Yes you heard me our 17 year old used it the other day. They even knew what it was and didnt ask if it had an app. Good power for what I wanted it for cars and deck. Has good attachments and an easy to use detergent feed …. loses a star as you cant adjust the detergent feed speed. Also no brush on deck cleaner. Pict looks like it should have one
Reasonably priced, very light to carry, does the job any household would want. Cleaned the stubborn ground in dirt and stains etc off of our patio with relative ease after the winter. Very pleased.
Does a good job. Our patio is 30′ x 6′ and it’s ok for this area. If you have a larger area to do I would suggest a larger model
very good product , once assembled does a very good job . only 1 stupid bugbear as the unit needs electricity and water depending on how far you are working from your supply you do have a lot of stuff trailing . is a bit annoying when your tap connection pops of as you are then got to watch out for trip hazards . apart from that small compact powerful machine
I bought this as an early birthday present to myself (I know, how sad for a soon-to-be-26-year-old!). I am absolutely amazed by this powerful little machine. It has completely transformed my garden. The paving hasn’t looked this good since I first moved into my house 4 years ago. I had been tempted to hire someone to do it for me, but am so glad I chose to do it myself instead as it is very satisfying. I’m going to be tackling the fence next as have already done a little bit and it’s really restoring the colour & life of the wood again. Thank you, Karcher!
I really enjoy using my Karcher power washer, it really has brought new life back to our backyard and patio area. I had cleaned (scrubbed these areas with bleach and our garden hose) however they always looked a little bit dirty., and by the time a few weeks had gone by – well you would have thought these areas had never been washed. However, my backyard and patio are still clean and fresh four weeks later after a single use! And any dirt or moss is quickly brushed up leaving these areas looking clean and fresh.
I have also used this washer to wash my car, I drive around 500 miles a week, and due to the amount of salt used on the roads in Northern Ireland, my car is always dirty in the Winter time and has been really difficult to wash. However, the Karcher quickly and easily washed all the dirt, salt and grime off my car leaving it almost as clean as new.
This machine did an excellent job of my front entrance. Great on wood bench. A powerful bit of kit. Really pleased. Good value and of course one of the best brands
I took me a few minutes to work out how it worked but once I did it cleans well and now my patio looks clear of the green moss..
Much better than my previous one
This is quite powerful and works well
Would I buy again? Definitely
My last Karcher lasted 14 years but I doubt this one will last that long because a reduction in material quality to reduce costs is very obvious , seems flimsy compared to my old one.
Was sceptical that it wasn’t the most expensive Karcher, but shouldn’t have doubted it. Cleans the patio with ease (although I find the cleaning solution makes no difference) and the car looks fab.
I only used the power washer this Evening for the first time and the different nozzles we’re great, changing between the 2 where so easy, great for the patio, and drive way
I can’t praise this pressure washer enough, so easy to assemble and just keeps impressing me. The pressure it de livers is outstanding for the price tag and the attachment for cleaning patios is a game changer.
This replaced an old Karscher washer that eventually stopped working. This one has a higher wattage motor than the old one but is much less powerful. How can that be? Barely strong enough to do the job.
Used it with the T1 racer surface cleaner. Brilliant job.
I was looking for a replacement power wash having lost my previous Karcher to my son ‘borrowed’ it but forgot to return it. I did a lot of research and looked at the reviews and it was obvious that Karcher remains the original and the best. The new one is even better than the previous one, much lighter but the same power, easier to assemble and manoeuvre. This was a great buy.
Easy to set up & use , so good for many jobs.
My partner bought this and he loves it easy to use and now he jet washes everything in sigh
The cleaner worked really well on our decked area. Came up like new. The old stone patio area was a more difficult job as hasn’t been done for many years (previous owners) bur second attempt was much better.
