Worse than a normal hose – This has been a very disappointing purchase. I find that this hose kinks more than any 'normal' hose I have ever had and the kinks tend to embed themselves in the hose; making them more likely to quickly kink again. Show details
Absolutely rubbish connections – I finally brought a longer hose and waited a few months to afford something other than the cheapest hose with connectors at Bunnings. I chose this Nylex hose $25.98 that did not even come with a nozzle. I purchased this matching Nylex sprayer separately for $14.98 This hose continually blows the attachments off when in use, The worst combination… Read more
of hose attachments I’ve ever used.
The water pressure is average and the tap is turned on no less than half pressure. Very sad that I picked this hose and spray nozzle, I hope this product may have had faults and this is not typical of Nylex products.

Rip-off – There were 2 models which came out a blue version and a black version, blue had a an anit kinkrating of 9 and black had a rating of 10 both with a lifetime warranty. I bought the blue early 2019 6 months later it started to deteriorate, it went chalky and cracks everywhere. I returned that one and was advised that model was faulty but no recall, I… Read more
was also advised the black version was much better and the had a thick wall, 3 years later the hose has stiffened up and cracked. Since Nylex moved their manufacturing to China the quality has gone downhill. 25 years ago I bought a Nylex eclipse Blue best hose I had ever owned, made in Victoria Australia. What happened Nylex.

Worst Garden Hose Ever – Look at the photos attached, brand new 47 dollar hose & completely worthless. This company specialises in hoses & this is the very best they're capable of, seriously. I'll never buy another Nylex product. Expensive crap & very poor quality. Got a refund at Bunnings & purchased a Pope hose view new photo for the difference. Thank you Bunnings for your understanding & thank you Pope for selling a usable hose. Show details

Poor quality Hose – Bought a 30 meter Nylex heavyweight Hose from Bunnings, hose became stiff and brittle within about 18 months and prone to kinking, developed cross-sectional cracks and leaks which I attempted with limited success to repair with duct tape. The hose was meant to have a 20 year life, If I still had the receipt would return the product for a refund

Lasted two years – Worked OK for a year then became increasingly inflexible. After two years it was so stiff that it did not unroll properly and cracked in multiple places. See picture. My cheaper ALDI hose bought at the same time is still going strong. Show details
Do not buy a Nylex hose! – The hose connections break, the hose is so stiff it won’t lay out straight instead twisted. Won’t wind back in the reel and swells overfilling reel and leaking connections. Rubbish! Show details
Don't buy a Nylex hose – I bought a Nylex hose which wasn't supposed to kink. It started to kink almost straight away, And now it has holes in it. I will never ever buy any Nylex product again! Show details
Waste of money – For $100 it should be one of the best. It's not. It's hard, heavy, twists and is the most kink prone hose I've ever bought. Luckily I have the docket, so it's back to Bunnings for a refund. Give this hose a miss Show details
Over Priced And Kinks All The Time !! – I paid over $100 for this hose at Bunnings. It was the most expensive hose they had in stock - But I thought it was worth it if it does what it's name suggests - But It doesn't !! The hose is very hard and heavy. It's very difficult to coil up and hang. But the worst thing about this hose - Is that it kinks and gets twisted and tangled very… Read more
easily. I am so disappointed by it. If I still had my receipt I would return it.
In the past I have had other cheaper/medium priced garden hoses which perform much better than the Nylex NeverKink. They were far less likely to kink and get tangled.
To summarise - The Nylex NeverKink Garden Hose is misleadingly named. It does not perform as it's name suggests. In this case - Extra cost does not give you better quality or function.I would advise you avoid this hose and buy a less expensive garden hose.
Dissatisfied Nylex customer – . Bought one of their 30mtr Nylex never kink garden hoses approx 3 years ago from Bunnings with I think a10 or 12 year guarantee, with such a guarantee we didn't keep the sales docket, 10 years is a long time. After 3 years we now have kinks, splits and leaks through at least a 1/4 of the length of the hose. Will not buy another Nylex product and definitly not a garden hose again. Unhappy consumer.

Worst hose ever – Worst hose ever. Hard. Cracks. Swollen . Too hard to roll up. Cost $98 and not worth a cracker. Thought I was buying one to last better than cheaper ones. How wrong I was. Trish Show details

