Bought as a present for a friend it has been used and worked well. The only negative I have heard is old Karcher accessories do not seem to fit.
As shown in videos
The patio looks like new after use
Highly recommended
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.
A very good product does what it says on the tin but I cannot complete registration as karcher does not recognise the part number which is displayed on the box and the same number on the actual unit please advise
Works really well. Used it pretty heavily for a while and it was fantastic. Easy to use, easy to assemble and it has some real power. It is soooo satisfying to clean pavement.
The floor cleaner attachment is great too. it’s actually better than the highpower attachment for cleaning the floor (and walls to be honest).
I was not sure about this product when I purchased it, the fact that Amazon accept returns encouraged me to try it and I have loved it. So easy to use, no headache, a lot of features. Not too heavy, easy to move around and connect.

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.

If you’re considering this or the slightly more powerful one. Get the more powerful one. This one is good. But would make jobs easier and quicker with more power.
Makes presure much easier.very pleased with the out come of my patio
I found this really easy to use. It’s light to move around. I used the setting 3 on the Lance and haven’t used the single setting Lance yet. Dirt came off really quickly. I wish I’d known about the patio circular ” guard” ( optional extra) which I think would be good as mud does splash up at edges of patio..but that’s inevitable.
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.

This is a great bundle for the price! Brilliant for the small patio, decking area I have can’t fault it at all.
Arrived earlier than expected. Super little machine cleans the drive extremely well.
I was quite surprised with this jet wash met all I requirements, good value and pleased with results
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
Excellent product used for cleaning patio. Easy light weight value for money
Tried to repair my old K2 but parts were so expensive I decide to just replace it.
So far so good not had any issues, not used patio cleaner attachments yet hence 4 stars
I bought this as a present for my husband and so far he is really pleased with it, nice and compact but does the jobs he wanted it for eg. Washing the conservatory, cleaning the car and patio with very satisfactory results. I would recommend this item.
Watched the video where patio cleaner just cut swathes across a dirty patio. I hoped for something quite good but obviously not as good as the advert. I was greatly surprised when I used it and it just what the video showed!! Well done Karcher for an honest advert.
Our old one has broken so had to get a replacement. Same model but a lot more powerful than our old K2 and works wonder for cleaning pavement. We have a large area and covers with weeds, it gets rid of the weeds as well, save us loads of money for weed killers. Excellent little machine makes block paving a lot efficient.
Easy to use and assemble . Result for the flags were amazing . Didn’t realise how dirty they were . Cleaned patio furniture and the wheelie bins . Definitely recommend paying the extra for this model .
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.

Arrived on time and as described. Only used the once so far and all is well. Worked brilliantly. Easy to set up with all manuals.
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.
Easy to assemble Easy to use. Gives enough power to deal with almost all grim and dirt. Simple and good value
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.

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.

Just right for small cleaning patio furniture and small areas. Easy to assemble and to use.
I am really happy with this product. The manufacturer is renowned and reliable. The price is very appealing and the product itself functions exceptionally well. It is easy to operate and has all the attachments you would need.
Like most Krcher products, it does the job! Useful for spraying whatever you want, at low or high intensity.
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!

So pleased with this machine, it is small but powerful enough to do all the jobs I needed.
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

Easy to assemble, easy to use and has good pressure for all basic cleaning.
Works well. But the carrying handle is
a joke. Goes off all the time. There are
easy ways to do better. So one star
less for that.
Easy to assemble and to use. Really good pressure light to move around.
This is just enough of a starter kit to get you going, but be prepared to want more bits to add to its cleaning repertoire. I love using it and have since bought lots of extras for car cleaning.
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.

