fast, easy and works well
Very high quality hose. Comparing the one I was replacing with this one and it's night and day. This one is thicker with a slightly rubber coating. It stretches and compresses nicely.Very easy to install. It had the adapter I needed already included. I'm not a plumber so I was not prepared. Took me all of like 15 mins to install.

Excellent Product
I should have purchased this flexible drain and trap before wasting money and time on a replacement metal p-trap and necessary fittings to connect to an offset sink outlet. For one thing, it is difficult to find replacement fittings that thread onto the drain. I was afraid this product was similar to the compressed flexible connectors that just snap into different shapes. This hose is good, heavy rubber, and can easily be trimmed to fit exactly as needed. The stepped end to the sink outlet simply slides over either a 1/2" or 1/4 pipe as needed, and is secured with the included hose clamp. The drain end comes with a reducer if needed for 1/4". Trim the drain end to size and the hose end itself acts as a compression fitting. Very sturdy product, excellent thorough instructions, and simple to install. My mistake not trying this first. It looked too easy, but it really is.

Works great for difficult drains
Purchased this to replace a drain that was a bit misaligned. Easy install and perfect fit. Would buy again.

Easy and cost effective solution to and old nagging problem!
I've plumbed 20+ sinks my days and this, by far, was the easiest and best solution. No need to wiggle and shimmy and force plastic or metal pipes into just the right position you need. The flex tube solves all those problems. Gone are the concerns about one or more of the joints not sealing underdrain flow. The most recent sink drain was offset (off-center) by about three inches. That would have required an elbow joint or two to solve. The flex hose was perfect.Two observations:1. The connection to the drain pipe in the wall is a little finicky. Make sure you cut off the flex tube nice and even and as it says in the instructions, in the trough of the flex tube. This way you have a nice flat large ring surface to snug up against the face of the drain pipe. I put in a bead of silicone just to make sure it seals as you'll often have some standing water in there.2. The connection to the sink down drain pipe varies w/ size. The flex pipe has a step down. Make sure you find the right area to sinch the finger screw pipe clamp. Again, a little silicone won't hurt here.3. A little concerned that the ribbing on the flex tube will trap too much hair/junk and clog. But worst case is I'll buy another kit and swap it out in 20 minutes.Overall this is my new go-to p-trap drain kit for sinks going forward.

Excellent design!
Installing the plumbing was the last step in our remodel and I didn’t have room for a typical p-trap. This simple design is an excellent solution! I am pretty handy but by no means a plumbing expert, and this was so easy for me to do myself. I got it done on the first try with no leaking. The instructions are clear and self-explanatory. The hose is good quality and easy to trim with scissors. I used a little plumber’s tape on the threads on my out-going drain pipe. I am so happy that I got this done in 10 minutes and did not need to have my handyman come back out to my home! And a very reasonable price point as well!Addendum: ok, so i found a slight leak at the junction at the plastic nut and the outgoing drain pipe. I bought a zinc nut at home depot (see pic) and used it in place of the black plastic one with six turns of plumber’s tape. No more leaking.

This is a lifesaver
Used this on some complicated shaped plumbing structure, life saver! Easy to install, even for a beginner

Simple but better than traditional?
For starters, this thing bolted in place quick and in just a few minutes time I had a functioning drain. The part I dislike is the threaded end to connect the hose to the 1-1/2" drain is thin and I had a hard time getting it to thread on straight. Once on, if you go far beyond snug it will skip threads due to being made from thin plastic. As for the bend, I feel like it is tough to get the "true" ptrap bend and it end up being more of a curve rather than a bend, this will of course depend on your specific setup. Overall it is not bad, quality seems decent but I will likely swap back to a conventional ptrap. This was just to get me by but if it hold up I may keep it.

Fixed my difficult plumbing situation and saved me a ton of money
A new countertop/sink remodel resulted in a weird misalignment of the drain on the sink with the plumbing underneath the sink. I've done quite a bit of DIY plumbing under sinks, but this one was a real head-scratcher. So I called a master plumber to came take a look. He gave me an estimate of $800 to fix this the traditional and correct way - basically, redo everthing under the sink starting with the back wall. After he revived me after I fainted to the floor from his estimate (thanks, acting classes!), he told me about this easy DIY way to get the water from point A to point B, which is to just use a flexible hose of some type. I looked in the big box stores and couldn't find anything that looked like it would work, so I explored the interwebb and found this perfect rubber hose solution. I actually didn't use much of it though, as I chose to keep the PVC P-trap and tubing to the wall and just a short piece of this rubber hose to get from the sink down to the P-trap. Works like a charm - several months later, everything is still leak free. This rubber is thick-walled and doesn't feel like anything could ever go wrong with it.
