Great for cleaning 3 muddy dogs after a walk. Very easy to use
Another fantastic winner from Karcher. Great dimensions and well made. Enough pressure to deal with plenty equipments as you go. For low pressure portable cleaning equipment is definitely more than enough. Highly recommend.
This is a great device for cleaning the dog after muddy walks. It’s just the right pressure to get dirt off but not hurt him (in fact he loves it!). I don’t know what we did without it before, apart from having a very dirty car! Strongly recommend.
Super handy, and useful little machine. Would have been five stars if only it had a little more grunt. I know that’s asking a lot, for a cordless machine of this size – but, the heart wants what the heart wants.
I bought this to wash off my two labradoodles’ muddy paws after their walks and can honestly say that I have used it every day since I bought it. Fantastically easy to use and I can usually manage to clean their paws with just one fill of the tank which is great to take in the car. It has also never ran out of power. Well worth the money
One charge and with three water refills was able to give my car a reasonably good wash. All is did was throw a few buckets of soapy over the car prior to use and it did the job for me. Has worked well with my bungalow windows too. A great tool which took just over two hours to charge before use.
Recommended by fellow dog owners, bought during the winter wet weather/muddy dog season.absolutely transformed the experience of walking and cleaning muddy dogsbrilliant. Plenty of battery life and sufficient water reservoir for one dog clean before needing a refill.
This is a brilliant piece of kit that I would urge any dog walker to get. No more pumping to get the pressure up, just quick and easy to clean the dog, and yea the pressure is enough to remove the mud. Fantastic
Excellently built piece of kit, perfect for giving my bike a quicj k washdown, though with it’s 4l tank, you will find yourself refiling it often, which kind of spoils the whoile idea of it being portable. If you are out in themiddle of nowhere, and didn’t think to carry a large tank of fresh water, hopefully the 4l will laste. I for one would love to see Karcher produce a larger tank to replace the one fitted, though the carry handle would not work, with a larger tank in place, it would giove the ewager a longer work time.. Let’s be honest, it you have access to a tap, you may as well get a full blowbn pressure washer.. For me though, it’s ideal. Very happy with it.
Unfortunately I had to return this product after it only managed to wash the underneath & paws of one cocker spaniel and half of the other cocker spaniel before it ran out of water. I know most will use extra water to top it up or put the hose into a larger water bottle but it’s a lot of faff.
The product itself work’s brilliantly so I was super gutted that it doesn’t hold more water. To me it’s just a really expensive muddy welly washer at the most as it only lasted 2-3 minutes before the water ran out so you’d have to be fast!
Lovely piece of kit. Very compact, pretty quiet and very useful.
If your bike is very dirty, you will need to fill the tank 2-3 times to finish the job, apart frol that, very happy after all.
Also, I would expect the car charging adapter to be included for the price but you have to buy it separately.
Early days, but I’m very happy with this after first use! It’s a trickle without the nozzle, but as soon as you put the yellow bit on, it’s a decent jet.
Got it for cleaning my road bike and it managed to take all the dried-on mud off in the first use. Nice gadget for my London flat.
Brilliant bit of kit, we clean the dog off in the woods after a walk before he is allowed back in the car. Battery lasts about 4 or 5 outings which is fine and pressure is good but not too extreme so perfect for what we use it for. Bought it off the back of seeing someone else use one for the same. Usual top quality Karcher machine.
I brought it for my mountain bike it holds 4 lt of water it’s just enough but I carry another 5lt bottle with me. It has enough power to remove mud. Very impressed with it. The only problem is there no where to store the plug to charge the unit so could get lost. I keep the unit in the car in case the dogs get muddy as well the water doesn’t come out as the lid is just a push down rubber one recommend buying a wheel bush fit 2 instead of 19 that fits the end of the spray
We hummed and haaa’d about whether to get this as it is quite expensive, but we’re very pleased as it is a good level of power, won’t hurt the dog, but gets the mud and/or sand out very well. It’s also pretty good for the bikes when we’ve been out on them. Happy to recommend it.
We use the Karcher to clean our dog and boots after muddy walks. It’s easy to use and does the job well. If you have a BIG clean up to do, you might want to carry a container with extra water in the car to add if needed.
Fantastic portable unit perfect for washing the puppy down after a long walk!
Bought this to wash down muddy dogs after their walks, works really well, we put hot tap water in before their walk and it’s still Luke warm when we use it. Thoroughly recommend this item.
Easy to use and powerful enough to give the dog and wellies a good clea
I have this in my boot to wash my golf trolley down its perfect just enough water in the tank but i keep a 10ltr of extra water just incase i want it extra clean!! No complaints
I use the Karcher to clean my golf cart and shoes and it is very efficient to do this but needs topping up when the water runs out. I carry a 1 ltr bottle of water in my car to top it up.
Ideal for cleaning my dog after a walk. Keep it in the van ready to use anytime. Easy to use, good pressure, compact. Battery lasts well. Quite a small water compartment but I get 2-3 dog paw washes out of it. I actually wouldn’t want it to hold more water because I like how compact it is. Can easily top up with extra water from a jerry can if need be. Definitely recommend this to anyone who’s struggled with cheaper portable dog washing products.
Tried to wash pup after beach visit but the noise scared him
So far just used on my bike after a muddy ride. Used with warm water it cleaned down great. The integrated tank is just enough for light dirt on a bike, as things get more muddy would likely need to refill it or use external tank which look a bit fiddly to be honest. Will probably also use for the dog in winter too.
Fantastic little unit, brilliant battery life and enough power to clean my hovercraft in one charge.
I can’t recommend this enough to dog owners. Muddy walks – no problem!
