Product review (5 stars): No more broken hoses!
These are real stainless steel braiding.
Our old hoses were severely cracked and degraded.
These have 90 degree adapters built onto one end BUT they should be on both ends to reduce the chance hose failure from forming their own 90.
I bought 90 degree adapters to prevent future hose degradation.
The steel braiding prevents the hose from expanding from variations in pressure which will occur when city water or private well pressure variations or from when the supply valves shut off, which causes water hammer. I also added water hammer arrester devices to my washer supply valves.
