Product review (4 stars): Is a 5 year warranty a good value?
These hoses appear to be well made and are very easy to install. The manufacture warrantees these for 5 years and states that the hoses should be replaced every 5 years regardless of condition. I suspect if I purchased any of the washing machine hoses selling for 1/3 the price and replaced those every five years I wouldnt need to worry about leaks either.  For the price of these I would like to see a longer warrantee and replacement schedule.

What you do get is some peace of mind that in the event the inner hose does burst, the water will be automatically shut off.  For those who have their laundry in a finished space or on an upper floor that feature would be especially valuable.
