Avoid at any cost!!!

Review by David C. Sit, 2010-08-24

I owned a 12-year old Karcher 1800 psi power washer that worked magnificently until last year. It was a well-constructed and sturdy machine that took on all sorts of jobs with competence and reliability. After it finally died, I went ahead and bought this Karcher model, thinking that it would be as well-built as my old one since it bears the same brand name. Boy, was I wrong!

First of all, this model was cheaply made. Very light weight, all the hose connections seemed to wiggle. I turned the on/off switch and the knob literally broke off from the switch. I called the 800 number and they sent a replacement. The replacement worked, albeit very loudly, for about 20 minutes and quit. Although the motor was still running, no water was coming out. I let it cool off for an hour and tried again with the same result.

When it did work, for those 20 minutes it worked fairly well. But this poorly designed and made model is one to avoid.

Complete Junk

Review by Kaye Flanagan, 2010-06-12

If I could give this product minus stars I would. We bought a Karcher pressure washer from Lowes a couple of years ago. We used it probably 3 times. Just as it was out of warranty, it quit completely. We needed a washer and bought a more expensive Karcher from Costco. Costco usually doesn't sell junk. We used it a couple of times last year. Today we started using it and it totally quit again. Karcher products are for you if you want something disposable that you don't have to worry about storing! If I divide the cost by number of uses, it adds up to about $50 a use. I could rent one and pay less. I will never buy another Karcher product.

I hate this product

Review by Susan T. Melville, 2010-05-11

I bought a Karcher 2.26 pressure washer 3 years ago. Have used it 3 times and every time had to wrestle to get it going and keep it going, which took longer than the job. Karcher "support services" weren't any help. I would give it -10 stars if that was an option.

Not Reliable

Review by Gareth Howell, 2010-05-10

It broke after 5 or 6 uses. Unfortunately these uses were spaced a few years apart, so it was outside the warranty. I wouldn't recommend this item.

Junk, Junk, Junk

Review by R. Albritton, 2010-05-06

Originally I purchased a K 3.86, After less than 15 hours it started "surging", on and off and very little pressure. Like an idiot I purchased the K 2.26M (this was going to be better). After less than 5 hours of operation it started "surging" on and off, very little pressure. I even disassembled the first unit, down to the pistons, no obvious problems. Put it back together and it does the same thing. Time to end my misery, throw them in the garbage and buy a pressure washer that works. Don't feel like wasting another hour to find a problem that was put there by China. What was I thinking anyway?
