Flexzilla Garden Lead-in Hose 5/8 in. x 3 ft., Lightweight All-Weather Water Hose, Durable and Flexible, Leak-Free Connections

I received the Flexzilla Utility Hose, 5/8 in x 15 ft (15.9 mm x 4.57 m), for use around my home, and after a week of daily tasks, here’s my experience. Design & Build Quality: The hose is lightweight (much easier to carry than standard rubber hoses) and highly pliable, making it simple to coil and maneuver in tight spaces. The bright yellow/green color is highly visible and feels durable, even when dragged across rough concrete. Performance: Flexibility & Pliability: The hose seems to be flexible in a range of temperatures and is easy to work with, even when cold. Unlike stiffer hoses, I could loop it around corners and through garden beds without much effort. Kink Resistance: While it does kink if twisted sharply, it recovers well and doesn’t flatten out permanently. I noticed far fewer kinks compared to cheaper vinyl hoses, but it isn’t 100% kink-free. Durability: After repeated use, the outer jacket shows no signs of wear or cracking. The drinking water safe certification gave me peace of mind if filling pet bowls. Fittings: Both end fittings are perfectly machined and connected tightly to my outdoor faucets and sprayers with zero leaks. The O-rings seated smoothly and created a watertight seal on the first try. Pros: Lightweight and easy to handle (2.7 lbs / 1.2 kg) Stays flexible in cold and hot weather Durable outer jacket withstands abrasion End fittings are exact and leak-free Drinking water safe Cons: Not entirely kink-proof—minor kinks can occur with sharp bends Slightly more expensive than basic hoses, but quality justifies the cost Summary: If you want a utility hose that’s easy to carry, resists kinking better than most, and comes with precise, durable fittings, the Flexzilla is a solid choice.

I've only owned this a few months but so far it works very well. The hose seems thicker and more sturdy than other brands I've tried. Connectors are high quality too (unlike some other reviewers mentioned hmmm). My only small complaint is the hose gets kinks in it easily, maybe simply due to the long length. Otherwise it's been good!

There is a reason one should spend extra on hoses! I have 2 acres in Texas and do not have a sprinkler system so I am constantly moving hoses and sprinklers to water. I try other hoses because of sales but I always return them for flexzilla hoses. The swivelgrip makes it very easy to securely connect without leakages and disconnect. The color is very nice (we have gray and brown). We have had them for YEARS with dogs and children and high use; very durable. They rarely kink, they are lightweight. By far the best hoses.

I am reviewing a year after purchase as I browse my past items purchased. As far as hoses go, Flexzilla really is one of the best options. Light and flexible, sturdy wall thickness construction, and great resistance to kinking. However, if you are familiar with hoses, air hoses, heavy gauge power cords, you know that one annoyance can be that they fight to remain straightened. If it starts getting twisted, the hose can feel stiff and put torque on the sprayer end. I suggest using in parallel to a 'Reel' type storage system, so the hose remains in its natural linear orientation. I gave 4/5 stars because after nearly a year of admitted regular use, the barb connection at the sprayer handle failed and broke away from the hose itself. I realized the barb was fairly cheap and only held into the hose by friction and minor crimping of the rubber itself. Ideally this would be more of a 'Permanent' joint. I repaired it easily nonetheless with a readily available hose repair clamping joint (TIP - If you ever have this happen get the repair clamp with two solid metal halves that compress the hose. Don't get a worm gear clamp or you'll be avoiding the sharp metal tail all the time).

It's a really good garden hose with great flexibility and great value. The green color is something I personally do not like but that is subjective. In general is great value hose with good kink resistance .

Very light weight and flexible but at the same time seems to be of very good construction quality. The fittings were very easy to tighten and I have 0 leaks from any of the ends. Will only buy Flexzilla going forward. I used some brackets to hold it up along the wall and it looks relatively discreet.

I have purchased this garden hose for numerous family members, because it is amazing! Said family members agree. I drag mine everywhere in my yard and have done so for the past four years. It rarely ever kinks, it is fairly light, and even at 100 feet, quite easy to manoeuvre around my yard. I have two of these 100 footers, because I am an avid gardener and I have quite a large yard. I also use it with my pressure washer and it holds up great! I do not see how I would ever purchase a different brand. 100% recommend. Worth every penny.

One of the best hose I've ever used. I have a professional exterior cleaning company and i have very picky needs and one of them is the high quality hose which doesn't burst, king or give any headaches. I went through at least 4-5 brands and types of hoses and always found them too stiff, not resistant to kinks, burst, or simply are poor quality. This one? Absolutely best and brilliant hose. Perfect balance between all best features that hose should have. Only big thing you should know is that you need specific type of connection and being in the UK it is not standard which is followed by hard to find.

Ok. The hose does kink initially, as others noted, but once it’s laid out it seems to relax. Doesn’t have the easy connection of the traditional green Flexzillas either. The black sleeves at the end serve little purpose that I can see, and are flimsy vinyl. The fittings are, as someone else noted, cheap plastic, not brass. Will keep it, but will not buy again to replace other hoses. (Yes, I have many hoses. I am the hose queen.)

Correspond à la description et semble robuste: à voir avec le temps. Le pas de vis est peut-être un peu difficile pour tomber correctement avec le robinet: j’ai connu des systèmes plus aisé à viser.
