I replaced an old, heavy, bright green plastic hose with this one. Not only is this more aesthetically pleasing, but it works so much better than my old one. Very light weight even with full water running throughout it. After I’m done, I run the remaining water through the hose and it shrinks up to less than half of the space the old one took. My old house used to always drip where it connects to the house when the water was turned on but this new one, no drips!
