This hose has an ideal size for use in a bath (1.75m) I particularly appreciate the fact that it is silent in impact on the bathtub unlike flexible metal. And I guess it will not scratch the mixer I just changed! It is a little stiffer than metal models but it is not annoying at all. The shower at the end side rotation system compensates widely and avoid twists. This is also very effective: even with the service shower, he turns without friction and leakage! To top it all, color and texture are very significant and do not wear out (I have another identical flexible in a shower for some time).
