Recommend me an electric lawn mower and garden hose please

[celica88]

Front and rear grass garden is no bigger than 10x10m each
Electric wired is fine. Our old Bosch has died, but then again it was old and blade was blunt.

Also looking for garden hose. Something 30m at a guess, as the tap is front of the house and needs to reach rear garden for lawn and flowerbeds, then needs to reach the front driveway for car cleaning, passed the front garden of about 10metres.

I’ll look at Stihl

Not looking at collapsable due to wanting to use pressure washer

Hose: Karcher Primoflex - zero issues in 7 years of regular use.

That’s good value, thanks
Need to research how it fairs with pressure washer

I’ve found the best hose is tricoflex.

Is that the ultimate tricoflex hozelock or a brand itself?

You're not thinking of using it on the 'pressure' side of a pressure washer though, are you? You'll need something more than 24 Bar burst pressure that this has!

I am looking for hose for a power washer
Probably for a Karcher k5 compact

Please explain what’s best required as a match?

It's fine to use ordinary domestic hose to feed water to the Karcher, but not on the pressure side, after the Karcher. For that, you would need a Karcher extension hose with the correct fittings. Even a small pressure washer can develop anything up to 85Bar/1200psi

Ah ha
Got you
No the outlet from pressure washer would be what’s supplied by the unit

Thanks

Dead impressed with the Flymo EasiStore I bought last year - big advantage being the obvious storage issues.

Super quick to pull out, whizz round the lawn and put away, doesnt take up half the shed.

Corded is absolutely fine so long as you mow away from your power point. I do 170msq of front and back lawn with no issues an never get tangled - you just need to think about what direction your going in and where your cord runs.



Hose - use yellow tricoflex.

Thanks
