100' garden hose recommendations
Posted on 3/21/23 at 11:55 am

Please suggest down below. Looking to have something I can use across the yard since we don't have a sprinkler system
UPDATE: got the 50' Flexzilla. Works well. We'll see how it is when I start running multiple hoses when I have to water the yard

I don't know about brand, but spend the money and get a thick heavy duty one. Every lightweight one I've ever bought has done nothing but kink

I have the tan one from harbor freight. It’s been solid for 3 years now.

just get 2 cheap 50' hoses connected together
the 100' hoses arent any better but they are more expensive and a handful to deal with using and saving.
if you dont learn this lesson now, you will after constantly struggling and fighting with your 100' hoses for years

I’ll second the two 50-foot instead of one long 100-foot.
But I’d probably go quality over price.

Get two 50' RUBBER hoses and a reel to roll them up for storage.

I have high water pressure and have busted a few hoses, any recommendations for something heavier duty? My PSI is around 120 at the faucet.

Put a regulator on your faucet.

This is the one I bought from Lowes. It's a thicker diameter hose and seems to be doing good so far.

Eley. Expensive, but I have replaced all of my hoses with Eley over the years and they are incredible. The reels are fantastic as well.
These are great too, but they accumulate mold and require cleaning a couple times a year. Jomax works.

Third on the 2 50’ hoses. I have a 100’ and I hate rolling that heavy bastard back up.

Thanks for the reminder. Just ordered two 50' Flexzilla hoses.
Fourth... I also have the 100' Flexzilla and can confirm.

I'll also add that I have 2 125' Eley hoses and they are great, but if I didn't have their hose reels, I would not want to fool with them.

I switched to 100ft expandable hoses about two years ago. So easy to drag around and roll up.

Mine has not mildewed at all. Still that high-vis yellow.
But I do have a couple of the Eley hose reels. Expensive but worth it. They really thought that reel out well.

My flexzilla has a black sticky substance that has formed on it. Love the hose but probably going to toss it in the garbage

What brand? What are the best brands of these expandable type hoses? Do they hold up well?

I got one from Sams last year. I think it was $35 or $40 for a 120’. It’s been good but is a smaller diameter.

Flexzilla
I have four of different sizes. The only one that had developed the black mildew/ mold is the one I've let sit on the ground. All the others have been perfect shape. Hardly ever kinks. I refuse to spend the money on eley even if they may be the best thing out there. Home gardening is a hobby not a profession for me.
