Review on πŸ’§ Flexzilla Pro Water Hose 5/8 in. x 100 ft: Lightweight & Heavy Duty, Reusable Fittings, Drinking Water Safe by Nicholas Suave

Revainrating 1 out of 5

TERRIBLE! NOT the great product it used to be!

I bought the Flexilla Pro hose about five years ago. It was and still is a great product, flexible, light and, most importantly, very kink-resistant for me. I was so happy with it that I bought 3 more for other sides of my garden. The new hoses are TERRIBLE. If you stretch them over 20 feet, they buckle in 4 or 5 places. If you remove a crease, it will crease in two other places. It's also impossible to roll up (it sort of has a mind of its own, twisting and twisting into unmanageable configurations when you try to roll it up). The only visual difference between the old hose and the new is that the old hose had a decorative black stripe running its length. But I suspect that Flexilla's marketing took some significant cost-cutting measures that turned what was once a great product into an incredibly bad one. If you just feel the two hoses you can tell a definite difference: the old hose feels much more flexible and yet doesn't kink when you try to bend it. The new hose is very stiff, but will kink with the slightest movement. It kinks easier than those flimsy dollar storage hoses. Take my advice, BUY SOMETHING ELSE!
