Customer Reviews

Great when it works
Karcher makes a good product at least in the sense that it does perform as advertized when you first use it. The Honda motor is excellent and the tool generally performs very well. My problem with this machine started in year three (conveniently after the two year warranty expired) and is a result of a sticky "unloader valve". This is a critical piece that protects the pump but can stick and essentially disable the pump. Once it starts to malfunction you have no choice but to take the whole machine to a Karcher certified repair center (hassle and $$$). The company provides no information on service or preventive maintenance for this valve in it's owners manual. Indeed, the unloader valve is never even mentioned in the troubleshooting section although this is a common problem with all pressure washers. You cannot purchase a replacement unloader valve from Karcher, they won't sell you one.

So, three years into ownership I have a great Honda motor with about 2 or 3 hours of use on a completely worthless pressure washer unless I fork over another $150 for service center installation of a $25 valve or be told that I need an entirely new pump which would cost more to put in than a new pressure washer once labor is included.

The problem with these things is that there are aluminum parts internally that corrode. They corrode faster in winter etc but the bottom line is that Karcher gives almost no preventive maintenance instructions for the pump itself. I always emptied it of water and left it in the barn. The service people tell me that they advise customers to take these pressure washers into the heated area of the house in the winter!!!

Bottom line: it works well when it works and it has some common problems that are very expensive to have repaired. I would not mind replacing a $25 valve myself but the company won't even sell these to the customer so in the end this is a very expensive short lived product.

Short time user
I bought the Karcher because I felt it was a winning combination of Honda and Karcher.
I bought it late in the year and only used it once before winter, I stored the unit in the celler.
I took it out in the spring and used it for about two hours all was fine, great unit.
I took it out about a month later and found no pressure.Then the fun began.I went back and forth with Karcher and ended up sending the pump back to the factory. By the time I got it back I could only try it to see if it worked, it seemed fine.( there was no charge because the bolt inside the pump had fallen out and been eaten by the pump)
The story goes on, I just took it out this year and it worked well for 20 min. and then it started pulsating on and off, I tried changing nozzels, looking for some sort of carb adjustment (nope, not allowed)_I am now ready to put this $400 unit at the street and hope someone will take it. I will never by Karcher again.This unit is now 2 years old and if I try too get it fixed it will cost me another $150-$200 probanly not going to do this.I would hope Karcher would make this right.

Supreme Power
As a point of disclosure I did not purchase my power washer from Amazon. Actually I didn't buy mine at all! I cashed-in some hotel points for the unit. Sweet.

The Karcher power washer is the gold standard when it comes to this type of device. The unit arrived via UPS LTL Freight on a small-ish pallet. When I got home that evening I tore into the box to free the beast. Almost immediately I was impressed. The unit was VERY well packed and protected in its cardboard sarcophagus. Obviously they give thought and care as to the packing.

Only slight assembly was required which was a snap... just the legs, handle, hose and gun needed assembly. With a splash of gas and some engine oil (furnished in the box) I was ready for some power washin' fun!

Being the kind of guy that I am I needed to experiment with EACH nozzle to see what their capabilities are. The included pamphlet describes the nozzles accurately.

The unit has extreme power, is fairly quiet and very stable when it's running.

Start-up and shut down are easy and the hose and gun store nicely on the unit.

Overall I give this supremely high marks. An excellent machine even if you have to pay for it... ;)