Nylex Garden Hose Blue/Black 12mm x 30m – I purchased this hose around 3 years ago when establishing a new lawn at our new home on 1/2 an acre. While I spent good money on it I found it deteriorated to a point that it leaked in several places. I bought it at Bunnings in Albany and they were very cooperative in giving me a credit even though I did not have my original receipt. These hoses… Read more
are normally guaranteed for a minimum of 8 years and upwards. I decided to use the credit to buy a 12mm x 35m Pope Pinnacle based on a Team Members experience. Pope offer a Lifetime Guarantee and it cost $109.00. I have been advised to hold on to the cardboard packaging and also the receipt which I will scan and file on my Mac. Hopefully I get a longer run out of this option.
Worst Overpriced Hose on the Market – We bought this hose from Bunnings about 10 months ago. It was suppose to last 10 years but only made 10 months. Cracks in the hose started to appear in a matter on months even though it is suppose to have a UV protection against damage caused by the sun. It finally ended with a giant split in the middle of hose and was unuasble. This hose also use to kink and the fittings leaked and was heavy to move. Nylex this is worse hose I have ever bought. Show details
Not happy at all – Paid good money for a supposedly no kink hose. Also bought some hose fittings that are hard to clip in and hard to get off. Feel I've been ripped off. Show details
severe manufacturing fault – hose instantly swelled up to an extremely large size, possibly double the diameter, became too heavy for my children to use. if you would need to replace the fitting in the future or shorten it, it would be impossible as diameter is now too large. also kinks almost instantly even under pressure. i have never seen a hose this badly made before, i'm not sure what is happening with their QA but they haven't tested it at all. Show details
The worst Hose EVER – The Worst hose ever . It expands to twice its size making it heavy to drag around . The ends blow off and its never leak ends leak more than a cheap $10 hose . Took it back to Bunnings and got the Gardena Hose for around the same price $80 odd and its perfect . In Short Nylex is Aweful . Show details
this is the perfect gift for someone you hate – The garden hose is not supposed to kink, it kinks more than any other hose I have ever bought, you straighten it out and it still kinks, when I roll on the hose reel I have to feed it in to stop the kinks, when it sits on the reel it kinks it self, it is a shocker Show details
Disappointed with what it claimed – I am tired with hose that kink when you are twenty meters away. Nylex is a well known name thought what what it advertised on the packaging and thought I give it a try. It is worst than the other brands whcih I bought before. It kinked right on the first day on 3 places. I won't buy it again nor introduce to anyone. Show details
Nylex Neverkink Pro – brought hose in 2017, had receipt and glad I kept it, brought the never kink pro and it was terrible, the plastic ends had to be replaced after about 2-3 weeks, I replaced them with brass fittings and no problems, but hose became hard in some spots and would coil, tangle and kink, I took it back to place of purchase and obtained my money back and… Read more
brought another brand of hose, certainly wouldn't recommend this hose due to the problems etc. have a cheaper hose and different brand for the same period of time and it excels over this hose 100%. hose was great for the 1-2 months after that it went downhill, also the hose had to be left in the sun for it to soften before it was any good to use. also if water was left in the hose and in the sun it was even better, but on a cold morning or winter morning it would stay in its coiled state and be useless.
Never ever buy Nylex hose! – Leaks both ends and one in the middle As far as no kink Yeah sure NOT! Over price piece of plastic! returns to Store for a refund! Will be telling other people if I see them Buying one at the hardware shop! Show details

Total garbage. DO. NOT. BUY – Both ends leaked immediately and within 10seconds the fitting popped off the tap. So much for high pressure and leak free. Took it back to Bunnings for a full refund. $100 worth of time wasting. Show details
never buy a nylex product again – I bought a "never kink" nylex hose and have had nothing but problem with it bending and twisting. My cheap old hose was much better than this garbage. I will never buy nylex products again. Show details
Does the complete opposite. Full of kinks – This hose kink and tangles continuously and is very hard to untangle. Does the opposite to when it says. We returned 3 hoses and a family member had the same experience and returned their hose too. Quite expensive product. Show details
Fittings are rubbish for an expensive hose – Fittings are rubbish have already returned one to Bunnings and about to return second not a cheap hose expect better. Cannot rely on when you connect another hose just comes apart
Rubbish don’t bother – I contacted nylex regarding the hose I brought a year on or less and the hose has sprung many leaks they haven’t even bothered trying to fix the problem will never buy another nylex product.
The cheaper hoses are better! – The hose still kinks, swells up in the sun, fittings are poor quality, I've used a lot cheaper hoses with less problems. I don't recommend buying unless you like the color only!
Nylex NeverKink – Purchased this hose set based on the anti kink rating and 30 year guarantee from Bunnings; the hose was only available with Nylex anti-leak fittings attached. I've had the hose about 12 months, to date it has resisted kinking, but then I store it laid flat and not coiled. The fittings have leaked from day one, I've had to tighten and then… Read more
refit at both ends of the hose and somehow they still managed to leak; most frustratingly the fittings do not hold at the tap connector under pressure.
Will be replacing all fittings very shortly.
Nylex 5 litre heavy duty sprayer – I do not usually write reviews, but I believe Bunnings should seriously consider withdrawing this product from sale .I purchased this so called heavy duty five litre Nylex pump sprayer from Bunnings. To say it is completely useless is an understatement. I returned two as I thought it may just have been the first one but no ,they are really unable… Read more
to do the job let alone any heavy duty ideas. When the nozzle pulled out of the trigger I rang Nylex to confirm I had assembled it correctly as the instructions are beyond a joke (Have a look at instructions if you are ever in Bunnings).Anyway I had put it together correctly and I was told not to worry about the nozzle ,which I can say, when you are up on a roof and the nozzle keeps flying out is a worry. I returned it and purchased the more expensive heavy duty sprayer at almost twice the price ....please do not fall for the cheap price, in this case you do get what you pay for.A complete waste of money..useless beyond description.It has made me worry about all Nylex and associated brands.
