Try ebay if you want to go with NOS hoses. One thing I can say about the newer accordion type hoses is that they don't kink so easily. Durability wise, I have no idea how superior or inferior they'd be. I've seen some real thin, cheap looking accordion hoses, and some quality ones. I got an accordion type drain hose for my A806. It seems well made. |

Shut the faucets off after wash is done and dont leave it when its running. That way any hose works. My LA511 hoses are 35 years old and dont leak, but if they did, I would be right here to shut faucets off. I have known several people who left their house and came back to a flood because they couldnt be bothered to turn the faucets off.
