There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My driveway had not been cleaned in at least 12 years, and as it turns out, it's sort of tan and not really concrete gray; it is so clean and bright that it's hard to believe that little unit, about the size of a pull behind vacuum cleaner, did such a fabulous job. Now, you will not get the wide spray of a unit with more PSI, so the size of the water 'beam' to clean off a really dirty concrete driveway is abut the size of a tennis ball, so it will take some time for a long driveway like mine, but watching all that grime come off is sort of fun so I didn't mind it at all.
The fittings are easy to install, and the only leaker was the one between the unit and my old garden hose that I need to replace soon anyway. So far I have only used one wand, not the adjustable pressure one, but the one for dirt, and it works great! The handle/wand is light enough that it takes several hours before you may feel a little fatigue. The tubing for the wand is plenty long enough, as is the unit's cord, even though with my drive I needed an extension cord. I have very high water pressure, and only turned on the spigot about half way, and still had plenty of pressure.
The only thing that the commercial for this doesn't show is the tangled mess you can get if you are not careful. You have the wand and its tubing, the power cord, and the hose, all of which you are dragging around, with the hose being the heaviest since it is full of water while you are dragging it around. I got my power cord and my hose wrapped up around each other at first, but I managed to sort it out and move on quickly. I still need to do the porch, and a brick patio and a carport, but I'm not dreading it as with many big jobs around the house. In my opinion, this little thing has plenty of power, even for really, really, black and dirty concrete.
Update , so July 5th 2019 the motor on this cracked and would run but could not create pressure it would just leak out the bottom. Still for 100.00 bucks I did a lot with it. I’m upgrading to something stronger. This one still would leave a slight discoloration in the stucco but still worked good enough for my needs.
So the power level isn't so great but it isn't rated high either. If you are buying for the first time and expect to get the pressure that you feel from those wands at commercial car wash places, you will be disappointed. On the other hand, this unit operates with virtually no kick and is as easy as a garden hose with a trigger. Unlike noisy gas washers or the experience you expect from using a vacuum cleaner, this compressor only makes noise when you actually pull the trigger. As such, the whole experience is rather friendly. The wand tip with the adjustable dial is really weak and is probably just for soap and washing cars. By the way, this washer does come with an integrated soap dispenser. If you want to blast a sidewalk clean, use the power tip. You'll be stunned at how white your sidewalk really is when you first blast a stripe through the baked on stain from years of sun and residue. Even the power tip is pretty weak so you have to get really close to the concrete. This means you only clean a small width on each pass so this unit will require a really long time to clean large surfaces. In fact, the more powerful of the two tips is still so weak that you might as well keep it on full time and just skip the adjustable tip altogether. You can vary your power by simply standing further away. The tip is so tame that you can water your garden plants very safely with it by standing a few feet away.
The wand and pressure hose are quick connect and so is the end where the water hose is connected. They supply the adapters. The downside is that the mating point between the pistol and wand are not the standard system you see at hardware stores or here in Amazon for a wide array of specialty attachments. You have to buy Karcher stuff. There is a good chance that you will get excited by how many things you can clean with this washer and then want to buy extenders, brooms, gutter gadgets, etc. If so, it is probably worth it to just toss out the supplied pistol and wand and go with a universal system that takes standard 1/4 inch nozzles and accessories. Just remember that your pressure hose is 1/4" and many of the pro pistols are 3/8" inlet.
The cable and accessory management isn't as great as the picture looks. The power cord and hose are tough to tuck away. This is a far cry from the experience I have from consumer vacuum cleaners where every cord and nozzle has a nice home on the base unit. However, save the original box and just throw away the packing foam. That box almost perfectly stores this unit fully assembled with wheels attached, and then the hoses and cords can just be tossed inside along with the manual.
Top reviews from other countries
This unit was easy to assemble, worked right away. The dirt blaster wand covers way more then the stick in the HD device did (kind of with green/blue/red nozzle), literally, you spend 20 minutes where before two hours would be needed
(this is about 200 sqft concrete patio)
Happy I did buy it, even more so because that was Prime day and the unit was on sale
The unit and its box arrived unscratched,
, setup was easy, there were no leaks and hose connector is compatible with Gardena connectors I have on my hoses.
Where they could improve I guess if they could put QR code on the box with assembly video, otherwise you have to find and read it yorself
Anyway , great product, kudos to Kaercher
