    Do NOT Buy
    Black Mold developed even tho I live in Phx, AZ. Hose has a memory. It gets gooey when it's hot out. Drink from it or fill your dogs water bowl? Think again. I think it's toxic. GARBAGE!

        End blew off immediately under pressure
        As soon as I added a nozzle to the end of this hose, the end just blew off. I have the same hose that I bought 2 years ago and it has worked great so I figured I’d get a second one. Maybe quality has gone downhill. A hose should be able to handle having a spray nozzle. Otherwise what’s the point.

          Great product for all backyards
          I purchased this 50ft hose for use at my house to wash cars, water plants, and clean the patio. So far, I have been extremely impressed. The hose does not kink like other kinds of hoses. I am not very careful when wrapping up the hose (as you can see in the picture), and haven't had any issues that require me to carefully lay out the line to avoid kinks. I wish I had discovered this product sooner!

            Hose has Memory.
            Beginning instructions say to hook up hose, then unwind completely before turning on water. Hose came wound backwards with hook up on the inside of the coiled hose. It was a tangled mess trying to unwind from the outside of the coiled hose. Video said hose has no memory so it's easy to rewind into a coil. NOT TRUE. It HAS Memory. It was very difficult to re-coil. It kept twisting and curling the wrong way. I do not want a hose that I have to fight with every time I use it.

              A Glaring Problem!
              While this hose came with glowing reviews, it has a Glaring Problem: the hose uses aluminum ends, which is a major problem with most spigots made of brass. Once the aluminum on the hose corrods--and it will--it attaches to the brass spigot that almost everyone has on their house. The aluminum will be physically attached to the brass spigot and be virtually impossible to loosen. The only way to remove the hose will be with an expensive plumber visit to cut off the spigot and replace it. It simply is not worth it and in the pics, you can see where the hose kinks--unlike what the company tells you--and where the aluminum end meets the brass spigot from my house. If the company were not so cheap, it would use brass ends. The company makes the excuse that aluminum allows the hose to be drinkable, but this isn't the 1970's. Most people aren't looking at their graden hose as a watering hole to guzzle from. I know I won't drink from a hose and the FDA says it's a great way to get a bacterial infection. We have sinks in our house for a reason.

                Do NOT GET THIS!!
                First off, you must stretch this to full length out of the box, or it will not allow flow with multiple kinks. Ive never had a hose that kinks so much. Used about two weeks and it burst.... Why does’nt HomeDepot get a better hose? Definitely do not recommend it!!

                  Bad hose connections
                  I use this hose for hooking up to a pressure washer. The hose is light weight and is colored for good visability. The only issue is that the hose came off the barb connectors on both ends after one use. I had to refit the hose to the connectors on both ends with clamps. I would not recommend this hose if you are not able to repair it when it breaks.

                    Terrible Terrible Hose
                    This is the worst hose I have ever purchased. All it did was twist and kink. Just an absolute horrible hose. The manufacture says " Flexzilla Garden Hose doesn’t fight you when you coil it." That's all it does is fight you to try and coil it. There is no coiling this hose. This was a big waste of money. SHAME on Home Depot and the manufacture for even trying to sell this piece of junk. See pictures that don't lie! This is my true and honest review of this terrible hose. I purchased this hose online from Home Depot. This hose get's a minus 1 review from my hands on experience.

                        Product broke after 2 years of use
                        This item has a lifetime warranty and I did not use it recklessly. It should not have broken after only 2 years. I will change this review if they honor their warranty.

                          Exceptionally High Quality
                          I ordered the 10 ft hose to use with my pressure washer. As soon as I took the hose of out of the package I could tell it is very durable. The fittings and the hose itself are very high quality and I don't foresee any issues with this hose. Easy to screw in, secure, tight. I am very happy with my purchase.

                            Excellent hose! Well constructed, great price, does the job. I was surprised that despite its heavy duty appearance it's pretty lite. This hose works extremely well with my new Suncast 100 ft. Powerwind Automatic Rewind Hose Reel.We will see how it holds up through the season.

