They are awesome! I bought the HF 2,300 PSI electric washer with the concrete cleaning attachment (the double jet spinning one) BUT I didn't buy the extension kit. Went back and got the extension kit and it's perfect for me. I use the included long wand with the straight extension on the concrete cleaner and it works great! Perfect height for my 6'1" body. Then I take off the straight extension and use the curved one with the orbital tip and it'll clean up the parts that the concrete spinner missed and with the orbital action and the pressure - it's easy to keep this whole set up hovering off the ground at the perfect height while it does it's work.

Just so everyone here knows. The uberflex hose is ok. Just ok. It’s not some worldly hose. It’s heavy when under pressure. The coating on the hose is not really durable. It doesn’t kink, but if you have it on a reel it has a ton of memory. Meaning it will lay on the ground in the shape it comes off the real. I actually am looking into the flexzilla or other pressure washer hoses because the uberflex has been so average. Also, companies like active do not recommend using uberflex type hoses. They recommend using there hose to the desired pressure.

You missed one crucial mark on the hose... UberFlex is made in USA. That hose is very likely made in China. And before any a-hat starts saying "dude, your phone was made in China!", first, it actually wasn't, but second, I don't give a damn. The point is if I CAN buy it "Made in USA", I WILL buy it "Made in USA". Particularly if the price isn't astronomical, but ESPECIALLY if it's roughly the same, as is the case with this hose.

OK very cool vid....love it!! Thanks!! Am I wrong in my perceptions here? It seems to me like you really love the hose construction but not so much the length. Which you said numerous times. However you spent so much time talking about the hose that you seem MORE impressed with that than the stubby gun. BUT here's where it gets confusing to me. In your past vids that I've seen, this gun seems to check every box for you. It has a built in swivel, stubby, trigger lock for storage, trigger lock while in use with a squeeze release. Handles high pressure. BUT you seemed to spend more time on the hose than the gun giving me the impression you were more impressed with the hose than the gun. Am I wrong here?? Also would love to hear your experience with a whole HF build. The 2,300 electric pressure washer, the new hose, the included wand and new stubby gun, the extensions, the additional tips package (not just the few that come with the 2,300), the foam cannon and their concrete attachment. I'd like to hear your take on all these working together, what you would change to improve the system, how it rates for home use, how it rates for commercial use and all that and most importantly if you would recommend that build to someone just getting started in pressure washing or if there are better options out there.....I mean their hassle free, life time warranty on certain things is attractive. Not sure how much of these components would be covered by that. Anyways - love the channel. Keep up the great work.

My opinions. When it is in stock you can get the 12 gal Vacmaster from Wayfair for $99.50 plus you can get another 10% off if you sign up. This is the best shop vacuum out there. The Black Max pw hose at Walmart is the Uberflex and is 35' and costs $38. I own it and it never kinks. IMO you cannot beat the long throw Bauer polisher and you can add a 5" Rupes backing plate with no mods (vibrates less). I would buy the Rupes pads as well. I would change the Bauer long throw grease with lithium or Lucas Red and Tacky grease. Makes it quieter. As far as a short PW gun you cannot beat the Ridge PW gun rated for 12gpm and 5K psi and costs $31. As far as a blower for removing water from the car, the Hyper Tough 7amp from Walmart is $29. Used it for a few and works just fine.
