I received this hose and noticed it was light especially for a 75 foot hose. My old one is pretty stiff and heavy and not flexible at all. It was easy to connect to the faucet and when I turned it on, it worked well. Strong pressure and no leaks. Connected to my power washer and that worked well too. I didn't have any problems moving it around the front yard. I've only had it for a few days so I'm not sure how durable it is but so far its been working out well. So much better than my old hose.
