Works very well. Made of real steam faster. Good hose resistant, secure ... it is wrapped in a metal material that if stepped on, (... and who say that on a site that does not happen ...), the hose clamp and does not return to its original shape ... we are not immediately attention and suddenly heated tank deforms a bit and stop, you stop everything. Obviously this is a security manufacturer choice. It is a steam pipe resists and does not close for a lesser thing that appuyerai above. But if he does not return to its form after suffering a slightly heavy foot ... Bosch made his choice. One can loosen the pinch with pliers, but anyway it will change the hose ... Voilà! This is a very good product anyway.
