  I have purchased this specific KARCHER product in the 7.5m length.

  I have cleaned the gutters and the house drains. It really does a great job. And the hose is quite flexible and can reach difficult areas. (As long as the hose fits inside)

  This hose is black in color and not yellow as shown in the skroutz photos. (I don't know if it's because of a different batch or not??) But I mention it so that anyone ordering it knows what to expect.

  As for the cleaning, it cleans the pipes very well and with a little extra effort, you will have good results from the cleaning. (Of course, the use of some cleaning chemicals beforehand helps soften the dirt) But it still handles the dirt quite well.

  This hose fits KARCHER models K2-K3-K4-K5-K7 and has a pressure of up to 180Bar.

  Of course, to get the full potential of this hose, the pressure of your pressure washer plays a big role. I use it with a KARCHER K5 pressure washer, which has a pressure of 150Bar.

  Now let's talk about a design detail. The front part of this hose (the ball at the front) is designed in such a way that when the hose sprays water from the specially designed notches it has, it can simultaneously move inside the pipe, whether the pipe is vertical or horizontal. (This happens due to the pressure of the water) The hose itself moves inside the pipe.

  Now, as for whether it's worth it, I would say YES, as long as we keep in mind that the pressure of the pressure washer matters. (And this applies to all pressure washer brands on the market that have similar products.)

  Having written a product review at the store from which I purchased it, I am transferring it here to help as much as I can. This is a purchase that requires a lot of attention. Not that the product is not good, it is of very good quality, but it does its job just fine; the question is, what exactly is its job and how well does it do it? I was torn between giving it 3 and 4 stars, if I were to rate it based on what I would like it to do, I would give it 3 stars, but based on the manufacturer's instructions and specifications, it is correct to give it 4 stars. It loses one star only because of the lack of a front hole in the head, meaning that if you encounter a good blockage, let's say from dirt and branches, you can only do the job by pushing the hose, as well as the intermittent operation of the pressure washer trigger, you will be able to do the job if you do it, the front hole would solve many blockage problems.

  Question 1. Up to what pipe diameter does it clean? No one knows. The manufacturer's instructions do not mention it. What the manufacturer's instructions mention in a diagram is that it fits in a 40mm pipe, which I consider very reasonable given the size of the cable and the head. In the Amazon reviews, some people mention that it works in a 100mm pipe, which I tried and it does indeed work decently. I believe that the manufacturer considers the 40mm diameter as ideal.

  Question 2. How flexible is it? I would say it is quite flexible, with some slight difficulty it can even fit in 90-degree bends, forget about closed U-shaped bends.

  Question 3. Should I get the 15 meters? Should I have plenty of it? No, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will tell you straight up, we have 100 bar pressure and if we pull an extension of 40 meters, what pressure will reach the end? 100 bar? The counter-argument is that 40 meters are different from 15 meters, but the pressure still drops even at 15 meters, which is twice the length of 7.5 meters, therefore, there is more friction. Users complain that the 15 meters in the K series of Karcher were useless due to pressure drop, while others do not, but you do not face this dilemma with 7.5 meters. It definitely has to do with the power of the pump of the machine you connect it to.

  Question 4. Does it clean well? Here I have to tell you that it depends on the materials and the buildup. I have the impression that it cleans soft materials excellently to very well, but it will struggle with thicker materials and especially if the buildup is heavily ingrained, it may not be able to do the job at all. I used it to clean a 100mm pipe with recent buildup from construction materials, it cleaned it, but for a 10-meter horizontal pipe with a slight slope (6 meters on one side and 4 on the other), it took me about 1 hour, it was not as easy as I thought, quite the opposite, as it tired me out since I struggled for a long time to do a good job. I did not expect that, to be honest.

  Question 5. Will I be able to clean the main drain of my apartment building that leads to the sewer? If the diameter is 100mm (at most 120mm) and below (I think EYDAP connects with 120), and the various buildups have not solidified, then possibly yes. Personally, I will continue to rely on professionals for unclogging this point, but I will no longer continue to pay extra for a professional after purchasing this accessory for the rest of the pipe sections, as I have been quite satisfied with the results it produces.
  I use it with the 7.5m hose and the Karcher K3 full control.
