Karcher K4 pressure washer

Anybody got one of these? Are they worth the extra 80quid over the K2? Any feedback or review is appreciated. Cheers.

Don't have either of them (I have a Nilfisk C130 which is great by the way, and which is recommend) but yes from a quick look the K4 is worth the extra. The K4 has an induction motor which is a much better motor than the universal one in the K2.

im looking at getting the Nilfisk E 130, better units than the Karcher i think

Unless you're using it to clean the patio and are just using it on the car you don't need anything very powerful btw

Thanks. Get a snow foam lance on order too. What foam do you guys recommend and what foam to water ratio is best? Cheers.

I have the k2 and it does the job spot on, nice and quiet too. I use meguires hyper foam, put an inch in the bottle and fill the rest up with warm water :thumbup:

2 weeks ago we bought a K4 Premium Eco Home:

Didnt pay that much for it though as B&Q had them on sale with over £100 off. Did have a K2 before which gave up the go after nearly 5 years of use.

cool. what's the reel on top of the premium that you don't get on the standard K4 for?

Winding up the hose. Thats all.

I think the hose is a little bit longer to. Nothing worse than having to keep moving the pressure washer to reach different bits of ze car.

ordered one with a snow lance bargain at Amazon for £159 + £20 for the lance

 

[N0ddie]

No mate I went for the karchers own 0.6l cheapo one, think that'll do as I'm not using professionally or anything.
