Product review (5 stars): GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THESE ON HAND.............
REVIEW OF: DANCO 10763 FLOOD ARMOUR WASHING MACHINE

HOSE, 6', GREY, 2-PACK

I'd like to thank Amazon for the opportunity to review these washing machine hoses that I received as a complimentary sample.

These hoses arrived in the nick of time. A general rule of thumb- one should replace these hoses every five years to avoid a problem-like a massive, nasty water leak/flood.

Our hoses were just starting to bulge; a leak no doubt was imminent.  These hoses were very helpful to prevent a disaster.

PROS:

-sturdy, PVC
-easy to install by non-plumbing professionals
-durable
-Leak indicator eliminates guesswork.

CONS:  None, really. The hoses are very long-some might not like that.

SAW THIS CRITICISM:  "The hoses are bulky, thick and very inflexible. " This  inflexibility appears due to the innate nature of the coiling. If the 'tube' is in proper position, it will lie flat. Agree, it can be a bit of a chore to get it that way.

SAW THIS CRITICISM: "these hoses are only designed to last five years." Serves as a reminder to do prophylactic damage control every five years. Most hoses do give out in that time period.

OVERALL: Terrific hoses-very glad to have this high quality product.  They saved the day. Good idea to have these on hand.............
