 Great leash July 23, 2010
Kim M. Colt (Surfside Beach)
I've purchased Flexi's over and over again. I like the cord better than the tape because I live at the beach, and my Flexi gets wet a lot. Can't go wrong purchasing this product...
 Very well made product; great price July 20, 2010

You'll notice that Amazon aggregates all of the reviews for the various Flexi models together. The actual product being reviewed is shown just above each review.
I've been using Flexi leashes for the last 15 years. Two dogs, two walks per day per dog. That works out to about 22,000 walks!! Where does the time go?
My second Flexi just failed, so this will be my third. Eleven thousand walks per Flexi strikes me as an excellent mean time between failures.
A one-star review by "D.Youatt" states that his Flexi was made in China. I can't speak to other versions and colors, but my new one is labeled "made in Germany." It has the same feel of quality that the first two Flexi leashes had.
Several of the reviewers express a strong preference for the corded Flexi leashes. That's the old design. My experience is that the newer design with a flat tape (my second Flexi) operated more smoothly than my original corded Flexi and also had a longer service life. My recommendation is to prefer the tape over a cord, but suit yourself.
You should be very conservative with the weight limits in selecting a Flexi leash. The upper end of the weight range should only be used if your dog is a complete marshmallow. The more active the dog, the more you will want to de-rate the weight limit.
You also need to let the leash dry out if you want a long service life. Whenever the tape gets damp on a walk, pull the tape completely out of the housing and set the lock. Let it dry thoroughly. Then retract the tape slowly and under control before storing.
Takes a beating and keeps on working June 29, 2010

I have a 15lb dog that doesn't pull on leash. But this Flexi retractable leash has been perfect for us. There is just enough spring to keep any slack of the lead off the ground and also enough so my dog knows he is still connected (if he thinks he's free, and then he'll keep going :)). I have dropped the Flexi so many times and it's pretty beat up but it still works perfectly. The ratchet works great and it stays locked if applied. I'm always pleased when I buy a product that goes beyond my expectations.
Excellent Leash June 27, 2010

My dog weighs 72 pounds and I own 2 of these leashes and will most likely buy more. The cost is great and the quality is fantastic.
 After 3 months... useless. June 25, 2010

Bought this from Amazon 3 months ago. It was a fantastic price... 30-40% less than Petsmart. However I've only had it 3 months and the tape is frayed and about 10 millimeters from breaking. It is right up near where the tape attaches to the collar so it cannot be from chewing or rubbing up against anything. Amazon won't take it back so I have to buy a new one. Question is do I pay $40 at petsmart because they will take it back after 30 days or buy another one that only has a 30 day guarantee from Amazon? I am huge fan of Amazon but this return policy sucks.
