It may be long, but it's a very lightweight, cheap hose that kinks easily (in fact, the inside coils were already very kinked upon arrival). This is they type of hose everyone had in the 70s--I'd be surprised if it would last a season of heavy use, and I can't imagine it not cracking over winter (even empty).
For comparison, it's like the cheapest hose you can buy at the grocery or hardware store, very thin foldy. If you've bought a new hose in the last decade, this will disappoint you. If I had paid $25 instead of $65, I'd probably just suck it up and use it, knowing I'd have to replace it next year.
But at this price, you'll be much happier buying two shorter, better quality hoses and connecting them with teflon plumbers' tape for a secure seal (and you'll probably save money).
The only upside to this hose is that, since it's cheap and lightweight and narrow, it is lighter to carry around. But I'd rather have a quality hose that won't kink every time I pull it out than one I can tote around (how often do you carry the whole hose around, anyway?), so back it went.
