A few weeks ago I was questioned by a friend if I knew where she could get a excellent pressure washer for cleaning her greenhouse. I told her that recently it would seem Karcher are the word on the street when it comes to jet washes and pressure washers.
But let’s investigate further. It would seem that Karcher have really gone to town with advertising over the past year. I don’t reckon I’ve seen a football game on TV all season with out seeing a Karcher advert on a bill board at the side of the pitch. Not to meantion there huge marketing ploy to clean Mount Rushmore in the USA. I bet that job took a large amount of pressure washing equipment.
My local town counsel also use high pressure washers to remove graffiti and for use as gutter cleaners. I’ll bet you can guess which name is on there huge yellow machines. They’re all Karcher pressure washers!
Next Karcher have been touting recently that they’re going to be cleaning nelsons column with there high power pressure washers. Karcher say each machine used to clean the column is using a 3 high pressure extension hoses at over 60 metres in length. I reckon that’s quite a feet. As anyone who uses pressure washers recently will know. The long high pressure hose you have the more bars in pressure you lose. (Pressure is measured in bars, with lighter cleaning jobs such as a dirty car needing around 100 bar, while tougher and harder to reach jobs like the roof needing at least 120 bar. )
On of the fantastic things about Karcher, is there innovation. I was talking to on of there reps a few months back and they have a fantastic small thought on the horizon. Why pay all that postage and package for 10 litres of liquid detergent. Karcher have a better thought. Freeze dry the detergent.
Hot water pressure washers clean quicker and more thoroughly using significantly less both water and chemicals, while. Cold water pressure washers have power to quickly remove grime, dirt, debris, stripping paint, rust, mildew and other buildups in numerous residential and commercial applications. Generally, but, the more pressure the machine delivers, the more power it has to lift dirt.
Hot water pressure washers are ideal for cleaning heavy equipment such as pumps, gearboxes, turbine blades and dams in hydroelectric plants If you want to wash large decks and clean siding a Karcher will suit you fantastic.
What about reliability? Expert reviews emphasize that the quality of the pump is the most vital factor in how long you can expect a pressure washer to last, with motor or engine quality secondary. Karcher pumps and motors really do last for ever. So I wouldn’t worry about that.
There are so many pressure washer models that there’s small consensus among reviews. But I’m not fence sitting. I’m pro Karcher and proud. I recommend you get one as soon as you can.

“Minor problems” By S. Rice (Springfield, Mo.) I borrowed a Karcher powered pressure washer from a friend to clean the siding on my house. I thought it was fantastic. After cleaning the siding I washed my vehicles, cleaned my concrete driveway and landscaping stone around my house. I ordered my own Karcher 2,600 PSI, Honda powered washer. When it arrived I noticed the inside of the cardboard box had oil soaked into it. I also noticed the machine itself had a lot of oil on it. I filled it with oil and gas per instructions in the owners manual and attempted to start the washer. It would not start. Having some mechanical knowledge, I inspected the air filter and observed it was soaked with oil. I removed the spark plug and noticed it had oil on it, so I pulled the starter rope to rotate the engine and noticed oil come out of the crankcase. I cleaned the spark plug and left the oil soaked air filter and cover off the washer. The washer started on the second pull. It seemed to operate fine, but, I will have to buy a new air filter. I don’t believe the problems I encountered are a manufacturing problem, but a shipping problem. I have yet to use my washer but after the experience I had with my frineds Karcher washer I feel it will be a excellent buy.
“Beware: Packaging was dreadful for a 0 investment” By Kim (NJ, USA) We have only had our Karcher pressure washer for a few days so I will update on the machines performance after a longer period of time. But, buyers should be aware that the machine comes in a cardboard box – that’s it…. no packaging materials, no bubble wrap – no protection whatsoever. The box was very beat up when it arrived. It’s a heavy machine to be shipped in a simple box. We were lucky that nothing was broken.
So far we are impressed with it’s cleaning ability. We are using it on a concrete pool deck and patio furniture. More comments on durability and performance to follow after a longer ownership timeframe.
