Product review (5 stars): Seems to be well built
We live in an old farmhouse, and had to place the washer some distance from the water supply.  I had looked at the big box stores (Lowe's, Home Depot, Menard's, Ace Hardware), and was not able to come up with metal braided hoses that were long enough for our purposes.  Amazon to the rescue!  The 8-foot length of these hoses was a life-saver.

The ends seem to seal well without really cranking them down (quality washers), and the hoses are fairly flexible.  I did have to buy separate 90-degree fittings, in order to put my washer back against the wall.  It would have been better if the manufacturer would have put an elbow on one end of these hoses, and saved me this expense.