I was skeptical that a 4 litre water tank would be enough, or the pressure would be right. Happy to say this is a really good bit of kit. Incredibly simple to use and it works perfectly for cleaning a bike when you don’t have access to a hose pipe and/or if you want to use warm water for better cleaning results and warmer hands. Reservoir seal is good quality so no leaking issues filling it up at home and putting it in the boot of your car.
It is very easy to use. My dogs paws are cleaned of mud in seconds – and they happily accept the spray. Ideal for washing grass off the mower plus a myriad of uses. You’ll love it too.
Very easy to set up and start using. Bought with the additional car adaptor. Very useful for cleaning, down the kids, shoes & pram after messy days at the beach. Take spare bottles of water to top up tank. Expensive, but expected for the better quality associated with Karche
It’s a very handy small item that has proven really helpful for washing off sandy wetsuits, paddle boards and children’s feet!
The pressure is good for a small unit and it’s not particularly noisy. Easy to refill if you wish to – a five litre water bottle from the supermarket is handy, or even better, a plastic Jerry can.
It is a lot of money but when I consider how much time I’m no longer wasting cleaning up (including our van) then I’d say it’s probably worth having if you can get it at a good price such as the 87 promo.
Only disappointment is that accessories
are at a price you could describe a laughable for what they are!
As a portable all purpose cleaner this works really well, as for the many complaints about it running out quickly you simply need a separate water container job done.
I ordered the Wiggle V15 prior which is at least 3 times the weight of the Karcher and while it’s tank is much bigger the pressure is about the same, so returned it as this is simply a far better solution that does what it says on the tin.
Got this to clean my bike after a ride before brining it into the house and honestly mixed results. The pressure isn’t enough to get off proper dried on mud, but if its still wet its great. No issue with pressure affecting bearings. As part of my washing routine for a cleanish bike, its great.
Also bonus I got the dog accessories so pop this in the boot of the car if I know the dog is going to get dirty and can shower her off a bit better before the journey home.
Purchased because I live in flats and don’t have water or electricity where my bike is stored. Given both bikes a good clean and the pressure is excellent, not too much to risk ruining bearings if I spray in the wrong place, but not too little that it doesn’t remove dirt. Water in the tank lasts about 2 mins but I bought the extra hose and stuck it in a 20L tank which works a treat.
I use muc off cleaner and now my bikes are squeaky clean, including the sandy chains that come from living near the coast.
I also use this to wash my diving gear and inflatable SUP’s before putting them in the car, saving the need to haul stuff upstairs and wash in the shower.
All in all an excellent bit of kit, would recommend to anybody
I can’t talk about reliability at this point having only had the item for one day but in terms of – does this do what I bought it for – its brilliant. I bought it to wash my mountain bike which gets caked in mud on an almost daily basis. My question/hesitation before purchasing was, – being reasonably priced and battery powered, will it actually be powerfull enough to remove the various mud layers from my bike – and – Yes, perfect water pressure to remove all the mud, including the dried mud from last week without any worry at all that I was flushing bearings.
One tank is enough to give the bike a once over, all over, but I refilled once to give it a…. twice over. Great product performance wise, will probably be washing my bike more often now.. certainly beats snapping the spout off my bath tap trying to wrestle the hose attachment free.
This is great for rinsing off muddy paws and you can recharge the battery in the car or at home. I’m sure can be used for loads more tasks.
Fantastic dog shower. Small, portable and easy to use. Enough pressure to hose down a muddy retriever! Can take hot water.
Put off buying one of these as we thought they were too expensive. Bought it when on offer and now wished we’d invested in one sooner. Brilliant for cleaning the dog and our muddy walking boots.
This is a great bit of kit for washing your bike. Cleverly designed and highly portable, enough pressure to rinse away mud without th need to worry about water ingress. My bike doesn’t know what has hit it, it’s never looked so clean.
Holds 4litres (maybe worth while carrying an additional 2l if it’s really muddy). Can also use warm water.
Pressure is better than another well known portable washer and I also use this to remove bird poop from my car.. Works a treat!
I was half expecting to return this, but pleasantly surprised… Oh please don’t think this is a pressure washer replacement!
Bought for cleaning my dog after a walk. I bough the shower nozzle as only a small dog and probs too much pressure for him with nozzle supplied. Works a treat. Great produc
Great idea. I walk my dog in muddy fields then she gets in my car , you can guess the rest . Now I can wash her off before she gets in , easy and she’s fine with it . Also great at cleaning off the golf trolley and bikes. Wish I’d got one years ago. Highly recommend and credit where credit is due.
This cleaner gets used everyday to clean our two spaniels after their daily romps in woodland. Our liver and white puppy attracts dirt ike a magnet. We use warm water too and it works an absolute treat. We have had many interested dog walkers enquire about it. They have been very impressed.
I have had many people stop to ask about it and say “I need one of those”
Top class we use this to clean our dog, its just magic
I must admit I had my doubts as to whether this would be any good for muddy bikes. However, having tried it on two well muddied mountain bikes I’m very happy with the results and it’s certainly a lot more convenient than getting a hose out. I found it works particularly well if you give the bike a good spray with Muc Off before using the washer.
Does everything we wanted it to, great battery life and a good portable size
I bought this for my husbands birthday. He loves it he uses it to wash down his golf trolley and golf shoes which can be quite muddy.
Very good, pressure ok but not like a plug in version. Perfect for doing odd jobs (cleaning a caravan where no power is available or your car if you live in a flat) Water runs out quickly so take a bucket to top it up)
Brilliant portable wash I use on my Labrador. Saves dirty mess all over my car and house when she’s been in Water and mud on our walks wherever we are. Enough for one large dog, possibly two but I would take extra water bottle if need to top up the tank. Highly recommend.
