Product review (5 stars): Never change again!
Heavy duty. I had no idea that the rubber hoses were supposed to be changed every couple of years. As such, I'd never changed mine. When my father for a new washer the Home Depot sales rep told us this so I figured I'd go ahead and buy the metal ones so they wouldn't ever burst and because I know I'd never remember to change the rubber ones on schedule.  These were about 30% more expensive at the Depot.
