I’m looking for a pressure washer to clean the paved areas around the house and in the garden and I heard Karcher was the way to go. And I’m glad I landed on your review page for the K4! It looks like a good deal, being of such high quality, with 3 years warranty, and the price looks reasonable too. You have provided very useful details, thanks for the review. I’ll surely come back to your site whenever I need to find further reviews and stuff for the garden and around the house. Cheers also for outlining the faq’s as I really found that part useful also

Yeah, we use this pressure washer at home and it’s really cool. It’s price is just good for its value and we’ve been using it for a couple of months now and nobody at home has had any reason to complain about it. Although like you said, the hose was a bit shorter and so we needed to get a new hose but that wasn’t a big problem at all. Apart from that, it’s all good. Great product if you ask me and hard to beat in terms of quality and reliability
