Product review (5 stars): Good quality washing machine hose!
I have used these wire mesh covered hoses for the past 20 years or so.  I would rather spend a little more money on a good quality hose than have one burst or fail and cause a bunch of water damage that surely would cost more than these hoses.  I trust these hoses to last a bit longer than the plain rubber hoses.  We purchased a new washer and dryer set after our washing machine wet bad after some 10 years of heavy use.  This seemed like an appropriate time to replace the hoses, while I was back there hooking things up anyway.  I ordered this set from Amazon and they arrived as expected.  They hoses and fittings seem to be of good quality.  I hooked them up and did not have any issues.  There were no leaks when I opened the water pressure.  So far it's been a good two weeks and the hoses are working as expected.
