B@stard!ng Karcher hoses

[slider]

The stand hose on my Karcher pressure washer must be the most stress inducing piece of kit on the planet! It's forever getting tangled in knots and kinks......

Anyone found a decent kink free replacement?

Treat it with a bit of care should last for years and do not drive over it.

Get a swivel adapter that plugs in between the hose and the gun, I bought one last year, wish I had done done so a long time ago.
They are available via amazon or direct from Karcher. Check that it's the correct fitting for your model.

Buy a professional quality hose

AVA make brilliant hoses if you mean the bit that runs from the washer itself to the attachments. It helps if the way it connects to the attachments allows full 360 movement which the AVA does. I have been impressed with everything from AVA so far. More money but you can see why when in use.

I also like the low centre of gravity of the machine. You can drag it around the car it never falls over. Good bit of kit.

I feel your pain, and will be watching this thread for all the recommendations. I have the K5 which has a 'helpful' hose storage winding mechanism on the back, which only makes the coiling worse, infuriating.

Also got a K5 with the wind up drum…

Had never crossed my mind that you could get a swivel connection

Irrelevant at the moment anyway with hosepipe ban