I love that this has different attachments. The most powerful one is great for getting hard dirt from patios. I use the circular attachment near the house to save the paintwork as less splashback and then the soft attachment to hose the dirt to where I want it to go. The only negative is that the handle does not stay on but that is not a minor issue – also I had to utube some of the instructions to assemble as it was not clear. I definitely recommend
Very happy with my new washer. Father in law commandeered my original one so I upgraded. Patio washing attachment is a godsend. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Bought this to replace my last Karcher k2.21 that finally gave up after 10 years of continuous use, hope to get another ten years out of this one. Fantastic produc
Quickly took out the weeds and moss in block paving. The hose is a little short so you need to move the unit a lot during cleaning
Easy to put together light in weight, great for jet washing my garden.
Finally got one! Cleaned my whole patio and looks like new. Great attachments and easy to use. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
If you intend to use the snow blaster with this use only karcher as found other wands don’t work correctly
Used it to clean patio flags. I’d forgotten they were actually this colour! As usual Karcher is reliable and does what it’s supposed to.
So far, this has been used to clean my car’s, driveway and patio. It’s works really well
Light weight, easy to use and useful power change modes
I like this product very much I am an older female and have to do many tasks myself I found the product light and easy to use The attachment is exceptionally brillia
The Karcher K 2 is exactly as described in the literature and performs extremely well. It was very easy to assemble and represented good value for money.
Bought my second one of these after my first one gave up (after a very hard life may i add). Got an amazon approved used one even cheaper and it was brand new! Bargain!
This was great for my garden as its not the cleanest and also because as a gardener it can get dirty.
I bought it during Xmas discount and it has been a great help with cleaning slabs. A great price for what it is at the time.
I got three options for the cleaning and used all three. The circular is obviously the best for slabs. It cleans well, does not splash water around and worth its cost. The problem is the slabs should be well paved, otherwise the bumps and height differences make it a bit difficult to use. You would have either a bit of an angle and splash some water out or have small wiggle room and the corners would not be well cleaned. But with well paved slabs, that should not be a problem.
Then the vario extension comes into the game which works fine with different pressure levels to choose. Though vario has hard option on it, i preferred the stand alone hard pressure extension. For some reason it felt like it gave more pressure water and has been the best way to clean moss between slabs.
I tried the detergent that arrived with the package. The pipe/tube is actually inside the machine which is very practical. But I could not get the machine to consume the detergent. Then again it might be me because I had a detergent in another ( Karscher K1?) a while ago and could not get it to work either.
The machine itself is plastic but a decent build. Overall it did a great job with the slabs and I am very happy with the purchase. It felt like a good product and I did not see a reason to go for a larger version for the job I did. Next time, I will check the detergent use instructions better.

Very easy to setup and it doesn’t take long to familiarise yourself to the settings. Have only used it to wash the car at the moment which was so easy using the wash foam then rinsing. Will be using the patio cleaner fitting in the near future. Can’t really fault this machine at all so can highly recommend it.
Very pleased with the performance of this power washer. It’s compact and performs better than expected. The only downside is the pressure hose. It is a little short and very stiff and springy. Overall, considering the discount, this was a super purchase.
As I don’t expect to need the most powerful pressure washer I didn’t want to spend too much money so opted for this model. As some other reviews mention, it does not feel the most robust, but still pretty solid. The clips for attaching the high pressure hose are a bit fiddly and I wouldn’t like to repeatedly remove and replace it as I don’t think the clips would last long, but I see no reason to remove the hose once it is fitted. In use, at full pressure it did a good job of cleaning paving slabs so it should be more than adequate for cleaning cars (using the “car” setting on the adjustable head lance).
Managed to take up chewing gum off the pavement outside my house with ease.
Cleaned driveway and path with the rotation device and saved so much time!, well worth the money!. The difference in the concrete posts was incredible, like new!. The concrete pavement shows the difference between mine and the neighbours driveway. Superb value for money, great little machine and was easy to set up.
This is my third Karcher pressure washer, the first one lasted nearly 12 years, the second about 8 years but I’m not too sure how long this one will last as it seems to be a bit flimsy. The transport handle is quite loose and shaky and the coupling for the pressure hose is plastic and makes me wonder how long it will last.
Another problem is they have changed the connection for the high pressure hose, making my spare hoses redundant, and it is quite shorter than my previous hoses.
