Product review (4 stars): An adequate replacement
This is a good quality, flexible dryer hose. I say "good" quality, because I think there might be better, heavy duty, sturdier hoses on the market that my be described as very good or excellent. The big box stores sell a heavy duty hose that may be identical (or may be better).

I thought the foil on this hose was thin and capable of ripping, tearing, etc. However, that was not my experience. I installed it carefully and flawlessly. It looks fine. It works fine.

Side note:
I was replacing a 16 foot, 18 year old dryer hose that was FULL of lint and debris. Almost completely clogged and overDUE for a replacement. May I suggest to those of you looking at this product - do it, but it. Get a new, clear hose. Don't take a chance on a fuse shutting off, or worse ... a home fire. The lesson I've learned - do this every 5-10 years. Don't be complacent.
