I was excited to try an expandable hose, I am a gardener and have been struggling with a very heavy hose in a largish yard for years.  I was amazed by the lightness of the hose and the ease of use.  I tried to make the hose kink but was not able, which is greatness.  The sprayer worked wonderfully - no water dripping on me while in use.  I already had a hose reel so I did not use the one that came with the hose.   And, it's super fun to watch it expand and contract!
