Flexogen Hose

2008-07-21
I found that this hose was just how amazon described it. The hose is a little stiff but doesn't kink as much as a normal hose. I also own one of the neverkink brands and this is a little stiffer than those hoses for comparison. Knowing that I have a lifetime warranty that company will actually follow through with is a great piece of mind for me!

Don't waste your money on Home Depot hoses

I replaced a new hose that I bought from Home Depot with this product. The Home Depot hose immediately leaked like crazy from its fittings. It was also very stiff and hard to untangle. This hose doesn't drip at all. It is flexible and feels high quality. I will only buy Gilmour hoses in the future.

Buy once, use forever

I bought several of these 20+years ago when they were still owned by Gates. After several years, the male ends started leaking a little bit, I replaced the ends with heavier duty brass ends by Nelson ([...]) & they still work perfectly now. I believe they come with heavier ends now. I could have sent the cutoff ends in for free replacement hose under the lifetime warranty, but haven't since the hoses themselves have NEVER failed and I continue to use them w/o leaks or problems. Hose remains flexible and has never become worn or brittle from weather exposure. They are easy to roll up unless the weather is really cold. I would definitely recommend and would purchase again (if I needed more). They don't seem to have gone up in price either.

Great Hose

This hose is very flexible and very easy to roll-up. It is the best hose I have ever used as a homeowner.

Leaks from end connector

2008-03-23
Bought this from a local hardware store. Leaks from the end connector. Tried to exchange it but all they had on hand was the next model down. That one worked but after four years it cracked wear it bends to fit my Ames hose reel. Next time I'm trying a different brand.

THIS IS THE BEST DARN GARDEN HOSE EVER!!!!!

2007-09-23
Out of all garden hoses I have ever used, this is the best one I have ever put my hands on. It is perfect for water games with my grandchildren, and it also is still very flexible after a cold night out in the open. I have 5 of these wonderful hoses, and they don't kink at all.

Gilmour flexogen makes a great thank you/host-hostess gift

2007-09-23
I recently stayed at a friend's beach house where the hose was crimped and difficult to use (I know as I watered their plants). So, I ordered this hose (I have two 50' ones here where I live), and had them sent to my friends' home. It is an untraditional gift, but much appreciated. It is true, however, that the material used is not as good as in the older hoses. My new ones crimped after a year or two.

The hose does kink

2007-08-10
I am a long time customer of Flexogen. However, they have changed something in their hose production, maybe less layers, maybe a softer plastic compound, but the hose that is not suppossed to kink does. I still love our hose and it doesn't kink as bad as less expensive ones, but it does kink. Wish it was the same as the ones I purchased ten years ago.

A nice hose.

Gilmour hit a home run with this hose. Very nice and durable. Lightweight. It will kink but very rarely and only if you don't take normal precautions such as removing twists in the hose. Its really great at letting you get a full flow of water going. Large diameter connectors do not restrict flow as in some hoses. What good is it to have a 5/8" hose if the connector is only 1/2" in diameter? I think you'll like this hose if you order it. I like mine.
