How long a hose?

Up to 20 m or so just learn how to hand coil it properly. Longer is
probably best dealt with by "figure of eighting" it on the ground.
Kinks come from embedded twists in the hose, coiled properly or fig
of 8'd there are no embedded twists.

Couple of cable coiling videos to show the correct way to coil
