Flexi Hose Upgraded Expandable Garden Hose 50 ft Extra Strength 3/4 Solid Brass Fittings - The Ultimate No-Kink Flex 50 ft Water Hose (Black, 50FT)

So far so good. HadOne that came apart. Hoping this one lasts longer

Why did I wait so long to purchase this hose? It is so much easier than trying to manipulate heavy rubber hoses. It is quite lightweight and flexible. It does not get kinks in it. There are no leaks at the connections. It makes watering the garden a task to enjoy versus a chore. If you are thinking about this hose, just make the purchase.

Love these hoses! Did have to replace them after first season, as they sprung leaks - maybe from being in 100 degrees heat.

Amazing hose, shrinks up very, very small the 50 feet make it easy to get around the entire yard no leaking like the fact that it has a valve on and off attached to the house.

I've gone through a lot of flexible hoses. Some cheap. Some expensive. All with the same disappointing life expectancy. I am very impressed with this hose. The feel of the hose is hefty, with a sturdiness to it. But, it still collapsed very well and wasn't heavy. Its a big plus that it has brass fittings. Its well made. Highly recommend this hose!

This has been a great hose for several years. I have enjoyed the ease of using it. It has been taken care of, e.g., has been in a hose container and protected from the weather.Several weeks ago a leak occurred in the fabric just below the metal connector at the spigot, but not at the connector. Given a contact number by Amazon, I contacted the company for a replacement since it came with a lifetime warranty, which I might add was a good part of the reason for purchasing. After several back and forth emails that seemed to request at least some of the purchase information again, I would be getting a replacement, but NOT the same one originally purchased, but one (after looking it up) that was HALF THE PURCHASE PRICE of my original hose. I received the Silver Bullet Pocket Hose instead of the Flexihose. I realize that my hose cost less a few years ago, and that the replacement is actually closer to my original purchase price, but it's the same product that should be the replacement, despite inflation. Maybe it will last awhile, but the point is that they are falling short of their advertised lifetime warranty if they won't replace with the same product purchased. There were other reviewers who were pleased and gave positive reviews requested replacements. Perhaps the hose is not warrantied this way anymore, but it was when I purchased it and that matters to the customer.UPDATE:NECESSITY dictates that I must update this previous review; and I have gave a star less based solely on customer service rather than on product.The replacement (pocket hose) I received is no where near the hose I originally bought; and it's an understatement that I am frustrated, and that I even troubled myself to get my Flexi Hose replaced, as well as waiting about two weeks to receive it. I just hope no one pays good money for this pocket hose. You can not even put a nozzle on it; you twist the nozzle that's attached to turn it on, and when you twist to turn off it dribbles (leaks, rather) water from the spray nozzle. Maybe it's worth $30, but I don't think so, and the quality doesn't match up to the Flexi Hose, which is a pretty good hose; this pocket hose probably won't last very long. I'd rather pay a few bucks more for a better performing hose.The main point is THIS: IT WAS MY REPLACEMENT for the Flexi Hose that I have had, that came (or so it said) with lifetime warranty. If the company decided that the hose shouldn't have a lifetime warranty, that's fine as long as those that purchased under that warranty are honored if their hose tears up; they should replace it and inform the customer that hoses acquired after such and such date will not have a lifetime warranty.BOTTOM LINE: A company should stand true to what they advertise. I am more than disappointed. I will look for another hose from a different maker and hope this cheaper hose one can make it until then.P.S. How annoying to see the Flexi Hose on HD website and still advertising the Lifetime Warranty.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The best hose I’ve ever bought from anywhere!!! I love it. Ease of maneuver:Simple lightweight and easy to use Kink resistance:does not kink at all.

I love these. Converted all 4 hoses at our house to these. They look great, hide easily, don't kink, don't have permanent twists, and are extremely easy to handle. No tangling unless you purposely tie them in a knot. The hoses are actually two hoses, one inside the other. The inner hose is an extremely flexible expanding rubber-like material. The outer hose is linearly stretchy cover which keeps the inner hose from expanding outward too much.Be aware that because of the design, when the water supply is turned off, they will continue to squirt for a minute or so as the remaining water inside the hose is squeezed out, which allows them to shrink back to their original size.There are two bugaboos with this design. First, if you leave them in the sun all day they become sun damaged and begin to leak after a couple of years and need to be replaced. Second, avoid abrasions that might cause hidden damage on the outside. When that happens the hose will pop like a car tire blowout and then need to be replaced. For these reasons you should never leave the hose under pressure. When you're done using it, turn the water off at the source to avoid surprises.All in all we wouldn't go back to old style hoses. If one of these pops every few years, so be it. We just buy another one. It's not worth our time fighting with those old style hoses when they need to be used or put away.
