Garden Hose Questions

I’ve always used the absolute trash green hoses. My current one is not long enough so I’m looking to get a 100fter. Anyone have any recommendations? If you also have a reel you prefer I’ll take those suggestions as well.

Eley makes top notch reels and also has polyurethane hoses (no kink variety). Some of the best money I've ever spent. Their products are expensive, but you get what you pay for. Great warranty.

I think I have a different type/brand hose on every outdoor spigot - 4. . By far, the Flexzilla hose Is the best of them. LINK. It can kink, but very seldom. Remains pliable in the dead of winter. Won’t keep that bright lime green color forever. Two other brands of non-kink hoses I have kink more often than the 1 non-kink hose I have. Now that I’m using hoses again with spring, I’m going to get a couple more Flexzilla’s - fed up with the other crap hoses.
I’m also done with plastic hose reels - break, constantly leak, fall over when in-winding hose off the reel, ..... Bought one of these a couple years ago, and I’m happy with it. LINK. Plan to buy another, and looking at other free standing metal hose reels options where I don’t want to wall mount. I know these are good, but $$$$.
ETA: Forgot to add the link for the $$$$ Eley hose reels LINK but I see others have noted their quality, and made in the USA as well. As the saying goes,”buy once, cry once”

Just make sure it is 100% Rubber. Will pay more initially...

They last a couple years before kinking

It’s always amazed me how often nozzles break. They seem like simple little tools that, esp if made of metal, should last forever. But nope.

I have a couple Goodyear rubber hoses that are at least 9 years old. They were pricy but obviously worth it.
ETA: not sure if they still make them though.
