    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGreat Power Washe
    Living near a wooded area make paths prone to algae buildup a big problem. I have tried solvent cleaners with limited success. This power washer was recommended to me, so I gave it go.
    Before & after photos shows how it coped with very stubborn algae, much better than I thought. I found that keeping the washer head about 1/4 inch above the surface works best as a gap stops too much water collecting under the spinning jets.
    Not sure if the sample cleaning fluid helped that much as it is expensive to buy.
    The spinning jets do a much better job of cleaning the paving than the jet lance. They sweep an area of approx 200mm width. Also, once I got the hang of it, moving at a slowish but steady speed works best.
    Very pleased with it and I highly recommend i

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersBest thing since sliced bread!
    I bought this to replace a very heavy 2kw pressure washer with my birthday Amazon gift cards. Not only is it compact and lightweight it’s twice as powerful as the old one. I have been blasting my way through the garden shifting years of grime and slime. The decks have come up fantastically and I will do them again before varnishing, so to ensure that the varnish absorbs properly, you could do this before painting a deck too, It’s so easy to use. I toyed with buying other pressure washers because they had more accessories however with just 3 that can be used on most items I can honestly say this is perfect, best thing since sliced bread!

    Lightweight and Powerful
    I normally hire a industrial pressure washer for a weekend to clean the large amount of concrete driveway and paths around my house. But this year a boat purchase made me decide to invest on a small portable pressure washer. This one was duly ordered and did not in any way disappoint
    It rapidly went through the grime on the drive, ( see video), Not as fast as a commercial one but with significant less back splatter and overspray into neighbouring gardens. Very impressed Tbh it’s easy to carry around and if anything the light weight is perhaps a slight drawback as the unit is prone to topple over when the hose comes tight. The hose is perhaps another bit of a niggle as it seems a bit inflexible and prone to kinking.
    All in all very happy with the cleaning performance and value for money. Longevity we will see

    Could be better finished
    Not much of an issue to assemble but i don’t like the way the plastic moulding is finished when attached to the handle . It could be much better with close fit to the handle where only the top is close. Could do with a re-design for a clean finish .
    Will revisit this review when used.

    Works very well. As others have noted, the hose supplied is a let down. It just coils up like a spring and is easily knotted. Additional cost needs to be allowed for to get a decent hose.

    Does what it is supposed to, but better than expected.
    Easy to assemble, and within 20 minutes, I had it up and running, I was very impressed how effective, and quick the patio cleaning head worked, bought it up like new. I have used the rotary jet for cleaning my artificial grass, again, easy to use, and made it look as if I had just laid it. The variable pressure head works well, and has been used on both my car, and sign written van, without the fear of damaging the signwriting, but can turn up the power for the wheels. The on board detergent bottle feels a little flimsy, but has held up so far.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersVery useful time saving machine
    I was a bit sceptical after reading some negative reviews. Admittedly I have only used the K3 once but it has done a pretty good job. The round head patio cleaner is a must for large patio areas especially if there are deep seated stains. It reduces spray, cleans effectively and reduces time over using the lance. I will now need to tackle some pretty persistent marks with the lance but the K3 has done what I wanted and made a huge difference.
    Washed the car with the vari-spray but it has only done a superficial clean. I will probably invest in the snow foam lance then just use an ordinary sponge or brush to finish off.
    Overall though I am happy with the ease of setting up, the ease of use and was surprised at how simple it was to fit to the garden hose with the attachment I already have for the garden spray gun. Did not need to buy anything else extra for fitments.

    Very powerful. I have completely washed down a driveway removing all the moss from between bricks. It is a massive driveway five cars length. I have completely wrecked the one nozzle. Not sure if it’s got blocked with sand or I’ve worn it out because it was touching the floor too much. Anyway shame it’s made of plastic, maybe the attachment would’ve last longer if it was made of metal. Apart from that I had the motor running for five hours and it worked a second day no problem.

