Product review (5 stars): Inexpensive peace of mind
When I looked at the small inside diameter of these hoses, I was concerned water flow would be restricted and washing my clothes would take longer. Well, apparently they flow just as much water as the old rubber hoses, because the washer seems to fill just as quickly. I know you're supposed to turn off the valves to your washer when you're not using it, but who really does that? Now I don't have to worry about it. These appear well-made and attractive and are easy to install. As a bonus, they appear to be about a foot longer than the original rubber hoses that came with my Whirlpool washer. I'm in my 60's and I figure washer hoses are something I'll never have to worry about again.
