Does anyone ever really use 100m of microbore

50m should be enough for most domestics surely?

i am skint btw or i would just buy 100m

[deeege]

I do probably 4 or 5 times a month. Stretch yourself and get the full 100m or you may regret it later.

[koopmaster]

I do several times a month.  hate it...

[tonycarr]

if you do runs of house its better to have the 100mtrs saves you keep having to re position your van.

my brother in law actually has 200mtrs on his reel, a lot of work reeling it all in though

go for 100mtrs you'll need it at times

Not often. Just buy 50m, then if you find you need more you can always buy another 50m and join it by way of a barb. And just to add, in the past i was consumed with not moving the van and dragging the hose everywhere across streets. As its turned out for me, i will move my van . Its far easier and quicker.

Not used all 100mtr yet but close. I am going to get a 50 mtr reel using 6mm this time. Use it for main hose and swap over for big jobs.
Problem is 100mtr of 8mm full of water is quite a lot to hump in and out all the time. If you have a system that reel stays in van, then its ok

6mm id or 8m id?

[Mick Kent]

Everyday i use the max 100m of hose. Most roads i have fronts scatered throughout the whole street, im tempted to add more hose to my reel to make it 150meters so i can do even more from the same spot to save reeling in and re setting up losing time.

Better to have, and not need it, than need it, and not have it 

[DeLuce]

Better to have, and not need it, than need it, and not have it 

Totally agree with this.
When I first started wfp I used 60mtrs and found it was just short for quite a few jobs together on my round, a real PITA. I've had 100m for a while now and is so much better. I don't reel out the whole lot very often, but I often go over the 70m mark.
So, get the 100m

Best of both worlds  chop 30 metres off, put connectors on, keep in the van and only connect when you need it that's what I do.
Hardly ever have to use it.

[Arnold Palmer]

I deliberately park 100 meters away from windows that need cleaned, that way I always use all of my hose.

Yip, no flies on me.

[Smurf]

I sometimes need 200m of hose when doing blocks of flats etc.

They say length doesn't matter but if it stops you doing the job then it does

Good idea

i've always used 6mm id easier to reel in

[8weekly]

With the Pure Freedom professional hose, 100m goes on very nicely and as long as it's bolted down, it's not overly strenuous to reel in.

  excellent - there must be a book of sayings applicable to window cleaning

What's the advantage of that? Surely it's easier to have the extra 30m coiled up on the reel where it should be?
