Product review (5 stars): Spend the extra money on this item over plastic hoses
I recently went through a homeowners insurance claim on my house where the refrigerator water supply line failed. The line was typical, made of cheap hard plastic. They just have to fail at some point. It caused, get this, $75,000 in damage to my house requiring us to install a whole new kitchen, several new walls and lay 800 square feet of new tile floor on raised sub floor.

I am in Real Estate and see this hose being used by many new home builders. Its just fantastic, steel braided and wrapped in fabric. Its an excellent product and is worth every penny. Should last years longer than the plastic line.
