I bought this unfortunately AFTER I used the 40% wand on my deck which took me 8 hours and multiple tanks of gas. I will admit it probably does about 90% of the possible cleaning that a wand at close proximity could do, but it was plenty fine for me considering the difference in speed.. i could have done the deck 4 times in the same amount of time the wand took me. I cleaned all the way around my pool and my entire driveway in about 3.5 - 4 hours total.. It literally hovers like a helicopter (it has fan blades above the spray nozzles) and I just move it around like a vacuum cleaner and it was actually pretty fun. Most of the over spray is contained in the head of the unit making it a lot less messy than normal, I actually did all the washing barefoot lol. I shot this video with one hand while filming with the other to show the ease of use. The adapter that comes with the kit easily fit between the wand and my 2600 psi Kohler pressure washer

Had a decade of dirt, grime and green stuff accumulated on large concrete driveway and sidewalks. Using the normal nozzle tips of the pressure washer worked, but ultimately impractical due to the tedious time required. This surface cleaner worked like magic in a fraction of the time. It is light and easy to use without straining the arms. It leaves a smooth, uniformly clean finish. And it was even fun. Felt a bit like fixing pictures in Photoshop or using a Paint program, as the unit so smoothly changes the color as it sweeps along!

Anyone who has used a pressure washer knows that it is necessary to keep pushing the dirt and debris ahead of the cleaned surface. This is normally accomplished with the pressure nozzle itself. However, when using the Karcher surface cleaner, this is no longer possible. So, if you decide to purchase this item, be prepared to have a separate garden hose hooked up. You'll need to stop pressure washing occassionally to hose away the grim or it will simply dry on the surface where it lays. Aside from this one problem, the Karcher surface cleaner works very well. Sure, if you move across the surface too fast you will not get a good job, but the same is true if you're using a pressure nozzle. When moved at the proper speed for good cleaning, it is still twice as fast as a pressure nozzle. What's more, you don't have the tedious job of constantly staring at the nozzle to make sure you're holding it a uniform distance off the surface. It's always possitioned perfectly. I'm very glad I bought this item.

Karcher did a good thing when they produced this product. It fits almost any pressure washer out there, and it does come with an extension wand. I have a large concrete patio that needs cleaning every spring. I attached this unit to a 2550 PSI Craftsman pressure washer and turned it loose on the concrete surface. It did a really good job in cleaning. You do need to go slowly back and forth, or you will end up with swirl marks.

The downside of this product is that many pieces of dirt and other foreign matter get caught in the little bristle brush that surrounds the outside rim of the unit. I was unable to remove much of this after using it on the patio, but it didn't seem to affect the performance at all.

Is is very light weight and cut the cleaning time in half. Much easier on the arms to, as you don't have to stand there and swing a nozzle back and forth.

Definanly a good product for a really good price.

Works well on my 2500 psi Karcher pressure washer. Used it on my concrete driveway and it did the job in 1/4 the time compared to using the regular spray nozzle. So easy to control due to the hovering effect that I found I was moving too fast and not getting a thorough cleaning at first. Slowed down a bit with an overlapping path and it cleaned very well. I highly recommend this product.

Highly recommended... Saves time and water. It did an excellent cleaning job on our driveway without a solvent.

First I want to not waste the time of some folks, if you are looking for a product to use commerically, don't buy this. That is not to say it is inferior, it is just not rated nor robust enough to stand up to the "rental car treatment." But if you are a homeowner and are going to use this for yourself, it's an excellent buy. I used to power spray my brick drive and siding with just the wand. Had I known about this 4 years ago, I would have saved so much time. This little beauty will make quick work of the area you are cleaning. Its two rotating heads are strong enough and gentle as well to do just about any surface. The sweetest thing about this it will not make the streaks you typically get when you use a wand. Since the heads rotate, they don't rest long enough in one spot to etch a signature. The head has adjustable angles for the nozzles to set it to attack with full force on a brick surface, or your can shave off the angle and have it gently wash painted siding. The hover adjust is a great feature since the hover will change with the change in nozzle angle. This helps immensely because it literally floats the whole thing taking the burden off of you and allowing you to not fatigue as easily. The controls are well marked and easy to set. The large yellow center rotary knob adjusts the surface pressure while the smaller front slider easily asjusts to fixed notched positions for the hover affect.

I have this married to my Troy-bilt 2600 PSI gas model. It comes with an adapter that interfaced with the Troy-bilt easily enough.

The t-racer did a nice job on my driveway. I found it looked better if I went up and down,then side to side. It cut my time in half. I have a 2200psi washer.

I received this Karcher attachment as a birthday gift in May 2008. My house has several large porches and a long and winding driveway. This attachment cleans the porches in a quarter the time of a nozzle, and does a better job. The driveway, made of concrete with an exposed aggregate finish, was always a pain to clean with a nozzle. This surface cleaner makes the job very easy and almost fun as the dirt washes away. Highly recommended for anyone with large flat surfaces to clean. Very easy to use and very effective.

Concrete driveways in Florida need to be cleaned about twice a year to get rid of dirt and black mold. Using a conventional pressure washer wand is like painting the outside of a house with a 2 inch brush! It takes forever. I saw pros using a surface cleaning attachment and thought I'd give it a try. Caution: Be sure to verify the capacity of the surface cleaning attachment is greater than the psi output of your pressure washer. The Kracher T350 worked well on flat surfaces that were relatively smooth and free from gouges and pockets. Older concrete that has an eroded surface or extra soiled / stained areas will take as long to clean as using the original wand. This is because more time is required and additional passes are needed to get the last 10% of the dirt out. Using the T350 cut my overall time by 30 to 40%. It is a good value considering the next step up is 3 times the price. I recommend it.
