We're an older couple, so dragging a heavy hose around the house to water flowers, grass, etc was quite exhausting. The Silver Bullet resolved that problem for us in a big way. And, its much easier to store as it deflates. We bought the 75 foot hose. Almost tangle proof as well. Downsides: before water is entered into the hose, the extended length of the hose is under 50 feet; 42 feet to be exact. Once water is entered into the hose, it does grow quite a bit. The 75 foot hose didn't grow to 75 feet, however; more like 65 feet, unless you tug on the hose to really stretch it out, then, we're back to fighting a heavy hose that wants to retract itself. We regret, now, that we did not buy the 100 foot hose size. What I ended up doing is putting a 10 foot regular, short hose to the faucet, then attaching the Silver Bullet to it. Also, the female end of the faucet connection is made of soft plastic instead of metal; not good. Once the plastic threads on the hose are damaged, getting a real seal on the hose to the faucet becomes a big issue. That's always been my experience when plastic threads connect to metal connections. What I'll end up doing is buying the male/female metal hose connection and just leaving it attached to the hose.
