FlexzillaGarden Hose with SwivelGrip, 5/8 in. x 50 ft., Lightweight All-Weather Water Hose, Durable and Flexible, Leak-Free Connections

I purchased this to replace a broken lead-in hose for my garden hose reel. The hose is very light, and with the aircraft aluminum fittings, and an O ring seal, you will definitely notice the difference when attaching this hose to your outdoor faucet! It is high-quality throughout, and with the hybrid polymer construction, it is very flexible. We live in Colorado, with hot summers and very cold winters, and this can be tough on garden hoses, but I believe that this hose will last for quite a few years. My wife and I also really like the color. I made the mistake of ordering a standard garden hose configuration, so I had to place an adapter in line to make it fit. If using the hose for this purpose, be sure to check the connection at your hose reel, and order the hose type accordingly!

This hose is great and works perfectly for what I needed, basically I bought a indoor swamp cooler and failed to read that the one I bought wasn't digital, it has knobs on it so I had no way to turn it off in the middle of the night when I was sleeping (Most I get have low water auto shut-off) so to fix this, I simply ran a hose in my room that ran through some filters, then I used this hose to connect to the cooler, so far I had no issue, the hose is very durable, stores very easy and is the perfect size, plus the color makes it stand out a bit so I like how it looks.Overall, I will probably order another one, once this fails.

As if Flexilla could make a better hose than they already did --At first I thought they had skimped and cheaped out on my most recent hose purchase. The hose seemed flimsy and light weight. I love that these hoses are light weight, but this one seemed even lighter. I couldn't imagine it would be any good.But I used it. WOW!The rather flat hose plumps up with water in it, and is still very light weight. But the really great news is that once the water is turned off, the hose flattens just a bit and that makes it marvelously easy to coil without kinking and wrestling with it.I thought they couldn't improve on a good thing. But they did. Now, as much as I love my older Flexilla hoses, I sort of want to buy all new ones. If you need a fabulous, light weight hose with very minimal kinking issues (yes ALL hoses kink if they are man-handled) -- buy this brand. I bought the ⅝" 50' hose.

Let me start by saying — I love the color. That blinding lime green? Chef’s kiss. It’s like someone dipped a fire hose in highlighter ink. I could drop this thing in a jungle and still find it. No more lost hose ends blending into the grass like garden snakes. Nope, this one practically glows with confidence. Style points: 10/10.Now let’s talk toughness — this hose is thick, durable, and absolutely laughs at the concept of kinking. I tried to make it fold weird once just to test the marketing claims, and it refused like a stubborn mule with a gym membership. If hoses had biceps, this one would have veins.But here’s the thing… wrestling this beast back onto a hose reel is like trying to coil a python that just spotted freedom. It flops, it flails, it resists every single turn. I’m out there putting this on the holder with one hand, trying to coax it with the other, sweating like I’m in a rodeo. If you saw me, you’d assume I was locked in a fight with some kind of radioactive garden serpent.So yes, it’s kink-free. But don’t confuse that for user-friendly. I’ve seen easier handling from toddlers with glitter glue.Still, four stars because it really is a quality hose. Just be ready to work for it — or better yet, lift weights before trying to tame this Flexzilla. Your garden will be hydrated. Your forearms? Shredded.

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 weatherDurable outer jacket withstands abrasionEnd fittings are exact and leak-freeDrinking water safeCons:Not entirely kink-proof—minor kinks can occur with sharp bendsSlightly more expensive than basic hoses, but quality justifies the costSummary: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.
