Bought a couple of weeks ago, washed the car twice seemed OK, went to clean my decking off and it's lost pressure after 20mins of hard use. Total rubbish! My old cheaper one lasted 3 years at least. I'll never by another from them… Read Full Review

“rubbish Karcher 2.94”
Written on: 11/04/2016
I brought a Karcher 2.94 pressure washer and the whole experience has turned out bad. The unit only lasted 9 hours use and then it will not go onto full power. Read lots of reviews on the internet and most are negative. Will not buy a Karcher pressure washer again… Read Full Review

Purchased the washer two years ago but have hardly used it due to fact it kept cutting out.After looking on forums decided that it could need new capacitor which I duly got.Fitted new genuine karcher one and the washer worked for two minutes then cut out again.I bet I havnt used item more than a dozen times if that, very disappointed in product as it had a very good name… Read Full Review

“Karcher k214.0 Worked once and burned out.Third and last.”
Written on: 27/04/2015 by coly (2 reviews written)
Third Karcher died after one use. Cleaned patio one summer and next year smoked and burned when switched on. The previous two lasted a bit longer but mot much. I will never buy this make again. They are quite cheap now but obviously this reflects on the quality and I would guess they cannot be easily repaired. Very disappointing for supposed German quality. I will buy another make in the hope that it lasts longer than one wash. At this rate I may as well pay someone to come and do it… Read Full Review

“Fantastic plastic. a review by Rickam”
Written on: 24/07/2014 by Edithf290 (1 review written)
In my case I have had three different K2 units die in the same way. The black plastic housing cracks and the unit pulses, loses power and leaks. When the K2 is running, it works quite well. After conducting an autopsy on each, I would say that the technology looks pretty good, but Karcher should provide service parts for this device (they don't), and at a reasonable cost. All the units I have owned have not lasted very long at all in terms of hours, or days from purchase. It may be… Read Full Review

“Not one of my better purchases”
Written on: 04/11/2013
I have heard much about Karcher products over recent years. Friends of mine wax lyrically about how much easier cleaning jobs of all types around the home become with one of these devices. Some of the jobs they describe as being made easier do strike me as being those which could quite easily be ignored in most cases. Does one necessarily need to constantly clean a concrete drive ? Nevertheless I decided to take the plunge and spent over a hundred pounds on this particular model, the… Read Full Review

“must of got LUCKY!”
Written on: 03/07/2013
Mine is getting on 10 years old and is only now showing signs of starting to die! it has had a very well used life, from car cleaning, decking and fence cleaning, fleet of vans at work, complete 50m sq. workshop floor (and this was using a syphon pipe from a water tub and sucking it up, which these are not meant to do!)I only see bad reports of these but this one has been great. I will be buying another one at the weekend to replace it. You have to follow the storage instructions and make sure… Read Full Review

“Poor quality with a very short life span”
Written on: 06/05/2013
Seems a common fault, only used a dozen times to clean a small patio, oil leaking from the casing, loss of pressure and then it burns itself out! Rubbish, would have expected a lot more from a reputed German brand!… Read Full Review

It was used as soon as it was received and I found it easy to use and very efficient in cleaning my patio. The high pressure pipe took a little time to lose its coils having been like that when dispatched, and I had to be careful it did not kink.Apart from that it was very satisfactory and I would recommend it.

“Unreliable, poor quality materials”
Written on: 17/03/2013
My second Karcher 2.94 and just as unreliable as the first one which worked a coupl of times then began to overheat if used more than a couple of times. The replacement has been used twice and now broken down with burning smell from motor. Beware-if you keep your karcher jet washer in the shed they'll say that frost invalidates the warranty. Nilfisk next time who use metal rather than plastic pump… Read Full Review

“Great performer but alas short life span”
Written on: 24/08/2012
Excellent performance as it really does do what it says will do. Because itnisnsoneffective a cleaner it is used infrequently (max 4 times a year) to clean the patio so my machine is relatively new in terms of use. On the second outing the wheel broke off. And now I am experiencing a leakage of oil/grease lubricant which is marking the patio. There is no visible ( or internet user help) means of fixing this so looks like, still in its infancy, it is fit only for the bin. Might be cheaper to… Read Full Review

“Poor Quality”
Written on: 18/04/2012 by Mundy56 (3 reviews written)
I bought this power washers because of the name, and at first it was great. I noticed after a few uses that the pressure had dropped quite a bit and upon investigation I could see water leaking from inside the unit. I looked inside and could see water coming out of the actual pump casing!!! Then it is made of plastic but still I never expected this for the money. The pump is very powerful but the plastic casing just wasn't up to scratch. I got my money back and bought a bosch aquatak 1250 and… Read Full Review

“Motor Fan Failure”
Written on: 15/04/2012
Used three times on paths and drive ways. Just like other reviews, smelt burnt plastic. Turned of and pulled apart and the motor fan had melted off the shaft and chewed into the cowling. Going to try a fix that may work. Maybe ok for people who want to run for a few minutes at a time. Definetly no good for domestic around the house type cleaning… Read Full Review

“Piece of junk.”
Written on: 02/03/2012 by wiggwamm (1 review written)
I bought one of these DIY power washers, it was great at the start, then after a few uses it lost pressure. I noticed water spraying out from the inside, so I took the cover off and used it without the cover, there was water spraying everywhere. I tried to seal the plastic pump body with an industrial sealant/adhesive, but the water kept finding new places to spray out from. I gave up in the end. The pump is fairly powerful but the cheap plastic body can't cope with the pressure. My brother… Read Full Review

Exactly the same happened to mine.
I purchased the name more than goods, I have purchased a better made cheaper washer.

Why did you feel the need to try and DIY a fix on this - aren't they guaranteed for 2 years?

Hi, K2's come with a 2 year guarantee - didn't you just send them back and get another one?