On the plus side, it cleans as well as before and I got it for an amazing price, 76 which is quite a bit cheaper than I have paid in the past.
Easy to clip together, lightweight and the nozzles fit into the gun very easily. Pressure is good enough to clean my flags and I particularly like the adjustable nozzle.
Bought this to replace the same type that “died” on me. Absolute bargain in the sale, actually went up 30 the next day
Good little powerwasher, easy to use, found accessories to be compatable to my 15 year old Karcher Cleaner, so that was a bonus, overall a very easy to use washer, only downside is the pressure hose is easy to kink, otherwise 5 stars would have been give
Unit arrived yesterday, dead easy to assemble, the patio attachment and lance made a fantastic job of the patio. Just be aware, I was using a 50m extension lead, but only 15m paid out. After an hour of use, the unit cut out. I checked the water intake filter, removed a dead spider, and washed it clean. No joy, the washer wouldn’t even start now, just made a humming sound. Ok, dear I thought, I knew this was too good to be true.
I disconnected the 50m extension lead and plug the washer directly into the wall socket in the garage, it started a treat and ran OK. I look forward to cleaning the block paving over Christmas, with a fully unwound extension lead. I hope this helps!
I bought K3 power control and did not like the results to be very different then this K2. Hence returned that after one use and sticked to this one.
Pressure is very good and it was quite easy to use with a can of deck cleaner. I cleaned my deck with no problems. Only downside is the length of hose that comes with it. It is 5M and it just doesn’t straightens at all. I had to buy an additional hose of 10M that cost me 25.
Karcher should give the option of choosing hose with every pressure wash and should charge a nominal difference based on length. I now have a 5M hose I will never use.
All in all it is great machine and power tool. Would recommend this unless you have a budget to buy K5 or K7…
bought this to replace my old K2 which had burned out. Was hoping the lance attachment or at least the bayonet connection was the same so my old lance and nozzles could be reused, however not to be. Felt the assemby and construction of the lance is cheaper and flimsier than the old K2 . However, my recently bought car foam applicator attachment fitted perfectly ( had to adapt my old lance for this to fit, forewarning me that changes had been made) What is better however is the variable settings on the standard washer nozzle, as the old one could be a wee bit strong for certain applications.Also the new one allows soap / fluid to be applied with out removing HP nozzle on ” MIX ” setting , and the dirt blaster is exactly the same as my old set -up . All round good product, does what I want it to do ( car, patio, remove old masonry paint from walls , scrub fish tank 2-3 times a year) Just feel it is a wee bit flimsier than old one . Oh, longer HP hose and cable are advantages too.
This arrived this morning and I got straight to doing some power hosing, worked fantastic, the problem I have is the carry handle keeps slipping off every time I lift it, it doesn’t click into place like the other bit did that had to be attached on, it’s rather annoying if I’m honest, might have to get the super glue out and stick it on, don’t really want to do that, but I’ve only been out half an hour and it’s slipped of 4 times already
I did find the assembly instructions a bit vague but I was able to ask a friend who I knew had one to help me. From there on it works like magic, my paths, my summer chairs, the swimming pool so it could be packed away, endless jobs made easy.
Great product but would highly recommend buying the K4 as significantly more power. Definitely worth the extra spend over a K2
This is to replace my Karcher K4 which I also bought from Amazon in 2016, it just refused to turn on, This is a K2 but I find the power adequate for my use, which is car washing and driveway cleaning. The washer weigh is light so its easy to carry around. The hose which came with it is miserly short, good job I still have my old K4 extension hose which fits perfectly. At under 100, its good.
I have always been satisfied with my Karcher Power washer but the old one just reached old age and needed replacing which is why I ordered a replacement which is working well.
I wanted a machine to jet wash a large patio and drive and my wheelie bins. This washer is perfect for my needs, lightweight and very efficient. Frustrating that it falls over so easily due to being lightweight but doesn’t affect function. No where to wrap/store the hose on the machine but not a deal breaker for the price. Very pleased and would recommend.
Great machine easy to put together much lighter in weight than my old one to carry about and does a good job like the old one so very happy with i
Good for the price entry level Karcher, needs longer plug/cable and cable attachment for the lance as not long enough when getting round your car.
