Don't use this hose as your only yard hose that you plan on hauling half around the house, hooking sprinklers up to, or other "regular" hose use. It simply doesn't work too well for that type of stuff.However, I am using this hose in the front of my house to water a particular tree and some shrubs that aren't worth hauling the big heavy green house around the house to water them. This hose is real light, stylish, and takes up very little space. It is not the eye sore like the big green hoses. I have even gotten compliments on it from the neighbors. I have noticed that people who use Macintosh computers tend to like the hose the most. What is it with the translucent colors and Mac users anyway? :) It did everything I wanted and more! David Payne

I have sold hoses similar to this at home shows before, and here are some of the distinctions which aren't obvious at first glance.It is exceptionally strong material, and it does hold it's recoil ability. The measured length is at maximum stretch. Because of the recoil ability it takes a little muscle to get there. When it's full of water, the weight effects the recoil ability. The transparent quality of the hose actually lets light inside and can allow the growth of algae. It is a very clean material and is suitable for drinking water. It has a higher PSI rating than most hoses which means it's good under pressure. A few of them together make a decent solar water-heater. The material is polyurethane. There are good polyurethane adhesives which will seal punctures you might get in the hose. One of the other reviews stated that the water pressure wasn't sufficient. There are larger diameter versions of this type of hose available. Hope that helps, Frank Boyd
