This was a gift and the recipient has had no complaints fully reccommend this
Versatile and easy to use. It cleans everything such as cars, patio, bikes, rubbish bins, drive way etc. Definitely worth the price!
Small but effective ! Packaging was sturdy, delivery was on time and with no problem. I immediately used it to open my blocked drain with Karcher drain cleaning kit and the result was perfect. No need to pay the same cost for plumbing services.
I use this on the patio and also the yard its brillia
10/10. This thing has serious pressure. It cleaned my front and back garden tiles tremendously. However, it did not have the power to clean dirt off of bricks that have been in place for around 5+ years. You would probably need a K4 for that. But it smashed the cleaning of at least 70% of my bricks. Overall, a stunning product, and I would definitely recommend to a friend.
Only Used it once. Stunned by how good it is.
The patio cleaning bit is essential if you want to use it for patio.
Good value and reasonably powerful. Cleaned the patio very well and the same with cars
I’ve used it for cleaning paving slabs and washing the car. Both were straightforward although it is not clear that it is safe to use the brush on the car even though the attachment is at full power (the non-brush attachment has three power settings). A good purchase.
Bought to clean my drive and patio, I’ve used a normal jet wash in the past and it was very messy, the covered tool on this works perfect to stop excessive splashback going over all the cracks on a bricked driveway, I actually enjoyed cleaning the drive, only downside is its a tiny bit short for me at 6ft so I was having bend over so by the time I’d finished I had a bit of backache, could be worth offering (if they don’t already) an extender for taller people
Thought the instructions left a lot to be desired. Easy to use and being so light helped move it around. My patio does look different now it has been “Karchered”.
Great piece of kit, using for all kinds of jobs..
Ideal used it to clean my paths been here 3 years never new the patio was thats colour. Both the cars look clean and saved me 7 a car a month at garage jet wash so happy.
Only think thats a issue is the washer bottle is small (enough for 1 family car) but can get bigger ones to fi
This is a fabulous little machine I soon got my patio and paths cleaned have not yet tried it on the car but a must to have saves a lot of hard work cleaning patios etc
Have only used for washing cars so far. The big test will be the patio!
ok so I have tested this product and can confirm it is better than going to get it washed by the randoms who crawl all over your car, has a good pressure output I put mine on full and it seems to be about the same as you would get at a petrol station. cleaning option is good and foams well but the brush attachment is a little cheap and flexible ie moves/rocks in the socket on the hard to clean places, but you can use any car cleaning product in the tank I did worked fine, this product requires a non-return valve connection if connecting to the kitchen sing using double taps or you will force pressure back down your hot pipe
The item arrived on the original date arranged (a miracle for Amazon!). The assembly was OK although trying to disconnect the HP hose from either the machine or pistol can be a test of patience. When I first tried to use it, I only got a dribble of water through even though I could feel the hose pressurizing. It transpired the inlet filter was blocked, so I removed it and everything appears fine. I’ve since had a couple of enjoyable sessions blasting 20 years of grime from my patio.
Considering the HP hose connections and the filter arriving already blocked, I’ve knocked off one star from my rating.
Excellent value bought when on offer, a must for cleaner flagstones.
The instructions were a little unclear at first on how to assemble and get started. But once you know its excellent to use.
Bought this to replace an previous power washer (Draper) which wasnt working. I read a few reviews and prompted for this one. Easy to put together, lightweight and works well. Yes it may feel a bit flimsy with plastic fittings etc but it is for occasional domestic use so it wont be abused. Successfully cleaned decking and balustrade which had been neglected for 12 years by previous house owner. Patio and drive way are next.
Very pleased and it works a treat, so I guess I must have set it up ok, but some instructions would have been useful
Perfect to clean my patio and drive a great buy
So far I’ve just used the pressure washer on a patio. The difference between the washed and unwashed areas is startling. Very impressive.
Best thing since sliced bread. Never had one before but cannot rate this machine more, it cleaned my back yard a treat with not too much mess on me. My water pressure is not very goo but with this machine the pressure is brilolian. Just love it.
Well… what’s not been written about this item.. like the rest, great quality… does the business… !!
A new toy. Its perfect for patio and decking cleaning and really takes the hard work out of cleaning the ca
Why didn’t I buy one years ago. It is so easy to use and saves so much time and hassle washing the car and bikes.i can even clean the neighbours cars as well as my own in half the time it used to take by hand. Easy to clean the UVPC doors and patio and paths,so simple
Got it for 80 on prime day. Tons of tools, great for the patio and the car. Very pleased
Car has never been cleaner, use the shampoo attachment to spray car after wetting. Use a wet sponge to clean then pressure wash off. Even keeps on top of brake dust on alloys with a spray of alloy cleaner. Plus done 140 square metres of monobloc which has came up like new with the patio cleaner.
