    Default Recommend a pressure washer hose

    The one that came with mine is fairly stiff, and I'm sick of it. All the ones I see in big box stores are fairly similar, so can anyone recommend a more professional one that is flexible?

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    Go to Greenline Hose on Blackfoot and ask for ‘soft’ pressure washer hose. I dare you.

    They are steel braided high pressure lines, all of them are stiff as hell. Car washes may seem better but that’s just a hose not rolled up and is hung from the ceiling.

    "flexzilla" makes a pressure wash hose. No idea of quality.

    Yeah, but some must be better than others.

    I just watched some reviews on these. I guess they are basically a rebranded Uberflex. Both have generally great reviews unless they fail in the first two months, which also happens a lot. I might order one up and see what it's like.

    Came in to say I love the Flexzilla brand too. Man can’t believe you’re just always on top of helpful insightful posts. I guess this is why you’re in the 50 rep club

    Have two Flexilla hoses and they are awesome. Nice and soft, non-marking, and pack away nice and small when not in use. Come in a nifty fluorescent green colour which I like, but you gotta pay to play. Amazon is your best bet....

    Bought the Flexzilla one. First day of use, about 3 hours of on/off px washing the house, windows, patio, furniture etc.

    It's definitely more flexible, and 50' might be the same weight as my old 25' one. Makes it super easy to use. The draw drawback would be if you're the type that's super agro with hoses and yanks them around, I could see it failing and ballooning up like a bunch of the reviews say happened to theirs in the first few uses.

    All that said, I bought a quick disconnect with it, and I think I would have been almost just as happy with only that, lol.

    A little pricey, and I have to be more gentle than normal, but yes.

    Mines still good after two summers now. Probably only used a 20 times. I've been baby'ing it though. Making sure I don't yank it hard as mentioned above.

    Don't yank too hard or the end will come off. Good life advice.
