Great, good quality, seems durable and more robust than the standard hose that comes with the pressure washer.
And doesn’t kink as much as people make out. Bring the hose out straight, let the water run through without power (this then helps extend the life of your pressure washer by not starving the motor of water) and away you go.
Of course it may kink in parts but what do you expect when it’s stored in a similar way
A really great addition to my Karcher K2 power washer. Always found the supplied hose a bit short and ended up dragging the washer, hose and power cable around when washing the car etc. Now I can just leave the power washer out of the way and clean away with just the hose. Well constructed. Is thicker than the supplied K2 hose but really easy to install.
Others have commented on it being “looped” because of the tight packaging. I put mine straight out of the box into a sink of hot tap water for 15 minutes to soften it; then undid the clips and stretched it out in the garden to dry. Now there are no kinks or tendency to roll up at all.
I got this hose for my Karcher and never knew it had a male female connection as I was wondering how it works on my old Karcher 3.99, but then I realize it came apart as my Karcher is a old one I think it was the first one that came out so the hose fits it and you can take the hose off making it a lot easier to store and keep in good nick I would Recommend this seller as their is Germany not China.
The product listing includes compatible Karsher models (K2 to K7).
I have a 4 year old K2 so I assumed it would work. However this extension hose will only work with Karcher washers that have ‘quick connect’ high pressure hoses, so check before ordering if you are buying this for an existing washer.
I later brought a new K4 washer, so I could use this hose. It is very well made, however the hose has a ‘memory’ and wants to stay tightly coiled. When you try and pull it straight it drags the washer along the ground which is annoying. If anyone has any hints or tips on how to stop it coiling up please reply to this review.
Bought as the standard 6 meter not quite long enough & end up moving my pressure washer multiple times.
Item came well packed and in good time as expected.
Once unpacked simply plug into the pressure washer and original hose and good to go. Oddly enough this extender hose looks better quality than the original karcher 6 meter hose.
In use no difference to pressure washer but the benefit of double the distance as now have 12 meters and much easier to use when cleaning the car.
Plus as we are now into autumn and winter weather will make cleaning off the patio much easier too
I have no doubt it’ll be effective when I use it in anger. It was a pain having to keep moving my K4, the water hose and the extension lead. This will make that job required less frequently. My outside tap and water butts are in the middle of my ‘plot’ so I can now do jobs at the back and front without having to move anything.
For older machines (mine is a K2.900) you may think it does not fit when you first take it out of the box as there are no instructions for fitting. I found a useful video on YouTube that told me how to fit it, otherwise it would have been a return to Amazon. You have to remove the large end of the supplied hose which is on a thread (large adjustable wrench and vice or plyers may be needed if its on tight) this screws onto the pressure washer its self once you have unscrewed the existing hose. The washer then accepts the new hose snap fitting end and the other threaded end takes the old hose. You will then have a good quality very useful extension to hose fitted giving6M extra reach.
The hose works perfectly with no loss of pressure, the only bind being the coiling of the extension.Its not that big a deal but slightly annoying.I have stretched it across the garage, trapping it at each end to keep it straight to see if it will ease the coiling .Don’t let that put you off it is still a good buy.
Overall this is a great addition to any Krcher K pressure washer.
In addition the k2 requires you to remove the quick connect and attach it to the pressure washer as shown in the images
You will not regret getting an extension hose in spite of these two quibbles, it will transform your power washing experience! It is a quality product at a good price!
As mentioned by some of the other reviews here, it isn’t entirely obvious right away how you’re supposed to attach this to your pressure washer. Luckily, I had read the review before purchase that mentioned a particular Youtube video which demonstrates the exact process.
Assembly was easy after the initial confusion, and the extension works flawlessly. No leaks or drips to speak of. I bought mine to be lazy and leave my K2 mounted on the garage wall. I can now walk around the whole car in one go without dragging the pressure washer unit and power cable around with me. No fuss, no mess.
I spent 3 weekends pressure spraying my roof. Much of it could only be reached by sitting on the apex with a safety harness attached to the chimney and my K2 also strapped to it. Having to move the sprayer due to the short hose supplied was really restrictive so I bought this.
As others have written,the benefits of longer reach are obvious so not worth repeating so this is a really useful accessory for your Karcher.
Knocked one star off as I can’t believe the price for a relatively simple hose. Although Amazon usually have this for 25, many places sell it for 39. I snapped it up when an Amazon seller listed it at 19.50 which I think is a bit more realistic. That said, on receiving it I can see it is good quality and well made.
It’s very stiff and springy so although gives you greater reach it does make the lance harder to use.
I can confirm this DOES fit a K2. Well it certainly fits my K2 compact. However, contrary to what others have written, this does not connect to the sprayer directly. It simply can’t as it doesn’t have a screw attachment. This attaches to the original hose which simply clicks in as the end of the extension hose into the lance. The other way around would be better as the more flexible original hose would make using it easier.
All in all though I do recommend this as it will save a lot of time and hassle on big pressure spraying jobs such as roofs or patios.
The product is fine other than;
(1) because of it’s thickness, it currently has a permanent “set” which limits it’s effectiveness. I’m hoping that after a few warm days it may unroll itself!
(2) It’s a pity that Krcher just can’t be bothered to give a few simple instructions as to how to connect it. It may be obvious to most, but it wasn’t immediately obvious to me and a few “pictograms” would have been useful.
(3) From a design point of view, you are connecting a plastic screw thread on the Krcher washer, to a metal screw thread on the hose fitting . . . . be very careful that you don’t cross-thread the plastic fitting!
