I am looking hard at their blue 50' swivel hose, read a couple of places it is the same hose as the Kobra

They have a swivel hose? That’s the 1st time I’ve heard of a swivel power washer hose, I’ve heard of swivel nozzle but not swivel hose.

Technically a quick connect provides the ability to swivel, but it’s not enough by itself to really help on a pressure washer setup. Heck, even the swivel gun bearly helps. At least that’s been my observation so far. Maybe swivel hose could be a game changer? I dunno. What helps is straightening out the hose prior to starting.

They claim it has a swivel at one end

Others have said using that end at the machine and a swivel at the gun is the hot ticket

Guess for $90 I can find out

I’m just so spoiled by my lightweight 1/4” Uberflex hose that I’m waffling on the much heavier 3/8” with wire braid

Probably way overkill for washing a car or jobs around the house

I read that the 3/8 hose is noticeably stiffer.
Have you upgraded your gun to a swivel gun? Or was it someone else who was talking about needing to upgrade recently?

That was probably me

I have an MTM gun but yeah, I still need to add a swivel

I’ll probably never have to replace the gun unless I run over it but I’ll tell anyone listening, don’t save money by not getting a swivel gun

Big mistake

If it were me I’d stick with the Uberflex hose and upgrade to a swivel gun. I recommend the Yamatic. Very happy with it. It’s the same gun that this guy reviews in this video.

Can this Pressure washer gun outperform mtm for half the price? #mtm #cardetailing #stayslick - YouTube

Only difference is my gun says it’s Max 5800 psi [gun in vid says 5000 psi]
My gun says Max 10 GPM [gun in vid says 7.9 GPM] So Yamatic must’ve upgraded their gun since that video.

I have that hose and can confirm it does indeed come with a swivel on one end. I set it up just as you stated with the swivel portion connected to the PW and my swivel gun (which I also purchased from them) on the other end.

Curious how this will perform on your ryobi pw. You do get to a point where your pump is maxed out and opening up the orifice no longer increases flow but pressure still takes a hit. From what I've seen the general consensus is around the 3.0-3.5 mark on the ryobi unit you have. But if you're just using it for rinsing off soap then I don't see an issue.
