This is my first hookah that I ever personally owned and honestly I think it's perfect for first timers or people just casually smoking alone or with one other friend. It's very easy to use and works like a charm and a super portable as well as very easy to clean. I would always smoke hookah at friends houses and Ive always wanted one of my own. It's very nicely priced and it works like a charm. However if you are an experienced hookah owner and you plan on using this at a party with 5 other people I would recommend bigger one with more hoses as this one is more of a two to one person hookah ( which is fine because that's exactly what I wanted )
