Product review (5 stars): Fixed my issue!
Purchased this item because the new washing machine I bought did not have a hose long enough to reach the hose drain. I had gone to Lowe's and bought a drain hose extender with hose clamps, which didn't work. Instead, it had flooded my garage. After looking through the manual, I came across a section which directed me to purchase this and the Whirlpool Part Number 285863: 4-ft Washer Drain Hose.. I can now do laundry without flooding my garage and damaging things in there.
