I needed a lightweight hose to water my plants in my yard, and to wash my car with. The Bionic Flex 50ft hose was everything that i needed. I thought it would be heavier considering how sturdy it is but it was just like carrying air. I love that main feature of it. There are no leaks. There were some kinks initially but it was so easy to unkink. It is also a space saver because i can roll it into a small pile. Great product.
