At HD the other day I picked up two stainless braided washer hoses labelled
"Floodsafe." The package says "sutomatic senses hose ruptures and shuts the
water supply off when then flow of water exceed the design rate.

Has anyone used these and/or any like this? Pros? Cons?

Does it restrict the flow into the machine enough to make the wash cycle
longer as the fill time increases? I found their website:

but I'd rather hear from actual users . . .

TIA,
