20 Best Lightweight Garden Hose 100 Ft (2022 Updated)

Why didn’t I get this sooner? This hose is so much easier to move around and resists kinking so well, I can’t believe it took me so long to get one. I can’t say I like the color but as the homeowner, I appreciate its visibility even at night, since delivery folks have to walk up my driveway to get to my front door.

…. and I have massive numbers of pots and planters delineating my property line by my driveway that need the self watering reservoirs filled regularly. A fluorescent green hose becomes a safety measure and a reminder of liability.

So I’m ok with obnoxious hi-vis green. BTW, I’m a fixed income senior with a back disability so having tools that work for my situation is not just a convenience but a necessity. The key takaway here is Flex in the name is no exaggeration.

You can’t lighten the water weight but this hose makes dragging it around your property much easier.

In the past 20 years I’ve had many cheapy garden hoses at home which cracked or “beheaded” in less then 2 years. There were not too many other choices because “cutting cost” was the only theme in the market.

Now, finally I found this high-quality hose that was made in Taiwan. Yes, Taiwan. Not only does the country ships high-tech computer chips, it makes top-quality everyday products. Light-weighted, very flexible, well-made connectors.

There’s no water-leak on the connector when I hook it to the sprinklers or spray nozzles. Working in the yard is a pleasure now – – Even under the Texas Summer Sun.

This hose is so cool! When it isn’t being used it is so small and compact. I can see that being beneficial for so many reasons like the elderly, people with small homes or no garage. Something like this just makes sense.

No more lugging bulky and heavy hoses all around the yard. When its filled with water it expands a lot and reaches pretty far. The outer rap is durable and tough. The ends are made of high quality metal, not plastic, so they’ll last and last and not snap off or crack.

It comes in a nice mesh, draw string bag to keep it all together and dry. There are some specific instruction on storing it so be sure to read those through carefully. The final part of this set is the sprayer which is impressive as well.

Many sprayer setting to click through to find the stream you need. I used to buy the cheap plastic ones and ever year I would have to buy a new one because it would crack or break. What a waste! This one is a heavy duty metal construction and built to last.

This is the perfect set for anyone NO matter their situation. This is such a high quality and useful kit to have.

The Flexon Expandable Garden Hose Kit was exactly what I needed for my house. It is compact when stored and turned off, expands when filled to a respectable 50 foot length, and has better brass fittings than I’ve seen on any other comparable set.

This gives me peace of mind to know it won’t start leaking at the spigot. The nozzle has a variety of settings for any watering application, from mist to shower, and everything in between. I’ve used it for gardens, as well as property maintenance and cleaning, with great results.

A plastic hose hook is included with the kit, simplifying storage and eliminating the need to buy extra parts. This goes the extra mile! Overall, I’d say the Expandable Garden Hose Kit is an essential part of my property maintenance supplies.

I suggest that anyone who needs to save space with their equipment, but doesn’t want to sacrifice quality, should pick one up.

We have 4 hoses around our garden. This hose has lasted 4 years and in that time we have replaced at least 2 Gilmores which are quite a bit more expensive than this particular Flexon. it only finally gave up the ghost when, in desperation to find a hose nozzle that didn’t leak, i purchased a Nelson.

This monster weighs nearly 2 lbs, is very unwieldily at 8-1/2 inches long and as a result put too much strain on the hose connection causing it to leak. i will not be using the Nelson nozzle again, anyone want a boat anchor ??? note: Gilmore would not honor its lifetime replacement warranty, another reason i switched exclusively to the Flexon.

My long hose was too cumbersome for small jobs so I bought this hose to use with my pressure washer and on the patio. I love it!!! It’s nice and pliable, does not kink up easily, and is very manageable at this length.

Great quality. I recommend.

A good hose. I noticed the same plastic smell others have described, but it isn’t terrible. Connection ends are a little thin and it’s obviously not a heavy duty product. But it is what was advertised.

Overall a good hose.

We were looking for a garden hose that was as durable as traditional hoses but with the flexibility of tubular insert hoses. I had never seen nor heard of this hose; however, the reviews were so good I had to give it a try.

We haven’t had it long but it is truly everything described in the reviews. It is so easy to wind and unwind and I can extend it without struggles all the way across our yard (we live on a half acre lot).

It’s really BRIGHT but that doesn’t bother me. People at the store thought it was funny though.

Delivered broken. Tightened everything up. Turn on the water valve. Boom! One end popped open soaking water all over. Bad quality control.

Claims that it won’t kink, and the it rotates to release coils. What a load of baloney. Every time I use it I have to pull it all the way out and unkink it. The ten year old hose I replaced it with still works better.

