Product review (5 stars): Really neat hose
I've used the fairly rigid versions of dryer hoses before, but this one is extremely light.  It comes in a little box and then flexes out to an easy 6 or 8 feet.  (6 easy, 8 might be a bit stretched, but it'll make it)

The clamps are super easy... way easier than the old screw type clamps.

If this whole unit LASTS as long as the old rigid/screw clamps, I'll be happy.  Time will tell... but we should replace these out every year or so anyway, so I think this rig will work well for you.  I love it... so far, so good!
