Karcher's 5-Series line offers the most durable electric pressure washers for the home. The K 5.85 M from Karcher is built to last. Made with a long-lasting induction motor and an extra-durable pump borrowed from Karcher's professional line of pressure washers, the unit can withstand the rigorous demands of frequent use and delivers an amazing 1850 PSI, more than 37 times as much pressure as a typical garden hose.
Equipped with two spray wands, the K 5.85 M effortlessly tackles any cleaning project around the home. For tough jobs, attach the included DirtBlaster spray wand to increase the effective pressure by up to 50 percent. For less-intense cleaning, attach the included Vario Power Spray (VPS) wand, which makes it possible to easily adjust the pressure right on the wand.
Even more, the K 5.85 M comes equipped with an onboard detergent tank that makes detergent application a snap. Simply fill the detergent tank with Karcher pressure-washer detergent, attach the VPS spray wand, select the low pressure setting, and apply the detergent mixture to the area that needs cleaning. Thoughtfully designed, the top-of-the-line K 5.85 M also comes equipped with a built-in hose reel, the ultimate solution for convenient, hassle-free storage of the high-pressure 25-foot hose. The K 5.85 M is certified by CSA International.
Also available from Karcher and compatible with this unit are extension wands, wash brushes, and detergents.

Karcher Better Quality than FAIP,
By Joe (BEN LOMOND, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Karcher K 5.85 M Plus 1850-PSI 1.5-GPM Electric Pressure Washer with 25-Foot Hose and Hose Reel (Lawn & Patio)
I have owned a few Karchers. My old unit broke during some deck cleaning - it was probably about 5 years old. I ended up ordering an FAIP because there were several good reviews on it. I quickly regretted buying the FAIP PWS1750 unit.
I promptly returned the unit to Amazon and ended up buying this Karcher unit. It is considerably more money, but I believe it is worth it. It exudes much better quality in many ways over the FAIP. The high pressure hose reel is a great feature- this is the feature that sold me. Unlike the FAIP PWS1750, the hose stays connected when you reel or un-reel the hose - I mean, isn't that how a hose reel is supposed to work? It makes it very easy to put away (I only wish the power cord did the same thing). The optional T-racer surface cleaner attachement is much better than the FAIP's ultra cheap PowerWash Broom. It is on the high end for an electic power washer price wise, but also quality wise. You know the old saying; you get what you pay for. This unit is made in Germany whereas the FAIP is made in China. This is my 3rd Karcher; the only weakness of most Karchers is the garden hose connection. It is not very robust and can break off if you don't take it easy -I don't know why they have not beefed that up over the years.

Unpleasantly Surprised (rewrite),
This review is from: Karcher K 5.85 M Plus 1850-PSI 1.5-GPM Electric Pressure Washer with 25-Foot Hose and Hose Reel (Lawn & Patio)
Unpleasantly Surprised (rewrite)
I ordered a Kärcher K5.85MR through Pressure Washer Direct. The week it took to get to me counted towards the 30 day warranty. The item arrived with a cracked right wheel and missing lower bracket for the spray-wand storage, otherwise, it worked beautifully. My complaint concerns Kärcher customer service. Their call center is located in the Philippines, but their hours are M-F 9AM-5PM EST. Their automated greeting advised to have the invoice handy, as they "may" need a copy faxed to them--there's no "may" about it, they insisted, even if the product is factory-direct shipped and warranty-registered. My experience with customer service was nothing but a hassle, and by the time I receive replacement parts, the item will be out of warranty. I would've rated the product itself a "5" if not for the very cheap and inadequate wheels. I rate the customer service and warranty a "1". Basically, I'm pleased with my purchase, but I consider it an "As Is" purchase because of the warranty and customer service. I hope I'll not have to deal with Kärcher's customer support again any time soon. Pressure Washer Direct credited $25 to my account as a "courtesy credit" for the inconvenience, and I would order through them again without hesitation.

Another Excellent Karcher,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Karcher K 5.85 M Plus 1850-PSI 1.5-GPM Electric Pressure Washer with 25-Foot Hose and Hose Reel (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased a Karcher 3.67M directly from Amazon and used it twice a week for over 15 months (in the blazing hot sun, and freezing cold) and it finally started acting up on me. Instead of resolving the problem, I decided to purchase a new unit instead as I felt the 3.67M had served me well for the $170 I paid for it.
Anyways, I have now had this K 5.85M for a little over a month and it is an excellent machine. I spent the extra $$$ for the on-board hose reel and aluminum pump because I use my pressure washer so frequently. I'm loving the on-board hose reel, and there's even a cord wrap on the back of the handle for wrapping up the electric cord so the pressure washer and all of its included items are quickly and easily stored away. I intend on continuing my bi-weekly use of this machine and I will update this review as I have more experience with it. Keep in mind that you may need to purchase or have the little o-ring to connect your garden hose to the unit. Mine did not come with one; I'm not sure if it was left out by accident or if you are expceted to have your own...in any case, I just pulled the one from my old Karcher and put it in the new one and problem solved. It is obvious that since most of the negative reviews for Karcher pressure washers on Amazon are not verified purchases, people just come and bad-mouth Karcher with no justification. This is my second Karcher pressure washer purchase straight from Amazon and both of them ran great straight out of the box. Potential buyers should also keep in mind that all the unhappy people are more likely to post a review to complain and warn others. But all the satisfied purchasers are less likely to make a review because they are just happy with their unit so there is not much to say. Update April 1st, 2011: About 6 months in now and the unit is still running fine. Only used it about once a week during the winter months because of all the snowfall we had.
