Very powerful, Moss, algae, stains all gone. Easy to use and control
But it has a completely useless bluetooth connection to your phone. Everything you want to do is achieved by pressing buttons on the wand, or twisting the tip
So, who thinks that you need to control something that is already in your hand!?!!?
Total waste of technology that achieves nothing
This karcher pressure washer is fantastic. Karcher is a well known brand known for its quality and this product fits in well with that.
It comes in a large box and it is easy to assemble. This pressure washer is special as it has a smart aspect to it- you can download the app on your phone and use it to change the controls on the pressure washer (the pressure washer has built in Bluetooth) but this also isn’t necessary if you don’t want to use it this way- it has a smart lcd controller on the handle.
It is comfortable to hold and use, and makes light work of cleaning items, be it vehicles or paving slabs.
This thing is a beast! We had a Karcher a few years back and I thought that one was powerful but this one puts it to shame. Power with a capital P. Mostly using on the patio slabs and dark bit up the side of the house that is always dark green but it’s great for the guttering on the conservatory too. Have been standing quite a distance away on the garden incline and just aiming in the general direction of the gutters because I’m terrified of it being on the wrong setting and punching a hole right through the glass roof by mistake. So far, so good though. Makes light work of everything we’ve tried it on and I’m delighted with the results. I usually hate on principle anything that comes with an app or needs one to integrate or work with but I’ll make an exception for this one because it’s a great bit of kit.
App control. Fun, functional, but perhaps unnecessary. You can set pressure, tinker with settings and read tips, but you may decide that’s a bit gimmicky.
Great trigger controlled LED head.
This has done a great job for us cleaning up patio and stonework with the Stone and Paving cleaner.
A very big unit, be warned. Take the measurements into account before buying. Thee red box is huge too, you may need help manoeuvring it.
If you are used to a K2, this will seem huge, and heavy.
Excellent pro unit, but at a cost and size premium.
Packaged and presented with a high quality solid craftsmanship and setup is a breeze. I am particularly pleased how well made this one is thanks to the shape and design. Also this model is compatible with an app which is user friendly and gives an insightful application advisor, which will give you the best advice on for example cleaning a car and what pressure level to use, also the nozzle setting and instruction step which is reasonably good and optional / useful if your new to pressure washers.
In terms of performance i think it works quicker and more effective then some of tried in the past. Whizzes through effectively particularly a patio and after a few minutes i noticed how it wants to attack the job at hand and basically does all the hard work. It really does pack a punch with absolutely no issues whatsoever.
Once you get used to the nozzle settings switching relating to the job, then you know the effectiveness and capabilities where you will notice the difference.
Its durable and has a strong handle to transport easily from area to area. Little weighty but sufficient cable length does make life alot easier and convenient.
Im not keen on the trigger, it does go in too easily, so when you get a tired hand i found it will ease off the trigger and go off, but no biggy!
Care and maintenance instructions are straight forward and to be fair im really impressed with this machine.
Pros — Powerful
Solid Build Quality
Great Results
Cons — Expensive
Heavy
Pointless app
Very happy to recommend though as it surpassed expectations.
I’ve been using pressure washers for years. In fact, I still have 2 that are located in different houses and are still going strong after many years of hard service. It is normally the better made ones that last longest and are trusted the most.
I also have various Karcher products and I generally consider Karcher to be a quality brand and one that has yet to let me down. Its products generally represent good value.
You can see where I am going with this, or rather how high I have set my expectations for the Karcher K7 pressure washer.
By way of conclusion ahead of fuller thoughts, this pressure washer is simply incredible. An absolutely awesome beast of a machine (weighing 18kg) with tremendous cleaning power. My best pressure washer to date, by far.
What’s in the box
– Yellow/black pressure washer
– Power jet spray lance
– Digital display control gun
– Storage net
– Black plastic hose / tap connector
– Instruction manuals
My initial reaction isn’t that it’s a huge and heavy machine, which it most definitely is, but that it’s a well thought out and put together machine. Don’t misunderstand my comment because this machine is likely (much) larger than any home pressure washer you have purchased previously.
It has a retractable handle. 2 large wheels and easy store winding pressure hose reel attached to the back of the machine. This is fantastic because it’s the pressure hose that I struggle with the most when I’m putting my pressure washer away. It’s really easy to now store this machine tidily even with the lengthy power cable. The gun and lance separate and are stored in the compartment provided at the front of the machine.
Putting together is really straight forward. Pressure hose through the hose guide on the side of the machine, spray lance to spread gun and pressure hose into gun with a firm click. The hose connector and hose attach to the front of the machine. It’s that straight forward. All that’s left is to run the water tap and power on the pressure washer. Oh yes, should you wish to add cleaning solution, the bottle sits upside on the top of the machine, in the slot provided.
The pressure hose measures 10m in length.
