Product review (5 stars): Seems strong and reliable
I bought these to replace the plastic ended hoses that came with our Fisher-Paykel wash machine.

One of the plastic fitting broke and started spraying water all over the laundry room. Luckily I was close by and heard the noise.
I couldn't get the valve off at the washing machine, these valves can be very tight in the open position. I ran outside and shut off the house water. In just 30 seconds or so, it made quite a mess. Imagine if we had not been home at the time....

I thought it would be prudent to get the strongest and best hoses I could. I feel much better about these ones than the factory ones.
