Is this a better hose than the flex hose? Does it extend when you turn the water on and go back when the water turns off?

This is NOT a flex hose. I have never had a flex hose, but hear that they can have issues. This is just a good hose that doesn't get kinks in it very often. Hope this helps.

No, it is not a flex hose at all, it is just a really nice hose that doesn't kink. It doesn't extend when you turn the water on.

From what I have read about the lack of durability with the flex hoseI would say yes, this is a better hose than the flex hose. As for shrinkingand expanding, no it does not do that. A flimsy hose isn't likely to last that long.

I have never had a flex hose. Consumer Reports, at first, liked the flex hose, but after getting negative letters on it, changed its opinion and doesn't recommend it.I like my 1/2" Boat hose & recommend it. Of course, a regular 1/2" garden hose would also do the job. A hose is a hose is a....

It doesn't extend. It is a 50 foot standard hose that works very well in a auto rewind reel !

I don't know about the flex hose. This is just like any regular garden hose except that it is drinking grade. I use it in the yard because the kids like to drink from the hose in the hot summer. It does not automatically extend and roll up.

No this is a flexible hose that doesn't kink. It doesn't kink or expand. I had two of those expanding hoses and both failed within a few months--They deteriorate if left in direct sunlight and the plastic fittings are weak. The NeverKink hose is far superior.

Yes, it's a standard sized garden hose with regular hose connections. Will hook up to any hosebibb and attachment. I have noticed that I get a bit more water pressure out of the end from the flexzilla then then my old hose. Probably because the hose is smoother with less restrictions.

easily.. this is the best hose i have ever owned, more flexible than a standard hose.

I've been using mine for years and I am glad I bought it. It is mostly easy to use - when you pull the hose out you really need to have the water pressure off so it is easier to let out the hose. That part takes a little effort but not a big deal. It really works great and has proven to be durable.

Hi, According to Flexzilla's website, there is a lifetime warranty on the hose. I left mine out (drained of course) all winter and it's just as flexible as it was the day I got it. They are really good about not kinking as well. I really like these hoses and don't plan to buy any other brand.

Yes. When you shut the water off some of it will come back and splash out of this attachment (and get your hand wet). This is a good thing. Just dry your hand and be glad that the pressure has been relieved from your hose and other more expensive attachments you have at the spigot (e.g., timers).

the hose has a smooth plastic like skin, but coils much easier than the hard plastic hoses. I coil it like a garden hose an have no trouble. Steve

I agree w/the other 3 answers; since it is thinner than a normal hose, it is much lighter. Just be careful when dragging it around - watch for loops in the hose that will turn into kinks if you keep pulling on it (no hose is kink-free in this situation); my wife drags it all over the back yard fully extended to 150' (we have 2 - 75' sections screwed together). For less weight, before you roll it up, turn the water off first @ the house & leave the nozzle open so it drains out so you aren't dealing w/water weight too.

can't answer that I love the hose, its easier to water with, i do empty it after each use, that's common sense if you want it to shrink to its more concise position.

Haven't tried that model. Love this one though since you can easily adjust how far it goes in either direction. Works great and timer is huge plus. My cheap hose is the weak link.

Absolutely! This it one of the best non-kink water hoses I've ever used. It's flexible, but the walls of the hose are stiff enough that it is very difficult to kink.

I did not look when I unpacked it. I can tell you that it has heavier fittings than the normal RV hose. I am going to use it from the outlet to a manifold to which is hooked a filter and pressure regulator, along with other fittings from the manifold. So, I wanted something that could take the pressure. This seems to fit the bill. I am pretty happy with it.

Actually a longer hose is better to control foam just remember to make a smooth run with NO kinks or tight bends or you will have tons of foam. the down side the more hose the more to clean.

Yes. You hook your hose up to it, it comes with a valve to turn the water on and off.

No the 50 ft hose would be best. Trust me, I bought this hose after being very disappointed with "medium duty" and heavy duty kink free hoses. This hose is far superior in many ways. It is lighter and most importantly wil not kink! The way the hose is designed its impossible for it to kink up. Once you get those hose youll better see what im talking about. Definitely if you want a light kink free hose buy the 50 ft. You will not regret it.

Yes I ordered it rather than the on tv expandable hose thinking it would be more durable. WRONG! Note I did not give the first answer I am not Priscilla I am Chuck Lytle and I only ordered one Hose.

I have had my 100 ft Flexzilla hose for a year now. Have no experience connecting another hose to it, but can't see why not! Good luck with it, I think you will be very pleased with your new hose.
