Product review (5 stars): Reduce the risk of flooding in your home.
My old heavy duty rubber hoses were 16 years old, so they were twice as old as I should have let them get.
If you don't want to end up filing on insurance, you should get some good hoses.  These installed very smoothly,
the rings moved easily, and the 90 degree bend allowed me to move the washer a few inches further back.

REMEMBER TO MARK YOUR HOSES  - so you know which is hot & cold!