                            Failure - 75'
                            I purchased this product one year ago. It's used normally in my residential garden. It's never been abused and is coiled properly after each use. Recently, a gusher appeared mid-hose so I contacted the manufacturer. I was told this is -not- a defect. Huh. Their written Lifetime Warranty is apparently less useful than toilet paper. I'm asking them to reconsider and if they do, I'll definitely update this review. They should honor their warranty. Check out the photo for yourself.

                              Flexzilla 5/8 in. x 10 ft. Garden Lead-In Hose was perfect for use intended. I've had it about two months now and it looks good and doesn't kink or leak. The bright color makes sure no one will trip over it. I purchased a 5/8 Female-2-Female adapter to connect this hose to my hose reel. Yes I would recommend this product

                              This is the second 100' one that I bought. Originally purchased one for the front of my house. The hose is lightweight, easy to pull off my hose reel and doesn't kink up. After using the first one I liked it so much I bought another one to replace the hose that was in my yard.

                              Works great, no leaks. The 5 foot length is perfect to allow from some adjustment of position of the hose reel- moving it from a storage position to an "in use" position without having to disconnect the Lead-in hose. If you don't need to move your hose reel or hose storage device, then the 3 foot Lead-in hose might be sufficient.

                              The Flexzilla 5/8 in. x 75 ft. Garden Hose is the BEST GARDEN HOSE EVER! It's very lightweight, super flexible, and has excellent water pressure. We have had this hose for around a month now with daily use and it's far superior compared to just about every other hose out there including heavy solid rubber hoses. It is kink free, however it's winded up very tight from the factory so it takes time to stretch out the loops which cause temporary kinking but once it loosens up, it becomes an AWESOME HOSE! I had the choice to buy it at an other online store for the same exact price but decided to go with the Home Depot so I can easily return it if I had to. Give this a AMAZING hose a try out and be patient with it and I'm sure that you'll love it. Forget about those cheap quality expandable hoses and GET THIS ONE plus it's great for our Elderly gardeners too! A big Thanks to the HD for even carrying this hose!

                                I have now purchased two of these hoses. One for my front yard and one for the back yard. I was looking for a hose that was not difficult to move and put away. The first was for my front yard and after a few months of use I decided I liked it so much that I purchased one for the back yard. It is easy to connect with no leaks or drips. It is flexible and does not kink like your normal hose would.

                                  I really wanted to like this hose, as I like the softness of the hose. Unfortunately, it is like wrestling a uncooperative snake, not unlike the manufactures website video of a competitor's hose! With hose fully pressurized, the hose has too much memory of it's coil position, and it will not extend out very well. It does kink at each coil, shutting off the water. This can happen at least 8-10 times while trying to extend the hose. I find that the only way I can get it to keep water flowing through the kinks, is to run the hose completely out...all the while twisting it to get the kinks out. Once I get it fully extended out I have the same problem trying to coil it back up. The hose has to be rotated in order to do this. I tried doing it pressurized and non-pressurized. Either way, I end up with an uncooperative pile of tangled hose. The only way to get it back into the large pottery container (where I keep the hose) is to run the water out of the hose, remove the hose sprayer end, keeping the hose laid out straight (which is hard to do as I have to have it in the street); then I twist the hose while trying to coil back up into the holder. It may work better in a hose reel that uncoils the hose at it goes out and comes back in, but it does not work it you want to manually coil the hose. It is much worse than the old plastic hose I replaced.

                                  GOOD-is great for its quick way it unkinks itself after a quick tug of the hose. BAD- it quickly got a black fungus on it. It seems to be permanently stained......If you don't mind an ugly stained hose, it's good for its ability to unkink itself. Hopefully the company will address the staining issue. I do prefer this hose over my Craftsman, Gilmour and Apex hoses- though it is ugly.
