I have a small farm and use lots of hoses. Of all I've tried, Gilmour hoses have been the best by far. They have superior, solid fittings; resist kinking the best (of hoses not specifically designed to avoid kinking); and have remained the most pliable with weathering. Best of all is Gilmour's lifetime warranty: should the hose ever fail to perform, just cut off the ends and send them to Gilmour and they'll send you a new hose. I've done this a couple times with no hassle. Other hoses want you to have saved the receipt, original packaging, etc. Who does that?

This really is "the last hose you'll ever buy."

I recently bought the 100 foot 3/4" hose from Amazon based upon my previous experience with a 50 foot 5/8" Gilmour Flexogen hose I've had for half a dozen years. I've gotten lazy in recent years and leave my hoses outside even in our -20F (or worse) upstate NY winters. (I don't use the hoses in sub-freezing weather, but I don't bring them in, either). Of the three different brands of supposedly "premium" hoses I own, only the Gilmour Flexogen has held up unaffected by this use and abuse.
When I looked for a longer hose that could sevice the far reaches of my gardens, I did not hesitate to go for the 3/4" Flexogen since I knew that the supple flexibilty and non-kinking qualities of the shorter Flexogen would be even more important qualities in a longer, higher capacity hose. Oh, by-the-way, the price a Amazon was the best I could find, too.

I purchased my first Gilmour hose 12-13 years ago and it sprung a leak in about 5-6 years cut off both ends sent them in and they sent back I new hose---no questions--no receipt. I just sent the ends of that replacement hose to them because it also started to leak 5-6years later and within a week was shipped a new hose. Anyone that does not give this product and company 5 stars just doesn't understand value. This is the last hose I'll ever have to pay for I wish all my investments were this sound!

This is easily the best garden hose I've ever owned. Very flexible but strong, almost never kinks, I can see getting years of use out of this one. Also note that Amazon's pricing is about $30-40 less than you'll see in many catalogs carrying the same hose.

Giving this 4 stars because I was pleased with an older version of this product from Gilmour. The Amazon description is correct, but the picture is wrong. It's the older 6-ply version. The new one, which I recieved today, is their latest 8-ply. Go to the manufacturer's website to read more about that if interested. My hose does not have the blue sleeve pictured in Amazon's pic. The 8-ply does not have a sleeve.

Looks to be a good product. Lifetime replacement guarantee. This hose is 1/8" larger than the typical 5/8" size you see in stores; and it is noticeably bigger. Looks like something you'd see at golf courses or in commercial settings.

The free shipping is quite a deal - $9.99 subtracted. Other garden hoses at Amazon, even some from same manufacturer, have shipping charges because it's done through a 2nd/3rd seller. So, I'd take advantage of this while you can!

First, I am always amazed at Amazon's shipping speed. Lightning quick...always. I purchased the 100 foot hose because of the size of our yard. Usually I hook up more than one to reach to the end. This Gilmour hose is outstanding. I have been using it every day for a month now and the 3/4 inch diameter makes the water flow. Moving the hose around so much all around my yard, usually they get kinked and worse. This hose just does not kink. I will get another one, or two for the back yard next year. The only drawback personally for me is of course the price, but as the old saying goes, 'you get what you pay for'. I got a really nice hose.

Checked the prices at the "big box stores" and only one or two carried the Gilmour Flexogen 8 ply 3/4" hose which was $15 higher priced plus you need to add sales tax.
I ordered this from Amazon and received it in 3 days no sales tax, no shipping. Exactly what I was looking for. I gave it a 4 star rating since I have only used it 3 or 4 times
and would rather review it again after a year or so of use.

Gilmore makes a wonderful hose. Yes, it is expensive, but they will replace it for free, for life. It withstands all kinds of abuse, rarely kinks, and is highly durable. We have six of these durable hoses and would recommend this manufacturer to everyone.

Difficult to find in stores, this Gilmour garden hose is top notch and a quality item. Very difficult to kink, but very flexible and relatively easy to handle. The 3/4" inner diameter size helps with providing optimum flow rate, making water the lawn faster in duration. The time and frustration you save pays for this hose many times over. Highly recommended.

I would recommend this product to anyone with the need of 3/4 inch hose. It offers full flow, very strong without kinking. I think it's the best hose sold in USA. Thanks Amazon for offering this quality product.
