Another customer with a similar negative experience.
After reading the negative review regarding length and usable state, I conclude the reviewer was not being reasonable. Unfortunately, my experience was the same. If you have used this type of product you know of the compression issue and the fact that the product in a usable state in not the full stated length. That is true of all flex hose. However, two adults could not get this stretched beyond 9' 4". And, in a usable state the item was barely over 6'. That is beyond reasonable and frankly a misrepresentation. If you buy this thinking you are receiving a length that in practical terms will net about 8' you will be out of luck.
Excellent Product
I purchased this to replace the hose that ran between my lawn tractor and the lawn vac. It's normally used for woodworking equipment, but works great for this purpose. It's good, heavy construction, but very flexible. It's a great value and I'm entirely satisfied with it.
Fall Cleanup Has Gotten Easier
We have lots of trees around our home, so when autumn arrives and leaves start to rain down on us, cleaning them up becomes an ongoing process until the trees are empty. So we bought a used Agri-Fab leaf vacuum to attach to our zero turn mower. After some modifications, it worked great except that the hose kept coming off. That's when we ordered the Woodstock see-through 10-foot wire hose at Amazon. It was half the price others wanted so we were a little concerned that it might be flimsy. It arrived quickly and seemed pretty sturdy. My husband attached it, (it was the perfect length), and it worked perfectly all through fall cleanup. Plus, the idea that you can see through the hose makes it easy to see the location of a stick or clog up. We had no clog ups so didn't have to deal with that. It worked great at half the price, and we're happy...autumn cleanup is done!