I had read many reviews about Karcher pressure washers before going ahead and buying this. I did not want anything too large, or heavy that would not fit in the shed in between uses. When it arrived, I will be honest and say it did look a bit fragile and plastic. I hoped I had not wasted money. The instructions (as with most things these days) are so brief it’s unbelievable. So I took to the Internet for help. Fortunately there are some good video tutorials on YouTube. So eventually this technophobe managed to put the jigsaw together and went off to try out her new toy.
In spite of its fragile appearance, this is a pretty powerful machine. It has cleaned my patio better than j have ever seen it. I tried to clean my car next, as I had also bought the brush attachment for washing cars. Again, it did a decent job.
Of course, there could be improvements made to this (better instructions?) And it does seem to be designed that you will not have everything you may need to do all that you would like with it. That is Karcher out to make more profit. But I am pleasantly pleased with this small pressure washer that you don’t need to be super string to lift, or operate.
Thanks to this little beauty there will be less back breaking scrubbing to spruce up our patio and path! Very happy with this purchase. Simple to use. The hose is long enough for garden use but would need extending for car washing, though don’t see this being an issue.
It would be more helpful if the hose had a hook or some way to keep it tidy when not in use.
Easy to use although the instructions for construction were poor . The electrical flex is entirely to short and I needed to use an extension. I ran it off the garden hose in order to achieve enough length to clean the whole of the patios an area 30 foot by 30 foot.
It is incredibly noisy to use.
i have borrowed another karcher and perhaps the previous model was better as the head on this one doesnt rotate there is no brush seal so nearer the ground which requires less effort to clean the patio.
Bought this for my 84yr old father, who usually washes two cars by hand no hose just buckets of waters most weeks, old style! So he wasn’t too sure when I bought, but once he got his head around the small light weight machine he came around, he loves it! No more filling watering can and bucket up, we did also get an outside tap fitted, also a cheap garden hose, all fitted great onto the machine, it’s so light to move around the car etc, extendable detachable handle, and the wheels are a little bonus, pressure adjustable easy to use, there is a hose at the back you can sit inside a wash/detergent bottle, but I Bought extras that attach to the machine, wash brush and foam gun,(karcher) both easy to attach and worked great and made my fathers weekly car wash a little easier for him. Great buy thank you
As a one or twice a year item it is a good buy, so fits the bill for my requirements. It has worked well on the driveway and paving slabs. It is not a heavy duty machine.
Very easy to assemble, everything slots into place. Plenty of power. My only complaint would be on behalf of my neighbours, it is very loud. I heard a few expletives coming my way!
Used for both cleaning the patio and the cars and it worked very efficiently for both jobs. It would be better with a more flexible hose but other than that I have no complaints.
This is a fantastic little machine. I’ve used it to clean the patio and drive and they’ve come up a treat. Good value when you know how much you have to pay someone else to do it.
Very pleased so far with this cleaner, I have not used it very much at the moment, but I do like how easy it is to use and the results
Brilliant. Ideal to remove stains moss weeds and discolouration from patio stones and drive.
It brought the patio back to original colour in seconds- using the attachment that spins the water jet into a circle.
It quickly made short work so the patio at the back and pathways around both sides of the house, path out the front and the drive was all restored easily.
One point us to make sure you insert the hose pipe attachment into the unit and handle firmly before clicking into a lock position. I hadn’t on the base unit without realising so when I turned it on it was leaking. It was fiddly and hard to unclick (much easier on the handle attachment). Once pushed far enough and reclining it to a lock it worked perfectly.
Definitely recommend it.
Light, easy to assemble, easy to use, effective, cheaper than paying someone to do it for you and can I use it to clean doors, cars, windows etc.
