Karcher pressure washers

[Richard Simpson Mark II]

I have had many years of faithful service out of a little Karcher 200 MB pressure washer, but the high-pressure hose has finally had enough and failed in two places. Genuine replacement hoses are £70+, and they don't list one specifically for my machine.
Does anyone know of a suitable replacement, or should I just pay £50 for a Spear & Jackson pressure washer from Argos?
I try very hard not to be part of the throwaway society, but it really is stupid when a simple component costs more than a complete new machine.

Go to your local tractor shop and I bet they’ll make one for you

Have a look at Karcher outlet store, I've had a couple o A grade over the years, no discernible difference from new, same guarantee just fair bit cheaper, I think they've started to charge a nominal sum now for 12 months guarantee but still a great price

A hose us a hose...just get right psi one with correct fjttings....try your local hose doctor or agri shop..

Karchers are good and have great aftermarket service....dont go to argos

Look on eBay, couple years ago found a chap who would make up hoses any length, and for most pressure washers, he had all the fittings, and made up extensions for drains etc. Got a feeling he was in Germany, but was not out the way on price.

You probably already know this, but be careful to get a hose with the right fitting at the machine end. They changed the way the fitting clips in a few years ago and now you have to make sure you get the right one.

Here’s a thing I’m pretty sure my loca tractor shop that mocks up hoses would take the ends out and refit them

Thanks for the replies...you are dead right, it is the fittings that are the problem

No shortage of tractor shops here in Cornwall!

Get an Aldi Workzone one, we replaced our K7 with one last year and it’s every bit as good and it doesn’t self destruct at the first sign of frost.

I managed to get a replacement hose for mine on eBay a while back.


But then needed a new washer altogether a bit later on and managed to get a karcher on a special offer from Halfords.
