Mine died within less of a season lol

I just replaced my Flexzilla hoses this weekend. If you plan on using a hose reel you'll fight with them every time due to the memory from being rolled up. They twist and kink even with swivel ends. It's tough to find a good hose.

Are you saying I'm better off coiling it on the ground? That is what I do now.

Do you know what one you have?

I believe its the same one that Eldorado2k has in his post. This hose is going on two years old and still going strong. I'd buy again. As someone else says in another post here, its tough finding the "perfect" hose.

Probably will perform better for you if coiled loosely on the ground. When rolled tight on a hose reel is when I experienced issues.

Doing some research, the hose itself on the different models is the same, it's the fittings that are different. Menards has a 5/8" 50' long regular garden hose for $20. Sounds like a fantastic deal.

Take a good look at Zero-G Hoses. Lightweight Water Hose - zero-G

I have 2-50' and 2-100' sections in 5/8" (Grey) and a 100' in 1/2" (Blue). I keep all of it coiled up in a 5 Gal bucket. I have yet to damage one or have a failure in the last three year with almost daily use. They are a bit cheaper that the Flexzillas and have a 5-year warranty if i remember right. There are also some other brands popping up with similar designs from Goodyear, Stanley and a couple others.
But for the weight, and compactness and flexibility I wouldn't use another hose. They sometimes do kink if not coiled up right, but a quick snap will fix it easily.

I like the looks of the zero-g. I saw them at Walmart and they look like they are well made. Glad to hear it works so well. I might go with the zero-g over the Flexzilla.

I’m not a fan of aluminum couplings. They feel too flimsy to me. Old school, I guess.

Well I know AGO hates it when we talk products not sold here but I came across Water Right hoses and have been very pleased. High quality no lead stainless steel options for connections and you can drink water out of it. waterrightinc.com
....I don’t drink water out of my hose but it’s a concern to some!

I loved using the green flexzilla like eldorado has. That's an awesome hose. It's super easy to coil back up, and I pretty much can only use one hand. So when I say easy I mean it's easy.
