I've only had this hose for short time, so I can't say much about how long it lasts. But, I really like it. By accident, I got a longer one than I needed. This turned out to be great because I use it to clean my shower and wash my hair. The hose is long enough that I can turn off the water and still use what's in the hose, which saves water. I didn't think I'd like a hose this much. Also, because I'm not very big it's easy for me to use since it's not heavy even when water is running through it.
