Product review (5 stars): These are great for a washing machine
These are great for a washing machine, especially one that has limited space behind the washer.  I replaced my old school style washer with a high efficiency washer and the HE washer was a couple inches deeper than my old school style washer.  At any rate, the straight connector type hoses (you should always replace your hoses with a new washer) would not work with my setup.  I was looking at actually moving a wall to get the washer to fit until I came across this product, what a time and money saver for me.  The right angle connection saved enough room for me to allow me to put the washer in place without any home renovations!
