Why do reviewers keep recommending Flexzilla despite mixed reviews?

Across r/Tools, r/HomeImprovement, and r/lawncare, the consensus is that Flexzilla's weight, cold-weather flexibility, and kink resistance are class-leading, which is why it remains a top recommendation. The dissent, surfaced in r/gardening threads, centers on a sticky surface residue and reports that recent production runs feel lower quality than older ones.
