Dissapointed
By Nelida H.
Milton, Florida
Purchased 04/20/2021 |
Review Posted 05/19/2021
I barely used the pressure washer and it started to "surge'. It started surging at shorter and shorter intervals to the point the machine no longer worked. I applied for the "Rapid Exchange Program" with Karcher, last Sunday, May 16, 2021. Since their website indicates that a particular model (K.3000) is not available at this point, I inquired about getting a different model instead, since I am in the middle of a cleaning project and the job needs to be completed ASAP. I have not yet heard from Karcher. I had purchased the same model washer a little over 6 years ago, and it lasted 5 years. This one did not make it to 5 weeks. It was delivered on April 24, and it stopped working on May 15th.

This Is A Good Product For The Price

Review Posted 11/21/2017
Works great. Only thing keeps it from excellent rating is the plastic fitting for water intake. Cannot get water hose screwed on without it leaking constantly. And yes I have made sure that there is a rubber O ring gasket. Still leaks water.

Great Performance And Easy Set Up

Great ease of use with the mobility and the set up! First year no problems, second season the motor continues to surge even when you aren't spraying!

Please check to make sure your unit is getting enough water- that is usually what causes a surge. Make sure the screen between the garden hose and the unit is clean, the hose is at least 5/8" diameter and 50 feet long or less, and that you have opened the supply faucet all the way.
If it really is the motor surging, then please check to make sure there isn't another appliance plugged into the same circuit that's in use at the same time. Even though it's out of warranty you could also call the folks at Karcher at (800) 537-4129 to see if they have any other suggestions. Please have the serial number of your unit handy in case they ask for it.

Wish I Was Happier

Review Posted 06/20/2017
So I was hoping I was not one of the people that got the pressure washer that worked twice and quit, but no luck there. Worked great for washing my garage floor and pick up truck and that was that. I didn't get to use it on my deck.
I am hoping to troubleshoot somewhere or contact the company to see if I can get it to work. Bummed I spent that much money and can't use it at this point.

The notes on your file said the unit wouldn't start. There are some things to check in the Troubleshooting section of your Owner's Manual (we have a PDF copy of the manual on the K3.00 page, under the Specs tab if you need it).
Please try resetting the GFCI button on the power plug- it may have sensed a problem in the circuit, or gotten wet, and tripped- preventing any electricity from reaching your pressure washer. If you were using an extension cord, please test the pressure washer without it, and make sure the extension is a heavier gauge meant for outdoor tools.
If that doesn't help, please give the folks at Karcher a call at (800) 537-4129. They may have some other advice to offer, and be able to set up their Rapid Exchange Warranty for you if needed. Please be sure to have the serial number of your pressure washer handy when you call Karcher; they will ask for it.
We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience.

Disappointment!!!
By Phil H.

Review Posted 06/17/2017
Loved it, the first time I used it last fall. Took it out of the garage today 6/17/17, to wash the wife's car. Got about halfway through the job and it no longer works. Water flows out the bottom and up into the switch location. It will not pressurize.
Not very impressed. 2nd time to use this product and it blows an internal gasket or seal. Was washing my car, got about half way through and it quit pressurizing. Water running out the bottom and up into the switch location. Used it once last fall, it did great. Stored in a heated garage. Think it's about a year old.

This unit comes with a 1 year Factory Warranty from Karcher, so you may want to give them a call at (800) 537-4129 to have it replaced under their Rapid Exchange Program. Please be sure to have the serial number of the pressure washer handy when you call them; they'll need it to set up the exchange.
