I keep 2-50' rolls on a plastic cord reel. Lay it out and just roll it up! Water drains out and it lays flat on the reel. I keep brass QC fittings on it for quick hookups to my tank pump or PW.

Wow, I have never heard of such hose.
Going to save this link in my favorites and consider buying one soon.
Very durable?...I currently have a Craftsman Rubber hose and absolutely love it, but this hose you linked looks fantastic.

I have an always kink...Oops I mean neverkink from lowes. 75 ft. It's decent. For $30 bucks it's ok but does kink quite often. I'm lucky to get a year out of any hose. I may try one of these fancy high dollar ones one day.

I have the APEX hoses from Lowes and they do kink. My bigger concern is they collapse when on a real and seem to want to take a set so you to unspool it completely to get maximum flow. The tubing walls are so weak compared to my old Ace hexagon hose.

The thing puts itself away when I bleed off the water. It's not very long but works for my set up. I could see others needing something longer or double up.
The reviews on that X hose on Amazon are pitiful. I'm very glad yours works.

I'm loving my flexzilla so far, too bad I bought a crappy reel for it

I've attempted to use a coil hose for car washing, as well as other outdoor chores. No matter what I was trying to do, I had to also fight the hose. I wanted nothing more than to take an axe, chop it into tiny bits, then burn the bits in a raging inferno.
