Karcher K 2.38 CCK 1600-PSI 1.25-GPM Electric Pressure Washer with Car-Care Kit and 20-Foot Hose

I just bought this unit at Target, and used it to pressure wash my deck and brick facade home. I've had no problems with tripping breakers, and it ran continuously for several hours on both days used. Used it today to clean years of age off concrete steps. Can't comment on soap feature, as I would not use that anyway. Great for around the house chores, for the price. Really, if I were pressure washing a boat or something major I'd get a gas powered heavy duty model. A bit loud.

Out of the box everything felt cheap. All plasting no metal to be found. The washer lasted one car wash and broke. The pump part is fine but something in the wand must of snapped. Also the soap tank just sucks. Holds enough to get halfway a car before it runs out. It also requires their own brand of soap "packets" which isn't cheap considering one packet doesn't even wash a car. Gotta drop the packet in. Add water, wait to disolve and then mix before its ready. The whole reason for me wanting a pressure washer was to save time and $. Even if this thing worked PERFECT which it does not it would take more time and more $ than a car wash or garden hose. Plus I can't overstate the fact that it broke in less than 20 minutes. I can't believe that a company can sell such a badly designed and built product.

I've owned two of these. The first I bought to clean my boat. After 2 uses, it broke. So I went back to the store and they would not return it, as I couldn't find the reciept. I bought another. This time, the breaker continuously pops. Reset, upon reset later, I am now buying another brand! Really, if you want to waste the money, just open a window and throw the money away. This product is really that worthless!
