Product review (5 stars): These are much stronger than cheap rubber but are also more reliable than anti-flood cables.
These were cheap but strong metal cables to replace the "fancy" ones that our contractor selected locally that had an "anti-flood" feature that basically cut off the water to both cables without warning after 4 months of use. Suddenly our brand new LG front load washer wasn't getting water so it was producing an error code. I did the typical troubleshooting but nothing mentioned it could be the cables. Thankfully when nothing else fixed it, I kept troubleshooting and thought--perhaps I should make sure the existing cords are actually supplying water correctly. That was the bingo moment but it took me several removals (which would fix the issue very short term) before I realized the cables were trash and needed to be replaced. That is the nearly forty dollar fancy cables didn't last six months.

After that I didn't want to trust anything locally (without a ton of reviews) as this not something you mess around with so I ordered these and hoped they would fix the problem for good. They did and have worked flawlessly since. Who says you get what you pay for...in these you get a lot more.
