Product review (5 stars): Reliable and strong
I use these as replacement hoses for commercial washers made from Wascomat. I have a laundromat with over 100+ machines ranging from 25 lb. loads to 80 lb. loads. The original hoses that I had when I first installed the machines were from Goodyear but due to the extreme pressure and constant use, those hoses only last about a few years before leaking or breaking.

All the hoses that are useless from Goodyear I have replaced with these steel braided hoses. They do a fine job in creating a perfect seal and do not leak. Obviously, as a business owner I need to have reliable hoses and these provide what I need. Just a precaution though, alot of the times, the gasket is what causes leaks in hoses so I recommend that you check that first. The rubber can degrade over time from water impurities and temperature changes.
