You mention working smarter not harder. You look like your working harder, and seem to be enjoying it. I like the ease of my traditional hose with a reel, and don't mind replacing it every few years. The last thing I want to do is spend a few more minutes in the garden. I'd rather be fishing, but I'm glad you've found a hose you enjoy. Controversial indeed!

Flexzilla has been awesome all summer 👍 have not made it to winter yet, but you make an excellent point about why they would last longer in freezing temps. Seriously can’t say enough good things about this hose

Thanks for the clear and thorough review. I just ordered one from Home Depot. I also discovered that Amazon sells replacement fitting for the ends, if they should ever come off. These are high quality fittings made specifically for the Flexilla hose.

i was on the fence... but this video just convinced me to buy one. I bought a flexi hose a few weeks ago. But after just 3 uses, it is badly frayed. But i did like the no kink aspect. So hopefully this one will indeed have the industrial strength to last a few years without hassle ... especially the kinks that forever stay in previous generic hoses. Oh and yah.. no bursting. Yardworks was the first one to do that some weeks ago and led to this new quest to find a quality hose. This video has given me the confidence to go ahead ...as i was starting to read quite a few of those bad reviews you mentioned :)

I use as Flexilla on a hose reel, and have done so for perhaps 5 years, without any issue. It's absolutely the best hose I've ever owned. I roll/unroll from the reel with no water turned on.

I bought the hose, but I got the version with the swivel grips. The grips are a nice enhancement, but would have been fine without them. I just like gadgets. I watched some videos that demonstrated coiling a hose with an over/under method. This prevents tangles and kinks. I tried it on my old Zero G hose that was a kink monster and it totally cured it from kinking! I was amazed. So I use it on Flexzilla, too. I can throw it down on the ground while still coiled, just what you said NOT to do, and it still doesn't kink. Anyway, great hose.

Best question is why they make any hose other than flexzilla. Great video. Had one in a municipal shop for going on 10 years only one that lasts

Had mine 2 years. Day 1 hung has came out of it. When I hook it to a sprinkler it clogs it up. Non of my other hoses do that so it's not my awesome water. I'm wondering if the hose has a weird liner that decays. Its slimy shit brownish

The magic of Flexzilla hoses is that they don't remember the kink. I've had mine for three years now and it's as good as the day I bought it. No other real hose does that. Even contractor grade hoses.

Thank you for making this video! I’m having a hard time deciding between Flexzilla hose and Right Water hoses, thought.

How did you repair or replace the Apex hose heads?

Great job !!

My only gripe with my Flexzilla hose is the anodized aluminum ends. One drag against concrete and the coating gets scuffed. Then the end corrodes to whatever its connected to, if it's connected for a long time. I've had to use wrenches to break the corrosion. I now use anti-seize on the end to prevent the corrosion. Also, I've dropped the hose end on the driveway and the threads dented enough to prevent easy attachment, and had to file the threads to get them back to shape. Brass or stainless hose ends would be so much better.

Flexzilla seems like good stuff, been seeing them everywhere!

It would be nice if Flexzilla would make a hose 🐍 that would have both ↔️ one Pro Spiral Bend Restrictor and one Swivel Grip! Best of both worlds when using a hose reel 🌀.

I want to put this hose, the 100 ft type, in a Fleur De Lis hose pot. So will that be a problem to put this in a pot that does accommodate a 100 ft hose?

I absolutely loved this hose when I first got it. So much so I purchased 4 of them for myself and got one for my son as well. I could semi-easily drag the 200 feet of hose to the back of my property to water new trees we planted. However, instead of continually pulling the hose back and forth, one week I ended up just leaving it lay across the yard. That is when it turned black, molded! I got a large tub and bleached it. A lot of it came off but could not get it clean. Soon there after it was black again. The one I purchased for my son still looked fine although after he had it for about 3 years he pulled the end off when attempting to remove a hose nozzle. Moral to the story, good hose if you keep it out of the sun when not in use; don't manhandle attachments.

