Awesome!
I love this pressure washer. It works just like my old (beloved) Karcher 300 series pressure washer, which worked great for over 15 years. You read that right--15 years. This new one seems even sturdier, and some of the new features make it work even better. I use this pressure washer twice and year and it keeps my house looking sparkling clean. And you can't beat the price. You'll spend that amount in one visit from a pro. I think everyone in the world should own one of these, it makes such a big difference to the appearance of your home.

Used once ..next time it wouldn't turn on
Worked great once... next time I plugged it in nothing ..it wouldn't turn on. I have used pressure washers before , I did not run it dry . .and no it was not left to freeze outdoors... tried other house plugs.. tried the reset on the plug.. checked the circuit breaker... couldn't be more disappointed. I have used other not well known brands before that lasted for YEARS.. this is my second Karcher.. The same exact thing happened on one I bought previously I used it 2x then the next year when I plugged it in it would not start and I couldn't return it. Because I bought expensive accessories I bough the second Karcher..now never again. Both times not even a peep out of the machine completely dead.

    Great value and size for residential tasks
    This 1800 psi unit did a very good job on all my residential chores: cleaned aluminum siding, removed moss and grim from sidewalks and patio blocks, cleaned deck and decorative outdoor wood, etc. Though a bit heavy at 30 pounds, the upright carriage allowed easy transport and movement. The length of the extension cord and the hose from the hand gun were adequate. Really liked the the wheel and crank to store the hose for the hand gun.

    Great machine - lots of attachments
    I have only used this one a couple of times since I got it. But I bought it because I had a Karcher washer while I was living in Croatia and used it all the time on the boat. It was great - the wet sand blaster attachment was a life saver when it came to clean boat parts.

    Used the Karcher K.3.690 only one time since purchase, I was surprised and very satisfied with results. I cleaned a concrete area heavily covered with a heavy green mildew that had not been cleaned in years. No detergents were used. Pressure was very good. Unit reasonably quiet and shuts off when not triggering for high pressure washing. Questionable features: Many plastic parts, including connections. Unit tipped over once, so be careful using 25 foot high pressure hose. Unit's wheels are plastic, and tend to bind when wheeling, which may be detrimental to women or the elderly. At 28 pounds, the unit is better suited to hand carry. On my unit, once the trigger assembly is attached to the high pressure hose, it is difficult to get the release button to release the trigger assembly from the hose.

    Exceptional performance---so far
    Bought a gas powered a few years ago (name brand and not cheap).Then it was assumed they were more powerful.Yes they are,but the lack the mobility,and these components (on the gas) break as easily as electric.(yoy can still carve your name in wood with both). This exceeded my expectations of versatility,power and accessories incuded.Karcher is a well known Company in Germany.I registered and they gave me great ideas!Beware there are MANY models in the Karcher line-up.Mine(and most retailers)sell the Household grade,but it is good enough.Also look closely at the "bundle"included.Some do not have the wands,25'reeled hose(quite handy etc.I am happy SO FAR.

    It worked as aspected
    Getting to know how to operate the machine is very important. The instruction were clear. I like the length of the power cord and the hose. We were able to clean some surfaces without the cleaning detergent.Make sure the power cord is plugged into GFCI outlet. the drawback is the drum handle , it jump out very easily. For me the 1800 PSI was enough to clean my drive way and the stucco walls. As long as it keep running I'll be a happy camper.

    SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!
    First, my quals: I'm a retired Marine after 32 years. I'm an auto mechanic, aircraft mechanic meaning I have at least average mech ability. I owned the smallest Karcher (little yellow pig) for years and loved it! I wanted to get more power and convenience and I upgraded (I thought) to this Karcher. I owned this model for a few months, used it 5-6 times for siding, driveway, car wash. You do not get enough increase in power to justify the price increase. The hose reel is a joke, it's a work out to use and winds the hose too small so of course it kinks when un-rolled. Unwinding the hose isn't fun either as with it being on top, it's top heavy and will tip if you try to pull the hose out. Top heavy is a problem while you're using this machine. The hose connection is "inside" the reel so it pulls over easily which of course leads to the breaking of the cheap plastic parts. The water inlet is in the bottom front which causes the hose to pull the pump housing to and fro as the port isn't supported. The high pressure wand is unreliable with the tip having two plastic pieces mated together and only one rubber o ring. The inner piece cracks and then you just have a fancy hose. Overall, if you need PSI you'll save money in the long run to just get a gas operated unit.

    the karcher to the test
    It has true psi power. the connections are easy to get to and its compact design make it very easy to start or stop use in an instance. Ive had the campbell hausfeld and I'll give it a 3 at best. The campbell's psi is much lower output even with the power tip on that is suppost to increase its psi.Plus u save money over the campbell. I use my karcher for drive-thru and inside restaurant cleaning as well. The only con to the electric is a short hose. Upgrade to a higher psi hose with longer length to get around easier and reach more areas. Also, you don't have to worry about someone running over the hose with a car. This washer saves me hundreds every month that I use it. I have a 3100psi gas pressure washer and its such a high cost and bother to lug around. If it does the job for a business it will do it for your home. Hope this review was helpful and don't forget to upgrade your hose.

    Good product for the money
    This is a good power washer at 1800PSI, and all the parts and pieces work as advertised. The only complaint is the on/off switch that gets stuck and must be pulled out to make it actually turn off the motor. I don;t know whether this is a design flaw or a manufacturing flaw, but the switch needs some work The work-around is to push the "reset" button on the built in GFI on the power cord.
