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

Works well, a little stiff but worked well with the pressure washer. The water coming out does have a rubber smell and never went away after months of using.

I have never had a hose just go bad like this and I have hoses from years ago still in use, repaired, dinged, chewed, frozen etc. but still usable. I have never had a hose just fall apart laying there. Even the cheapest light weight have never just fallen apart like this. First it kinks like it was made to kink. Second after less than six months I look off the deck and see swollen spots everywhere and a burst area. It simply self destructed after normal use with normal water pressure. I wondered for a moment if my pup had chewed the hose as I couldn't believe it just burst laying there. But, one my pup is small, two there are no chew marks. This is the worst cheap quality hose I have ever experienced.

Well made, you can tell it's made in the United States.

Haven't used product yet, I buy items early knowing I'm going to use them eventually. Description was accurate connector to faucet was advanced with a coil keeping from kinking ,hose itself is heavy duty more nylon threaded also to keep from kinking " right" . Real reason to buy was 100ft. Faucet's by front door , like hosing garage out . I have a 50ft. For the front, so also bought a splitter to attach to faucet,to leave Both hose's attached easy on/off , wasn't going to roll out a 100 to water yard, it's poly combo with time I'll see if crack's, kink's, 50 is all rubber Uniroyal nice, but twists funny 5ft before sprayer, have to twist it around not very forgiving, no biggie use to it now, see difference between two material's this summer, doesn't matter, they're never be a hose that doesn't kink.

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.

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.

I bought 4 of these at the same time, the first hose lining split after 1 hr of use, the 2nd after replacing the first lasted a total of 6 hrs, and the 3rd I didn't allow to bust after witnessing the lining to bellow up. The issue seems to be at the end connection, where the rubber lining meets the metal. Even using lower than typical water pressure, there is some kind of defect at the start of the hose that allows water to flow between the outter lining and the inner lining. If left for more than a few minutes the outer lining will bust within the first few feet of each hose. Wasted $150 on hoses that can't even be repaired because the issue bellows the entire hose if not caught immediately. Junk! Not Professional or Ranch quality by any means.

The construction is very solid. It does seem like it would last a long time. However the hose is also extremely rigid and hard to bend so it feels very difficult to handle, especially as a 100 foot hose for homeowner use. More of concern though is that when I connected to the hose bib it just leaks profusely. It seems that it just comes with some kind of built-in O-ring, but as I look at it it might just need a hose washer added. But even if this solved the leaking problem I’m going to reread it anyway because it’s so rigid and hard to handle.

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 !

The hose description says RUBBER and it is not. in fact if you zoom in on the package in the pics it is flexible polymer construction; definitely not rubber. And flexible maybe in the sunny south but in a four season climate not at all.