Amazing little pressure washer, good for washing the cars or the patio, plenty of power for both these jobs. Small footprint makes it easy to store away
Very powerful and I love the patio fitting, allows you to cover twice the distance in half the time!
Fully equipped for a wide range of home, car and garden applications. This saved me a lot of time cleaning the masonry of my cottage before painting and I look forward to seeing how well it performs on my car and patio. I wish I’d bought one years ago
My husband loves this. But only 2 years on and it’s broken really disappointed having to buy a replaceme
Part of an Amazon Day, half price or twice the product. Nice one.
Cars nd drive duly washed!
Super lightweight pressure washer. I bought this after borrowing my daughters. It is fantastic on our granite cobbles, our brick paving and cement patio slabs using the T cleaner. Our cars have never been cleaner and we have also used it to wash our garden walls prior to repainting. We bought the K2 Premium Full Control model and it is excellent.
Bought this model specifically for the patio cleaner,didn’t disappoint,did a brilliant job
Great small and powerful tool. More than enough for home use.
The only issue I had is that it came with a damaged isolation on the high pressure hose. Don’t want to return or replace the whole thing as it just takes too much effort, but can’t contact Amazon regarding this issue only. It only offers me replacement/refund options.
Great product would thoughly recommend bought as a birthday pressie for hubby and its much more versatile than expected and does the job well, Thanks
I am not keen on the instructions but love using this pressure washer, waters the garden, cleans the car and cleans the path and patio.
love it . powerful piece of kit. cleans like a dream. totally taken by surprise at how much power there is when im using it. So glad i bought it.
Not used this pressure washer yet, It is quite small but other reviews confirm that it works well.
This is great. Had a quick play with it and I’m loving the results. Can’t wait to use it on the ca
Great product haven’t had any issues with it and recommend
I previously bought another karcher at 4x the price from a well known online shopping service, it broke within the first use so I sent it back. This was a risk I took buying the same brand from Amazon but I’m so glad I did, I have 4 dogs and need reliable equipment to keep the yard clean and this ticks every single box for a quarter of the price… thanks Amazon for your great prices.
Used it to clean the winter dirt off the patio a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly.
delivered on time good quality for the price as expected from karcher not used as yet but expect to do the job as intended
fantastic product very pleased thank you an asset no problems with setting up and using it.
Bargain..does what I wanted it for! Will never buy a cheap make pressure washer again. Karcher from now o
Don’t let the size fool you, this little thing is a powerhouse of a jet wash. Makes cleaning cars and patios a breeze and isn’t too noisy either like some others. The accessories provided are excellent and do what they were made for very well. If you’re looking for a compact but powerful machine, I doubt you’d find better than this one.
great bit of kit that make work so much easie
Great car wash kit! I got the extra piece for the snow wash kit.
The patio cleaner is so quick, so much better than the single jet!
Buy this product and you will have cleaned up on value for money.
Functionallty sound, click/ twist pressure option. Uses the soap mixes in soft flow settings, and this works better than previous “RAC” washer.
Probably suitable for most uses without choosing more complex/expensive units in range. Light weight.
Best piece of kit I have very purchased from Amazon.. Obviously with it being a Karcher, there is a multitude of accessories available, as well as those already included.. Gone are the days of being soaked by an inferior, unbranded useless heap of junk, this has made many jobs much easier for me already, and looking forward to using more in future.. Would buy another again if, for any reason, I ever needed to.
on unpacking do not have detergent bottle other wise good thanks
Used it to clean the car done the job with the enclosed car shampoo. Now to try it on the patio
Bought as a used item with the disclaimers about cosmetic damage. The washer came as good as new, with all the parts in polythene bags and needing assembly. The bottles of detergent were missing but this was to replace a near identical washer which I never used detergent with anyway. Clearly it’s original buyer just took advantage of distance selling perks.
This compact and powerful little unit has done a great job in cleaning my block paving.
i did not expect it to be as good as it is so easy to use everything works as it should simply the best door bell i have ever had its brillia
Works fine, nice and lightweight, hope that’s not a sign of durability.
I like the quick hose attachme
Does what it says – seems quite robust, very happy with everything including price
Absolutely brilliant, bought it mainly to clean the path and patio and it made the job so quick and easy. Really easy to assemble and operate. So far so good.
