Product review (5 stars): Stainless Hoses - Overkill?
I use these hoses outside to help extend my water availability in the garden. The key is the 2 male couplings.  It makes it possible to disconnect everything in the winter, which protect my PVC pipes from freezing.  Brfore I got these hoses, it seemed I was always buying new ones at Lowes.  Last year, I got smart, and got these hefty stainless steel hoses.  So far they look as good as new, and hooked up with no trouble this spring  I liked them so much that I got another set.  You a probably looking for new hoses for your washer.  Believe me, these will set your mind at ease - they are truly industrial-strength.
