Product review (4 stars): Good, but...
Bought these to replace 15+ year old standard hoses.  I was not having any failures with the standard hoses but came to understand that old washing machine hoses can be an accident waiting to happen, so I ponied up for Flood Armour hoses.
These hoses are somewhat stiff/firm and have coil memory coming out of their shipping box, so I hung them in the autumn sun a while to get them to relax a bit.  they did relax some, but are still twice as stiff as a regular hose.
Installation was simple and straightforward and connectors (hand tighten only per instructions) went on tight enough to not leak.
My only issue: my washer is 25+ years old and its threaded male hose connectors *might* be more recessed than newer designs??  When attaching the 90 degree angled connector to my machine the hose connector ends up at a tilt,  a slight offset, putting the hose smack-dab tight again the metal back of the washer and too tight in my opinion.  Had the Flood Armour connector been the least bit more extended ( say 4mm ) I would not have this issue.
