  Did the job perfectly! 21 October 2014

  After suffering from blocked drains and having paid so called 'professional' firms large amounts of money for drain cleaning in the past, I decided to give this Karcher product a try. I should say that I have an engineering background in pipework systems and I had the benefit of the original house plans showing the run of the sewers so this job was somewhat easier than it might have otherwise been. I deployed the jetting hose as described in the supplied instructions and it immediately began to have the desired, if slightly disgusting, effect. The nozzle propels itself along the drain nicely and I found the best technique was to allow it to run in about a metre, then pull it back, before letting it run on again. Repeating this cycle a number of times before allowing it to run on another metre resulted in a clear drain pipe in no time at all. The only downside is that the hose is supplied tightly coiled, and like all hoses, it has a mind of its own and wants to recoil with no encouragement! Also, be careful if you encounter any intermediate manholes along the run of pipework. I did, and the self-coiling mentioned above caused the hose to trap itself in the manhole.

  bought this as we already have a karcher pressure washer but needed a longer drain cleaner as our drain cleaner was too short. Would recommend.

  Fabulous product - paid for itself many times over. 26 July 2013

  Due to a slightly bad drain design, and an over-exuberant child. the drain from the downstairs bathroom at the front of our property, feeding to the main to the rear, often gets blocked and "backs-up". First time I called out a mate to help me unblock it, and it took a few hours (wasting the first 45 minutes because I told him the drain flowed a different direction.) using traditional rods, screws and plungers. A horrible, messy job! This occurs 2-3 times per year - at least now I spot the signs quite early... Rather than depend on a mate or call-out to a "drain specialist" I went looking for some drain rods, and made a punt on purchasing the 15m model of kit... I was very skeptical, but it is amazing! Now it takes about 30 minutes to carefully feed it from the rear mains up the blocked one - and a few cycles of letting it "bump" into the blockage, and pulling it back a foot or so -- repeatedly... Clears the blockage really quickly and efficiently! What's more - I only have to lift one drain cover (at the rear) to clear the job -rather than the ones at the front too... I also repeat the job up each direction of the main drain and feeds to it (including neighbors) for good measure - and it has a massive reach. The most difficult part about using it is cleaning it afterwards - I roll it up, and dump it in a bucket with water & detergent or bleach for about 15 minutes, then into a bucket of clean water, before packing away. Goggles and gloves a must - perhaps also protective clothing, but as they say in the video - avoid using the pressure for the first / last few feet to avoid any nasty splash-back! So, this small purchase has probably saved £100s in call out fees... :-)

  Excellent product 09 April 2013

  This has been a godsend for our very old drainage system to our septic tank Which gets blocked on a regular basis ! It saves us lots of money and is very easy and convenient to use.

  Good product - but bit pricey... 25 September 2012

  I purchased this to clear a rainwater drain that had got blocked and it did the job very well. It is a bit pricey but worth purchasing just to have it available when these problems occur.

  ease of use 15 August 2012

  Having issues with a particular drain every 6 months. normal rod cleaning delayed blocking but was never clean enough. However with rods and cleaning kit coupled together, makes a formidal cleaning device. Then completing process by using cleaning kit by itself, one realised, that once drain was throughly clean the hose was able to propel itself along the drain, under its on steam. Made possible by the angle of jets on head

  Best Purchase of the Year ! 13 December 2011

  What a fantastic product....I had a blockage in my main drain, which a local drain specialist couldn't clear as the bore of his hose was too large to go around the U bend of the gulley and with no other rodding point, the only option he could offer was to dig the side of my house up! This tool though cleared the blockage in 5 minutes and although my son almost passed out with the smell as it was clearing the blockage, the process was completed efortlessly and the tool is now cleaned and back in the box and stored in my shed in case I need it any point in the future. Great Product Karcher Well Done !