I haven’t used this as yet, as I am waiting for Spring/Summer as it is rather cold at the moment!
I was prompted to buy it, as a friend of mind lent me hers’ last year and I found it so therapeutic and
did a fantastic job of cleaning my patio in the back-garden!
Very good value,does what it says on the ti
Bought for daughter and son in law as a present they love i
Simply the best bought to replace an older version well pleased as always
Excellent value for money kit. Works very well. Would recommend to others.
I bought this as a cheap option to start using a pressure washer for cleaning my car. The foam lance has changed my world. I use this for every single wash now! Product runs well, it’s light and easy to maneuver, and plenty of pressure for washing cars. Not used the patio attachment yet.
Only good for push bikes and cars. Very small good for minior jobs
Brilliant lcompact washer. Easy. To use and my husband loves this
Much lighter and simpler to operate than my old Karcher which is still working, so pleased I have bought it, I will scrap my old one.
Wonderful so far. Saves loads of time cleaning the car. The snow foam lance was better than expected. Haven’t used to clean the drive yet, as it’s so cold out, but looking forward to having the front of the house spotless! Used it on the front door, garage and outhouse and they came up great too. Easy to use. Would recommend.
Brilliant for cleaning out leaf filled gulleys and outside windows. Also great for cleaning off outside walls covered in road grime
It was a gift for someone who loves it – it’s sttill her favourite toy
Cleaned patio ok. Haven’t really used it for much else at the moment.
great product so much better than my last one from diy store.my patio has never looked so good, i have know brought three karcher products this month
Excellent does everything asked of it car, patio, fence cleaned
Made up with my karcher k2 so easy for me to use
Excellent value. The hose has a variable pressure which is great for more delicate items, like wooden garden furniture. Great range of accessories. It’s really compact so easy to store. Much better than my previous non karcher washer.
Perfect for car/patio/deck cleaning, accessories with this kit are also grea
Was waiting for this to replace an old cheapy one, got when on 1/2 price sale.
More than happy with this item , does as it discribed so useful
Second Karcher I’ve owned in 15yrs, the first finally gave up after all that time so hoping this one lasts the distance as well. Great product. I know people that have been through several cheaper alternatives in that time.
I’ve had a couple of pressure washers and find the Karcher to be ideal for quick or small scale jobs. It’s lightweight and easy to move, has simple set up and controls, and decent reach on the hose. You also get a good range of attachments. For jobs like car washing, bikes, patios etc it’s ideal. I have used it to clean a tarmac drive and found I had to get the nozzle very close to the surface for a decent clean as the power of the jet drops off quite quickly, but is perfectly acceptable for most household and garden tasks. In my experience you have to pay quite a lot more (probably around double) to get appreciable uptick in performance. Just bear in mind it’s probably not ideal for heavy duty tasks.
Best big toy ever !!! Love it .. everywhere is so clean !!!
Works perfectly, all the attachments do as they should, can’t ask for more than tha
My wife loves it. The patio cleaner could do with brush
Easy to use once I realised where to turn it on.
Karcher have a solid name in the jet-washer field and this model cements that. The kit comes with everything you could need to get those jet-wash jobs done around the house, you get the car brush ( although I often avoid these as they always seem too harsh for car paintwork ), a patio cleaner, a standard wand and a few other parts.
I’ve been in need of a washer for some time but I’ve never owned a Karcher before. I was very impressed. There was some basic assembly but a the instructions come on paper, much better than companies cutting corners by going digital with their manuals, it was a cinch to put together. First test out to the garden to give the patio a good going over as it hasn’t been scrubbed for around 3-4 years. The Karcher cut through the grime like wiping down crumbs from a kitchen worktop. I used both the specific cleaner attachment and finished off with the wand. Took me no time at all, a good start.
Next stop our 30foot caravan, which to put it bluntly is essentially a huge steel box and it very teedious job to clean. After sitting under it’s cover for the Winter needed a wash down in preparation for the Summer season. Once again the Karcher did a superb job. The steel/alu shell on a caravan can be easily dinged and dented, especially by something as powerful as a precise jet of water but the Karcher gives you a lot of control over the rate and flow and it was a easy to soap the van and wash down.
I’m always wary of “attacking” cars with a jet washer, a jet of water that can easily cut you or give a very nasty welt should be used with care on paintwork but as I said before the Karcher has excellent control and it worked brilliantly.
I know a lot of people who’ve all praised the Karcher models quite highly and now I can see why. I’m pleased I finally have one and I hope with care it should last me a good few years.