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).
A little to expensive and lower quality plastic than my previous K2
Really nice product, ideal for jetwashing patios and washing cars. Some of the parts are a bit cheap and plasticy but the core functionality is great. One of my best and most useful buys on Amazon.
Good product really does the job. The circular attachement does an excellent job.
ot used yet but karcher have listened to customers on improving the extras stronger patio cleaner – added height etc will reccomend
Fab company to deal with. Communication brilliant, machine is excellent value for money. Great price.
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.
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 had a K2compact and having just finished cleaning my driveway bricks I must say this model did a very good job compared to the compact version.
As long as the motor lasts I would recommend this Karcher model.
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.
I bought this after my previous version had done several years good service before conking out. The new one is just as good, lightweight and easy to put together and feels very robust. Been used for cleaning patio areas and washing the car.
Perfect for cleaning the patio/garden furniture/car. Comes with a small bottle of patio washer detergent and a round patio washer attachment which speeds up the process considerably.
The washer is constructed of very cheap feeling plastic.
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.
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

This would have got 5 stars, but the carrying handle is a very loose fit and is useless
Great little unit that came recommended and was perfect for what we wanted. Sadly ours broke on the first use and had to be returned.
I liked the pressure washer overall. I did not like the closed in brush, too flimsy.
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.

The hose is quite long enough for most purposes, but you can get extensions if you need them.
Good point is that there are lots of extra accesories which fit this and all the K-series pressure washers..
An important point to note –
The high-pressure hose connects to the body of the washer and the “gun” in exactly the same way – and there is a sliding locking collar which is ESSENTIAL. (See the picture) It can come clean off if you’re not careful, and if it’s lost the hose could not be fitted, so DON’T lose either of them! Best to leave the hose and gun attached once they’ve been fitted together!
I particularly like the surface cleaning attachment, which works a treat on patios etc. without splashing you too much.
Using this karcher for lightweight jobs such as cleaning paths and car easy to use and adequate for this type of work
Easy to use and eady to assemble. Powerful. Carry handle is very loose making it difficult to carry.
Much to my surprise when checking the current prices of the two makes as mentioned above I discovered that they are almost identical — with the Bosch having a slighter higher price than the Karcher.
They are different in respect of ease of assembly, weights, manoeuvrability, apparent quality of components; and last but not least — visual appeal. (Subjective, I know.)
The Karcher K2 is much lighter than the Bosch. Perhaps that is something that you would value. Assembly of the Karcher is much more straightforward than the Bosch. If you like canary yellow then you will value the visual appeal of the Karcher: for me the colour and build appearance makes it seem cheap. Wheels push on, as does the carrying handle and the handle for transporting the washer from one area to another of, say, a garden. The adapter for the T-Racer pushes in and then needs a twist to secure it to the T-Racer — but be advised that once in place it is not possible to remove said adapter.
The Bosch has its water inlet on the front of the machine and it protrudes, making it subject to being damaged. The Karcher’s water inlet is on the back and does not protrude past the rear of the push-on plastic wheels.
Noise level of the Karcher appears to be much less than the Bosch. Irrespective of the claimed power of the Karcher the Bosch is much more powerful in actual use. For example, the force of the water jet on the Bosch when using the ‘scrubbing brush’ (T- Racer on the Karcher) is so powerful it almost negates the very purpose of itself by means of lifting the brush to such a degree that conscious effort is needed to keep it in contact with the surface being cleaned. Not so with the karcher — its much less powerful — and whilst on the subject of scrubbing brushes I should add that if you are taller than 6ft (1.82 metres) then, I suspect, you will end up with an aching back if you use the brush feature continuously for more than a half an hour because the extension tube, which attaches to the adapter of the scrubbing brush, isn’t overly long.
The safety lock on the Karcher gun is very amateurish in build and use; and not at all ergonomic. The Bosch puts it to shame in that regard, for both build quality and usage.
Judged overall the Bosch appears to be light years ahead of the Karcher in respect of build quality. Yes, it is true that some of the release mechanisms on the Bosch can be fingernail breaking (removing the water outlet hose connections from the body of the unit for example). The Karcher release mechanisms flew of the device when I first tried to connect outlet water lines. The Karcher does have a 2 year guarantee if such is registered within 30 days of purchase. Its User Manual is visually very clear and also instructive
Given that the K2 is made in Germany I was expecting the standard of production to be much higher than it is.
