Product review (5 stars): Well made - sturdy components
I was surprised at how well made these hoses are.  The ends are thick and feel well crafted (clean edges, no burrs, joints are solid).  The rubber washers are soft and flexible (not old and not cheap).  The extra few feet will come in handy with the stacked washer/dryer that I've got in a dedicated closet.  I've got to make the connection, slip out the side and then move the unit into the closet... with my waist line, I need all the extra room they can give me!  :D
