“Motor started smoking. ”
Written on: 05/07/2020 by Unhappycustomer9988 (1 review written)
I bought the K2 about 5 yrs ago. Only used it about 6 times to wash a car. Its been stored after being drained of water for 2 yrs indoors. Went to use it today to wash the oath at the new house and it lasted 5mins. Started smoking and nearly caught fire. The total operating time has been 90mins. I've just googled and found I'm not along. These things just be made for chocolate as they seem to melt very easily… Read Full Review

“Karcher K2 not up to the mark”
Written on: 25/04/2020 by KaileyKincaid (1 review written)
My K2 pressure washer died after only a total usage of around 15 hours. On inspection, I discovered that the brushes on the motor had worn down at such a rapid rate that they had shorted the motor's commutator resulting in catastrophic damage. In my humble opinion, those brushes were vastly inferior and the design of the brush holders that allowed the brushes to wear to destruction, poor. So much for German engineering! The cheapest replacement motor costs £45, which accounts for more than 50%… 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

“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

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

Starfire3's Comment
Written on: 25/04/2020
Mine stopped dead after a total of 15 hours work. Checked motor and the commutator had lost 3 segments due to cheap and nasty brushes wearing out with no protective stops to prevent them from shorting on the commutator.
Karcher K2 nothing but a load of cheap tat. Never again.
