Product review (3 stars): Great Length Bad Taste Without a Filter.
The hose was the perfect length to go from under the sink to the back of the refrigerator. I selected this hose because the 10 year old plastic tube had started to leak and I needed something that would hold up and not flood the kitchen. Installation was easy and the coiled hose straightened without any issues. I flushed at least 10 gallons of water through the hose before connecting it, but 3 weeks later the ice still has a strong taste and smell of 'hose'. I hope that an external inline filter will fix the problem since I don't want to go back to plastic or copper tubing.
UPDATE:  I added an ECOPURE EPINL30 In-Line Filter that fixed the taste and smell problem in about 10 minutes.  I wouldn't recommend buying this hose without installing a filter.
