Since you're looking at supporting Mr. Bezos, for reference, I bought the Eastman hose kits for both my washer and dryer. They both have an orange rubber gasket at the hose end. So far so good. Just don't reef at the connections or you risk breaking the ends.
And yes, the washers these days are heavy as fuck. The dryer is still okay but you'd need two people. Took me forever to push the washer into its final location. Easy, they said.
