Flexzilla Garden Hose
Hey all,
I am in need of a new garden hose. I see great reviews on them, but, I see a few different models. So what one should I go with?
Or
Is there a better one I should be considering?

I've got the 50 footer for my garage. I really like it. Considering I often use it during the winter, it doesn't get stiff like other hoses, remaining nice and flexible. It does kink but not enough to be a bother. Best hose I've used.

Do you know what one you have?

I remember reading your post when you first got this, Eldo.
Good to hear it's still working, and good to hear the REAL review, not the bogus sales pitch.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Flexzilla Garden Hose
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.

Re: Flexzilla Garden Hose
Wrap the hose up using the over and under method. I was commercial diver for years and this is how dive rigs are coiled up. I coil my hoses up and extension cords this way. Cords get finished up different but coiled the same.
We never called them kinks. We called them a specific body part.

Oh so that’s what they did... Sneaky guys.
I just watched a demo of the over under method. I ain’t going through that trouble. Lol. Thanks though.

Re: Flexzilla Garden Hose
Really is no trouble. Doesn't take any longer then doing it any other way. You can coil it on the ground and then hang it.
Nothing drives me crazy like hose kinks or cords that get a mess when you try to use them.
