This is a great pressure washer for home use. It fits the need. Compact for storage. I couldn't ask for anything more out of an electric pressure washer.


1 out of 5 stars Piece of junk - fails after little use   March 7, 2008

I first purchased this unit to clean my deck. It took an incredibly long time as I had to hold the nozzle about 3 inches from surface to get to bare wood. That was fine, as it did clean the deck. However, after 2 days of cleaning the deck and very litle use thereafter it developed a severe leak from somewhere inside near the cleaning hose outlet. Of course this is inaccessible for the homeowner. I sent it back to Karcher under their Rapid Exchange program and they sent me a refurbished similar but lesser model, the K3.86, saying they had none of mine and I would have to wait. br /This bothered me, but it was close enough that I did not bother to hassle with exchanging again. br /It was barely used again until the following year, when I took it out to clean off some siding. I tried to fire it up, it turned on briefly and then died. Nothing I could do would make it work. Now it is 2+ years old, out of warranty, and I am SOL. There is one service center for their electric washers, but they are so heavy that it would be ridiculous to ship it for repair. I would end up paying the purchase price over again for shipping and service. br /I haven't even bothered to call the company, it took so long to get satisfaction the first time that I can't be bothered wasting my time again. As evidenced by most of the reviews here these products are clearly unreliable and poorly made and the company does not stand behind them. Those that have them still working are fortunate, they are the exception, not the rule. They will likely fail eventually. br /I purchased this electric model because they got good reviews for performance in Cons**er R*ports, and I did not want to hassle with an internal combustion model. Clearly they had no way to test longevity. I think I'll just rent a gas model when I need it. too bad, it would have been a nice tool to have around the house.

I bought one a little over a year ago. It failed within 9 months, and the manufacturer had to send me 4 different "rebuilt" units before I got one that was OK. Now, past the 12-month warranty, it has failed again. Karcher will only repair these at one shop in Illinois. There is no local service. It's very heavy and the shipping costs are enormous. br / br /Never again will I buy a Karcher product. I have learned my lesson!

I bought the model just below this one from a big box store. After about five hours of use the gaskets in the pump blew out. Luckily it was still under warranty (barely), but I expect the replacement will last about as long. If I had known I would only get 10hrs of use out the piece of junk I would never I purchased it, but would have rented a professional one from time to time.

The price is right, right? Wrong - you will pay later, and dearly. My unit cost about $160. Cracked the nozzle tip - no problem I have seen numerous replacement nozzles - wrong, I have to replace the whole Vario wand attachment - cost $50 plus $17 S H - this after light use occasionally for just over a year (out of warranty). Three of these and I will have bought a new unit (for a cheap plastic nozzle insert the size of a quarter). Plus the pressure hose and inlet hose fittings are cheap and nasty - you are better off buying a more expensive unit (ever wonder why these seem like such a good deal when all others around seem so expensive). You get what you pay for, very dissapointing from a company I had a high opinion of.
