zero-G 4001-50 Lightweight, Ultra Flexible, Durable, Kink-Free Garden Hose, 5/8-Inch by 50-Feet,Black

I bought this in March and now in September it's unusable due to massive leaking where the hose meets the metal coupling for screwing to the faucet (as best I can tell). It was great as regards weight, flexibility, and very little kinking, but then I closed it at the nozzle/ sprayer end a few times while adjusting/cleaning the birdbath e.g., and now it leaks copiously from under the plastic sheath below the brass faucet coupling end (I hope that's clear). I could have lived forever NOT closing off the nozzle while the faucet was running, but nooooo I had to learn the hard way. Buying it again, poorer but wiser.

Super light. Easy to manage. Watering the garden is so much less of a chore. I bought a second one for the front yard. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a light duty but fully functioning garden hose. Or two. It’s very flexible and the gray color is very subtle when rolled up. I got the 50 foot version. It’s a good size for a smaller yard. We also attach it to our rain barrel.

I'm in the HVAC trade and we use water hoses quite often to wash out condenser and the occasional evaporator coils. I wanted to see how this hose was going hold up before I posted a comment on it. Construction: The build quality of these hoses is better than expected, rugged for what it is and so fare has held up very well. No signs of wear, no leaks anywhere. Looks like the makers of this hose set off from the start to produce a quality product and in my humble opinion, mission accomplished. The outside of the hose is some kind of tough flexible fabric, sorta reminds me of and rolls up like a fire hose. The metal connections are perfect, they screw together with no leaks so far. This isn't some QVC, cash on delivery piece of junk hose, so buy with confidence. Use: The hose has a flat memory orientation if that makes any sense, so when you roll it up it will stack up on top of itself. You have to make it move from side to side to completely fill up a reel winder. I keep both sets of these hose rolled up on the "FreeReel", and I honestly don't know how I operated without these in the past. I no longer have to fight the big green hoses that constantly kink and take up a huge amount of space. The hose has a rubber liner inside so they will expand somewhat when water is applied. This works very well in situations where water pressure is low, as it applies brief added pressure as the hose returns to it's original size. Very helpful in rural areas with homes on well water. I was looking a for a hose that I could wind up on a reel as I hate winding hoses by hand. I stumbled onto this hose by complete accident and I'm so glad I did. The 50ft version of this fits perfectly on the FreeReel and I have two sets of these. When I need water I walk up connect the female end of the hose to the outlet, then start walking away as the hose unwinds behind me. Connect my Nu-Calgon spray nozzle and I'm working. No unraveling hoses! When I'm done, pull the hose out straight, empty the water out, roll it up on the FreeReel, and put it in the van. Easy Business! Final thoughts: This is a Superior product in every regard, I love it! When I finally manage to wear it out or break it I will purchase another without hesitation. Yes, I would recommend to relatives and friends.

We've previously owned these hoses and they typically last a full year in our Texas heat. However, when our former hose began leaking, we ordered a new one. The first came and at the first install had a significant leak at the faucet end to the point of large puddles around the hose within 2-3 minutes of using it. We replaced multiple gaskets thinking that was the problem, but it was leaking where the hose was connected to the metal connection. We ordered a replacement (thinking it was a one-off situation) and returned that one. The 2nd one we bought also leaked (video), but this time at the sprayer end. I used it 3 total times and in the process of recording it to show my husband, the end with the sprayer shot off, leaving no metal connection piece. It seems like it had the same problem as the one before it, but worse since this one actually came apart. We've now gone with a different brand and are hopeful that one will work. Of note, the sprayer head has been the same one through about 5 different hoses with no issues, so seems doubtful that it was the sprayer head.

I really like this hose, with exceptions. Its light-weight for one. EZ to move around the yard. Storage is a breeze. CON: YES, it kinks. but its just for a sec and a little tug on the hose. Im using my 4th hose. A 100foot Ive had problems with TWICE, both split on the side. HOWEVER, my 50 foot hoses are great. I wholeheartedly endorse.

The zero-G Lightweight Hose has been a fantastic upgrade from traditional heavy garden hoses. It’s incredibly lightweight, making it easy to move around the yard without the usual hassle of dragging a bulky hose. Despite being lightweight, it’s surprisingly durable and holds up well to regular use without kinking or leaking. The flexibility makes it easy to store, and it doesn’t get stiff even in cooler weather. Water flow is strong and consistent, and the hose connects securely to my spigot and attachments. Whether for watering plants, washing the car, or general yard work, this hose has been a great investment. If you’re looking for a lightweight, reliable, and well-built hose, the zero-G Lightweight Hose is an excellent choice!

This hose is really nice. It's very sturdy, yet flexible. It doesn't kink up. I've had other hoses that were flexible, but nor nearly as durable as this one. I'll probably end up buying another one for my back yard.

This kind of construction of a garden hose is all new to me, and it changed my ideas about hoses. Compared to conventional hoses, it is very lightweight, which was my main reason for selecting it. I wanted something that my wife could easily deploy to water her flowers, which became and every day task this past summer. This hose has quite a tendency to kink, but it is not really a problem. As long as the water is turned on, there is enough pressure to straighten out the kinks in the line. Also, it only takes a little thumb pressure if you want to stop the flow for any reason. The only disadvantage to this is that the water tends to surge as it comes out, but in practice, this is only a minor concern. Now I can't wait for my other hoses to wear out so I can replace them with these. There are a number of hoses of this type available, but I chose the zero-G brand because they are assembled in the USA and they have brass inserts on the fittings. I was not too sure about the aluminum fittings, but that seems to be the industry standard now. I would readily recommend the aero-G brand for whatever length hose you need for household purposes. Very lightweight and easy to move around. Delivered on time and in excellent condition.
