Flexzilla Colors SwivelGrip Garden Hose 5/8 in. x 25 ft., Lightweight All-Weather Water Hose, Durable and Flexible, Leak-Free Connections, Red Clay

i have about 6 of these in various lengths. I use them for my poor man's sprinkler system (multiple hose bibs, timers, hoses, and sprinklers throughout my yard from May-Oct each year. - replacing my older hoses as they fail.

They are incredibly light, extremely flexible, and so far (knock on wood) I have had no issues with wear or leaks or problems with the fittings. They are the only truly unkinkable hoses I have ever used. The mulch-colored ones are perfect for me as I route most of them through mulched beds. And they lie flat to the ground immediately.. They are not cheap but if I get more than 3 years use per hose, they are well worth it to me. Very easy loop up in prep for storage in my man cave - where I keep about a dozen hoses in the winter (for comparison try to wind up a half frozen rubber-vinyl hose when the temperature is pretty low).

Definitely the best type of hose I have ever owned.

This is a really great garden hose. It is durable yet light and the ends swivel making it easy to maneuver. I have not had issues with tangling all while being very flexible. It comes in a range of colors and came with a few washers to aid in drip less connecting. I used a thumb controll nozzle and it connected very easily and has been secure and without leaks. I found it to be a good value for the price based on the features noted.

I'm a big fan of Flexzilla, but I've never been crazy about the bright green color that the first one I bought is. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was able to get the size I needed in a brown color. They have improved the hose since I bought the first one a few years ago, it now has a swivel device on both sides. I'm not going to say this product is kink free because it does kink up on occasion, but it comes out with an tug from any distance and later has no memory of kinking in that place like other hoses do. I can coil it up on the ground with ease. Just an all around great hose!

This hose is okay. I do not rate it a 5 because every time I go to unwind it is have to straighten out the kinks. I do like the end handles which make attaching to faucet real easy.

This is without a doubt the best garden hose I have ever bought. Perfectly named "Flexzilla" No more do I fight a hose all over the yard. This one easily goes where I go with no stiff kinks twisting my hand and wrist. AT LAST!!!

That swivel grip is nothing to gloss over. Don't know if these guys invented it, but It's a wonderful invention. I can't describe it in a text, but I will say it makes a big difference when I wash my car or water my garden. It eliminates kinks!

I generally hate garden hoses. I can't remember how many I have had to throw out because they get a kink or two in them and they are never the same after that. You know what I mean. But, the material used for these is very soft and flexible and it doesn't really want to kink, and if it does it seems to unkink naturally. I also like how light weight this hose is. It isn't a tiny flow like some of the expanding light weight hoses, it is full 5/8" diameter. I originally bought it for my camper since it was easy to coil and stow in the small storage bin. But after seeing how well it works I replaced all the hoses at home with this type.

This is a difficult review to write. I have had this hose for about a year and a half and was satisfied with my purchase. However, a few days ago the swivel nozzle blew off when I used the hose. There was no way to reattach it.

I contacted the manufacturer regarding a warranty and was pleased and somewhat surprised at their very prompt response. And for that, I give Flexzilla five stars. However, the information that Flexzilla gave me regarding care of the hose was somewhat disturbing. I quote:

“Do not leave the hose unattended

[Is the hose left under pressure during extended periods of time? Garden Hose example: Left connected to the spigot overnight or longer, even with water off?]

Store the hose in a cool, dry place when not in use, and disconnect it from the spigot or compressor to relieve pressure. [Is the hose stored in a cool, dry place after each use?] ….”

The questions and advice would suggest that in hot weather you might need to disconnect the hose and move it to a cool place every time you use the hose, which could be daily (or perhaps multiple times per day). Not very convenient with a 100’ hose. Also, even if the water faucet to which the hose is attached is turned off, Flexzilla instructs to disconnect the hose from the spigot when the hose is not in use. Again, not very convenient. Had I been aware that the Flexzilla hose is a pretty delicate flower, I probably would not have purchased it. I have other people watering my plants when I am on vacation and they might inadvertently leave the hose “pressurized”. The possibility that the hose nozzle could disconnect and spew hundreds of gallons of water before being discovered concerns me.

As stated, until the swivel nozzle disconnected, I had no complaints about the hose. The manufacturer’s response was exceptional and appreciated. But because of the fragility of the hose, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend it.
