Kärcher K 3 Home AC Pressure Washer

This has a variable nozzle and built in shampoo feed (you put it in a built-in tank) so no messing about with buckets of soapy water. Just a flick of the wrist to go from soap to power jet of clean water. Also used it on patio's and paths. Not heavy duty but great for a two car family with a drive (that also needs a wash)

Makes washing down garden and patio easy and quick. Easy to use

Excellent power washer in a small package. Love the extra attachments

This jetwash is perfect for general home use. When it arrived I started to worrie as the size of the K3. Small box, Slim, not heavy at all, so I hoped it will be strog enought to clean up my stone patio. What a suprise! The jetwash gives you great power as it says around max 12bar. The 1600w power gives you more than enough to clean objects, wash your car properly, and clean your patio rapidly. Top tip:Connect the water hose to main water supply (i did put it to washing machine water supply) to give the machine full water support.Pros:- Slim and easy to carry- Power is enough for general Home use- 1L patio cleaner supplied in a box, built in tub for your cleaning material, enough to clean around 20m2-Easy to operate and assembleCons:- You need to buy water hose and conncetors seperately- A little bit noisy, but thats obvious.Highly recommended for anyone who wants to clean their garden items, stonework, wooden patio, or a car or actually anything with high pressure.

Ordered this a while ago and only just had the chance to use it.Wow, it usually takes me a good 90 minutes to clean my patio with my old jet washer, but this is a game changer. No more than 20 minutes to it all. Great results, a lot easier and I wasn't drenched like I usually am from the spray.

The media could not be loaded. I normally hire a industrial pressure washer for a weekend to clean the large amount of concrete driveway and paths around my house. But this year a boat purchase made me decide to invest on a small portable pressure washer. This one was duly ordered and did not in any way disappointIt rapidly went through the grime on the drive, ( see video), Not as fast as a commercial one but with significant less back splatter and overspray into neighbouring gardens. Very impressed Tbh it’s easy to carry around and if anything the light weight is perhaps a slight drawback as the unit is prone to topple over when the hose comes tight. The hose is perhaps another bit of a niggle as it seems a bit inflexible and prone to kinking.All in all very happy with the cleaning performance and value for money. Longevity we will see 👍

And guess what. It stopped working. There's a good water supply and the motor is now continuously on, it should only come on when you press the handle for water. To be fair I'm now editing this rating, Karcher have excellent customer service the helped me fix it and was willing to collect it and fix it for me. Thank You

The media could not be loaded. I live in an area where it rains endlessly, I have Sandstone paving that should normally be silver/blue but end up green as per the pictures quite often!I have to jet wash the area clean 3 or 4 times a year to remove grime you can see as per the pictures. For the last two and a bit years I had a nilfisk jet wash which u fortunately went to Jetwash heaven not long ago and was outside of its warranty so I picked up this Karcher kit on the advice of my neighbour.The GoodThe kit comes in a neatly packed box that belies the amount of bits and acessories you get included.The build is a very chunky and robust feeling plastic affair with no visible metal components. It clunk clicks satisfyingly together in a reassuring way.The Jetwash has a cleaner/additive container tank at the bottom where you can insert additional products to help you clean, Ive found this really useful and a lot better than having a bottle stuck to the end of the lance as per some of the competition.Operation is easy enough, a simple twist power switch and away you go.One of the best features for me is the length of the lance included, it's super long which means when doing pavements I am not arching my back as I have done in the past to get the lance end to just above the paving slabs. If doing a sizeable patch of paving this really helps reduce back pain a huge amount.Power output is solid. You can see the difference in the photos and video. It removes grime muck and mulch, restoring the original colour just fine.Operating noise is similar to other jet washers I have had. Ultimately no one jet washes at 6am so you don't really have to worry about the neighbours, that said it's not like an aircraft is landing in your garden either!To stow away after use is easy enough, clunk click the lance down, twist remove or pop off the connections and away it goes.The could be betterThe instruction manual for putting the unit together is not overtly obvious, it's actually a pictogram with not that much information on it. I had to resort to photos of the product on the website to double check I had the right screws and parts in the right places. That said it still took less than fifteen minutes but seemed a little faff.Power output is good, but I couldn't help but feel the previous Nilfisk I had was a smidgeon more powerful, it seemed to remove the filth on the paving with a few less passes of the lance. I could be being nostalgic though! It's powerful enough for the jobs of paving and cleaning the cars which is all I have used, or need it for.Overall its an excellent Jetwash so far. It's chunky yellow build feels like it won't let me down, I like the additional tank and I love the long length lance thats already been a big bonus. The instructions could be me being inept at putting equipment together, it's probably akin to set of lego instructions and I was having a bad day!Overall 4 Stars.
