Changing washer pressure hose?

[Ipsdrew]

I'm currently running the Mighty Clean 1800psi 1.5 gal/min electric pressure washer and want to swap the factory 35ft hose to a 50ft or 70ft hose. I will be keeping the original 3/8" hose size but have concerns about loosing pressure or volume being that it's a smaller electric unit. Has anyone swapped to a longer hose and was there any noticeable difference in performance? Upgrading to a gas unit isn't an option at this time due to noise.

I have a Greenworks 1700 psi electric pressure washer, with an extra 25' hose. I think the machine comes with 25', so 50' total now. I haven't noticed a drop in pressure, but it does take and extra second or two to pressurize after releasing the handle. It also seem to take forever to completely bleed the air from the lines now.

I enjoy the extra length, it keeps me from having to scoot the machine around as I work.
