Gotta admit I was skeptical at first. Using for six Months now with no issue.They feel like a consumer pressure washer product. They make a huge difference in the feel of the weight of the wand and the ease of use. I've still got one wash with the wire braid hoses and they feel so heavy and clunky in comparison to these. Very compact in storage. I've also been meaning to try the as a low pressure hose. If they last a year then I consider them a keeper. I'd recommend trying one.
