What brand hose do you have on it?
It's only the second hose. Whatever menards sells. I connected the sprayer and hose and the chick rung it up as 1 unit lmfao. 3 years ago or so
This is the hose I have.
UBERFLEX™ Kink Resistant Pressure Washer Hose 1/4" x 50' 3,100 PSI with (2) 22MM https://a.co/d/9opbcvi
Leagues above the one that came with my dewalt. Might take it out again and try using it. It worked for a bit on Monday, then would be running but not build pressure then build pressure again. Who knows.

You guys are spending just as much on a hose as the power washer cost.
Seriously, I have no doubt that these hoses are probably superior, but I looked and some of them were over $120, the whole pressure washer WITH the hose was only $99 LOL. But again for what I use it I shouldn't need all that, I just want a longer hose (that's what she said). Different strokes for different folks I guess
I think the issue is, is that the one that comes with the washer is like 6 feet long, which is useless. So yea, you sorta have to go out and buy a better/longer one (that's what she said).
I just looked on Amazon, the uberflex hose and the flexzilla for 50ft = $55
If this fits yours needs and budget, then buy it.

A $100 PW will crap out but the hose and all the quick disconnects can be transferred to the new machine. A quality hose will not only last longer but the user experience will be better.
I bought the $100 hose now so that when I buy a $1k pressure washer the hose is already in hand and ready to connect.

I use my power washer too damn much too have a shitty hose that pisses me off.
Also, I have converted my garden hoses, both pressure washers, both pressure washer handles to quick connects.
Man does it make shit soooo much easier, not sure why I have not done it sooner.

Quick disconnects are where it is at!
I bought my Flexilla pressure washer hose years ago now. It works fine. I don't see any issues with it. Seems better quality than the hose that came with the Ryobi. Plus it's more useful than the short hose that came with the Ryobi. The garden hose is super lite compared to other hoses. Plus has nice aluminum, hex-head connectors. So I can get the quick disconnects on tight with a wrench. No leaks. Maybe there are better stuff on the market now. But I wouldn't call them junk.

I need to pick up one of those flexzilla hoses. I’ve got 5 of their garden hoses, extension cords and air hoses. I’ll drink any kool aid they sell. Love their products.
I rarely use my big dick “DeWalt” (Honda motor and cat pump FTW) pressure washer because it’s such a pain to drag out.
Slightly enticed for a wall mount one I can hard pipe a water supply and power.

Both flexzilla water hoses didn't last 8 months at the shop.
I was buying quick disconnects as I was buying the hoses and other crap along with the quick disconnects for the pressure washer. I even bought extra male ends so as I get sprinklers and other shit those are also pop on and pop off.
Yup, I got extra for our regular hose sprayer attachment. Everything is quick connect lol. I even have extra males and females in my garage just in case
I definitely need some quick disconnects.
Same. I should have specified that part too. Lol. Wife looks at me funny putting quick disconnects on stupid kid sprinklers. I’m not messing up my tape job on the female side just to spray some water from this dollar spot piece of shit. ?? It gets a quick disconnect and when it breaks, I’ll take it off and put it back in the garage to wait for the next one.
Quick connects purchased...
I have one hose that the fitting is so sharp it will rip your skin open when twisting.

What kind/brand of quick disconnects do you guys use/suggest? I know there are a million different ones just looking for experiences or if it matters.
My buddy told me a brand that he swears by, but I just got the shiz from Home Depot, and with some plumbing tape applied then the ends put on, no issues.
Now I want to get a new hose for the back yard. I got one of those nice thick rubber hoses and the box feeder for it, and its cumbersome, gets kinked constantly, and just overall pisses me off when I have to use it. Meanwhile I have a 50 foot expandable flex hoses for the front and its light, amazing, and holds pressure just fine but just not long enough and I need to find something to store it in up front so it doesnt look ratty. Might get a longer version and just use the big rubber one for when I use the pump to empty the pool or anything else of that nature.
Whatever Menards sells in the sprinkler and power washer areas.
Whatever Amazon is delivering tomorrow. Lmao.
So Amazon Basics?
Quick change high flow high capacity assault couplers. Illegal in 7 states.
You don’t need that much water at one time. Think of the children!
If you get quick disconnects, get a bag of o rings, too. They wear out and leak. I still have a catalog from when I had the pw business and order the pro stuff instead of the junk. Brass fittings are good. Stainless are better but way more $$.
