"No, it shouldn't kink if fitted directly bit alternatively clip it to the wall or unit to stop the risk of linking"

"It shouldn’t make much of a difference. If it’s a good quality hose, it’ll be fine."

"If fitted correctly it will not kink as long as it is clipped at regular intervals and supported not leaving a lot of excess being the machine that can kink when the machine is pushed back.