I have a solar panel & window cleaning business and they work just fine on my hose reels

What’s your opinion on this Flexzilla water hose after 3 years? I’m debating on Flexzilla, Gilmore rubber or Continental rubber water hose.

Are these hoses fairly soft and lay relatively flat on a reel compared.to a hard rubber hose?

First, thank you for your service! I'm subscribing for that reason alone. The Flexzilla says it's drinking water safe, but I have been unable to determine what the "hybrid polymer" is that they say it's make of. I found a 2016 study on common garden hoses and the bottom line is that it has to be made of polyurethane for the lowest lead content (to make it "drinking water safe.") That's why I'm so curious to know what it's made of.

Hey, Marine. I have three Flexzilla hoses. Love them, lighter than most, they are expensive, but strong, I store mine in an outside she shed, Minnesota winters are tough. I keep them in a automatic hose reel. lifetime limited warranty, the one I had replaced was three years old, the heat, I assume, caused the end to pop off, I emailed the company, they had me take a couple pictures, week later the new 100’ hose is in the mail. Just like that. Good video thanks for posting.

Love my flexilla. Have had for 2 years and have only two problems. First, I ran over the end and crimped the metal. Lol More seriously it is the ONLY hose of the four that I have that grew algae/ mildew over the fall/winter. My other hoses I just hosed down due to dirt. The Flexilla I had to put in bucket with bleach an salt.

OK, I admit I'm lazy... and getting more lazy every year past SS age. I really DO like just pulling a hose off a turning reel to use it and when done, grabbing the reel handle and just winding it back up without experiencing any kinks or problems. I also like a thermostat on my HVAC system, a starter motor on my truck and shingles instead of a tent. Call me crazy, call me lazy; just don't call me late for dinner. I think most of us just want an easy pull out, no kink, no leak easy wind up hose. I'm glad you are liking your Flexzilla, but I'm looking for a trouble free hose -and a few bucks more is a small price to pay if one is out there.

What is the internal bore diameter of the hose? Thanks

Some users on amzn said they had mold issues but yours looks fine to me.

I am one of those leave my hoes out in my garden cuz be watered everyday or every other day so I've been on one side one day the other side the next day so the plants can get started water right away I do like that hose you were talking about the Flexzilla for lack of Kinks how much does the hose cost and how long are they cuz our house has been awesome but yes we do get Kinks and it because we cuz you're going around in circles and you have to unwind it keep up the great work have a cheers with a beer

Mine leaks at the connection point. I’ve tried new O rings and it still leaks. It also slides off the metal end when water is on. Im wondering if the threads on my spicket don’t jive with the threads on the hose. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Im about to ready to try a new hose

Hey can you by any chance do another update on the c300? How does it drive etc :)

I work in a nursery/greenhouse and flexzillas are the industry standard. When you buy them new unwind them from your arms and let them lay straight to open up and stretch out. All hoses kink from time to time so that criticism is silly. Store them as stretched out as you can. Two or three curls back onto itself and let it lay. Rolling them is not how pros store hoses and will cause knots and more kinking. Find an edge of your yard that it can lay against and store it that way. The weather won't degrade it at all.

this went from being curious about Flexzilla to being amused at a fellow USMC vet (I hope) tell lazy civilians to roll up their hose properly. Beautiful. Semper Fi

Any mold problems? I saw a few reviews on Amazon stating they had black mold after a few months of use

I like the Flexzilla hoses too! I like how you brought up the lazy people thing. Man ain't that the truth! People qant instant gratification from little to no effort. Thanks for the review bro! I think I would like to see a built in swivel at the ends also. That's one thing my heavy professional grade hoses have. And that does help with not having to worry about spinning the hose. Especially when you're around obstacles.... Or you can just put a swivel adapter on it. Which is what I did. 👍

Bro: Try one of the High quality Rapid Reel"s roll your hose in or out with no drama.

Ha! When you threw the hose down at 4:00 you did it backwards. You had te nozzle end on the bottom of the coil. If you had flipped it 180° so that the nozzle end was on top of the coioed pile of hose you would noy have a=had any tangles.

