Cheaper than any other replacement parts I've found. I noticed that some people had quality issues. We haven't had any issues so far and if we have I figured I could replace it a few times at OEM price and still come out on top. We use ours about four to five times a week, pulling the hose in and out, and a year or so later it's still holding up. **UPDATE** Well it finally broke. We had 2 years and 3 months so like I said for the price of the original part I could easily buy this a couple of times. I am still very happy with the purchase and have just ordered another one as a replacement!