Really glad I purchased this item especially with the attachment for cleaning the stone slabs. It made the job much easier and kept the spray from going all over. Wish I had purchased one before instead of scrubbing with a yard brush. The only downside is that there is no where to attach the bottle of cleaning fluid but got around that problem by using an old boot lace on hanging the bottle on the back of the washer.
already had lots of attachments for a karcher which packed up on me, so needed a replacement which they would fit, and the one I got was exactly what I needed, and all attachments fitted, so very happy with it. Also, after searching lots of places, this one was the best price, so great value
Bought to clean up old slabs. Did a brilliant job, enen without the cleaning fluid that came with it. Also cleaned the car very quickly. Very good value.
Easey to assemble, best cleaning machine I’ve ever used, dose the job and can’t wait to use again, good little machine, your not standing there all day waiting for this to clean your patio like other types I’ve purchased, this is the one!
I love the k2
I had a issue with the power nosel I had cover on the product from Amazon
..but me being fastidious about feed back I decided to notified karcher of the fault .. to my surprise they didn’t even ask if I had cover they could see I o my just bought the product ..So they sent me a new power nosel ..
Now it’s all working fantastic …great product for mum’s patio my balcony and other jobs such as weed blasting … we love the k2
The item was delivered within the time promised, and was well packed.
Assembly is easy and the various attachments all connect well.
It’s a pity the patio cleaner doesn’t have a “brush crown”, as I believe they work well. However, I happened to have one spare from Mum’s old Karcher, and it fitted and worked perfectly, which was nice.
The vario wand settings allow for the right pressure/ pattern to be used for different jobs.
I mainly bought this to clean my patio and driveway flagstones; I first watered the areas with diluted Jeyes Fluid (other outdoor disinfectants are available) and let it work to kill/ loosen moss etc and disinfect. I then used the patio cleaner, passing over each flagstone slowly. I then attached the blaster to remove a few stubborn areas of lichen, did the concrete gravel boards at the bottom of the fence panels, and then angled the wand to wash away all the debis.
(I haven’t tried the cleaning agent yet)
The flags have come up really clean and they look like new. The Karcher performed really well and it seemed like the job was done in no time.
Some of my gravel boards had panel paint run down, and you will know how difficult it is to remove paint from concrete/ brickwork; well, the blaster wand, concentrated close for 10 or so seconds brought it off no problem!
I can’t comment on the long term efficacy of this particular model, but my family have used Karchers for many years without issue, and so I have confidence in the brand.
Just 1 star deducted for build quality of the wheels and handles that could be a little more robust, and the lack of a “brush crown” on the patio cleaner attachment; I think that regular users will miss this feature, although I appreciate that it can be purchased as an “optional extra”.
So yes, I can definitely recommend this pressure washer, as it does what it says on the tin (box).

ot used yet but karcher have listened to customers on improving the extras stronger patio cleaner – added height etc will reccomend
Light weight and easy to handle and use. Such an improvement on our old heavy jet wash. Love the fact that it has wheels and setting for different uses. Cleaned the patio well. looking forward to trying it out on the car.
Absolutely outstanding product and service is second to none . I highly recommend this seller and would not hesitate to buy this product. Thank you again for the excellent customer service.
The free upgrade made it good value for money. Used it to clean my patio, I was quoted 60.00p for this to be done. So every time I am doing it, I am saving 60.00p.
Ordered this for a birthday present, ( last minute) very quick on delivery. I was very surprised as told my father he would get his surprise a week after his birthday it came about 3days after ordering. Also they upgraded the Karcher to a home and car kit. Made my dad even happier with the car kit. As it was originally brought to clean his patio. Would definitely use this service agai
I purchased the K2 model, I didn’t buy it with the sole intention of doing my block paving & patio as these were quite large areas, I started on my storage bins & dustbins realy pleased with result. I then thought try the patio I was so impressed. I used the wand with no cleaner they turned from black to original sand colour. It is quiet & light and all the tools fit onto the main body. Still haven’t tried it on the car yet but going by previous performance I’m sure I’m going to be more than pleased.
i invested in this product ,because i recently purchased a prestige black car and i was advised not to use my usual local carwash due to swirls etc also iv had some very extreme quotes for a proper valet.. so i invested in this and several other car cleaning products ..and i must say its perfect for the job ..so easy to use and set up .. so i know this will pay for itself in a few months
I could have received this for my birthday and I would have been so happy.
