1.0 out of 5 stars Great when it works, May 11, 2009

This review is from: Karcher G 2600 PH 2,600 PSI 2.3 GPM 161cc Honda GCV160 Gas Powered Pressure Washer With 25-Foot Hose (Lawn & Patio)
Karcher makes a good product at least in the sense that it does perform as advertized when you first use it. The Honda motor is excellent and the tool generally performs very well. My problem with this machine started in year three (conveniently after the two year warranty expired) and is a result of a sticky "unloader valve". This is a critical piece that protects the pump but can stick and essentially disable the pump. Once it starts to malfunction you have no choice but to take the whole machine to a Karcher certified repair center (hassle and $$$). The company provides no information on service or preventive maintenance for this valve in it's owners manual. Indeed, the unloader valve is never even mentioned in the troubleshooting section although this is a common problem with all pressure washers. You cannot purchase a replacement unloader valve from Karcher, they won't sell you one.

So, three years into ownership I have a great Honda motor with about 2 or 3 hours of use on a completely worthless pressure washer unless I fork over another $150 for service center installation of a $25 valve or be told that I need an entirely new pump which would cost more to put in than a new pressure washer once labor is included.

The problem with these things is that there are aluminum parts internally that corrode. They corrode faster in winter etc but the bottom line is that Karcher gives almost no preventive maintenance instructions for the pump itself. I always emptied it of water and left it in the barn. The service people tell me that they advise customers to take these pressure washers into the heated area of the house in the winter!!!

Bottom line: it works well when it works and it has some common problems that are very expensive to have repaired. I would not mind replacing a $25 valve myself but the company won't even sell these to the customer so in the end this is a very expensive short lived product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Short time user, May 15, 2009
This review is from: Karcher G 2600 PH 2,600 PSI 2.3 GPM 161cc Honda GCV160 Gas Powered Pressure Washer With 25-Foot Hose (Lawn & Patio)
I bought the Karcher because I felt it was a winning combination of Honda and Karcher.
I bought it late in the year and only used it once before winter, I stored the unit in the celler.
I took it out in the spring and used it for about two hours all was fine, great unit.
I took it out about a month later and found no pressure.Then the fun began.I went back and forth with Karcher and ended up sending the pump back to the factory. By the time I got it back I could only try it to see if it worked, it seemed fine.( there was no charge because the bolt inside the pump had fallen out and been eaten by the pump)
The story goes on, I just took it out this year and it worked well for 20 min. and then it started pulsating on and off, I tried changing nozzels, looking for some sort of carb adjustment (nope, not allowed)_I am now ready to put this $400 unit at the street and hope someone will take it. I will never by Karcher again.This unit is now 2 years old and if I try too get it fixed it will cost me another $150-$200 probanly not going to do this.I would hope Karcher would make this right.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy if you love throwing away your $$$, September 12, 2009

This review is from: Karcher G 2600 PH 2,600 PSI 2.3 GPM 161cc Honda GCV160 Gas Powered Pressure Washer With 25-Foot Hose (Lawn & Patio)
I too got this pressure washer through a hotel rewards program. When the unit arrived, I assembled it and tested it out. To my dismay the pump was surging and would not deliver solid pressure. I tried different water taps and verified the tips were clean. After taking the washer to a dealer, I had to wait 5 months to get a new pump in. During that time Karcher would not honor my warranty because I did not have a sales receipt. After I explained I got this through an awards clearing house and had the original shipping slip, they would still not honor my warranty claim.

So, the point is:

1. Washer was broken out of the box.
2. Karcher tech support sucks (online only)
3. Ordering parts is a nightmare (most retailers listed on Karcher's web site have dropped the Karcher line all together)
4. Abysmal customer service

Hopefully now I can find a Sears pressure washer that uses the same engine!
