5.0 out of 5 stars Works Well for a GREAT Price!, October 8, 2002

This review is from: Karcher K240MPlus 1,300 PSI at 1.6 GPM Electric Pressure Washer (Lawn & Patio)

I just received my Karcher K240MPlus Pressure Washer. The product was well packaged in a factory sealed box and was easy to assemble (WITH ONE EXCEPTION - the dreaded missing screws to attach the handle unit to the washer - more on this later) which consists of snapping the wand to the hose and the hose to the motor unit with a screw on connector. Connect a water hose and plug into an extension cord, turn the power switch to "ON", squeeze the trigger and your up and running! I began using this product on my house siding and eaves which had numerous cobwebs, mud wasp nest attachments and general dirt. After getting the technique down (a slow, sweeping motion concentrating the water pressure on the area to be cleaned, pushing the dirt ahead of the spray) this product did a nice job! Enough pressure to get the job done and not tear up stuff. I also did the clean up without detergent. I suspect this would do even better with a cleaning solution applied!
I washed windows, and my son's redwood and cedar play structure prior to waterproofing. It get's the dirt out easily!
Back to the missing screws - most company's really are hard to get through to for customer service. At Karcher I got through after ( drumroll PLEASE) TWO rings, one button push on the automated system and about ten seconds of waiting!... To a HUMAN!.. I highly recommend the product and the company for that factor alone!
Realize this is NOT a high pressure STEAM unit. It utilizes cold water under pressure. The uses are unlimited around the house.

This is just a dandy little pressure washer! It is super easy to assemble and use, and does a great job on wood (my deck has never been so clean) and sidewalks/driveways. Just can't beat it for the price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it works, but watch out!, November 29, 2002

I, too, was completely satisfied with the efectiveness of this pressure washer(pw). However, during the first usage of my pw, the plastic intake connecting the hose to the compressor broke off without any undo tension on the hose. In fact, there was considerable slack left in the hose. Because I could not find the receipt, Karcher would not replace this equipment. Also, I sent an e-mail asking if they couldn't inspect my pw and determine its age or extent of usage. I got no reply(I did get a reply to an earlier e-mail). So, be careful when using this pw and save that receipt.
