Product review (5 stars): YES, THEY'RE HOMELY, BUT . . .
. . . WHEN YOU WANT A SECURE CONNECTION for your dryer vent hose, this is IT!!!  Done and done!  I just got a new space saver washer and dryer, so, for the first time in a decade, I won't be dragging my unmentionables through my mammoth apartment building halls, elevators and lobby to reach our pristine laundry room.  I figure I'm supporting the economy with all the stuff I've bought on Amazon to get hooked up right.  AMAZON PRIME GOT EVERYTHING TO ME (lint trap and sure fit hose, and adapters for faucet and hose connections) IN JUST A COUPLE DAYS.  Before now, my apartment looked more like a giant laundry hamper, but now, I'm good to go: LAUNDRY IS MY NEW HOBBY!!!
