I can't say for sure, but I feel people had poor things to say about this hose before.
From my experience, people have bad things to say about nearly everything posted on SD That said, not seeing much as far as negative comments from the FP deal a couple days ago.

Had one of these. The stainless steel cladding makes the length of the hose very resistant to damage, but there are two problems.
1st the interior diameter Is quite small, you can tell that by just looking at the outside diameter compared to the hose ends. So putting that on the end of a 100 foot legacy Craftsman hose makes a perceptible loss of water pressure/flow rate.
2nd, and this is a big problem, it is essentially a metal sheath around a smaller, light weight inner hose. The female end is held onto the inner hose with a plastic fitting that breaks easily. I had two kids, and it didn't last six months. That was several years ago, so if they've fixed that problem it becomes a much better purchase.
This lasted a few weeks before it strung a leak. I'd avoid these cheap hoses. I have had much better luck buying a roll up hose for garden. It stays out of the sun and it stays nice and organized.

I have the 100 ft one. It started leaking a couple of months after I bought it. Customer service replaced it. Still using it, no leaks but the metal has pulled apart in several places.
This hose is best used for a permanent install, like running it under a driveway or through the yard to water a garden bed. The metal layer will break away from the inner hose after enough use. Also it's pretty slow flow rate compared to a normal hose
I've tried a lot of garden hoses and so far my favorite and what seems most durable are coiled polyurethane hoses. They're made out of the material that is usually used for air compressor hoses.
