Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Karcher's award-winning, German-engineered K3 series of pressure washers offers premium performance and durability. The K 3.48 M employs Karcher's patented pump technology and a powerful maintenance-free induction motor that lasts up to three times longer. Equipped with two spray wands, the K 3.48 M is able to tackle any cleaning project around the home. For tough jobs, attach the included DirtBlaster Spray Wand to increase the effective pressure by up to 50%. For less intense cleaning, attach the included Vario Power Spray (VPS) Wand, which allows you to adjust the pressure right on the wand. The trigger gun features a total stop function, meaning the motor only runs while your spray, reducing noise and power consumption. The trigger gun also includes a child safety lock. The K 3.48 M comes equipped with an onboard detergent tank that makes cleaning a snap. Simply fill the tank with pressure washer detergent, select the low pressure setting on the VPS wand and begin spraying. It's that easy. Karcher recommends using the SoapPac line of detergents with the K 3.48 M. This model is also compatible with a wide variety of Karcher accessories, including the Deck and Driveway Cleaner, Rotating Wash Brush, Wheel Rim Brush and more. The K 3.48 M features an upright ergonomic design with a handle and wheels for easy maneuvering. It takes up very little storage space thanks to the integrated accessory holder. You can even draw water from a standing source such as bucket or pond, a feature that comes in handy when a water faucet isn't available (requires optional Water Suction Hose). Karcher is the world's largest manufacturer of pressure washers and the #1 brand for commercial pressure washers. Headquartered in Germany, the company invests heavily in research and development, currently holding more than 350 patents. Technical Specs: 1800 PSI, 1.5 GPM, 35ft. Power Cord, 25ft. High-Pressure Hose, 120 V / 60 H

This review is from: Karcher K 3.48 M Plus 1,800 PSI 1.5 GPM Electric Pressure Washer With 25-Foot Hose (Lawn & Patio)

washer does work.
3rd time using, the handle broke off.
While this does ave a 1 yr warranty, they do not honor it.
I have been suffering through a robotic like customer service dept in some far off country, that is just down right awful.
Made 6 phone calls to try to get replacement handle, and, after nearly loosing it with a supervisor, she said she would send one out.
Received a 0 dollar invoice, showing the order was placed, 2 weeks aga and still have not received item.
Too bad, half way decent product, awful customer service.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well; no cord holders, March 14, 2009

I received this product about two weeks ago. I had a little trouble connecting the pressure hose, but once my husband helped it all worked. It did a good job removing moss from my flagstone deck and is easy to use.

However, there is both a pressure cord and a power cord and there are no hooks to wrap the cords on. I think that is why they do not show any cords in the picture.

I bought this one because it has an induction motor. Several of the other 1800 psi electric pressure washers do not have induction motors and in reading customer reviews, several people had trouble with the motors burning out on other models.

I only used the Karcher for 20-30 minutes at a time so I do not know if it can run for a couple of hours. I had no problems at all. I would recommend this for purchase.

I purchased the Karcher washer and it worked for a while. The plastic hose connector sprang a leak. It took 8 weeks to get the part. Now the on-off switch broke, again plastic, and it has been three months trying to get the part. I'm giving up on it and will not buy a Karcher again!
