I've got the standard hose the machine comes with but it quite a pain when useing the lance.
Has anyone here got or knows if they do a more flexible hose ?
Thanks in advance.

I think you might struggle to find anything that is very flexible, but I stand to be corrected. Let's see.  A quick "google" doesn't find much. I expect I'm "teaching my granny to suck eggs" here, so apologies, but remember the hose has to withstand very high pressure, which won't go hand in hand with making it super flexible. (Needs thick side walls). Also remember, once the lance is shut off and there is high water pressure in the hose, that will also act to stiffen the hose anyway. What I do find are the supplied lengths of hose on the lance are minimal. I use a long extension hose and leave the pump in one place, which is less of a chore. |

Yep , I know to discharge the pressure before it's put away 👍 It's more during use - having to move the machine around. It'l be easier to buy a longer hose or extension. Thanks chaps. 👍 |

The better hoses on Karcher have always been on the HD/Commercial machines in 10 metre lengths. If you can confirm your DOMESTIC probably “K” range Karcher machine’s hose output starts with an M22 MALE thread, you can buy copy hoses and extensions readily on ebay. Karcher hoses and guns require lottery wins to finance.

Thanks chaps. 👍 If you have a K model, then I have a spare hose and gun, plus an extension hose as well, if you want to make an offer for one or other - or even both! both are genuine Karcher products (kept them after the machine failed and the new Karcher has a different fitting) |

I'll bare it in mind David, tbh - I don't use it often enough anyway. I bought mine from their online seconds shop half price. Maybe 5 years ago. |
