Kärcher Universal Hose Connector Plus with Aqua Stop 2.645-194.0

Well known brand that’s hard to better. Good value for two couplers and they work a treat.

If it is, you need one of these - you'll avoid those unwanted leakages and you can feel assured that you won't leave any unsightly puddles around the place. They're also easy to fit. Just unscrew the cap off the adaptor, slide your hose in as far as it can go and tighten the cap back on and, eh presto, no more unsuspecting discharges of water from your equipment. But enough of the euphemisms, I specifically bought this to ensure a good connection to my Karcher K2 high-pressure washer and it does exactly that. Of course, it means this same adaptor can fit snugly to other devices I may use around the house and garden. For instance, some time back I bought one of those hanging basket spray lances that was notorious for leaking at the base - so I was always wetting myself (sorry for that one, it just slipped out) however, I can now feel confident of staying dry whenever I use it.In summary, this isn't cheap but it's a quality adaptor that does the job it is intended for. It's also not the most exciting product I've ever reviewed, but it is something I can unreservedly recommend. So, to all my green-fingered brothers and sisters out there, go out (or rather stay in) and buy one of these - you won't regret it.

Arrived as stated. We'll packaged. It is robust and made from what feels like quality plastic. It's not a flimsy item. The mechanism itself has been put together to a high standard and it feels sturdy when attached to my hose. Really easy to attach and genuinely only took me about 4 minutes from start to finish. The 'plastic nut' tightens very adequately and securely to your hose. I used it with the Kärcher K2 and it worked divinely, far better then any other, similar items out there! It is an essential (you don't need this if you want to use a Kärcher by the way but it really is worth the money chaps!) piece of kit if your using a Kärcher pressure washer as it gives you added confidence that the nozzle won't just pop off under pressure. It should last some years with a little tlc. Time will tell but I'd certainly recommend this. Its a good'n!

good quality

Good

This connector is great! It grips the other part very well, unlike some other well known brands, and is easy to release.

Most expensive one that I've ever bought, but also the only one that does what it should.I used this to connect a normal garden hose to my Karcher jet washer and, for the first time ever, washed my car completely without the hose becoming disconnected at any time. A simple thing, but no other hose connector has ever achieved this. Well worth the price.

I had Karchers "Premium" model prior to this one, which unfortunately got dropped on the floor and due to its age (3 years) cracked so I had to replace it, decided to give this a shot.It works just fine, however in just a few short months I've noticed the yellow starting show signs of fading so I'm pretty confident this won't last me anywhere near as long as the "Premium" version did which (currently) only costs a couple of pounds more.
