Product review (5 stars): Good hoses
I bought these to replace rubber hoses.  I'm glad that I read reviews on the stainless steel (braided) hoses because some of them have a narrow opening as compared to the rubber ones and as a result, it takes forever for the washer to fill.  These hoses are not like that.  My washer filled in the same amount of time as the rubber ones I replaced.  So even though these are just a few dollars more than the "Amazon choice" ones, the cost increase is extremely small compared to the aggravation one would have with a washer taking forever to fill.
