We go through hoses quite a bit because we do a lot of gardening and washing our cars. This hose is pretty sturdy. As far as quality goes, I will admit that it really seems seems very durable. The dog tried chewing on it a little and didn’t tear! Honestly, the thing I didn’t like about it is that it says it’s kink free, but that definitely wasn’t the case here. It kinks up quite often. That’s the main downfall. It’s very lightweight and easy to tote around, but the kinking is just frustrating!
