Product review (5 stars): Replacement because my cats are heathens
Story time: My cats are heathens. I discovered one day that my washing machine was leaking through the wall and into my kitchen. After much investigating, taking the washer apart and fearing there was a leak in the wall, I realized that MY CATS had decided that the drain hose was fun scratching area. The original washer drain hose had tiny little needle sized holes in it from their scratching adventures. I originally picked up a universal drain hose from Lowes but the design of the washing machine really needed the manufactures hose, so I picked up this. It fits perfectly and we are washing clothes as I write this.

Fun little side note, if you discover your cats doing this, I suggest buying a 2 in diameter PVC pipe cut to fit to slide over the washing machine drain hose to keep them from scratching it.
