Product review (5 stars): Tried steel braided, went back to Whirlpool braided
I bought the Whirlpool braided hoses 2 years ago and just thougt I would change the hoses every couple of years. I tried the steel braided everyone said are so good and in 2 days I had a flood in the main floor laundry room. Its back to Whirlpool permanently for me.

4/4/17 I just bought another set of Whirlpool braided hoses. Had NO trouble with the other ones, I just try to replace my hoses
every 3 years. That is Thousands of dollars cheaper than a broken hose while you are at work which happened to us back
in the late 80's.