After this summer, I’m throwing it out and getting a new regular hose. Don’t buy this!.

First take on the Craftsman Rubber Hose 2021: Pro: It shows many of the qualities that kept me loyal to Craftsman hoses for decades. Con: It is not the same hose that I purchased as recently as 2015.

In March 2021, I purchased a Craftsman 5/8 in. Dia. x 100 ft. L Premium Grade Black Rubber Hose, despite some negatives in recent reviews. It still seemed that best value available. Compared to my 2015 Craftsman hoses: 1) It is covered in black gunk, which will get you and your clothes grimy.

I hope this is temporary. 2) It is more prone to kinking, both by hand coil and hose reel, than the older Craftsman hoses. 3) Overall, it seems to be not quite as good as the older Craftsman hoses. But I still bought it, because other highly recommended rubber hoses are either unavailable (e.

g. , Continentel) or significantly more expensive (e. g. , Dramm Colorstorm). So, while it does not see to be quite the same product as in past years, it still looks like the best value for money available.

This garden hose seems sturdy enough but nowhere near the quality of the older Craftsman branded hoses that I have. It is good quality and i had no issues with black goo on it like some reviewers complain about.

like all garden hoses, especially black ones, if it sits and I run it through my hand im getting black dirt, but that’s not particular to this one. It seems strong, durable and Ive had no problems with it.

I’ve bought rubber hoses before. Living around Denver, it can turn very warm or very cold quickly. Rubber doesn’t fight near as much in the cold, and is really nice in the fall when temps warm during the day but vinyl still fights.

However new, out of the box it’s a coiled snake that doesn’t want to change. Straightening in warm weather will tame it. Just expect it when new. I always figure seldom bought, but frequently used items are give the most satisfaction when one spends more for quality.

So neat!! I bought three different sized hoses and love them all. They are especially lightweight which, for an older person such as myself, makes things easier to do without dragging the hoses around.

They don’t kink. They have not had any leaking problems except for the fact that you might need an extra washer in them because the threads are not long enough to meet the washer in some instances, but it is an easy fix.

Have only had them a week, but am very happy with them. However, it should be noted that you need to buy these from an authorized distributor. I initially bought some from a very well known store (they used third parties), but not an authorized one, and that seems to void the warranty.

On the positive side, these particular hoses came from an authorized distributor and were able to be registered and have 2 year warranties. I am a very happy customer.

I bought this 100 foot and loved it for a couple years. This year its leaking badly from the middle of the hose! What happened to all the advertisements running it over nails etc. calling it unbreakable???? Not so! I also stored it in the garage over winters.

Not happy as I too thought the investment was good for more than a couple years. now what??? I don’t have the paperwork at this point so I’m screwed. So much for trusting a promotion that turns out to be just another bunch of BS!.

I am amazed by this Bionic Steel Hose. It comes with a 5 year warranty. It is truly built for extreme weather conditions. It can’t catch on fire or crack. You should buy one of these hoses. This one that I got is 25ft and is very well made.

I like how it is steel so if you ride over it in a car it still will not crack or leave a hole in it. It will still work also. I like how I can leave it out in the winter since it is ice resistant. The performance of this hose is great.

It is kink free and you can wrap it up easily. It is crush resistant thats why I got this. This is a must have. I will not purchase anymore rubber hoses. This is the only hoses I will purchase for now on.

I ordered another one for my backyard. My wife uses this hose to wash our cars and garden and she loves it.

highly recommend NOT BUYING this. it has not lasted even as long as a typical cheap hose. I use it indoors in a bathroom shower so ithas very moderate use and it developed leaks near the end. the box on mine says “lifetime warranty” yeh right! I think it was a year or more ago that ibought it but for price and real gentle use its a garbage product.

DONT BUY IT. the website is shady about even finding return and there is nothing for “warranty” it is actually illegal to print lifetime warranty on the box when you do not have one.

The expandable garden hose is very innovative and affordable. I was worried that it might be too weak to last comparing to latex hoses. However, I was happily surprised by the thick and solid core and brass connectors.

To ensure the assurance, it comes with 90 days extended warranty and 12 months limited warranty. I wish it was life time warranty, but it is better than nothing. I love how quickly the hose extends to 100 feet from 33 feet.

100 feet length is ample for almost any use. At the same time, 33 feet when it is closed is really easy to transfer and store. Also it does not take space. I love the hose.

