Product review (1 stars): Good quality hose.  Fittings are a disappointment
Got these to replace the hoses that came original with my washer. They were 15 years old and I worried they might be in danger of leaking.  I like the braided reinforcement and the 90 elbows.  However I was disappointed to find the end fittings are aluminum and fairly lightweight.  The old hoses had heavy duty brass fittings.  I'm not sure if I trust the new ones.  I'm going to check them every week for the 1st several months.

Update, 12/15/12: As I feared, the end fittings failed and began leaking in less than a year.  It wasn't just that they were flimsy.  Apparently the 90 elbow and the hose fitting attached to it were of different metals.  Maybe brass and aluminum?  The elbow corroded right where the hose fitting touched it.  That's incredibly sloppy design. Threw them away and replaced with heavy duty hoses with solid brass fittings that I got at a big box home center.  Reduced my rating from 4 stars to 1.
