Washing Machine Hose (PBLSPWE601212)



Good hose - but watch sneaky (fulfilled by Amazon) vendors
Make sure you get a genuine Anderson Barrows or Watts (both made by Watts) stamped with a "W" on the crimp collar. The Chinese knockoffs with cast elbows and cheap crimps look like a failure waiting to happen.

BELIEVE OTHER REVIEWERS!
When you order this product, according to previous reviews and now mine, you will not receive the Anderson Barrows (WATTS) product but get some no name incredibly flimsly junk that actually states-made in China on some blue label, that does not identify manufacturer.
That is what just came out of our box today. Uggh!!

What arrived today is nothing like described or photographed. It may have had a 3/4" & 3/4" fitting at each end but the hose diameter is clearly not. Unlike the image, this product arrived with a sharp 90 degree angle which restricts flow, not the gradual 90 degree angle as shown product photo. That is a deal breaker for me as well.
The braiding material is incredibly flimsy, hard to believe this would last very long. I will not risk my house flooding on the almost certain failure of this junk.
We ordered from PANDORA'S OEM APPLIANCE PARTS, so add that to the list of sellers to avoid like the plague. No shock here that these items are going...

Not as Advertised. As another reviewer said, beware that you get the item that you ordered.
I received a cheap China-made knockoff hose with a model number not matching this product description. I will not be taking a chance with this hose bursting and flooding my home. Shame on Amazon's vendor Appliance Mart for trying to fool customers with swapping a cheaper hose and hoping no one notices the difference.
