just been to B & Q to see if I could find an extension hose for my Karcher pressure washer and found this

Best bit is the price under £15....all it does is extend from the washer to the start of your orginal hose ...so I have now got a ten metre hose...and it makes life so much easier

Nice find there Rob, I just source some off a guy on Ebay who makes up the hose to whatever length you want and I think it was around £2 per metre or something...........

I have one of them.

You do get a little pressure drop but it just makes it so much easier to use.

Thanks for the tip.

Am I the only one that finds the tube to suck in cleaner to be positioned way too low? It seems if you have any decent size bottle of cleaner, you end up unable to get much of it out. I must say the layout of hoses and power cord on the Karchers is diabolical.

Excellent. Always thought the hose on my pressure washer was a bit short this should help if I can find one. If these fir Karchers they should also fit the Aldi Powercraft model that's made by Karcher (which is the machine I have).

Nice find. I've never really thought about it as mine's on the end of a 30m hose reel, so I just move the Karcher nearer the car if need be.

Might still have a look though

I bought a 10m replacement hose from an eBay shop Direct Hoses for just under £30, these are the industrial quality hoses that will not kink like the cheap stuff that Karcher use.

Thanks for this - just what I needed for my Karcher, so got one this morning It being Wednesday, I got 10% off and there's 1% cashback from the credit card. All ready to go for the grand outlay of £13.34. Bargain

The quality of this hose seems much better than the original Powercraft (supposedly made by Karcher) one and is rated to 190 something or other (bar?). The hose itself is clear and you can see metal braiding reinforcement. Very impressed with it.

I'm clearly lazy as that's my only reason for buying
