LOL, I know, I went through several expandables one summer. There were times when I only got one or two uses out of them. Hard to believe they are still selling them. They were nice for scrunching down into a small pot though. The Zero G and the Rapid Flo are more like regular hoses, they do not flatten once they are used. But they coil up so much easier than a heavy hose. My husband was sure they would tear up the first time we used them and he fussed because I bought one but after he washed the car the first time with one he went back and bought another.