We have an 8000 sq. ft lawn/backyard and I am always on the lookout for longer hoses that are lightweight so it’s not an additional chore just lugging the whose around. The HydroTech 75′ expandable hose is just that! In addition, it has a neat, strong connector for additional sprinkler/spray accessories that works great for our trees/shrubs as well as for the lawn.

The bonus is no knots or kinks. My previous hoses even if long, weren’t so well thought out AND burst fairly quickly. We’ve been using this hose for a little over a month now, on different water pressures and with different accessories with no issues.

Also, no leaks!! which is yet another feature you think every hose comes with but HydroTech actually delivers. When done with watering simply allow the water to drain out and it shrinks down to its regular lightweight self.

All in all, super happy and hoping this hose goes a long way! ;).

Well I got this for my back yard and I really needed it but I ended up getting it as a gift or giving it as a gift to my sister as she had her dog eat up her last hose. This one is extra sturdy so that I think it will protect the dogs from chewing it up so she was really grateful that I found this one.

It is also really long so it goes across the entire yard to reach her garden with no probelm. It is really flexible and easy to roll up and store away. I will be buying another one for my house on my next orders at walmart.

I am very happy and pleased with the hose overall, it is really easy to get on and off the attachments as well. It comes with a couple extra washers as well which is really nice. I was really pleased that it came with the nozzle too so you can pretty much use it as a pressure washer as well to clean things out in the yard.

I really can’t wait to get mine. I also noticed on the ordering page that it comes with a year guarantee as well. You couldn’t ask for something better!.

This review has not been influenced by gift card offers. I have had the 100′ hose for 14 months. The rubber do-hickey at the connector (keeps hose from crimping at the connector) came loose right away.

It has multiple snags in the fabric cover. It developed one pinhole leak which I can’t locate because the fabric cover gets wet and hides the leak location. The hose is lightweight and easy to move around.

Water pressure causes the hose to expand, BUT once the spray nozzle is opened, the water pressure is released causing the hose to contract. End result is me tugging on the hose to keep it stretched. Won’t buy again.

This expandable hose really surprised me with how durable it seems to be. I have had these expandable hoses in the past, but they were very thin and cheap and did not last long. I have only had this product for a couple of weeks, but it seems to be very well made.

The hose is really lightweight and contracts to a very small hose that is really easy to store however, the material is thick and very durable. When the hose expands it is very sturdy but nearly impossible to kink.

I have used this hose daily for a week with no problems at all. The hose comes with extra gaskets to make sure you get a watertight seal so that you have no leaks. This is a great hose. I highly recommend it.

Great value with real brass fittings. Not as heavy as our previous hose, but that is a good thing for my wife to move around. Seems sturdy enough for our home use. For me, the brass fittings are a must.

A while back I bought a hose with aluminum fittings which in the course of time welded itself to the brass spigot (if you wish, you can search for “problem with aluminum hose fittings” for a discussion on galvanic corrosion).

In short, I called our plumber who replaced the spigot. I could have replaced it myself, but thought that he may have had a trick to release the fitting without replacement (he didn’t). Also I found how to unwind this hose without leaving it with spiral loops.

When I left the wound up hose on the ground and started pulling it out, it came out in spirals. This is the same problem with unfurling fishing leaders. I tried applying the solution used with fishing leaders and picked up the wound up hose and unwound it backing up holding the spooled hose on an arm.

As it came off the spool of hose it lay flat without spirals.

Garden hoses cost a lot. However, Harbor Freight good garden hoses are a good money value. This hose is not going to kink up and bend until it gets old. This garden hose price was probably half the cost of lower than the same length and thickness rating of garden hoses at the other two BIG name Hardware stores.

We actually bought a hose, for the same price at the big name store but it was the bottom of the quality and durability of a garden hose which would easily kink and plus did not connect well to other hoses and the outside faucet water bib.

This is a good buy.

Been disappointed in most recent hose purchases. Stiff when cold, easily kink when warm, poor connectors, etc. This hose isn’t immune to the first two gripes, but seems more resilient than most. It has yet to kink and easily coils.

Connectors seem solid; time will tell. A good buy at regular price; even better when on promotion. Purchased a pair to extend my collection of temperamental 100 footers w/o going overboard. :).

These are amazing hoses! They are light weight yet durable, which is a great aspect of it. I feel that due to the fact that they are stretchy it helps to increase the water pressure out of the hose. The nozzle on it helps as well.

Ive used it to do some mild pressure washing of mildew off of my house sideing. The fact that it shrinks when the water isnt in it makes storage much easier and the hoses does risk kinking because of the flexibility of the material.