    This is a best buy in gardening reviews. A perfect machine for occasional home use. Love the foaming function (and you can buy a fully-foaming add on accessory if you like). Shop around but I got a low price from Amazon. It then went back up to Karcher price – and they offer an extra year’s guarantee if bought direct. NOTE: when registering guarantee I could only find serial number etc. on the side of the box. So if you are disposing of the box before registration, photograph the details.

    Bought this to clean up the patio and it did an excellent job. Also makes cleaning the car quick and easy. Every thing attaches to the unit when you have finished which makes it easy to store in a shed or garage. the patio cleaning attachment works ok but we ended up just using the high power lance. Very impressed.

    Unfortunately it arrived with two wear marks on the hose but that hasn’t caused any issues.

    Golden Review Award: 34 From Our UsersExcellent kit, almost perfect Jetwasher!
    I live in an area where it rains endlessly, I have Sandstone paving that should normally be silver/blue but end up green as per the pictures quite often!

    I have to jet wash the area clean 3 or 4 times a year to remove grime you can see as per the pictures. For the last two and a bit years I had a nilfisk jet wash which u fortunately went to Jetwash heaven not long ago and was outside of its warranty so I picked up this Karcher kit on the advice of my neighbour.

    The Good

    The kit comes in a neatly packed box that belies the amount of bits and acessories you get included.

    The build is a very chunky and robust feeling plastic affair with no visible metal components. It clunk clicks satisfyingly together in a reassuring way.

    The Jetwash has a cleaner/additive container tank at the bottom where you can insert additional products to help you clean, Ive found this really useful and a lot better than having a bottle stuck to the end of the lance as per some of the competition.

    Operation is easy enough, a simple twist power switch and away you go.

    One of the best features for me is the length of the lance included, it’s super long which means when doing pavements I am not arching my back as I have done in the past to get the lance end to just above the paving slabs. If doing a sizeable patch of paving this really helps reduce back pain a huge amount.

    Power output is solid. You can see the difference in the photos and video. It removes grime muck and mulch, restoring the original colour just fine.

    Operating noise is similar to other jet washers I have had. Ultimately no one jet washes at 6am so you don’t really have to worry about the neighbours, that said it’s not like an aircraft is landing in your garden either!

    To stow away after use is easy enough, clunk click the lance down, twist remove or pop off the connections and away it goes.

    The could be better

    The instruction manual for putting the unit together is not overtly obvious, it’s actually a pictogram with not that much information on it. I had to resort to photos of the product on the website to double check I had the right screws and parts in the right places. That said it still took less than fifteen minutes but seemed a little faff.

    Power output is good, but I couldn’t help but feel the previous Nilfisk I had was a smidgeon more powerful, it seemed to remove the filth on the paving with a few less passes of the lance. I could be being nostalgic though! It’s powerful enough for the jobs of paving and cleaning the cars which is all I have used, or need it for.

    Overall its an excellent Jetwash so far. It’s chunky yellow build feels like it won’t let me down, I like the additional tank and I love the long length lance thats already been a big bonus. The instructions could be me being inept at putting equipment together, it’s probably akin to set of lego instructions and I was having a bad day!

    Overall 4 Stars.

For the last two and a bit years I had a nilfisk jet wash which u fortunately went to Jetwash heaven not long ago and was outside of its warranty so I picked up this Karcher kit on the advice of my neighbour.

    The Good

    The kit comes in a neatly packed box that belies the amount of bits and acessories you get included.

    The build is a very chunky and robust feeling plastic affair with no visible metal components. It clunk clicks satisfyingly together in a reassuring way.

    The Jetwash has a cleaner/additive container tank at the bottom where you can insert additional products to help you clean, Ive found this really useful and a lot better than having a bottle stuck to the end of the lance as per some of the competition.

    Operation is easy enough, a simple twist power switch and away you go.

    One of the best features for me is the length of the lance included, it’s super long which means when doing pavements I am not arching my back as I have done in the past to get the lance end to just above the paving slabs. If doing a sizeable patch of paving this really helps reduce back pain a huge amount.

    Power output is solid. You can see the difference in the photos and video. It removes grime muck and mulch, restoring the original colour just fine.

