Phenomenal piece of kit.
Yet again, Karcher get it spot on. The sheer power of this power washer is quite remarkable. As an experienced professional renovator, I recently used this tool to clean up some old exterior steps. They came up a treat.
I would highly recommend.
Pressure washes in strong searching way
Once assembled this washer is really great , has a very strong pressure which can easily be adjusted by aiming the nozzle closer or further away from the object . I have had a number of these over the years and I find the seals seem to go after a year or two . Advise is to try and get all the water out of the washer when you finish with it , by lifting and juggling it to get rid of any water inside that’s left when you finish . It’s the water left in that rots the seals over time . Otherwise like me you will need to keep replacing , still the product is well worth it . Good value , it can get through a lot of work .
Cleaned the patio with no effo
Fantastic product easy to setup and use, does the business
Got one at last!
Wanted this for a long time. Just put it together and tomorrow I will get going.
Cleans in a flash
A very good piece of kit, it cleans cars very well
easy to use
brought this to clean car, paths etc very easy to use and doesn’t vibrate
Amazing device.
Excellent power, made short work of the grime on the path.
First decent clean in over 20 years.
It’s finally clean.
Highly recommended.
A cheap but effective jet cleane
The handles on this are flimsy and fall off really easily. But the function of it is good and the results have been great. The round disc cleaning tool wasn’t really that effective and it was easier to just use the hard 3 setting on the jet tool and work each slab in lines.
Lightweight but powerful
Really easy to manoeuvre due to its light weight and relatively small size. Removed moss from patio in one pass. Makes cleaning patio and car really easy.
Small and mighty
Great little jet washer! I have 2 large patios and cleaned them both up really well.
Powerful and compac
Compact but powerful. Nice to use. Ideal for a homeowner who doesn’t need a large cumbersome device.
Good jet wash
Simple to build. Easy to connect. Cleans car well using lance. Patio and path easy using patio wash liquid with lance then full clean with patio attachme
Great ki
Wow! Done everything to be done in half the time to what a old cheap one did .Looks cleaner too!
Does what it says
Wow what did I do without this it’s s miracle I’m so pleased with this it goes exactly what it says would not be without i
Goodbye desert sand!
After losing the fight with the desert sand that had covered my patio using a hose and a broom I though I would give this a go. I was not disappointed, using the patio attachment I was able to remove it all with very little effort. It’s very satisfying to use and I have already made a list of jobs for it!
Brilliant !
Very light weight compared to previous Karcher, I was considering buying the K3 as I didn’t know how powerful this would be, but glad I didn’t bother this is absolutely brilliant the attachment that cleans slabs is fantastic too very quick and doesn’t get you soaked while you are doing it, wish I had upgraded a long time ago now.
Should of bought one soone
For the price this karcher can’t be laughed at. Has many uses and I’m still impressed by the power this packs! From cars and motorcycles to fencing, brickwork and Patios its not disappointed me!
So far so good
Just blitzed the slabs at our new home with this, the handle attachments and wheels are a bit flimsy but the power is really good and done a great job, 2 year warranty so will see if it stands the rest of time.
If you want a pressure washer for personal/non commercial use, then this is the one to go fo
Arrived in a neat little box. Many things to like and some things that are not so great
1. The packaging is quite light and everything is neatly arranged
2. The instruction sheet though small is pretty straightforward.
3. It does take a while to fully assemble. For a beginner like myself you are looking at 20 minutes from assembling to putting it to the test. It is pretty straightforward to assemble
4. It’s the market leader in pressure washer so you can find good deals and loads of different attachments to suit your needs
THE NOT SO GOOD
1. The wheels aren’t the best and most sturdy. Sometimes pushing the machine can make it fall so keep that in mind.
2. For someone who was using a pressure washer for the first time, you have to know that you can’t get up and running just by buying one. You need connectors for the taps and a universal connector for the water pipe. Plus you need a water piper. I bought all karcher products because I knew they’d fit as I’m not that into pressure washers. I could’ve found cheaper products but couldn’t bother
3. The pressure is good for home jobs but if you’re buying this as a commercial product, then go for the highest spec models
4. It can be a bit fidgety as there are numerous hoses connected to the machine but I guess that’s a problem with all pressure washers.
Does the job
I bought mostly for use in cleaning our patios which is does well. Part of me wonders if i should have bought a more powerful model, but this does the job. My second Karcher washer and no problems with either.
Easy assembly.
Bought this as a birthday present. Hasn’t been used yet because of weather so can’t comment on how easy it is to use or what the cleaning is like. However it has been built which was very easy.
Second one of these. Brillia
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!

