Not cheap and you might need to buy some tap attachments but the results are stunning.
Bought initially to clean a patio but now gives the car a professional treatment when required.
One major fault
The high pressure connector at the rear is a flimsy plastic housing that after it gave way, I googled and saw the metal elbow joint required. Probably if in warranty they would have fixed, £15 delivered.
Stunning results, pictures are of the second patio I've cleaned. If it was sunny, it would look even better. No wonder there's Reddit microsites dedicated to power-washing.
Be very careful nothing fleshy comes near the water.
The hooded attachment is sooo useful to avoid spraying the dirt everywhere.
Three listings for Karchers invariably say 420 litres per minute, it's per hour so less on your water bill !!
The variable power makes it simple the both protect your car paintwork, but then boost it for the alloys etc. The trick for a lovely streak-free result, is to have some simple microfibre cloths to dry it, especially if in the sun.
My neighbour was dumbfounded at the difference, it scythes through moss and years old mud in seconds. Rips out weeds and isn't strenuous in the slightest.
If you've kids and it's sunny, point out skywards for a rainbow too !! 🌈
In addition then to the unit, I bought a foam-gun, tap attachments, hose, waterproof electrical extension, RCD plug, elbow joint (!), wheel brush, syphon attachment, safety specs to avoid stone chips flying into my eyes.
If your local hand wash guys will charge between £10 and £20 then it won't be long before it's paid back the cost, even quicker if you've a path, patio, home stonework etc to avoid getting a contractor in for.
For the winter, I've either brought it indoors or used the syphon gizzmo to suck some antifreeze into it's innards to avoid frost damage.
A joy to use.
