Karcher Pressure Washer

Review Posted 01/23/2012
I bought the HD2.53.0CH model based on PWD recomendations, and am very pleased with the performance of the unit.
The things that I thought were important in a unit were the motor and the pump. And this one has a very good Honda motor and a good pump.
The unit was delivered as scheduled within 5 days I think, assembly was very easy, and it started within a few pulls of the started cord. I bought the unit to strip off some not so good looking concrete sealer started with a 25 degree nozzle, and ended up using the 0 degree, which prompted me to order a turbo nozzle.
If you have some tough areas, the turbo nozzle is the way to go. Since the back yard concrete deck job, I have pressure washed the sidewalks, and some of the concrete roof tiles with very good results. I need to order another 25 feet of hose so that I can finish the roof.
But up to this point I am very happy with this pressure washer.

Cleaning made easy
By Bob T.

Review Posted 09/21/2011
I just used my power washer on the driveway, deck, and shed. No problems if you follow the directions.
Started up easily and not difficult to use. The only problem is that my wife now sees the potential and wants me to do more.
My advice to the husbands do NOT show your spouse the results. I warned you. It is starting to detract from my golf game, not good.

Fantastic service & product.

Review Posted 08/29/2011
I ordered the washer on a Sunday and it was delivered on the following Wed. Unbelievable service and shipping was paid by seller.
It took me all of about 30 minutes to assemble. The washer started on the second pull and never gave me a problem.
Even when it ran out of gas and I tried to restart it after I filled it, it started on the first pull.
This is a fantastic pressure washer, it does all it is supposed to and more. I washed 2 cars, washed my driveway, and then did my 2 story house and all came spotlessly clean.
If you want a washer thats worth more than what it cost you, this is the one.
Thanks Pressure Washer Direct..............

Fantastic

Review Posted 08/20/2011
After trying a couple different electric models, both of which were horrible, I realized that the only way to get a good machine that works is go with gas.
This one is priced right, starts easy, not too noisy, and is very powerful; almost too powerful for many applications. It's not heavy and rolls around easily.
Great machine!

Pulled one time

This power washer is great!
I pulled it right out of the box, put it together, added oil included and gas. Then I pulled ONE TIME on the starter cord and it started right up!
After several years with my Briggs & Stratton engine power washer, this is just unbelievable.

Runs & works great
By Larry K.

Review Posted 08/01/2011
unit arrived on time, as promised. unpacked and aired up tires. filled with oil and gas. oil fill is somewhat tricky but the special bottle enclosed helped facilitate adding without spilling oil everywhere.
I didnt have the proper soap so washed my 3 cars with washer only, and it did a very good job. then pressured washed off my wood redwood deck, that the stain was badly weathered, and flaking off. took some time but managed to
get it to stage where can restain, again with just water only.
impressed with ease of starting, love the manual choke and automatic rpm speed when activating the wand. did notice after 2 hrs oil was very thin and skunky looking, so drain and refilled with new oil. was told by Bill at pwc this is normal as new engine
contains some metal particles from manufacturing process. runs and work great.
ps some one else must think so too, as after my 1st and only day of using it the unit was stolen from my
garage the following day, so am saving up to purchase another.

Could use it more if it wasn't so HOT
By Norman P.
Grand Prairie, Texas
Purchased 07/09/2011 |
Review Posted 07/30/2011
Easy to assemble. Started easily the first time with three pulls.
Spray is very strong and does a good job with porch dirt. Now if it wasn't so darn HOT here in Texas I could use it more often.
Can't really use the unit at 6am as it does make a significant noise. It will cool off soon, and I have several projects in mind.
Very fast shipping and the unit arrived safely.

Love this Power Washer
By Sandra R.
Danbury, Connecticut
Purchased 06/26/2011 |
Review Posted 07/19/2011
I love this Power Washer. I was looking at the Briggs & Stratton 3000 psi, but when I checked the weight it was about 80 lbs and that was just too heavy for me Im strong, but not as strong as a man. The Karcher is around 6065 lbs and that I can manage.
Its a great machine. It takes a couple of pulls to get it started when cold. But, any restarts after its been in use are an easy one pull.
My only complaint is where they put the oil plug. It really is stupid. There is no way you can put anything directly under the oil plug to catch the oil. You have to place the machine on a hill with the oil plug side on the downslope or prop up the machine and let it drain across the machine and then drip into a receptacle placed under it and hope you catch it all. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!
Other than that, its been awesome. I've washed my deck and am in the process of washing my Railroad tie steps and flagstone insets. House is next on my list!

A good deal
By Tim W.

Purchased 06/18/2011 |
Review Posted 07/13/2011
This pressure washer worked great to clean up my house in preparation for painting.
I did notice the throttle fluctuating high and low which caused the pressure to fluctuate high and low while I was spraying which got a little annoying. After reading the trouble shooting section of the manual, I determined it was related to how much water I was supplying to the pump and whether there were any leaks at the hose bib connections or kinks in the hose.
I figured out a 5/8" hose doesn't cut it for this machine. When I used a 3/4" hose, the throttle fluctuation went away. My house's 62 year old rust-filled galvanized pipes might have something to do with it too.
One thing I thought is important to mention for future people buying this rig is either the oil capacity specified in the Honda manual is incorrect or the 20oz container of 1030w oil provided has more than 20oz. I read the instructions carefully before running the machine and saw that the oil capacity for the engine was 20oz and the amount supplied was 20oz.
One would assume the engine would take the whole container of oil. My mistake. I ended up overfilling the oil and luckily I only ran it for a few minutes and then checked the oil level on perfectly level ground. Oil came pouring out, letting me know I overfilled it. But, you have to love these Honda engines. It pretty much starts on the first pull every time.
I think this pressure washer is a good deal and I will probably buy future equipment Power Equipment Direct.
PWD RESPONDS: Good thinking on using a larger diameter garden hose! Each of these units are tested before they leave Karcher, so sometimes there is residual oil left in the engine.
