Amazon.com Review

Touted as "the last hose you'll ever buy," Gilmour's Flexogen hose is designed to stay flexible all year long--even at freezing temperatures. The hose features heavy-duty brass couplings to seal tightly, a Flow Guard Plus collar to prevent kinking at the faucet, and double cord reinforcement to manage up to 500 psi without bursting. Its six-ply patented design is reinforced by special foamed inner layers and a smooth, glossy sealed cover, ensuring your hose will stay clean and resist abrasion. Gilmour is so confident about the quality of their Flexogen hose, they offer a lifetime replacement policy.

This review is from: Gilmour 10-58075 8-ply Flexogen Hose 5/8-Inch-by-75-Foot, Green (Lawn & Patio)

I've a great big landscaped yard.
I own nearly a quarter mile of hose of almost every description. I've gotten good service from almost every brand - but only consistently good service from two; Craftsman all rubber, and Gilmore Flexogen. Ergo, those two are all I buy anymore.
I'm obsessively intolerant of leaks anywhere.
The Flexogen hose is the lightest and easiest to handle hose I own. The Craftsman may be a tad more durable, but being black, gets a bit warm in the hot sun.
I'm sure I'm at least partly wrong, but most of the complaints I've read here sound more like operator head space and timing problems than a problem with the hose. I've some over six years old and never had the need to test the guarantee.
To mitigate tangling problems with any hose, I suggest using 50' lengths and LR Nelson's Brass Quick Connectors (I also gave 5 stars). Further, I discourage tugging on a hose to get to that "last flowerbed." An extra section of hose is much cheaper than what the plumber is going to charge to replace broken hose bib pipes. I always leave a little loop of hose next to the bib and won't allow myself to pull hard enough to remove the loop.
If you place any hose on concrete and run over it, sooner or later, it will fail. I don't treat my stuff that way.
I just ordered two more Gilmore Flexogen hoses from Amazon to replace another brand that age has made a bit brittle. Good price, free shipping. What's not to like?

5.0 out of 5 stars Why I don't buy a cheap hose..., August 16, 2000

This review is from: Gilmour 10-58050 8-ply Flexogen Hose 5/8-Inch by 50-Foot, Green (Lawn & Patio)

I'm an air conditioning technician, so I clean more than 500 air conditioners a year. When I got tired of using hoses that kinked, sprayed water over me from leaks in the hose or fittings, were difficult to reel or stow and had squashed, stamped-brass fittings which were hard to screw attachments to, I bought a Flexogen hose. Now I have a durable, leak-free hose which stands up to heavy daily use. It amazes me when I see how many homeowners have practically unusable hoses once the fittings have been run over in their driveway. This hose is (just a little more) money well-spent.

When they say "if you have a problem with your Flexgen hose, simply cut off both ends and send them post paid, along with your name, address, and length of the hose to Gilmour, and they will send you a new one free" they really mean it. I received a new replacement hose in ten days. They even paid UPS charges!
