It gets hot down here in Georgia and so I like to water my plants daily to get them through our long hot summers.  This hose saves me so much time everyday and just makes the whole process less laborious.  Without water in it, it's very light so I can unroll it and get it into place quickly without the challenge of the weight of a regular 100 ft hose.  Once the water is added the hose quickly expands, I can do my watering and then for pack up I simply empty the water from the hose and it automatically shrinks and I can quickly  store it away.  If you are looking for convenience I highly recommend this hose!
