Update on the Flextreme hose from Costco
I took it back the first day I used it. What an awful hose. Wouldn't uncoil no matter how long it was in the sun. Impossible to wind up. And for a kink proof hose, it had 2 kinks in it. I bought another Aqua Joe hose and also will repair my 30 year old rubber hoses into one.

Adam, most of the Australian market hoses tell you to run water through them, close the nozzle at the end so that it stays full and then lay them out flat in the sun for a few days. The hose in the sun should be hot enough to work out the kinks. If it doesnt, its just a poor quality hose.

Can also try connecting to the hot water faucet where your washing machine connects and run some hot water through the hose. Then while leaving the water in the hose, lay it all out flat somewhere and let it cool but not under pressure.
Several years ago I bought a Teknor Apex Neverkink Max hose at Lowes. I hated it - it had a mind of its own! I got tired of wrestling with it, so gave it to the historical society yard sale.