To select the type of object being cleaned (eg car or paving slabs pressure required, eg soft medium or for hard pressure) simply roar the spray lance. Pressure can also be adjusted via the digital display (using the +/- buttons) on the gun or via the Bluetooth connected Krcher app. The app duplicates the options on the digital gun so you can choose which one you prefer to use. For example, the short sharp boost function can be achieved via both gun and app.
I’m use, I have enclosed a video of me jet washing garden paving slabs on the highest pressure setting. Albeit quickly done, paving slabs had their direct removed effortlessly. I will go over the same area again, but I am very happy with the initial results and speed at which I achieved these results. This machine and its pressure is incredible.
Using on the car, the instructions advise / recommend using the medium pressure setting. Paving slabs – high, fences / wood – soft.
Overall, this is a simply incredible machine. Tremendously well put together and effortless in its cleaning power (max 180 bar).
Simply incredible and undoubtedly a huge upgrade on any machine that I have used before. I must also add that I really appreciate how easy it is to add cleaner bottle directly on to the pressure washer and the extra long (10m) pressure hose.
Highly recommended.
I hope you found this review helpful.
This power washer comes in a large box that contains everything you need to get started. The boxers filled with information both the power washer and how it can be used effectively all of its features.
Once you remove the power washer from the box it is two assemble everything together and get it ready for use. The power washer is a smartwatcher so it can also be connected to your phone making it very convenient and easy to use.
Once is connected to your phone you are able to choose different surfaces that you would be washing and it will automatically adjust the power of the water to match the surface you are cleaning. This can also be done manually if you would prefer to do it that way. It’s great for quickly switching between different surfaces and making sure that your cause no damage as the jet is extremely strong on some modes. It will be perfect in the summer for keeping garden tiles clean.
This is a really outstanding bit of kit from karcher. This brand and the distinctive yellow design is really the best when it comes to this type of product and the K7 is top of the range. It comes well boxed and packaged and it is easy to set up. I noticed two things straight away. Firstly the weight. It’s heavy and for that reason it may not be suitable for the infirm. It takes quite a lot of effort to lug it about. This wasn’t a problem for me but may be a consideration. Second is the build quality. It’s second to none and it looks and feels fantastic. Everything clicks together nicely. On the nozzle you have a clear and easy to use screen which tells you which pressure level you are using. there are different modes and different power levels. Do be warned, the top power level is insane. It’s like nothing I have experienced from a pressure washer before and actually pushed me backwards the first time I used it. I found the option of changing settings in the app a bit gimmicky, in reality I haven’t used this option and doubt I would. This is an expensive product, worth it in my opinion as it’s fantastic. If you are going to use a washer regularly or you need a more powerful one, there are none better than this
As compared to my old K5 pressure washer this K7 is more powerful. As Karcher is known for it’s build quality and long life products, The build quality of this pressure washer is exceptional. The robust construction and quality materials used instil confidence in its durability. The design is not only sturdy but also practical, with a convenient hose reel, telescopic handle, and large wheels for easy manoeuvrability. These features make it a joy to use, even for extended cleaning sessions.
Best thing that this comes with hose wheel which make it easier to sort after use. Noise levels are relatively low compared to other pressure washers in its class. This doesn’t come with car and home kit but I can still use my old K5 car and home kit with this K7. Overall a great machine for those looking for a powerful pressure washer.
This is easily the most powerful Karcher heavy duty pressure washer I have used, it can be ordered with accessories or if you have a previous model they will fit . It needs to be put together but the instructions are easy to follow. The large wheels make this quite easy to move around ideal for patios, decking and washing the car.
It has an adjustable nozzle narrow spray for use on stubborn stains and wheels, where as the wide nozzle is great for a general clean. There is a soap foam container great for washing cars.
Quality pressure washer as I have come to expect from Karcher.
I just pressure washed my patio and garden path in about half the time it took with my old machine. And it has done a better job. The twirly thing is particularly effective. I love that I can clean up to the edge of my patio slabs without sending the pea shingle from around the house all over the place. And I love that it is quieter so I don’t feel quite as guilty for disturbing the neighbours.
Definitely worth 5 stars, but there are a couple of points to be aware of about the app and the instruction book. The instruction book is thin and poorly laid out. The diagram of parts is on page 2, and the key naming the parts is on page 9, which I find very irritating. The phone app seems to be in lieu of a decent manual and to follow it’s step by step instructions you need to have your phone in your hand as you set up or change the settings. When I do anything with a pressure washer there is usually water everywhere and my hands are wet; not the environment I want to expose my phone to. However, having been through all of that I find that it is actually pretty intuitive to use, and would have been much simpler if I had just abandoned the phone app after registering.
You need the app to register the product, but after that it seems to be information only. As app and pressure washer connect by blue tooth I had wondered if the app affected the settings in any way; it doesn’t, so from now on my phone can stay in the house while I’m pressure washing.
Overall I’m really impressed with it. Doing the back garden used to be an exhausting days work. Now its 2 hours including cleaning up and putting away, and its a piece of cake.
