Product review (3 stars): Okay, not Great
It was okay. Thin material, I ended up buying a more rigid piece (for a lot more money) as I don't think this would last long term. I should note, I intended to use this as a replacement for a portable air conditioner that needed a vent hose of 3-5'.  I'm sure this would be fine as a vent hose for a bathroom fan or similar, but not for a portable AC.

I did not have issues with the smell, but I unwrapped it outside and let it sit for a day.