Arrived next day and works very well. Light and powerful enough for average home use
Having searched around for a good deal this hits the spot. A lot of kit for a good price I found it to be the best deal out there would recommend
I used this to clean my decking, which hadn’t really been cleaned for over four years. Before cleaning, the decking was a dark brownish black colour with greenish patches – it was also treacherously slippy.
I used the standard nozzle, along with the supplied cleaning chemicals attached to the included sprayer attachment, and the decking came up pretty much like new with the bare minimum effort.
Once finished, the decking was restored to its original, clean, light wood state. I then applied a new protective coating.
One work of caution – as the instructions say, don’t use the extra-power nozzle at point blank on wooden decking – it will rip into the wood and shred the surface – use the standard nozzle and maintain a distance of a few centimeters.
Quieter than last one, more powerful and easy to use. Excellent results on patio
Delighted with it and the very quick delivery – thank you.
I was expecting a higher pressure, the machine still did what I wanted. Have a problem buying the Karcher supplies locally.
Review based on couple of uses – can’t comment about long term durability, but will updateif there’s a major fail.
Unpacking and building – not much to do, wheels and handles clip on. The build quality of all the clip on things seem abit ropey, but they seem sturdy when mounted.
Comes with patio lance (good rotating feature), adjustable power lance (really good feature, easy twist to adjust) foam spray (again good, sprays fairly fine would be decent with wax etc…) patio brush (plastic disc encloses cleaning element stopping dirt and water spraying all over the car you just washed). Car wash brush is pretty good too, soft enough to use with ease.
The machine is plenty powerful stripping a year or two of dirt of patio, only gripes is the build quality (though actual lances/sprayer etc are good) the wheels are just for show really and the handle could break pretty easily if dropped.
Enough power to do most non commercial things here and enough accessories to keep you happy too.
Oh and buy the way you’ll find the serial number under the intake bottle for liquid cleaners (again a really good feature and big enough to get around a couple of cars at a time).
the extras are nice as well. The foaming spray dispenser particularly. This can coat a car in (quite a lot) of shampoo in next to no time, but also works for other cleaning. For example, it will soak a bike in (rather less, if you are careful) bike cleaner in an instant, which can then be left on to soak in before rinsing with a light spray. This means the Karcher can be a useful aid to cleaning even when you don’t want anything approaching the full blast of the washer (using the pressure settings on a bike is not recommended since it can theoretically blast the grease out of bearings… and (see above) will strip the paint even more easily!) The hose-brush convinces me rather less, not least since it gets filthy very fast, and seems to wash away the shampoo too quickly. The floor cleaning disc works well, but takes a lot of back and forth to avoid a spiral pattern on the ground, and is the most cumbersome bit to store. Altogether the added bits would cost much more than the difference between the basic kit and the bundle, however, so in my view it is worth getting the package.
Now that I have tried the various settings and gadgets/wands which come in the box, I have been surprised by how powerful the pressure washer is. It cleaned off more than 15 years’ worth of muck from the concrete slabs on my patio area with no difficulty. The change from dirty brown to bright, light brown concrete colour is very dramatic – see photo, and that was without using any cleaning product. The rotating patio cleaning head is as effective as the vario-wand set to ‘hard’ and far less messy because it contains the jets under the cover. The only thing I would say, having metered water, is that it probably uses quite a bit of water (360 litres per hour to be exact). It took an hour to scour clean my patio which is thirty square metres. On the other hand, cleaning the patio isn’t something I would do more often than once a year from now on.
The ‘medium’ setting on the vario-wand gives a wider spray which is not as intense as the ‘hard’ setting, and is useful for softer surfaces. Using the ‘hard’ setting was quite effective on plastic patio chairs which had gone black after being left outside for about twelve years.
The ‘soft’ setting on the vario-wand appeared to be no different to using a hosepipe direct, and was suitable for watering the flower beds without damaging the plants. In other words, I might as well have used the hosepipe. The same applies to washing the car. I would hesitate to use the hard setting even on the underside of the car to clean off mud inside the wheel arches and from the tyres and hubs, probably the medium setting would be sufficient, and I would definitely not go anywhere near the paintwork on the medium or hard setting.
All the parts seemed to be well made and they fitted together securely to give a feeling of confidence when using such a high pressure device. With this model there are very convenient on-board storage slots, sufficient to accommodate the gun and lances, with a hook for the high pressure hose and mains cable. The high pressure hose is a very good length, so that it is easily possible to work away from the machine.
Good value. works well. not as messy as the earlier models
