UPGRADE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER HOSE | Best Kink Free Uberflex VS Yamatic

[@albisasky766]

I bought an Uberflex on your recommendation. It's well worth the money. Many thanks for your review.

[@DEE-io9li]

This guy is great really attention to detail and making sure you understand and see everything awesome brother keep up the good work.

[@imjoshv]

Thanks so much! I try to cover as much as possible. I know it can run a bit long sometimes but I try to cover it all

[@casmithc2]

Josh, you read my mind! I purchased the green Yamatic hose and their shorty gun with swivel and quick connectors for $59. I love their shorty gun. I got some initial kinks in my hose. The more I use it, the better it gets. However, I should have spent the extra $20 and bought the Uberflex hose. I too, bought into their no kink advertisements. Both items were a nice upgrade to my $69 Portland power washer.

[@kevins6246]

I purchased the same kit and for the price you can't beat it, so far I'm happy with all the components and if the hose starts having issues I'll replace it with the Uberflex.

[@richardmartinez637]

I bought the Greenworks 2300 Electric pressure washer after watching his review, and it's been a beast so far.

[@toddn.3123]

You got it backwards. The sleeve is where you connect it to the pressure washer. It is a heat shield for gas powered pressure washers that have a hot exhaust.

[@Badeau68]

Thanks for your opinion😂😅 🖕

[@annagraham6204]

Plus it didn’t hold up to what it’s being advertised as so that’s irrelevant.

[@Mikkelism]

You are correct. I have this same hose and my label was on the sleeved side.

[@enlightenedvomit7406]

​@@darylcooper5481I'm pretty sure you and the man that made this video are misinterpreting the label. I would think the pumps connection output would be your pressure wand, not the pump. And that is definitely a heat shield meant for gas pressure washers. Something you probably don't operate or you would know that's what it's for. No big deal

The snapping sound you hear when you bend these is the fibers breaking as you stress them to the point of failure.

@IMJOSHV I've been using the green Yamatic 50 foot hose and the Yamatic 5000 psi gun (instead of the McKillan's stubby swivel gun) the last two months, and I'm very happy with them - no kinks or leaks, or other problems. The reason I chose the Yamitic products over the Uberflex and McKillan's is because I use a 3200 psi gas pressure washer, and the Uberflex and McKillan's psi are rated too low. The overall quality is so close, I'm not sure the Uberflex and McKillan's are worth the extra cost. The one thing that would cause me to buy Uberlex despite the additional cost is that it's made in the USA. Something that is getting harder to find these days. I appreciate your channel - keep up the good work!

[@annagraham6204]

I get what you’re saying in terms of employment in USA being a good thing. Being our own sovereign nation is simply not true.

​@@annagraham6204 So you got the ¼ 50ft ridge washer hose? If that's you commented may I ask how long have you had it and does it kink a lot. In comparison to the yamatics on this video ,would you go with ridge washer still or a yamatic. I'm leaning towards the green yamatic only because of my funds man and I really need a longer hose got the 20 ft hose that came from the damn Sunjoe spx3000 . I also have a ridge washer stubby gun with that slide lock for the pressure washer trigger so you don't have to stay holding down.

[@2down4up]

I just picked up a Greenworks GPW3001 and right in the manual it claims it comes with an Uber Flex hose. While the hose is really nice I don’t think it’s a real Uber Flex brand hose. It feels good but not as flexible as what I imagine a real Uber flex hose, which I’ve never felt, does. Awesome video thanks so much.

[@tren133]

If it says ProPulse on it and has that patent number it should be a genuine uberflex hose. The blue one that came with my Greenworks seems to be genuine at least. I just didn't like the fact that it was only 25 feet long.

[@MrRichardyc]

I got that exact Yamatic green 50ft hose, it's just ok, if Amazon let me trade in the Yamatic plus $20 for the Uberflex, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I've had some Yamatic hoses, and I am a fan. I don't abuse the hose, so they last quite a long time, and they're prices pretty affordably. If you're a hobbiest/enthusiast detailer, Yamatic should serve you just fine. However, I would agree they are not necessarily commercial grade.

