Prsssure washer hose---replace?

19 years ago

I bought a pressure washer from Lowes. A high pressure thin black hose came with the washer. It attaches to the wand is almost plastic in nature and does not wind very easy and also seems to kink as well. I have not used it yet, but can already forsee problems controlling it. Is this a cheap hose? If so, is there a better quality replacement you can buy for a Troybuilt 3000PSI 6.75HP?

Thanks

After market hose kits are available. Are they any better than the original? Not sure. Mine is rubber, but also, not very flexible when recoiling. Go to Sears or any big box store and compare the quality difference. I really don't use my washer enough to have it really bother me, but when I do use it, I end up trying to untangle the hose more than once to get it to recoil properly. You would think for what even the cheaper gas models cost, they could at least supply them with a hose that remains flexible enough condusive with the working pressure of the washer.
