This is a very nice product for its intended use (albeit one that is rather similar to many others marketed elsewhere). However, please bear in mind a couple of subtleties that may not be obvious from the item description:
(1) The length of the hose is measured at its theoretically full extension. However, the hose never actually reaches this full extension because of elastic resistance (i.e. the very same "spring" effect which is the reason you presumably bought the hose) and torsion along the length of the hose as it is stretched. My experience is that you lose approximately 25% of the hose's length to these two effects. The only way to beat this is by making sure that the hose's rated length is that much LONGER than you need.
(2) Make sure that you have the appropriate adapter permitting you to attach the hose to your faucet. Designer faucets, faucets with hose attachments, imported faucets, and outdoor faucets all may have trouble working with this hose out of the box.

Ontel Products WJET-MC6 Water Jet power Washer - As Seen On TV Review

The waterjet power washer is a hose attachment that creates a jet stream of water. The idea behind it is to give the user the effect of a power washer without the cost. It does not accomplish this, but that does not mean it is not a good product.
Naturally, it can't change the water pressure coming out of a hose without adding power, so you can't really expect it to do that. What the product does is tighten the stream of water coming out of the end of the hose to artificially increase pressure, like placing your finger over part of the hose, but with greater consistency and accuracy. It does this well, but as you can figure, any cheap hose attachment typically has a "jet" function. Is the water jet more powerful than the jet function of a standard hose attachment? Maybe a little bit stronger, but not substantially.
What the product does do well is distance. The jet stream produced from this attachment is slightly stronger than the jet from a normal attachment, and travels about three times the distance. So if you are looking at cleaning the second floor windows, or rinsing something high up, then this attachment would do well. At close range, it is also sufficient for cleaning things like cars, walkways, and other stuff. The extra length means you don't need to worry about bending down if you are, for example, cleaning out a crack in the concrete in order to put in some filler. A true powerwasher may be too strong, and risk causing damage to vehicles, but the stream performed by this is safe, if it hits the skin it is not painful, although I wouldn't aim the water jet at the eyes.
So in other words, the added distance, and the convenience of not having to bend over to clean out cracks, tires, or brick walkways; make this a versatile, useful tool. It loses a star because no matter how I attach it, the thing leaks. I had to buy a rubber washer to solve this issue. It is also a bit pricey, when it offers only minor advantages to a cheap attachment available at any walmart. I would rate it 3.5, but I am giving it the benefit of the doubt.
