Handy an saves rolling up a hose

Can you plug a power washer into it ok? Will it expand too much if you can?

I think you need a reinforced hose to feed a powerwasher to avoid collapse although it might depending on your tap water pressure.

Aye i use ours for washing the cars every sunday an she waters the plants with it
Think it came with the ends for the washer an sprinkler part for watering stuff

Have one for the power hose and it's brilliant. Our tap is in the garage so the fact the hose has a shut off valve at the end means no spills

Ive had two and they have both burst. Randomly just let go when washing the car.

Had one myself and it split after a few months. Outer fabric was fine but the inner part had split in two.

Went back to using the normal yellow hozelock hose I've had for years after that.

Handy when they are working but don't last long, the inner tube splits.

These are not recommended to be used in conjunction with a power hose !

My nilfisk (c130 so nothing fancy) power washer collapses even the normal yellow Hozelock hoses so I'd be avoiding that. I use Cellfast hoses from eBay which are fairly cheap and reinforced so no issues with the power washer collapsing it.

The grey braided Hozelock stuff is brilliant.
I bought it on a reel many years ago and it's absolutely perfect, it's bolted to the garage and outside all year round and no issues
