Liked the engineering design and development.
Also having owned a Karcher jet wash that lasted 20 years it was a no brainier to replace my old model for a new one
Can’t complain. Would be good if it had a hose and electric cable reel. Lighter than I thought, very simple to use.
Great pressure washer but I had difficulty getting the washing liquid bottles to engage & dispense.
Really good kit but of assembly required but really good to o e done
I found that the Motor of this k-5 pump was 50 herz while our power supply is 60 Hertz so this is the reason of the pump surging and I change the rating from 1 to 5
Easy to set up and use, great for car cleaning especially on alloy wheels and under wheel arches. The T Racer attachment makes easy patio and path cleaning and avoids soaking your legs. This is the second Karcher bought to replace a machine that had given years of service
Used this now quite a few times very easy to use, some of the assembly can be troublesome make sure you are using the correct screws. Works a treat and given the brand I expect good long term satisfaction.
Fantastic water pressure – so much better than the K2 I had previously.
Accessories are solidly built.
Car wash brush turns freely
Compatible with AutoGlym snow foam gun!
And the bad:
Relatively expensive
Hose guide is appallingly bad and catches constantly.
Plug and play cleaner fluid is more hit and miss – issues with it slotting in.
Assembly guide is very small and could be clearer.
Included foam jet is pointless.
Vario jet twists, display on control gun is not LED and serves no purpose, it’s a gimmick.
Overall I would recommend it on the basis that the niggles are small and the annoying hose guide can be bypassed, from a pressure wash perspective it is very effective.
This washer deals with cleaning large patios, roads, yards, brickwork down.