Pros 1. The material is good quality. It doesn’t tear easy. 2. 50ft is fairly long. However if you have a long backyard like I do, you will need 2 or will need to move it constantly. 3. The seal is tight and doesn’t leak water.

4. The spray head is unique in that you can adjust the water pressure by pressing the small lever at the end. Cons 1. So far none, so I give this 5/5 stars. Overall rating 5/5.

I was so excited to get my Bionic Force Pro garden hose. It is so lightweight and easy to place anywhere in my yard and garden yet still give full water force. After watering you easily wind it into a small pile, no tripping over heavy cumbersome hoses.

It came with a spray nozzle that is great with different spray control by just twisting. Love it no more struggling with heavy hoses.

Being a Tool & Die Maker, tool designer, and a lifelong garden hose user, the Zero-G is one of the most poorly designed hoses I’ve ever seen or tried to use. This hose excels at KINKING, despite the band of what appears to be some kind of plastic or rubber that runs along on side, full length.

But this last-ditch design effort to keep the hose from twisting doesn’t work. So, the hose easily folds and cuts off the water’s flow. And because of that flaw it makes this hose very difficult to use unless it is unrolled for its full length.

So, don’t fall for its good looks, like my wife did, not her fault.

Fabric hoses have been around since the expandable/retractable ones that were so widely shown on TV. I have purchased 5 of them and 4 of them have broken some as quickly 2nd use. They were replaced under warranty.

I still have one left for light duty use watering the plants around the front of the house. I have purchased 3 or 4 metal clad hoses with 2 of them having been replaced under warranty – I have 2 of those remaining for emergency backup.

Now the ZERO G -TERRIFIC hose light weight very strong and durable. Bought the first one (100 ft) out of necessity and it lasted one whole season with heavy use – then another whole season of heavy use – now almost through the 3rd season – still the perfect hose – light weight & very durable so I bought a second one 50 ft -the perfect length for its permanent location for watering plants – just bought the 3 one 100 ft.

Won’t ever buy another hose ZERO-G for me. A little expensive but worth every penny.

I’ve had this for several years now. It’s the best hose I e ever owned! We do winterize and put this away for winter. I’ve never had a link with this hose, we’ve had no leaks, cuts, wear or tear in all the years.

The best part is putting it away. It’s super simple to shut off the water, spray out all the water from the hose and then we hang it. It’s super easier than the plastic hoses. I bought a second one last summer for our back yard spicket!!.

So much better than the ones made of cloth. We purchased two of the 100 foot hoses because we have rocks on the ground completely surrounding our house and the garden area. The cloth hoses would snag on the rocks and easily puncture making water shoot out in several places.

We also like the sturdiness of being able to drag these hoses out further into ‘the woods’ which surrounds our property. This makes it easy to water the evergreens and birch when it gets hot and dry here in Alaska and the fire danger increases.

Not this summer, but a few summers back it got to 90 degrees and lots of fires/smoke in the air. Stop wasting money on those retractable ones. This hose will last for a long time!.

I’m giving a 4 star for super fast shiipping!!!! , But for the flexzilla garden hose I’m giving only 1 star because I like the color, I was very happy when I received the hose, but that change when I removed the hose from the box, I started unrolling the hose and suddenly the hose started to kink, so I kept trying my best to make the hose straight, but went I was done getting the kink out, them I pulled some more of the hose to keep unrolling, and the hose started to kink again, so I kept trying and trying again, and kept having the same problem again, so I decided to connect the hose to the faucet, thinking that maybe went to be more easy to unrolled the hose, but it’s was worse, because the water made the hose very heavy, so was more difficult to unrolled, the hose was 100 feet and maybe I only unrolled 50feet or less, I was so tired that I quit,and the next day I returned the hose back to the store.

The details that I read about the hose said that the hose won’t kink,and also said that flexzilla swivel grip garden hoses are engineered with a lightweight flexible hybrid polymer which lays flat,eliminates kinking under pressure.

and because that information I purchase the hose, because I wanted a hose that will not kink, but I made a mistake buying this brand. I will not recommend this product.

This is probably the best 50ft hose I’ve bought. Once the sun warms it up and the curl relaxes it, it’s easy to stretch it out to lay out flat. Rolling it up is better that other houses. Heavy but flexible and one of the pluses is the house can be used for drinking water.

There’s always a kid out there that turns on a faucet outside and drinks water from a hose when those hoses are full of chemical compounds that makes them toxic to drink from. You won’t regret getting one.

This hose is heavy. It is not easy to pull around the yard, simply to water plants. It does kink up. It took me a half hour to untangle the hose after removing the packaging. I found that I have to pull and pull on it until resistance is met — extending to the length of the hose — before it will un-kink.

