It's perfect!  Just what I needed to water a 100 ft strip garden.  After I turned the hose right side up, it sprinkled water a couple of feet high all the way to the end.  Turned the other side up, it could be used to stream water directly into the ground for the same 100 feet.  One caution:  it has the female hose connection on one end, but no hose connection at the other end.  Instead, it features a clip that can be moved along the hose to reduce the length to be watered ... so one can't run multiple hoses in series.  It's definitely five star.  And guaranteed for five years, too.
