I bought next to the tube, the Hansgrohe Croma 100 Vario hand shower. Both products were much cheaper than the local hardware store (8.16 euros the hose and 19.54 Euro hand shower). The overall result is satisfactory with swabs. The ends are as already noted here by some rigid, therefore the hose is not movable in all directions. The flexibility and pliability of the hose is hardly given. The name "Metaflex" is unfortunately misleading, since it is a pure rubber hose (?) Is encased inside partially with metal. The sealing rings are included. For this price can and should expect nothing better. All in all ok but nothing more.
