 I'm Happy with it... |

I have a large ( +1000 square foot) deck that requires regular restaining.
Using my gas powered pressure washer works fine , but it's heavy and bringing it up on the deck ( six steps ) requires more effort than I like . Also the first time each season , after sitting for months , it's
hard to start. My wife could never manage to start it.
This electric unit does a good job of general cleaning and has enough power with the "jet" wand to remove the stain to bare wood. A little slower than the gas powered PW, but better control and doesn't damage the wood. My wife can use it and she never felt comfortable with the more powerful gas unit.
The cord length and hose length combo is sufficient to reach all corners of the 40 foot long deck without changing the supply hose or changing outlets.
We used it for about 6 hours and never had any problem with the electric cutting in and out as some have mentioned. It started and stopped just like I would like it to , and was much more convenient than starting and stopping a gas powered unit every time I had to apply new cleaner to an area.
The only complaint I have is the bottom of the hose holder ( a snap in )
will pop off. I just put a small piece of duct tape in the right place and it's fine now ( I just LOVE Duct Tape ).
Overall I'm happy with the unit and would recommend it. |

| I have used this power washer for several weeks now and I tested it for long and short intervals of operation. It is a reconditioned unit and I had concerns with the 30 day warranty but it has performed perfectly. The unit arrived in excellent condition and I could barely tell the difference from a brand new one. I am very happy with the unit and don't forget the savings :-). |

Looks brand new, worked great, free shipping. Buy it.
I have already washed everything in my shed plus i stripped a 20 x 30 deck. I ran it for extended time in an 85 degree day (30 minutes continuous) with no problems.
It does not like long extension cords (which i know is my fault not the pressure washer). If the voltage sags too much the unit will shut off to protect itself. At first I thought it was defective, but it was not.
Also, the plug end of the unit has a GFI built on which is bulky and does not fit in an exterior outlet with a rain cap. You will need to buy a short (2ft) HD extension. I used a 40ft extension and it gave me some problems as described above.
This is a great deal, grab it while you can. |
Great Washer - bad service

The Pressure washer itself is great. Looks like a new unit and performs very well. The variable pressure wand is really nice when you need to use a little less pressure, or if you need quite a bit of pressure, or anything in between. The second wand is for high pressure needs and from what I saw, it really is quite a bit more pressure than the variable wand.
The only problem I had was when the washer arrived, the trigger gun was missing from the box. Apparently, the manufacturer has had a problem with this as CPO Karcher said they have had a few of these missing in the original shipment. They ordered me a replacement Trigger Gun from Karcher. After waiting for it 3 days, I called and found out it could be 2 weeks or more to get the replacement gun. I threatened to send the unit back and they offered to send me an entire replacement washer. The manager said it would come to me overnight, but it took 5 days to get it.
The replacement trigger gun finally showed up over 3 weeks after I received the original washer. Seems to me like customer service is not a strong suit of Karcher's. |
All that was advertised

| I have had this for about a month now and it works great. I bought this Karchner electric washer to replace a Campbell Hausfeld gas washer that died. This washer is sooooooo much better than the gas one. The CH gas model was more powerful but I didn't need that power anyway. So far I have cleaned the brick/slate walkway and refinished my deck. In both instances the Karchner performed admirably. I highly recommend this unit to Joe Homeowner for common cleaning tasks. Next up for me is to clean the siding. |
