4.0 out of 5 stars
Better than the rest, October 26, 2008
I like to do a lot of research before I purchase items like this, and I found that Karcher is one of the best brands for pressure washers out there. Spotted this unit on clearance at one of the local wholesale clubs and quickly bought it. I've since cleaned my tractor, cars, patio and concrete porch with it. Haven't had a chance to clean the house yet, but will give that a shot next spring. When I used it on my porch and patio, this washer worked great with no detergent necessary. Tried it on my tractor and it worked great there as well. When it came to the cars, I'd give it "B". You definitely need a brush attachment or you're just spraying water and soap, but even with the brush, you're not going get your rims super clean or all of those bug stains off.
I would definitely buy this washer again, but here is my wish list if I can change some things. First, it would be nice if there was a drain plug for the onboard soap dispenser. There's no good way to empty it now other than use it all up. Second, the hose needs to be another 5-10' longer to get around a full size vehicle without having to move the washer. I know a 25' hose is standard for all washers so this is not a criticism against Karcher. Finally, the pressure for the soap sprayer seems pretty weak and am concerned that I won't actually be able to use it on my two story house next year.
Having said that, I'm still happy with my purchase. The Honda motor starts with one pull all the time...hot or cold. The brass pump is top notch, and the quick connects are great.

Karcher G 3025 BHR, October 5, 2009
This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Karcher G 3025 BHR 3,000 PSI 2.5 GPM 187cc Honda GC190 Gas Powered Pressure Washer (Lawn & Patio)
Absolutely a great deal!!! I did receive my unit with a broken plastic "accessory plate." I called the Karcher Company since it had a thirty day warranty. Karcher stated they do not acknowledge the warranty (they have an "understanding" with Amazon that Amazon will honor the warranty) and referred me back to Amazon. After a bit of phone tag, I spoke to Amazon customer service which helped me with this issue. The replacement part was shipped the same day. I had great customer service from Amazon and not from Karcher. As for the pressure washer itself, WOW!!! The unit looked brand new, even the cracked accessory plate (a plastic piece which holds the nozzles for storage) looked good. The unit ran great. I added the oil, which came with it, and gas. One pull and it ran for hours. The power and simplicity of it, and the Honda engine has made it one of my best investments. I have an electric power washer that I've used for 7 years, 1300 psi and it is slowly dying.
I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking to upgrade or replace their old pressure washer. It has everything on it to include the ability to fold the handle (a nice feature for storage). I would have given it 5 stars, except for the fact that it arrived with a broken piece. I would give it FOUR & ONE-HALF STARS.

Great washer, July 25, 2008
This is a great pressure washer. It has many features that more expensive units didn't have. Like quick connects for the wand and hose. 5 nozzles that will do any cleaning that you need. I cleaned my 3 car driveway in about 15 minutes after setting it up. I haven't used the detergent dispenser yet, but I have no doubt it will be great just like the rest of the machine.
Very easy to put together with good instructions and very easy to start and operate.
