A little damaged
The 50' is not as in the picture. It's actually two 25' permanently join together. It's at this joint that mine got damaged a bit due to how it fold as in the picture for shipment. It didn't brake, it's just not "round" (it got dented) and I tried every way I could to get it to pop out but couldn't. Anyway, for my purpose the little damage won't matter much. The other two spot that bend for shipment (just like in the picture) unfold fine. I give 3/5 for customer service cause I didn't contact customer service. The damage is not a big issue nor the issue that it is two 25' join together. It falls a bit below my expectation but it's fine for my use. Installed and call it a day.

    Thinnest plastic I've ever seen in 20 years!
    This is the thinnest plastic I've ever seen in 20 years of buying drains! Absolutely not "professional grade". Kinks super easily, see photos. I don't know how anyone rates this highly unless they have very low expectations. Returning this plastic garbage.

      Used this for drainage on my side yard. Although it says it’s a solid pipe, it’s not. Started leaking after a water test.

      Good flex drain
      Flex drain worked as it should and served the purpose. The connector to attach more length did not fit, but made do.

      Works well
      I needed something to route the water from the gutter a few feet away from the house. This met my needs.

        Not 25’ long
        Fully expanded, the pipe is 21’8” long. Fortunately this (barely) worked for my application.

          Worked out fairly well for a quick fix. The adapter used to attach the pipe to the downspout did not fit tight. Used duct tape , (handyman's secret weapon) to connect them.

          This is an excellent toy for young children, as they can extend it and use it to play with toy cars to shoot them down the staircase. Also, they like to yell into one end, while another child hears out the other.

          This worked perfectly for my need to extend my downspouts away the house. It cuts easily, bends, extends & collapses for easy summer storage. I've purchased 2 more since my original purchase.

          I installed it about one month ago and have no complaints. I like the fact that it is retractable according to need. There has been no heavy rain since it was installed, so it has not been strongly tested, but I don't anticipate any problems.

          I needed to divert water from a downspout with additional product, going on the drive way to water some bushes. works good when raining. Save water and money by changing the flow of the water with the Flex-Drain.

          This is a light duty water transfer pipe. I had a rainwater collection project to fill my pond and needed some thing cost effective to connect into a main line. This pipe fit the bill. I saved about 50 -70% of the price on a heavier duty pipe cost. Just remember this pipe is not meant to have any heavy traffic on it, You really want to install it in a no traffic area. I ran it down the side of house. It was super easy to install just stretch it out dig your trench and cover. This type of will bend and over around tighter curves much easier than the heavier stuff making it a lot faster to install. I had a about 2 inches of rain the next day and the pipe performed as expected with no leaks.

          Just What I needed
          The downspout from my roof gutter runs under the lawn and dumps off a bluff above the creek. This was a wet winter and the bluff has been terribly eroded. I plan to attach this pipe to the PVC and run it down the hill. One of the benefits of this pipe is that the ends are different sizes. One end screws nicely onto 4" corrugated pipe. The PVC is 3 inches, thus an adapter will have to be glued on to connect this pipe. The expanding nature of this pipe provides easy shipping and easy transport when bringing it home in the car. Being flexible it will conform to the contours of the bluff.

          Does the Job
          During the crazy Portland flooding, my dry well started backing up and water went directly in to the window well. Had a short piece of piping leftover from last year that wasn't long enough, attached the 25 ft to the shorter pipe and got the water away from the house. Not the prettiest sight, but it has held up over the last month and will probably be used for another month or two.

          Perfect Timing
          We have a deck and yard project and needed to move all the water from the house gutters to the back pond. We used this pipe underground with extensions off the soon-to-be-deck for further collection in to a system that moves it out past the property line. All the water from the gutters are funneled into three water tanks and when they fill, the overflow goes into this pipe and travels under the new retaining wall. I don't have pics of the progress, but this is what the final result is. Now for the deck!

          The gal who helped me was Aces! She found and retrieved the items from a top shelf when the display was sold out.

          I was expecting a whole piece of pipe. It was two 25 feet pipes connected together, which was not informed in the description. Actually I bought 2 25 feet pipes before I ordered this 50 one.

          Dont bother THIN plastic
          I am not one for 1 star reviews. This pipe is thin, spend the money on the thicker corrugated piping. Service and delivery was great, but the product is a 1 star. good for above ground gutter downpipe extensions, thats it......i couldnt imaging burying this, it would collapse with the slightest weight, especially with stone. i had 4 of these in my cart, but thought, since it was free shipping, i would try one. Good thing, otherwise i would return them immediately. Keeping the one for the downpipes on my garage, as thats all its good for. Read the other low star ratings for the SAME reason. not worth the price i paid to be honest.

            Only works with Amerimax drainiage products
            Non-standardized proprietary system of drainage parts - does not work with standardized 4" corrugated pipe, or ADS product (doesn't fit downspout adapter or NDS catch basin). Poor quality - deformities and thin wall. Home Depot, please bring back ADS flex drain pipe - superior quality & standardized.

              Disappointing and a waste of my time
              Found it in stock @ 1 store within driving distance. Bought it, along w/some connecting pieces. Went home in hopes of using it that day. The connecting pieces didn't fit together without some deformation/gaps, which no one wants when seeking to divert water. Additionally, while trying to connect pieces, one connector had a rip in a seam as did the 25' length of hose. Had to return it, and ended up wasting the time spent shopping, as well as that returning. Went to 'big blue' where I found a thicker product and where connectors fit together much better. I will never shop for this again here.
