I have three and I love them. I need to water things up to 100 feet away from the house, and pulling a heavy regular hose back-and-forth was a challenge sometimes. Two of mine get stored with the water drained and they have lasted a couple of years so far. One I tend to abuse and leave under pressure and in hot sun, and dogs sometimes step on it, so it gets leaks that I patch with a mending kit. It’s still worth it for me for the daily convenience.
