The Karcher seems to exude some quality. The high pressure hose works well. Unlike most hose reels, the hose stays connected to the reel whether you wind it or unwind it. The power cord isn’t all that easy to store though. The garden hose connection isn’t the sturdiest part of the unit. Unless you take it easy, it might break off. The customer service of the Karcher is abysmal and most people complain of unnecessary hassles when it comes to dealing with them. The unit itself works well, but the problem is the customer service.

Most such units are made in China. However, this Karcher K 5.85 is made in Germany and the quality does show. The German Pressure Washer is among the first things which you are likely to notice. The large attachment nozzle for the pressure washer is made of brass. When you want to connect the hose, you need to spend a lot of time trying to connect the plastic coupled hose to it. It needs to be made of metal. Only a metal coupling works for these things. The GFI on the cord can be a huge block if you already have a GF on an outdoor outlet, which is quite common nowadays. The GFI on the washer will refuse to set. So you need to remember that this unit is supposed to work on a power outlet which is not activated with GFI. All this safety features are there because it is presumably German. Once you get it to work you’ll realize that it is reasonably quiet and comes with a fair deal of strength. Spend a little extra and get a better attachment. It’ll help you clean much larger areas with greater ease.

Gas Powered Pressure Washer with  Power 3000 PSI

The Power Boss  Gas Powered Pressure Washer gives you a tremendous amount of power, and that too 3000PSI . It may sound strange that Briggs would put a Honda engine on their product, but it is all for the better as Honda makes great small gasoline powered engines. There are no qualms about starting, and it runs well. The sealed pump needs no maintaining at all. A lot of homeowners use pressure washer and most of them don’t change the pump oil as recommended. And this thing about the pump eliminates the trouble completely. The gas tank is huge and can run for ages together.

There is even an on-board detergent tank so you need not worry about spillage. Operating the unit is quite simple and it does everything reasonably well, with some power. You can get yourself a true commercial model, but that would entail a big jump in price.

There is a problem with the instructions. Due to that, the assembly becomes a little bit confusing. That is one area which really needs some fixing on their part. The wheels on the unit are very wobbly . That may be attributed to the axle which makes the unit feel unstable during movement. The accessory tray doesn’t serve the purpose it is supposed to. The hook to keep the high pressure hose secure does not do it. It’s a case of the hose being too stiff and too powerful to stay on the hook. The other tips for the gun should have been ideally given a place right on the unit instead of you having to go some distance if you want to use it.

It is just a case of the unit not having a good design to incorporate everything it provides. It needs to be built better. But the Honda engine goes really well and is one of the best things on this pressure washer. There are no issues about start-up and everything gets fired up in an instant. Fuel efficiency is really good. A lot of people are pleased with the engine, but the same people are complaining about the rather flimsy hardware. A bigger wand would have been better in this device. The four nozzles are stored in the bottom of the wand in a container, but it leads to a tendency to them falling off. The hose too is quite short. There are a few disadvantages with high power gas powered pressure washers.

It is not a bad pressure washer and it easily gets household jobs done. But if you need it for something closer to industrial purposes, it cannot be recommended. It is designed for home use, not industrial. The Honda engine is really good.