    Operating noise is similar to other jet washers I have had. Ultimately no one jet washes at 6am so you don’t really have to worry about the neighbours, that said it’s not like an aircraft is landing in your garden either!

    To stow away after use is easy enough, clunk click the lance down, twist remove or pop off the connections and away it goes.

    The could be better

    The instruction manual for putting the unit together is not overtly obvious, it’s actually a pictogram with not that much information on it. I had to resort to photos of the product on the website to double check I had the right screws and parts in the right places. That said it still took less than fifteen minutes but seemed a little faff.

    Power output is good, but I couldn’t help but feel the previous Nilfisk I had was a smidgeon more powerful, it seemed to remove the filth on the paving with a few less passes of the lance. I could be being nostalgic though! It’s powerful enough for the jobs of paving and cleaning the cars which is all I have used, or need it for.

    Overall its an excellent Jetwash so far. It’s chunky yellow build feels like it won’t let me down, I like the additional tank and I love the long length lance thats already been a big bonus. The instructions could be me being inept at putting equipment together, it’s probably akin to set of lego instructions and I was having a bad day!

    Overall 4 Stars.

    Easy to use and very effective
    Used it on my patio area and paths and was amazed with the results. This was something that I never knew I needed! Hadn’t realised how dirty the stone was. I haven’t managed to get the same results with it on my car as yet but I’ve taken some advice and should be OK next time.

    Winner without a doub
    Great product. It is the best affordable Karcher for a household out there. I did the garage; removed the old paint form the fence and old decking, wash the bins, wash the car, pavement slabs… 2 years warranty. You are going to try save 50 buying some cheap pressure washer and regret it. Get Karcher, a winner without a doubt.

    Works well, but some daft features.
    East to put together. Patio attachment works very well but the soap/ cleaner mix is not only a waste of time, the onboard reservoir fails to pump the liquid further than a few millimetres up the tube. A good product marred by silly & unnecessary gimmicks, hence 4 stars.

    Build quality not as expected.
    Not as well made as the older models. With care it will hopefully last. I will look for a different make next time.

    Great set of attachments.
    Product is very easy to assemble, connects to your hose and power very easily and comes with a good selection of attachments for different uses. Did my patio for the first time in three years and it went from being pretty much black to very clean very easily. The circular attachment minimises splash a lot so your fence and house don’t get splattered. All in all, an excellent product. Attached video shows how effective it is.

    End of lockdown patio cleaning.
    This was delivered within 2 days. Very pleased. As a replacement to an earlier Kartcher washer the difference in weight is very noticeable as this is much lighter and a smaller unit.
    It was assembled in about 15 minutes quite straightforward.
    Test cleaning the drive way and patio in anticipation to the end of lockdown and fully expect no problems with it.
    EDIT.
    As expected it performed as I expected. No issues with continual use for over 3 hour’s. As someone else has said getting the water cable unconnected is difficult but that may just be me with my wrist issues. The patio cleaner attachment was poor but we were not using the shampoo so I will reserve judgement on that for now. The wife love it too and agrees with my 5 star rating.

    Powerful Karcher K3
    I am really delighted with this pressure washer and have already cleaned my slabs, decking and brick paving. The slabs particularly have come up like new. It is easy and light to move around and has various attachments for different cleaning needs. I needed a little help from my son to assemble it and found you tube guides very useful. Would highly recommend.

    Does a cracking job!
    Ought this as both our patio & decking needed a spring clean. Probably 4-5 years since the patio had some attention & decking been in for approaching 7 years now. Home kit pretty good at clearing general grime but more stubborn marks needed the power Lance to remove. Delay with grime on patio & decking brilliantly and with the power lance also shifted the green moss/algae substance on the shaded deck areas. Decking back to the treated timber colour it was when I installed it (or at least it will be once it dries out!

    Well worth the money. I suspect I’ll be cleaning both much more frequently now!

    Haven’t tried the included surface detergent yet as I thought it would be too heavy a job for the 500ml & I’d run out before finishing but have every confidence that it will be good. Perhaps a further clean of the decking later in with it now that I’ve got the heavy grime removed.
