Customer Reviews: Cheap InsuranceAugust 26, 2009 wy4j(Miami, FL) Year ago I had a washing machine hose burst and it sprayed water all over a wall where I had all my ham radio equipment. Luckily I did not turn anything on but disconnected everything and dried it off with a hair drier. This took hours and then i waited a couple of weeks before turning anything on. At least now I hope that if a hose does ever burst again the outside mesh will redirect the water stream away from the electronic equipment. Fluidmaster No-Burst Washing Machine Connectors seem very well constructed and flexible enough for an easy and fast installation. These hose do not seem to 't kink or crease, even in the tightest of spaces or turns. The heavy-duty nuts are easy to grip.. I have had them up for about a year and they seem to be holding up well. They do cost a bit more than the cheap hoses that you can buy at your local home improvement store but for a couple of more dollars, it's cheap insurance against a major spill.
Nice connections, less likely to burst. Cheaper than locally.February 9, 2009 Two kids mom(Tijeras, NM United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Theses were cheaper here than at my local big box hardware store. Not an exciting product but the connections do have better seals (the cone type washers) than my old rubber hoses.
Steel hoses are recommended as they are less likely to burst than rubber ones, flooding your house. If your washer is on an upstairs floor you certainly should invest in these.
Remember, you need two, one for the hot water intake and one for the cold.
