Kranzle 10m Drain / Pipe Cleaning Hose

The drain cleaner is exactly what I was expecting and is designed to fit the Kranzle 1050 Home series as it has a smaller bayonet fitting than others that Kranzle sell, that are more expensive. Its fine for what I wanted and is able to climb up a vertical plastic drainpipe and take itself along a typical drain soil pipe. It does however have three drawbacks, hence the 4 star rating. Firstly, the cleaner has no forward-facing jet as the more powerful units and hoses have so it relies on force and the rear facing jets to clear debris. Secondly I would have preferred a 20m hose but Kranzle do not sell one in the “home” series and lastly, though the hose it pretty flexible, I could not get it to go round a sump trap, I suspect other hoses would have the same trouble.
