Very good hose overall. We use it most commonly with an older Sears large wet/dry shop vac. It is a far more practical hose than those provided with most vacuums; it has a far better combination of flexibility, length and resistance to crush (including under vacuum load) than the other OEM or replacement hoses available from Sears and several other manufactures. Be aware though that it has a smaller hose diameter than typical 2-1/2 vac hoses and that it does not come with an adapter to directly fit the female intake ports on 2-1/2" hose vacuums. You will probably need at least a male to male adapter.
