 Questionable build quality May 19, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have owned one of these for 18 months and was generally pleased with its performance - easy to use, long hose, powerful adjustable jet, what more could you want?!?
Well something that lasts would be nice...like others, I have found that the plastic parts become brittle and break
It started with the hose holder and issues with the lance, but the real downer is a plastic inlet pipe that split open during use. Its the part you attach the hose to and feeds into the pump that I have to say looks tough as nails encased in metal parts...not much good though if your water has escaped first!!
So a good product with limited service life at a relatively high price means I feel generous giving it 3 stars

we are having honda car dealership in india in mumbai.we have purchased almost 5 high pressure washing m/c.from your esteemed dealer in mumbai.machines purchased just 2.5 years back.sorry to say that we have not used any of the m/c satisfactorily for a single day of purchse.
when ever we use to contact local dealer very rarely the technician has visited on the same day to resolve the problem.up to certain extend the dealer has offered warranty.
but letter on the failure days of m/c increased rather than working.this has affected on our customer satisfaction lot.
we called dealer to resolve the problem the dealer said your m/c choice was wrong.now i cant do any thing.
fortunately we happen to meet your service manager and zonal manager in mumbai. they assured us on proper repair or by back with proper required m/c.this has been continued for a month.
till date the m/c are unrepaired and nobody bothers about the service.
on the contrary when i happen to talk the seniopr of service manager he said dont talk to us talk to the dealer from whom you have purchased the machines.
DO YOU THINK SOME ONE SHOULD BY THIS MACHINE WITH SUCH A PATHETIC SERVICE.
 faulty trigger July 24, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
After using the machine once only for washing patio and slab path. the plastic trigger unit cracked allowing the high pressure hose to pull out of gun drenching me and rendering the machine useless. I complained to Karcher they replied machine is out of warranty but you can purchase a new part for 47.48. They also said the trigger lance is a wear and tear part, but i reckon it should last longer than one year.If i have to buy a new part everytime i use it i may as well get a contractor to clean up for me reckon it might be cheaper. I do not think this machine is of durable quality. Dont expect any good will or compassion from this company
Faulty trigger gun May 22, 2007

I have had to purchase 3 replacement trigger guns for this product due to a design weakness. Despite very little usage, a split in the plastic (brittle and weak) keeps recurring where the hose connects to the trigger gun. Karcher don't seem interested. Why should they be - I'm paying them a small fortune for replacement trigger guns. I won't be buying anymore Karcher products - there are universal trigger guns out there that seem to be far more robust. The washer itself might be ok but these Karcher domestic washers are a poor buy if the trigger gun consistantly fails.
 The best one I've ever owned May 18, 2007

I brought my first Karcher pressure washer in Germany in 1992 and it lasted nearly 10 years and was excellent. Then I made the mistake of replacing it with one of the cheaper Karcher washers, which just lacked the necessary pressure to thoroughly clean everything. I got rid of it and brought a K 6.85M and normal service was resumed. If you want a decent pressure washer, with plenty of power, this is the one to buy. I have purchased most of the various accessories over the years and some are better than others. Personally, I think the extension lance, rotary brush and the patio washer are the best. Dilute the cleaning fluid 50/50 with water and it works just as well. Enjoy!