Firstly it arrived 2 weeks earlier than the estimated date said so…win.
Secondly, it is a fantastic product. I have now cleaned my entire patio and the difference is amazing.
It comes with 3 different adaptor heads, a large circle for patios and large spaces, a high powered nozzle and a nozzle with 4 different modes, car, soft, medium etc.
It also comes with some cleaning solution which just links up to the washer.
The item is lightweight and portable and really easy to put together and use.
This pressure washer is powerful enough to clean my car and that is why I bought it. Watch YouTube videos to see how others have bought a snowfoam gun to fit on the lance base. Buy Snowfoam and a Shampoo product to go in the gun plus wash mitts. The results are really good.
The washer is constructed of very cheap feeling plastic.
Totally in love with this machine at the moment and it makes washing the car fun… Even my daughter wants to have a go… But in reality it works great and the power is strong enough to clean a lot of surfaces…
I never thought I needed one of these in my life but I’m so glad I bought this. Very easy to use and fun to play with.
My old Karcher finally gave up and I was looking at other makes, but I decided at the last minute to buy the cheapest model from Karcher expecting a lot less power than my older more expensive one.
To my amazement it was fantastic!
I brought this product as a replacement for my broken Hozelock pressure washer. This product looks easy to put together but their are a few things that the manual does not tell you. Like when you fix the pice on for the hosepipe their is a white thing that’s behind it. it does not say weather to remove this or not. I used this product today really easy to use, amazing results. it was speedy delivery with a 24 Month warrenty if registered on line
Very powerful and adjustable jets. I particularly like the patio cleaner which does an excellent job.
The whole unit is light and easy to handle.
A friend cleaned my patio a few weeks ago with her old karcher, and I was really unimpressed with the results, as I had been toying with the idea of buying a pressure washer, I thought now would be a good time. After reading the reviews for the K2, I ordered from Amazon.
Arrived next day, and I put it straight to work. It is really easy and quick to assemble, compact, so doesn’t need much space for storage, and as for how it works…. It is great.
It ate through years worth of lichen and algae like butter and has transformed my garden and front pathway back to almost new condition.
If you are considering a pressure washer, then I absolutely recommend the Karcher K2. I have only used one of the attachments, so can’t speak for the others, but having the option to switch between different intensities makes it really easy to clean off other areas and surface.
Spot on!
Just had house re rendered and have fair size patio space at the rear. Had been steeling myself not only to clean the concrete dust but it was long over due. I’d bought the patio cleaner solution and had an old Halfords pressure washer which needed a new hose. Long story short I saw and bought this. Honestly took me no time, didn’t even need the solution. I enjoyed it so much I can’t wait to do it again. In a nutshell, I would have paid someone the price of this to do it. Easy to use, ridiculously light and amazing results … So in summary how good? I’m now off to play golf this afternoon … yeah, that good, so just buy one!
I purchased this after much research and review reading. I did not have a pressure washer but wanted one to clean my patios having had my garden landscaped last May.
I didn’t want “a heavy beast” just something light, easy to use and store. This ticks all the boxes.
It is easy to set up and simple to use. After the initial set up, which is easy, plug on the water hose, plug in the power and press.
It comes with 2 lances and has adjustable flow settings depending on what you are cleaning.
I use a hozelock fitting on my hose pipe and there is no leakage whatsoever.
You can also use detergents and cleaners through a nifty little intake and mixer pipe . I haven’t used that yet, but it appears easy.
I have gone “Karcher happy” cleaning my patios, garden furniture, car, conservatory windows and roof and my soffets. Even my husband likes using it!
A good buy for my needs.
The power lead is not overly long but you can use an extension. Just be careful
I paid a very good price for this – under 100 – so good value.
I would recommend this little lovely.
It’s quieter than the old one I had and it does a better job. I’m very pleased with it. But just one small criticism. You have to continually squeeze the trigger to operate it. It doesn’t take too much effort, but it’s a bit of a nuisance. For continued operation, eg. cleaning my driveway, it would be nice if the trigger could be locked down.
