Great for replacing a hose that has snapped from deep cleaning, stripping, stretching and constant use, to clean corners, furniture and small spots, re-tighten, undress and trip again will obviously lead to a crack in the tube. I think the replacement is perfect and does the job for the money I paid. I just haven't stretched or used the hose since I replaced it. I gave 3 stars for durability but hey you get what you pay for. But yes, buy that if yours is broken and don't be so rude about replacing it ;)
