The Flexi Hose is an expandable garden hose that stretches to its full 100-foot length when the water pressure kicks in, then contracts back to about a third of that for storage. The latex core and woven outer fabric keep it light enough to carry one-handed, and it resists the kinks and tangles that make conventional rubber hoses a chore to coil. It comes with an 8-pattern spray nozzle covering everything from mist for flower beds to jet for rinsing the patio, and the fittings are solid brass. Best fit: bigger yards where dragging a heavy rubber hose gets old, car washing, and anyone short on storage space for a hose reel.
Pros
- Expands to 100 feet under pressure and shrinks back for easy storage
- Far lighter than a rubber hose of the same length
- 8-pattern nozzle covers mist, shower, and jet without swapping heads
- Solid brass fittings at both ends
Cons
- Latex-core hoses last longest when drained after use and kept out of direct sun, so it rewards a little care a rubber hose does not need
Frequently asked questions
Does it really reach 100 feet?
Yes, at full water pressure. With low pressure it may stop a few feet short, since the expansion depends on pressure in the line.
Can I leave it connected and pressurized all the time?
Better not to. Draining it after use and storing it out of direct sunlight is the main thing that determines how many seasons a latex-core hose lasts.
Does it work with a standard spigot and sprinkler?
Yes, the fittings are standard 3/4 inch garden hose threads, so it connects to normal US spigots, nozzles, and sprinklers.
Is it heavy to carry when full?
Even full of water it is much lighter than rubber. Empty, the whole 100-foot hose weighs only a few pounds and fits in a small basket.
