water flavor from this hose. The construction seems to be good but we only use them for a 2 week duration maybe 8 times a year. I do NOT recommend the use of these hoses if you need to store them in your RV if you are disconnecting when the temperature is below about 45F (7C). Recently, I tried to roll up this hose for storage in my RV when the temp was 38F (3.3C). With difficulty I was able to bend the hose without any apparent damage but it insisted on returning to straight. I gave up after 10 min and hung the hose unrolled on my roof ladder with just one bend secured with bungy cords. Later on the road after the temperature increased, I was able to roll it up and store it properly. Next time I will be using an electrically heated hose even if the the low temperature doesnt go below freezing.

Seems to be of good quality.

Did not add a taste or odor, and the the water flows. Success.

I have only used this a couple of times but it has worked great so far. I recommend having another length in case you need a longer run and an orange one to use to clean out the sewer lines and accessories as you would not want to use your fresh water hose for that and it would be easy to identify.

Had this since December. Its started swelling and looks terrible. Its installed after a 40psi regulator, so its not pressure, and its never been frozen or over 85f.

For about a year, I have been carrying two 50-foot hoses and one 10-foot hose in my motorhome for connecting to campground water supplies. I often found that the 10-foot hose would be too short, yet one of my 50-foot hoses would be much too long. I needed a good in-between length potable water hose that would coil easily but did not kink. This one fits my needs perfectly. My experience has shown that most campgrounds have the water outlet within 25-feet of the water connector on my coach, therefore this hose length is the one that I now use most often. The coiled metal strain reliefs at each end of the hose prevent the hose from pinching at the fittings. Compared with my other drinking water hoses, this one is made of thicker material, making it nearly impossible to kink accidentally. The thickness also causes the hose to resist being uncoiled when Im trying to straighten it in cold weather. Nonetheless, it easily coils back into a neat bundle for easy storage. Even when I dont use a water filter, this hose does not adversely affect the taste of the water that flows through it.

Why was asked for its flavor? We it taste like a water hose. Please dont ask how I know what a hose taste like. Used to be in prison!

Very thick, as stated. A good thing I am sure, but also very stiff. The end connections were tight with no leakage, but very difficult to connect/disconnect. We had to use pliers, and it took a great amount of time to connect and disconnect from water source. I am sure it will get broken in, but my husband named it (and I cant type in that name!) :0. I am thinking coconut oil might help around the metal fitting lip, away from water flow. Anyone e else have this issue? Did it improve with use?

This house is not anti kink or even kink resistant as advertised. As a matter of fact it is worse than its cheaper white one of the same brand. I did not return it as I need more that one hose a some parks we go to. To sume it up, buy the cheaper white hose and save some bucks.
