Is it a soft rubber and not those stiff vinyl hoses? They don't mention how soft rubber it is. Thanks!

it is.. it sat outside during the winter months and it's still working fine. Its not a heavy duty commercial flex rubber hose.. but for the price point its very worth the money~

It's not solid rubber but pretty stiff as a bungee style rope goes. Not lots of give. I would have to dismantle fittings to double check to be able to say with 100% certainty one way or the other. Unfortunately, at this time, I just don't have the time to disassemble my outdoor application. It fits my application well but you might have other criteria which requires a solid rubber core.

Well, I am not sure if it is rubber, but it is a velvety smooth composite, not plastic. It is very soft to the touch and keeps the dryer from slipping in your hand or off the counter.

Hose is separate-take care to buy the one that is MOST flexible-it's a few dollars more but absolutely worth it

It is plastic. the hose is metal. Still working well for me, and looks almost like new! (only because I have hard water, so there are some spots)

It does lose some flexibility when in the cold which I would expect and my hose has been exposed to zero degrees. What I would do is take the hose to a warm place, then quickly take it to the cold environment after you have warmed the hose and hook it up in the cold environment . Unless your going to move the hose around in the cold allot I think your going to have to live with the stiff hose. I hope this helps. Jeff

Hi Steven, Mine came with the older style standard rubber type hoses. Quality seems quite acceptable.Regards......

Most customers find that this is a flexible and not stiff hose.Melanie with Goedekers

I bought this hose last summer and so far have not had a problem. However, I don't use my hose too often and after seeing other responses, I am concerned. I also paid $50.00 for my hose and I like it because it never kinked. The company should have replied to your complaint and this makes me feel that this is not a good product.

I have no idea what they are referring to. You get one item with a very stiff. Easy to kink hose. The only thing of any value is the valve.

It's about the same as a regular hose, but it is way more flexible so you actually think it is lighter.

Seems like you are asking how flexible the hose is. I have acquired 4 different brands of 4" dust collection has and this is one of the most flexible of them all. I actually prefer polyethylene hose over this PVC one but for the price this one works fine.

I did not look when I unpacked it. I can tell you that it has heavier fittings than the normal RV hose. I am going to use it from the outlet to a manifold to which is hooked a filter and pressure regulator, along with other fittings from the manifold. So, I wanted something that could take the pressure. This seems to fit the bill. I am pretty happy with it.

It is a little heavy. Not difficult to drag. Much more flexible than composite hose.

JUST REGULAR GARDEN HOSE WASHERS. THEY CAN BE RUBBER BUT MOST OF THEM ARE Vinyl now. GOT MINE AT my local Ace Hardware store. Just go to any hardware store that has garden hoses. They usually have washers, & parts, etc. to repair them too. It really is easy, even for this 71 year old lady by herself.

Yes the hose is plastic... If you move forward with the purchase you must buy the decorative elbow that isn't sent with the slide bar
