sorted by... are...you...ok...sir?
I got mine for £155 using TRADEPRO and cashback a few months back...be careful when using this...it is powerful enough to fetch paint off cars...use the right lance and gentle pressure....also when storing it...take the hose adaptor off on unit which is screwed on....break this and the water pipe....your karcher is finished ....unless you pay for it to be repaired....i have washed my cars...bikes...and neighbours car in a few minutes....with great results ....also this karcher makes short work of cleaning years of grime off concrete...brickwork....slabs...fencing etc...impressive machine and worth the money.
Never....been...better...are ...you ....ok ...sir?
Local Kärcher dealer took it for repair - came back in exactly same (broken) condition
Contacted Kärcher UK who collected it and repaired it - worked OK for less than an hour
5 year warranty is worthless. One of the most disappointing product and customer service experiences of my life.
Sorry, did you say karcher is impressive. karcher powerwashers are rubbish, everyone knows that. Cheap plastic poorly made junk. Pump mad of alloy and plastic lol. Just wait until winter and try it next year, also bet it lasts a year. (edited)
I’ve had mine for 4 years and it’s still going strong.
You clearly know nothing. They are terrible. They sell millions because they are cheap. They are poorly made and don't last. Some people say theirs has lasted 4 years but then you find out they use it one every month or 6 months lol.
I've had Karcher ones, nilfisk but they are rubbish. Poor flow rate (litres per second).
Karcher lie about the bar and flow rate. Pumps are made from cheap alloy with a plastic housing, which is why the eventually leak. Most people wont notice but you'll lose pressure. The pumps are rated to last 50 hours, enough for the warranty. Karchers cant be run dry with out water, sound like a jetfighter, and can't do much more than an hour at at a time without overheating. They promise big warranties but don't honour them.
I ended getting a Kranzle. Used by professionals. No trade person uses a Karcher. Forged brass pump, pistons made from ceramic, etc. Pumps is built to last 1000s of hours. They are built like a tank, can be run for hours (1 day I ran mine for 12 hours, cleaning 4 cars, driveway, patio, etc. You defo cant do that with a Karcher, I know), can be run dry, every part can be replaced if needed. Kranzle's are more expensive but the quality difference to Kranzle. Key parts have a 10 year warranty. However, they now do cheaper ones at £300 - yes, they are defo worth the extra. Karcher = trabant, Kranzle =Porsche/merc/bmw/audi/bentley
and no i am not a rep for any company, just learnt the hard way. Buy cheap, buy twice. (edited)
Sadly they do have a point though, the cheaper versions aren’t built like they used to be.
Agree but you need to look past the figures and see the reviews and length of time the cheap ones last, plastic motors just don’t last. Theses people who have failures just wont buy again.
Trust me... Send any documents and they'll accept you
Self employed here. I have no company adress, just a home one, and no checkatrade profile (or similar). Got a trade account pretty easily.
Nilfisk e160
Thanks . Got it now.
Usual HUKD waffle rubbishing a product with no substance.
I've had this pressure washer since March 2018 used it for a whole host of jobs some lasting 2hrs+, no issues whatsoever.
Ignore that person who keeps slating karcher. He shows up every time promoting Kranzle.
He makes a rude derogatory comment and then when you prove him wrong, he disappears. (edited)
I think its a retailer specific bundle version of said model, so they don't have to price match.
To my knowledge it's a generation before the K5.
I'm just about to buy a K5 Premium but from the Karcher outlet store. £250 with a 12 month warranty.
My friend gave me his barcode. Saved me tons of money
You need two proofs of being trader like company house id and checktrade profile. Not everyone can get it.
Doesn’t look like there isn’t any... but for the price this is a great machine...
Yeah...thats why they've sold millions all over the world....are you a rep for nilfisk lol
I have the trade point 10% discount so can pick up a brand new k5 for 250 and k7 for 350.
Maybe so,but mine seems sturdy enough and long warranty gives me peace of mind.
Like I said....millions of karcher pressure washers have been sold all over the world ...so they can't be that bad.
Please suggest alternative in similar price range
I’ve bought a Karcher K3 from Costco a few years back, it’s got a metal interior pump and has been faultless. I also had K2 for many years (very noisy but good!).
I bought a (non Karcher) 10m pressure hose off EBay using a discount code and that has made using it to wash our cars it so easy, I would recommend buying a longer pressure hose 100%.
As folk have said make sure you disconnect water hose to it every time you finish using it and that way the water inside can drain out, so it won’t freeze inside machine in cold weather conditions.
I also agree with others though, Nilfisk are good value as they all have metal interior pumps I believe, so if going for a budget pressure washer maybe look at Nilfisk too?
Just my 2 cents using real world examples.....
Same power more or less same unit
Warranty is 3 years not 5 on the K5. And at either £198 or £235 - worth every penny. Already used it to clean 2 patios which have never been cleaned in 11 years and came up like new!
If you buy from Karcher direct you get 36 months plus an extra 12, for the difference.
On the K4 compact a few weeks ago, it was a better deal on the main site with an extra dirt blaster lance.