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.
Karcher K2
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.
Good value ki
Works well & the kit is pretty good value as it comes with the patio scrubber as well, quite pleased with it.
Powerful and easy to use.
I bought this with a separate special drain cleaning hose attachment to tackle a long, narrow, un-rodable, very blocked drain. It took a while, but we got the job done. We will use it regularly to stop it blocking again. Easy to put together and simple to use. Pleased with purchase.
Rey Satisfied
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.
works well
works well, not used a lot yet as weather been bad
Very effective
Easy to assemble. Patio cleaner very effective on paving stone and monoblock.
Good range of settings
Very easy to set up. Good range of power setting. Patio adapter is excellent and makes light work of paving slabs.
Good product, but a part was broken..
I just received it, but surface cleaner was broken.please let me know what I should do.
Good enough….
Had a K5 for years and wasn’t sure the little K2 would be up to the task but have to say I’m pleasantly surprised. The only frustration are the teeny tiny connectors and lance hose which seems very happy twisting itself up !
Pressure wadje
Love this easy to use cleans cars , patois and lots more
Easy clean patio
Really pleased- far better than our ancient, now defunct pressure washer (patio stone attachment on K2 worked brilliantly)
Excelle
An excellent machine for the price I paid for it. Does all the domestic jobs. Cleaned my patio with it and looks like newly laid patio slabs. Can’t complain about the pressure it creates. Also very handy for car wash. Highly recommended for household use.

Super produc
This is a replacement for my previous rather old Karcher, and it’s super. Works perfectly.
More than adequate for general use
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).
Worth the money.
Brilliant piece of kit, Easily put together, powerful and quiet, Good value for the money.
Brillia
Really easy set up and very powerful for a small machine.
super powerful and easy to use, great value, love it!.
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.
Not as sturdy as previous model
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.
Great produc
Definitely the best product on the market, this is the second one we’ve bought and works well especially on patios and outside areas
Love i
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.

Good Little Powerwashe
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
Don't Use a Coiled Extension Lead - Great Little Washe
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!
very happy..
it is what it is and it works well,,very happy with it and fair price paid
Ideal Karcher jet washe
After so many years of use my old Karcher is finally giving up so this new one is a perfect replacement and so many more features. Trust it works just as long as my old one.
Good
Only used for a few jobs so far but helps take the pain out of washing your car so it’ll do for me.
Light, easy to use and best of all cheaper then most Karchers...
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…
Good produc
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.
BRILLIANT
This is a fantastic Jet washer! VERY impressed. Our old Halfords one stopped working (20 yrs old) this is a fantastic replacement. Very powerful for such a compact design. I have used it on various different surfaces, I love it, thanks
Very Powerful
Works like a Karcher from old, very powerful and the patio attachment cleans the most stubborn marks. Well impressed.
Grea
Great item once I worked out it did not fit my standard hose. I bought a new one and Did a great job of patio!
Great power hose 1 issue thou
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
Great power spray
I’m pleased with the power spray it was easy to assemble and manoeuvre whilst using. It’s not heavy and I’m happy with the clean result on my patio area. Great for cleaning recycling bins, pot plant containers and garden furniture

Brilliant cleane
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.

I am happy with this. The only complaint is 3 parts were missing… I Needed to use it that day!! I could use without these parts, so accepted the 29 discount. Wish I had not now!
Awesome
This jet wash is perfect for all your outdoor cleaning needs. So far I’ve only used it to clean the flags and block paving in my garden and they came up like new. You get a few accessories which are easy to change and cover a good range of jobs you can use them on. The pressure of the jet wash is sufficient for all of the jobs I plan to do with it..

It works fine
Only used it once so far but it did the job without any problems. Being disabled the weight of machine is important It is easy to control.
Small, light and very good
This easily cleaned my very dirty patio (100m2) and is small and light, easy to assemble.
Oh dear do I have to assemble?
Came in pieces in a compact box. So I will have to find tools and read instructions…
WRONG! Eight quick clicks and it was assembled and ready to go in less that a minute!
And does a great job; I might have the cleanest deck around.

Very powerful
Washes out all the grime from the patio, car, windows and the drive very happy with the performance
Seems ok
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.
Best ever! High quality produc
As shown in videos
The patio looks like new after use
Highly recommended
Good washe
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.
Small lightweight but powerful
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

Amazing produc
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).
Great karcher power wash
Great product cleans my patio up a treat
Easy to put together step by step very easy good power spray haven’t used it on other things to clean but the power wash jet is grea
Wow, just wow!
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.

Pressure washe
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.
Good produc
Makes presure much easier.very pleased with the out come of my patio
Excellent bit of ki
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.
Perfect for patios
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.
