SunJoe SPX3000 longer hose?

Lee,
Thanks for the help. I'll post pics when I get it together.
Purchased a sunjoe3000 (from Walmart with 3 years of extra protection for $18), a Simpson 50' hose, brass fittings for water supply, and the wand/quick connect/short pipe supplies from northern tool. I am looking forward to the short wand set up that will be great for foam cannon and its ease of use.
Thanks for sharing your set up. I definitely benefitted from your previous experience -- it made it easy. Can't wait!

No problem!! I look forward to hearing your feedback! I'm waiting for the spx3000 to go on sale again and plan to get one to replace my greenworks. I tried two ryobi models, but I'm more intrigued by the spx3000.
While I've never had an issue, I do believe there is a 14mm M22 as well as a 15mm M22. It is stupid. The Simpson hose accommodates both, so I didn't have any problem with the quick connects from HD. Hopefully you get it sorted. To heck with the sunjoe hose... Just get a better, longer, new hose!

Anywhere to buy the Simpson hose in a store? I'd love to pick one up today if possible.
Not sure....ordered from Amazon. I found the hose cheaper on another site, sent the info to Amazon, and the next day they dropped the price by $10. Got it for $50 and free shipping.

Unfortunately Amazon only has the 25'. Where else did you see it online?

Actually, 40225 is the 25' version on Amazon. The 50' 40226 comes and goes on Amazon. I had to watch for it and when it came back to the site, I bought it for $46. It is gone now, but I'm sure will be back.
Yep this is exactly what I found out yesterday when trying to test the pressure using a gauge. The hose fittings and subsequent washer/lance fittings are bigger than the standard m22 fittings.
I had to swap my entire hose over but had a leak near the lance. You may need a new lance along with a hose. By the time you incur all those costs the value is negated.

Lowes sells their Blue Hawk branded hose, which I believe is the same as the Simpson. It looks and feels the same and has the same MorFlex technology. The downside is that it is 40' instead of 50'. But, it is available in store, albeit slightly more expensive.
Shop Blue Hawk 5/16-in x 40-ft Pressure Washer Hose at Lowes.com

Nice! Our trigger setup is very similar! And I love the hose reel. This is the one thing I'm missing...storage for the pw hose. Is that a 50' hose or is it longer? Also, do you have another hose coming out of the reel to connect it to the SunJoe, or do you unwind the whole thing and remove it from the reel to use it?

It's the 50' 3/8 Northerntool hose. Yes, I unwind the whole thing. The reel is just for storage.

That's weird, CaveRacing and I have no problem seeing the pictures.

Whats the point of the pressure gauge?
Just curious as rated PSI for most machines is measured at the tip of the nozzles. Meaning, if you put the tip of the nozzle right on the surface to be cleaned, you'd get XXXX PSI of pressure.
Compression is still happening in the lance and tip (at least if the tip has a smaller diameter orifice than the wand). Measurements at the hose connection port are somewhat inconsequential as the fitting diameter, hose diameter, wand diameter and taper and the selected nozzle can all still affect the final PSI rating.