[@Auto-Bots.Custom.Detailing]

Josh, I have the yamatic hose in green, that I use at work and mine did the cracking too, but in my opinion I think it breaks the hose in going through the whole thing cracking it the whole way through, mine has been run over several times and is still holding up well after several months. I also have the Uber flex that I am saving for my mobile set up.

[@3rkowtf669]

I have Sun Joe and was thinking upgrading pressure hose to Uberflex 50' but since its not steel braided and so flexible will it hold the pressure steady not causing the unit to surge turning it on and off when not in use.

I have the green yamatic 50’ hose and I have used it about 4 times and it’s already showing significant signs of wear and tear mostly from tire rub vibration with my Westinghouse gas powered 3400psi pressure washer.

[@randybecker7339]

Josh, there's a technique to hand coiling up hoses that will help with the spiraling you're experiencing (even with the Uberflex hose). I believe it comes from the movie industry's technique of winding electrical extension cords to prevent wasting time untangling them. It takes some time to learn but the first coil is like normal - just a "standard" coil - then, without letting go of the hose with the winding hand, you twist your hand inwards until it's palm up and you grab the hose with the "holding" hand. When done properly, you can literally hold one end and throw the rest of the cable outwards and it will fly out completely straight and end up laying flat on the ground with no coils. It's sometimes called "over and under." I'm sure I'm not explaining it very well, but in the end you wind up with a roll of hose that looks just like "normal" but sort of goes "back and forth" instead of a spiral. For those of us without a spool, it will prevent wasting time untangling the hose.

[@MarkCalica]

Do you happen to have a good suggestion for my karcher k5? Apparently I can’t upgrade the hoses. But can you use quick connects? Thanks in advance

[@troyhenry3267]

I already owned a very good 50 foot kobrajet press washer hose but it is not as flexible or pliable that I would prefer, always hard to coil back up but I manage anyway. So I see your recommendation on the UberFlex hose so I decided to buy one. I get it, hook it up, and very dissapointed. the pressure coming out of my gun was reduced tremendously. I switched back to my other hose, and got the normal pressure I was use to. very strong. Also this uberflex hose was much thinner in diameter than my kobrajet hose. Needless to say, i'm returning back to Amazon and getting my money back. Terrible hose.

[@ZelenKai]

After 2 years of usage, my uberflex failed on me. A section of the hose got bloated and stretched out. It bloated to the size of a small watermelon and looked like it was going to explode. I looked into the warranty but they only warranty pressure hoses for 1/2 a year. I did enjoy using it so I ordered the higher pressure red hose from them. Hopefully this one will hold up.

[@tren133]

No garden hose is a completely different size and connector. Basically garden hose connects to the inlet of your pressure washer, and then the pressure washer hose like the Uberflex or yamatic will connect between the pressure washer outlet to the wand/gun. All pressure washers will come with a hose, but the cheaper models come with a crappy stiff hose which is hard to use and kinks, which is why he is recommending and testing these aftermarket hoses. Some of the slightly better pressure washers will come with a better hose though. For instance the Greenworks Pr 2300 electric pressure washer that he tested on this channel that you can buy at Lowe's for $250 comes with a 25 foot uberflex hose.

[@jthiel0711]

Try a 1.1 orifice. That will get you thicker foam. If still not try changing your ratio of soap (ie. add more soap). I believe most use around 1:10 ratio (you are at 1:11.3; either increase your soap or decrease the water.)

To be honest I have the same problem with the Red Uberflex 30' hose. When unrolling the hose I always have to twist the line to straighten, the hose would wind itself up after walking back and forth a couple of times. I should've have went with the blue uberflex.

[@Martyntd5]

All hoses, ropes and cables twist when they are coiled. Every time you make a loop, you put a twist in it. There are different coiling techniques that are used to combat this, but the 'over and under' technique is probably best for a hose. It just basically involves put a counter twist into alternate loops. Problem solved. There are lots of videos which demonstrate it.

[@Averna222]

You should check out the over under technique for coiling hoses and wires. You'll thank me later :)