Lightweight easy to use, does the job well. I have very large ares of pavia which came up beautifully but only a small sample of the cleaning fluid with the machine – actually can use other products though.
Arrived quickly, was easy to set up and works perfectly, very powerful and cleaned my garden slabs in no time, ideal for washing my car too. A really good power washer at a great price.
This Karcher has been bought as a replacement of a well worked older model. Not disappointed and has already showed me its more powerful potential. So far well pleased.
Absolutely love this product. I have had a Karcher for years and decided to upgrade to thus model. Wow! So pleased, I cleaned every path and 3 patios in 2 days. Lightweight and so very easy to use. Highly recommended.
Have washed 5 cars already, that’s 25 saved from using garage and a quarter of purchase price covered already. Great for alloy wheel and wheel arch cleansing. Only regret is not having bought one about 5 yrs ago
Every power washer has good and bad reviews, even the more popular ones like Karcher. I chose this one not knowing what to expect in terms of performance but I’m really impressed. It was easy to assemble and It cleaned my very dirty and green patio and pathways really quickly. I’m not so sure about the build quality tho. The handle kept falling off and the spare wands kept falling off the unit also. It looks and feels very entry level. If it lasts a few years then I’ll be pleased. Great for cleaning patios, furniture, paving and cars.
Really good value for money pressure of the water great worked a treat to do my patio a d front drive. 5 star all the way
Great pressure washer for the money, powerful enough to clean my dirty block paving. Would have given this 5 stars if it wasn’t a couple of design flaws. The detergent port on the back and the fact that the pressures hoses once connected cannot be easily disconnected and that you cannot mount the detergent bottle on the washer. I assembled the machine ready for first use then pulled out the tube at back to put into the included bottle of floor cleaner only to discover the tube was not connected to anything inside the pressure washer washer and came all the way out. I now have to find buy a star headed screw driver as the whole back of the machine will need to be removed to connect this tube up. Also there is nowhere to mount the bottle of detergent on the machine it simply sits on the floor behind the washer and could be easily knocked over whilst using the machine. If you forget it’s for example and wheel away the washer.
For the price, I think this is excellent value. Although the construction is all plastic, it’s quite robust and as long as you don’t chuck it around it should be fine with normal use. The patio cleaner’s shroud is made of flimsier plastic, so it feels like I need to be a little bit more careful about storing that. You need to add the wheels and handles to the unit when you unbox it, but everything just clicks into place and I was ready to wash in just a few minutes.
The first thing I noticed is how much quieter the pump motor is on this machine compared to a little cheaper no-brand washer of similar spec I borrowed from a neighbour last year. I don’t feel the need to try and muffle this one by putting a bin over it to avoid annoying the neighbours!
Despite its thin plastic feel, the patio cleaner works really very well indeed. There’s far less overspray and it cleans away a winter’s worth of muck and algae far quicker than using a lance. Because it’s circular, you will need to get the lance out to “cut in” the edges, but even with that I can clean the whole patio and path in less than half the time it takes with just a lance.
Speaking of lances, the two that you get in this kit will cover pretty much all the situations you would come across for normal household use. The vario lance can adjust the pressure to 3 levels (softest suitable for fencing, middle for cars, and then a hard setting, as well as a “mix” setting to draw detergent into the stream – I haven’t used this yet so can’t comment). The jet comes out in a fan shape, so it’s good for rinsing down wide areas like patios and doing cars. The other lance is a fixed high-pressure “dirt blaster” that uses a ball bearing to give you a fast, circular jet that’s designed for shifting stuff off stone, brick, and concrete or similar surfaces. Hold the jets closer to the surface to get more impact, move them away for less force.
Although it doesn’t mention it in the manual, I used the extension piece meant for the patio cleaner with the lances and as someone who’s 6ft tall, this meant I didn’t have to lean over at all to use it. Bonus!
The unit is lightweight – you really don’t need wheels to move it – the accessories work very well (particularly the patio cleaner) and it’s not too noisy in use. As long as you don’t regularly need to clean huge quantities of mud off tractors or blast back surfaces to bare metal or something I think this unit is perfect for most households.
