How flexible is the hose? My current hose is flexible but it wants to go its own way (if that makes any sense).

The hose is one of those chrome colored kinked hoses that is very flexible. I think it was a stiff out of the box but loosened up after hanging in the shower and being used a few times

Someone said it was heavy but I don't think that! Surprisingly light but very easy to manage! But it!

It is quite flexible because of its length. It should not go its own way at all. it behaves more like a soft garden hose . We are very happy with it after several months of use .

Very flexible! The length is so perfect but watch when you hang it back up you don't catch it under your faucet and try to pull it without checking the problem! Great buy! Love ours! Bought 2!

Extremely flexible, rather heavy which causes it to drape easily. Excellent shower hose! Go for it!

The best way to describe it's flexibility is that it is like a hanging looped rope. Works great!

My suggestion to you is not to buy these expandable hoses that consist of the plastic fittings. I've experienced first hand that this hose is nothing but garbage and everyone that I know that purchased one had the same problem (leaks). Continue with the heavier but reliable hose until some company can produce a reliable flexible hose that will last for multiple years.

Not really, just your typical plastic hose. Gilmours headline for this hose is "the last hose you'll ever buy" what they mean is the last hose you'll ever buy from them..... Want a good top-notch rubber hose? lightweight and flexible.....try the Legacy Flexzilla. you wont regret it.

The line your looking at will work just fine as long as your not planning on moving it around and changing the fittings. It is a very stiff hose, if you plan on changing things from time to time I would say to go with a more flexable general purpose hose. That is what I use now because I work with hydroponics and change things often.

As it turned out, this hose didn't work for me because my hose reel seemed to be broken. I'm sorry, I don't feel I'm able to describe it well because it basically went unused. I've kept it in hopes of replacing my hose reel before too long.

This is a very flexible tubing. I've experienced some really stiff tubing, especially when the temperature drops, but this isn't one of those.

Hose is separate-take care to buy the one that is MOST flexible-it's a few dollars more but absolutely worth it

I had a different setup, I had to adapt from 2" hardline to flexible hoses. Everything is available at your local hardware for the transformation.

Though it is flexible, it will stay whereever you position it. Been using it for about 3 months now, it is very good and the flow is excellent!

That is that is how I use mine and it works fine. My son uses it most of the time though. You may have to hold it with one hand and wind with the other until the hose gets back on it 20 percent.

Honestly, I hold it the other way around if I am cleaning the derriere. It works well for me. Sometimes I don't aim it properly and get a bit of water all over the backside but no biggie. Just dry it off and go. It works well but get into the habit of turning off the water valve when not in use. If there is constant water pressure on the hose... It will bust after a few months. Happened to me but they sent me a new right away.

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.

I think the key to flex hose is NEVER leave the water running and the nozzle off.. The hose isn't made to hold the force of water and you close your nozzle at the end and then your water pressure splits the hose. Mine has lasted more than one season, but I read and followed the directions

Okay, here's my followup. I took the hand held shower head off the hose, and turned on the water - there was no restriction I could detect. The only thing I still find mildly disappointing is that the hose is somewhat stiff, and has never straightened out, or lost 100% of it's 'memory' of the coil and bends it came with. On the other hand I can't find a smooth white shower hose of this length at any bath shop or home improvement store - so I can live with those flaws. I will however keep my eyes open for a better hose to replace it.

The hose is not very flexible, expect a 90 degree bend to be around a 15 inch radius. I ordered ten feet and it came rolled up in a box that was around 30 inches square. I had no issues getting it installed over the insert fittings on my boat.

It's fairly flexible........I roll mine up like a sleeping bag and store it in my closet. Hope this helps.

I'll say for a high pressure hose it's fairly flexible.You will not find a high pressure hose that has an acceptable level of flex in conparison to low pressure hose.. There are some that are slightly more flexible but you will pay a much higher price in my oppinion.
