What sold me on this kit were the fittings. They looked to be well made, easy to install (and take apart) and durable. I just put the in and it was so easy. You can cut the hoses with a hand pruner and the ends easily slip into the fittings. Yes, you can buy the standard barbed couplers and t-fittings for a lot less, but what I don't like about those is often you can't take them apart as easily.
My only knock on this kit is that I think for the money there should have been double the fittings. But they are the best quality I've seen, so hopefully they will last.

The hoses are easy to cut and the fittings easy to attach. Fittings don't leak and drip hoses are very effective. Very easy to disconnect feed line when mowing and to modify/tweak as necessary. Only in use this season so cannot attest to their durability, but initial impression is very positive and they appear to be made solidly enough to last. Will update next year (if needed) after prolonged exposure to the elements.

What's not to like? With a knife to cut the hoses you've got all you need to water a decent sized garden.

I have three 8' long beds and it took me all of 15 minutes total to lay the hose, put on the connectors and hook it up to the faucet. I barely read the directions it was so easy. It was funny to be standing there waiting for a problem to fix but everything worked as it should right out of the box.

Like others have suggested, expose the hose to sunlight on a warm day for a couple hours so it'll relax and you can straighten it. I also used stakes (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VTHRNSK) to hold it in place.

I have noticed that the first run of weeping hose has the most water coming out, the second a bit less, and the last one pretty slow. Fortunately my plants are arranged in such a way that it doesn't matter much. And I just leave it on for a while longer to make sure that area gets watered.

I haven't seen how it survives the winter and next summer. I read at least one review that said the material broke down fast. We'll see, I guess.

**EDIT** This is now my second season using the kit. The first year the weeper hose was just sitting out in the sun. I brought it in to the garage during the winter and brought it back out for the spring. When I hooked it up this year (the 2nd year) there were a lot of spots where water was squirting not weeping. No real worries because I just covered it with the mulch and that contains the water. I'm going to buy some more weeping hose for next year. Everything else seems just fine!

A+ Would recommend.

Pros: Easy to put together, plenty of hose for my purposes, and no leaks.
Cons: A little uneven watering (more at the beginning and less near the end of the hose). Also, the soaker hose is affected by the weather and can break down, so be prepared to buy more.

This soaker hose set helped tremendously this very hot dry summer. I still had to water during the week but not daily. I bought a timer and it all hooked up nicely.

I don't often write reviews for things, but this might make an exception. We just got this installed in our garden and I can't begin to explain how simple this was. We've got 8 garden beds at 4'x10' and before this system, we were just running a plain ol' soaker hose of 75' to two beds at a time. And this was fine, except you end up getting a bunch of overhang where you're watering a bunch of stuff between beds and it's basically a tripping hazard between beds.

Now with this system, man... you just cut the length of soaker hose you need and connect it using the connectors and then you're done. The connectors are the sweetest part of this, they super easy to use. Just shove it in and tighten the connector and done. I kept telling my wife last night while were were putting this together "I really like this system! It's so easy!" And thus I've come to tell you all the same thing.

Heck, you don't even need to put this in rows, you can just make it work for whatever your garden set up us. No wasted water. Plus the materials are great quality.

It's an easy buy.