You didn't really sell this hose for me. Seems more of a hassle than its worth. I've had a rubber Craftsman hose on the south side of my house in full sun daily for over 10 yrs without a hiccup. Wonder how long these would last.

I'm looking for a hose right now your review is selling me on it. My hose right now is 3 or 4 years old and has been outside for that time during the winter and it sits mostly on the hottest side of the house too so it has seen it all. It's iust a standard green one from the Depot. It kinks really bad now I can barely use it so it's time for something new. I don't trust these soft looking expanding one's I see on Amazon around here those won't last for sure.

Great review. This is def not the hose for me!

Not a lazy person hose...to funny.

Lol I enjoyed your review but having to struggle with a garden hose after a 12 hour shift with 3 kids is really not something I would want to put up with no matter how lazy that might make me. It's the same reason why I drive an automatic instead of stickshift for my 2 hour commute. A car enthusiast might think I'm lazy but there are somethings that I am willing to struggle for, a garden hose is not one of them

Reviews i read said it gets moldy easily.

Used to be made here in America. Now it’s manufactured in Taiwan

Who could not like these never heard those comments ever

Hey! You know what else is amazing? When you use and operate products the way they were designed, THEY WORK! Nothing special here people.

It's not that "flexzilla" is a bad hose! It's just that there are better hoses out there. That's all! Just get a 5/8 diameter hose that is heavy duty. In other words ,don't buy a thin walled ,thin hose and expect it to last or not kink. Get yourself a nice 5/8 thick walled hose and you will be fine 🙂. I irony is that "good" hoses don't usually cost that much more than cheap quality hoses do. Oh and stay away from 1/2 inch hoses if you like decent water pressure and volume out the end of your hose. 5/8 is the sweet spot for residential water pressure. 1/2 is too small and 3/4 is too big and you will actually lose pressure even though you gain volume. Anyways this is just my two cents from someone who has had the same hose for over ten years and mine doesn't kink or give me problems at all.

Work smarter not harder.

WtH people actually use their hoses that way? I am apparently L A Z Y as F

Kinda ironic how one of the selling points of the Flexilla is that it's kink-free, yet that's one of its worst flaws.

Anyone with a nice home and yard like this is going to invest in a good hose reel its foolish not to

1:21 into video, "If you're lazy, and just wanna pull the hose all over the yard, then it's not for you." I dunno what happened after that. I stopped the video. k, I'll keep shopping.

I call bullshit! Those were knife cuts in the other hose.

Replace “Lazy People” with “Stupid People”, say it like it is dude

This guy obviously hasn't heard you get more with honey than you do with vinegar! Lol! His basic review is "only lazy people think this hose is bad"! Lol!! While it may be true,it's a really stupid way to get people to buy a hose he is being paid to give a positive review on!! Lol!!

All other yellow hoses are imposters. Don't be fooled

NO ITS REALLY ALL IN THE ADVERTISING... IF A HOSE IS BEING ADVERTISED AS AN ANTI KINKING HOSE THEN THATS WTF EXPECT BECAUSE 9 TIMES OUT A DIME THAT COMPANY IS GONNA MAKE ME PAY EXTRA FOR THAT PARTICULAR FEATURE 🤷🏾‍♂️

10 min. to discuss a garden hose. You must be bored out of your mind. You failed to perform your due diligence prior to your review. I own 4 flexzilla hoses, (3 - claimed 5/8" dia. and 1-claimed 3/4" dia.); unlike yours, mine actually get exposed to sun light (S. Texas sun), and YES, they absolutely will fade. Unlike yours which is kept in the shade and obviously rarely used, except for worthless 10 min. infomercials. None of mine are clean, bright and shinny, mine are actually used, regularly. In case you missed the first sentence, my gripe with flexzilla hoses is that the advertised diameter is NOT what they claim, and which you failed to even consider, let alone measure. Flow rate is everything when you have a big yard.

Your being ridiculous. . Get a 13 gallon garbage can and pull it straight to you. And push it in the can. When your ready to use it push the can on the ground and pull it out
