Product review (4 stars): L-bend does wonders
Like most other reviewers here, I needed these hoses to 1. place the washer closer to the wall and 2. allow the washer to be shuffled to the other side of the room.

Pros:
Great build quality.

Cons:
Personal issue but the L-bend freaks me out a little due to the fact that it's so thin and the only thing keeping it from leaking is two rubber stoppers on either end.

Overal:
So far so good. Just hoping the L-bends doesn't change it's mind in terms of water retention.
