    I don't know about that. A lot of youtubers take any questions or comments as personnal attacks. I know because I often ask questions in hopes of getting more information and I would say that about half the time, the answer when I get one is a defensive post trying to justify their position instead of an answer to my question, and that is when it's not an direct insult or close to it. Many of these guys think what they say is gospel and should not be questioned or asked to provide more information... it's very strange.

    Re: Pressure washer kinkless hose

    I have not tried a 3/8 hose because I had read it was a bad idea to use them on a pressure washer.

    What I can tell you is that adding an extension hose on my machine, going from 25 feet to 55 feet (25 feet hose plus a 30 feet extension) makes my machines shut down slower. With just the original hose, the machine stops immediatelly after I release the trigger on the gun. With the extension in place, it takes 1 or 2 seconds before it shuts down.

    So I am confident that using a 3/8 would make this even worse. I don't know it would do for the overall flow and pressure, but I doubt it would be good.

    I agree 100% with what you said. My post was more of an optimistic look at how it outta be. I’ve dealt with the same exact thing you speak of. It’s like you can’t even ask a simple question without certain youtubers getting immediately defensive + waiting for their flock to jump in. It’s weak!

    Couple that with the disinformation aspect (ONE guy had something break, and he posts that the ENTIRE product line is garbage and DO NOT buy it).

    Youtube is becoming very hard to wade through nowadays. JMO
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Got this at HD (exclusive to them). They have a short video on site... looks to be pretty flexible. 1/4 inch and feels nice. 35 ft.... works for me.

    So after using a couple times still very stiff. Doesn’t want to uncoil. The video shows guy turning on on pressure washer and walking away and it uncoiling....no chance. Was thinking uberflex but a lot of bad reviews on marring and blow outs. Ordered a flexzilla 50ft 1/4th inch. Was only 59.99 very reasonable and has been great two weeks I’ve used it very flexible and lays flat. Didn’t really need 50 ft but needed more than 25. Thanks Eldarado for the recommendation.
