"I used this hose only twice, and my machine started to malfunction. Finally discovered that the hose had split near the small area that affects machine pressure. I did get a replacement. If you use this machine, be VERY careful when connecting this hose or the adapter, it can render your machine temporarily unusable if the hose malfunctions. As I am very conscientious about the care and cleaning of my supplies, this concerns me about the durability of the transcend II. Never had a problem til I upgraded to the II."
