As a major appliance repairman, I can confidently tell you that
Floodsafe brand hoses fail in normal operation by turning off water to
the washer when there is no leak. Consequently, this often leads to
an unnecessary service call.

I think that this product is a sort of belt and suspenders thing. You
get the braided hoses, then you get an added feature that turns off
the flow if the hose bursts. Braided hoses are enough for the average
homeowner and people should quit worrying about the matter. It isn't
rocket science to check your hoses. If they look or feel weak, change
them.