On the plus side, the swivel connectors are great, the hose color is nice, and the hose is durable. (I have only had this hose for a few weeks. ) I wanted to return this hose, but it would be too difficult to re-package.

Well, just the name got me looking; Flexilla?!! I liked what I saw. It has touted as never linking-not exactly true, it can kink…for a second and then it rolls and straitens out. No more ‘dented’ hoses that have restrictions because of the inferior materials.

This also re-coils like a dream. Ever get into a knock-down-drag-out with the garden hose, trying to twirl it wither onto a hose hanger, in a hose box or just in a neat coil on the ground? Well, I have.

It isn’t pretty, or fun. Sometimes there are even colorful metaphors blurted when, while twirling the hose like a lasso, because it will only coil in a certain direction, the hose slams into your shin or knee cap, abject pain ensues.

Not with this hose. I’ve actually purchased 4 100’ hoses so far for the homestead. You won’t be disappointed and your shins will thank you.

I was disappointed with this hose. It is on the heavy side and it is not as flexible as it appears it would be. It also kinks in at least 2 places when it is first unrolled. In order to prevent the kinking, it needs to be stretched out unwind with all the loops out of it, then it can be stretched out without kinking.

That is just too many unnecessary steps, before it can be used. Whether empty or full of water, it is not very flexible. It may be suitable for someone needing a shorter hose, but at this length it is way too much work to use!! Nothing wrong with the store, only this particular hose.

The Flexzilla hose will kink but typically just a mild pull and it untwists. It does resist kinks when under pressure better than five other hoses I paid as much or more to purchase. Many hoses claim to be commercial grade but you spend your gardening day unkinking them.

This hose is the best in its price range in my opinion.

I bought a 100’ hose roughly 5 years ago and have had zero issues. It’s been stored outside in -40 and lower in Yellowknife, NT. 5 stars on that one still goin strong. I bought a second 100’ hose for my backyard roughly 3-4 months ago in May of this year.

This particular hose lasted 3 months before the end crimp let go in the evening and flooded my backyard until I noticed in the morning. This particular hose hasn’t been through freezing temperatures nor has it been over used.

So for that hose I give a 2. Gave an overall of 4 because they are still sweet hoses, nice and flexible.

Yeah, cool name, and a very light, bendy hose. Save you money. After one year, I’ve never seen a hose kink so badly or so often. For the first month out of the box, it was great. Nice and springy, just flipped itself over like a puppy.

It doesn’t take long before it gets soft and floppy, and just keeps kinking all the time, everywhere. So frustrating. There’s a reason it weighs so little! The rough outer surface means it gets (and stays) absolutely filthy.

I don’t really care about the looks, but these hoses are supposed to have mold issues as well, so it’s hard to say what’s dirt and what’s something worse. And lastly, mine is already leaking. There’s a blister forming on the surface, and water is slowly (for now) seeping out.

The company’s so-called “customer service” is not interested in even replying to warranty claims at all. I had to cut out the leaky section and splice it. I’m sort of hoping it will give out completely so I can buy a quality hose.

Well worth the extra cost. It winds up nicely. It is a soft material so it will kink but as long as you unwind it properly, it won’t kink on it’s own. It feels like good quality material. It is somewhat elastic but I would advise against pulling it with a great deal of force.

The only hose I’ve had that I like better than this is an industrial grade rubber hose that I’ve had for years which was quite expensive.

I purchased four of these hoses. Two had the same flaw, a gash four inches long, twenty feet from the end. The first two were from Costco and were fine. The last two were off the internet and had the flaw.

One provider on Amazon charged $20. For the return of the flawed hose. If you get this hose, buy it from Costco and not from a third party provider. You will pay a few dollars more at Costco, but it the hose at from Costco is flawed they will either replace or refund all of your money.

You have a fifty percent chance of returning it. When this hose is not flawed from the factory it is a wonderful hose.

I bought two of these hoses. I was excited as my neighbor has the same hose and it is so lightweight and easy to handle. Unfortunately mine were both defective. They leaked behind the connectors. Not a little but poured out.

See the picture. I think when these hoses are not defective they are great, just have to get one that is NOT defective. Wish I would have because I like the hose. There isn’t a way to put new connections because of the make up of the hose.

What an amazing hose!! I spent a lot ofon this babyI guess you get what you pay for but this is exquisiteI am surprised!It does NOT kink or fold so water flow is constant!The metal pieces on the end must have been made by a scientist/jeweler cuz they actually FIT!! I am really impressed! YES, BUY THIS HOSE!!.
