Flexon Flextreme Pro 5/8" x 100ft Performance Rubber Garden Hose – Heavy-Duty, Kink-Resistant, All-Weather Flexibility, Industrial-Grade Couplings, Durable Outdoor Watering Hose for Lawn & Garden

I knew that rubber hoses are superior as you always see them used in the garden centers and by professionals but they typically use the heavy red rubber hoses. The problem with even the best vinyl hoses is when they do kink, and all hoses can kink, they have a memory of the kink and that spot will continue to kink and weaken. As far as I can tell this hose even when it does kink has absolutely no memory and thus remains like new. After several years of using mine and storing on a hose reel it still looks like new. I tried the highest rated vinyl hose (which apparently is no longer made) and it was a good hose for vinyl but did not hold a candle to this one. I hope they don't stop making it. Like another reviewer I just received my second hose and its different than the first one ordered 2 years ago. The surface is shiny and thinner compared to the old one. I don't believe this second hose is rubber, it sure looks and feels like a typical vinyl hose. All I can say is what a shame. The couplings are top notch - O ring, spring strain relief but what a waste if the hose only lasts a few years. Update 7/2023 - The vinyl hose burst after only 1 year. Its not any better than a typical hose you get at the home center. This is not a rubber hose despite what the description says. I still have the rubber version of this hose bought in 2021, I use it almost every day and its still functioning.

This hose is not rubber. It is synthetic rubber. It is stiff and very difficult for me to handle. I had to add flexable extension just so I could set them in raised beds. I would not recommend them. It would not feed into my hose winder as it is too stiff. If you are old and frail do not choose this hose. You have to be strong to use this hose.

This 100 ft hose is durable and tangle free, I’m very happy about this purchase as it is a high quality hose that I use daily.

Really heavy duty great quality only reason it got 4 stars is because it's a bit stiff and hard to deal with/roll up also the connectors can be hard to turn when tight could year better grip on the slippery metal

This is a fantastic garden hose. No kinks and affordable.

I recently purchased the Flexon Flextreme Pro 100ft rubber garden hose, and overall, it’s been a great experience. The hose is really sturdy, with a thick rubber material that feels heavy-duty and durable. Unlike cheaper hoses, it doesn’t easily wear out or crack. Even in extreme temperatures, it maintains good flexibility without becoming stiff or brittle, and I can still use it during the winter. The kink-resistant design works well, and I rarely encounter tangling or water blockages. The industrial-grade couplings are tight, and there’s no leakage, which gives me confidence while using it. However, there are a few downsides. First, when I first opened the packaging, the rubber smell was incredibly strong and unpleasant. It took a few days of airing it out outside for the odor to subside. Also, the hose is quite heavy. Moving and coiling the entire 100ft hose is a bit of a struggle, especially for one person, and it can be tiring to manage. Overall, if you’re looking for a durable, all-weather hose with excellent performance, this is a solid choice. Just be prepared for the strong initial odor and the hose's heavy weight.

This is not high-quality hose. I don't think it is rubber hose. The webpage says it can handle 350psi. This hose can hardly handle standard water pressure connected to my outside spigot. It will kink and is difficult to maneuver once it expands due to the water pressure. I bought it to replace an old rubber hose I bought at Sears like 10 years ago. This hose will not last 10 years I suspect when winter hits and there is any water left inside it will crack or split. Should have ask for a return but I chalk it up as just another item from Amazon that fails to meet the webpage description.

Over all... OK... but, Kink-Resistant it is NOT... i have laid the hose out in the heat to help .. doesn't change a thing.. hose becomes very hard to roll up {if it will roll up} kinks very easy.. my opinion not worth the money.. but better than what i had..

These hoses are Harvey duty , would buy again

Muy bien producto

The binding that held the hose were tight I now have permanent kinks in those areas that won’t come out. I didn’t expect this for the price I paid . Very disappointed

Empezó a torcerse al segundo mes de uso aún cuando siempre se enrolló adecuadamente , la manguera sola x su mala calidad empezó a torcerse x todos lados en un sentido y en otro , es pelearte con la manguera cada vez q quieres usarla , imposible hacerlo , es un pésimo producto , no cumple ni de cerca la calidad y características de su publicidad , es. Un engaño !

This hose is made of a polymer and not rubber as described. Very stiff and not flexible. Good quality male and female end connections. Kinks very easily and because it's not rubber the kink stays in the hose and will not come out. Gets worse in the cold. Very hard to work with as the temperature drops. I would pass on this hose. I'm buying a new one as my 30 day return time has passed so it's going in the garbage.
