Product review (5 stars): Is a Hose just a Hose?
We had been using the same rubber supply hoses for our washer for more years than I can remember and they may have been fine! After all, we had never had a problem with them. But, it only takes once and if a problem occurs, it is normally when you are not around. So, in researching these products, I had originally intended to purchase the stainless steel braided hoses but in in checking further, I found these, which are purportedly even stronger and which resist the drying and/or cracking that are more typical of rubber hoses. They are bought, installed and are working flawlessly. Although I suppose that nothing is indestructible, I don't worry about these and suspect that they are the last ones that we'll ever have to purchase...
