Product review (2 stars): When I opened the brown envelope package I was disappointed at first glance focusing my attention to the hose ...
Okay I just received this two pack of stainless steel washing machine filler hoses in the extremely fast Amazon delivery fashion . I did not have time to read all the customer reviews but I did base my purchase on the high star rating as I did not want to spend hours or days researching and reading products reviews. When I opened the brown envelope package I was disappointed at first glance focusing my attention to the hose ends. Me, not being a physics major, I do understand the principles of water flow, albeit, gravity, pressurized, pumped or sucked mechanically, hydro or electric. Having said that let me point out that on standard rubber washing machine filler hoses the hose opening is anywhere from 3/8" to half inch generally which allows a speedy fill of the washer tub for washing and rinse cycles. This hose opening is 3/16" which is pretty small to say the least. So people on a municipality water system which pumps water to your house the water delivery pressure is somewhere in the area of 35 to 8o psi max or if pressure is higher than 80 PSI a regulator has to be installed to reduce it under 8o. These hoses most probably work and are okay for the new styles of washing machines that use way less water than the old style machines, using almost quarts of water compared to several gallons of water for the older machines. This small hose opening  under pressure will deliver water similar to when your garden hose nozzle is set to the jet setting, a small fast stream of water under volume and pressure. If any of you have ever witnessed a small pin hole in a copper water  pipe or PEX tubing it spits out a lot of water in a narrow stream. The bottom line is this. These hose will work, but it will just take longer to fill the washer tub. I suspect if I searched longer I would find hoses that are identical to these, being PVC wrapped in stainless steel that have larger openings in the ends. If you are looking to buy new hoses and have the older style and models of washers that use several gallons of water for wash and rinse cycles these are probably not for you, unless you have a lot of idol time or patience. But if you have the newest  models such as the front load or agitator-less styles this hose will work. Good Luck
