Product review (5 stars): 90 degree hose is the way to go if you want your washer closer to the wall!
I have a small condo with a tiny laundry hook up closet. It only measures 27inches deep and 24 inches wide. I recently  purchased a small Maytag front loading washing machine. I was not able to have a closet door installed using the regular hoses that came with the washer. These hoses once installed allowed me to push the washer back at least 3 inches. I am now able to have a door installed on my laundry closet!

Quality wise these look good. The package says that they must be replaced every five years. That is the same recommendation as for standard rubber hoses. The package also claims that these are better than stainless steel.

Overall if your issue is needing to get a washer closer to a wall these are perfect for that application.

* I will update my review if there are any leakage issues.
