The hose was excellent and made it around most of my home no problem. The fact that they shrink up makes up that gigantic heavy plastic one's from the past. With so many on the market it's hard to know which one to get. I have used it about four times to far. It does come also with a hook fixture to hang the hose if you choose. I gave it four stars because the Sprayer was really cheaply made and I have to replace for a good one. If you have one already that is made of good quality then I know you will love this hose. I have another for the other side of the house. It is only 25ft. It is good for the short driveway. I was they included a better plastic for the house support. I did feel the plastic was not solid.
