I got this hose to hose to replace a "professional grade" 1 inch diameter hose that was very cumbersome to move around when I water the garden. I have another Gilmour Flexogen 50 foot hose that didn't quite reach and that is the 1 inch diameter version. I still like it but it wasn't long enough. So I tried this 75 foot 3/4 inch diameter version and it is perfect! I can move it around the garden with no issues at all because it's light-weight, doesn't snag or kink, and is very flexible. My 1 inch one is still flexible in winter so I expect this one will be too. The water flow isn't quite as fast as with the 1 inch, but is still excellent. I hang the 75 footer over a hose bracket in large loops so I don't get any problems with tangling. Just pick up the number of loops you need and walk away, dropping them on the ground one by one. The hose hardly gets twisted at all. So when I'm done, I just go to the bracket and pull the hose in a loop-length at a time and I'm done. The hose is very tough and has a slick finish that doesn't snag and stays cleaner than other hoses. There's also a life-time warranty - just cut the ends off and mail them back and Gilmour will send a new hose! I don't think I'll ever need to do that though as my other hose is still like new after three or four years. The only two small downsides are 1) the hose came in a tight roll so the very end was lightly kinked, but the kink has pretty much disappeared and is no bother, and 2) for a month or so, when I first use the hose, the water that has been sitting inside it has picked up some traces from the hose and should not be used to fill a bird bath - it bubbles a bit as if it's a little soapy until you've run it for 40 seconds or so. I'm thinking of getting another of these for the front yard. Highly recommended.
