Karcher K3 Power Control Car and Home Pressure Washer, yellow

Product Information

Effortlessly apply detergent by simply twisting the vario lance to mixed and apply detergent as you work. What's more is the vario lance also offers three more pressure settings from soft, for rinsing dirt off your garden furniture, to hard, for removing stubborn dirt from the patio. The robust 7 metre high pressure hose gives you plenty of reach when working around the garden, and the front of your home. When finished, neatly store away the high pressure hose, trigger gun, and lances with the onboard storage, ready for the next use. Please note some larger products are delivered to kerb-side (the street outside your home), it is at the drivers discretion if they can deliver the item to another location on the property.

Karcher is a German company known for its high-performance pressure washers. This model comes in three versions, including, full control, eco, and compact. Included with the K3 is the adjustable Vario Power spray lance, and you also get a Dirt Blaster spray lance which is specifically for cleaning stubborn dirt on patios.The high-pressure hose is optimally protected and stored so as to save space. Convenient working – hose always within reach due to easy rolling in and out. Low centre for a safe position even on angled surfaces. You can adjust the pressure and the spray pattern by twisting the Vario Power Spray Lance until the display hits the desired level. This means you can get most cleaning jobs done with just the single spray lance, although Kärcher still bundles in a harder rotating jet nozzle you can use to blast any really stubborn grime (or the slightly loose tarmac off your driveway if you’re stupid enough to try it without adjusting the pressure level first. This absolutely did not happen to me.) If you need a lot of cleaning power then yes. Those with smaller gardens and limited hard surfaces to clean could probably get away with a smaller budget pressure washer, like Kärcher’s K2 Compact or the lovable Halfords PW20. Compact Design– Designed to be compact and lightweight with on board storage, this Kärcher ensures you always have your accessories to hand.

However, these come with a higher price tag and with some app-enabled smart features that I’m not entirely sold on. Overall, I think the K4 Power Control hits a better balance of features, power and affordability than its more expensive sibling. Kärcher K4 Power Control review: Should I buy it? The Kärcher K 3 Power Control Car & Home Pressure Washer makes light work of any cleaning tasks around the home. From cleaning dirty outdoor furniture, to removing mud from your car tyres, this useful pressure washer will be the helping hand you need to get your home maintenance complete in no time. The Karcher K4 Pressure Washer combines power with an innovative water-cooled induction motor for enhanced performance and longer life. It includes a Spray Lance, detergent suction hose, and Dirtblaster Lance. All of these will provide you with as much as 50% cleaning power than a standard high-pressure lance.The K3 is built well (as all Karcher pressure washers are, in our experience) and it’s also quite compact, so it’s easy to store when not in use. The built-in handle and wheels allow you to easily move it around, although at just 4.4kg, it’s easy enough to just use the regular handle and carry it to where you want to. Clean and convenient – the detergent tank can be removed for filling. The practical detergent tank simplifies the application of detergents With innovative technology such as the Smart Control gun, the 3-in-1 Multi Jet spray lance and the Plug 'n' Clean cleaning agent system, you can face any cleaning challenge with ease. Smart Control Models also come equipped with an integrated hose reel, meaning you won't get tangled up whilst cleaning. Powerful, but economical

Power Control machines come equipped with different options that help you to integrate detergent whilst you clean. The Plug 'n' Clean feature allows you to simply 'plug' cleaning agent directly into your pressure washer meaning it is automatically and efficiently applied whilst you clean. Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets User Friendly– The extendable trolley handle, robust wheels, and impressive 7m hose length, offer convenience and an easy cleaning experience.For over 60 years, Kärcher has been perfecting the art of pressure washing, with more than 1,300 patents as evidence of the company's inventive spirit which make Kärcher the world's leader. Kärcher's focus is always on the needs of itscustomers. If your bike is particularly dirty and has been stationary for some time, you might find the dirt a bit too stubborn for the lower pressure. Provided you’re careful about where you aim the lance, we found the higher (medium) setting was preferable for getting rid of mud that wouldn’t shift on the lowest setting.

The instructions aren’t that clear and there are quite a few screws involved. Once you’ve assembled it and connected it to the water supply via a standard connector, however, it’s simply a question of plugging the hose into the gun, attaching the lance and pulling the trigger. Tested for equivalent of 20 years’ use: Kärcher are the only home appliance brand to test all of our products for the equivalent of 20 years’ use - that's 7,500 drying hours, equating to 5 cycles per week for 20 years so that you can be rest assured that your appliance will stand the test of time. And now Kärcher use even more recycled materials in their manufacturing process As you might expect, the K3 is just as effective at cleaning cars, as it is bikes, though again we found that it was possible to go up a couple of notches on the Power Control screen for a bit more cleaning power. You just need to make sure you don’t get too close to the object you’re spraying, or spend too long on one area.

The Vario Power Spray Lance and Power Control Gun work exactly as promised, making it easy to change the pressure and adjust the pattern without needing to fiddle with the unit or stop to plug in a different accessory. I barely needed to reach for the secondary Dirt Blaster lance.
