Best Overall
Flexzilla Garden Hose 5/8 in. x 75 ft.
Our verdict: The conventional-hose choice for big yards.
The Flexzilla is a 5/8 inch hose at the full 75 foot length. Its listing is short on extras, so it is judged on its size and its place in the $50 to $100 bracket. A 5/8 inch bore moves more water than a thinner hose, which helps offset the pressure that a long run loses.
It ranks first because it is the one standard-style hose from an established hose brand, and a standard build takes dragging, kinks and sun better than an expandable. The EOOIO matches the size for less money, but the Flexzilla's name carries weight.
Buy it for large yards and regular watering. The caveats are the $50 to $100 price and few listed extras. Skip it if you want a hose that stores in a small space.
