Product review (5 stars): Work great, fit perfect
It seems like a poorly designed product that is just going to keep breaking, although to the same point I most likely overload the washing machine which forces these pieces to see greater forces over time and break. They are easy to replace yourself, and fairly cheap. While they are most likely needed for most washing, it's nice to know these will do the job if you need them. I probably should get another set to keep on hand.
