Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE: THE UNIT KEPT KICKING OFF THE BREAKER BUILT IN. I contacted Amazon and they refused to help. However, Kärcher Home & Garden sent me a brand new one to replace the broken one. Amazon may not supply good service, but Kärcher Home & Garden sure did. Thank You appreciate all the help. Our family owned a pressure wash company for 10 years, I have used units most my life. I am "not" connected with Karcher in anyway but this is my own personal profession review of the K 1900. We had used high end commercial units and why this is a residential unit there are some great things. I like that all even the low end washer comes on wheel thats a plus as the do not force you to upgrade for wheels well done. Installation. 15 minutes or less. The unit comes double boxed so is extra protected, each unit is packed well and is a snap. Why most will figure it out there are two washers for the wheels and why the picture shows the washers on both sides it doesn't say it. So if you have wobbly wheels check the washers are on both sides. There are only a few parts to put on the gun, the hose, the wheels and the hose adapter. Its pretty solid although the wheel construction seems the same from the 1700 to the 2000 model and they get heavier as they go up so there is no reviews of wheels failing but they should be heavier built in my opinion for the 1900 and 2000 as they are noticeably heavier units. The hoses have rubber O-rings advice to use some spit or water on them before installing these o-ring will tend to dry out in factory so light water no oil that will ruin them , but water on install will make them last longer and wont snag on install. As 99% of all washer hose leaks can be because of that 10cent O-ring if you are taking the pressure line off and on advice buying extras as they will wear out, my setup was 10 minutes. Usage: Right after install I used the unit. A good idea on use or after storage is : turn on water ( power off and unplugged ). with water on pull wand/gun trigger with nozzle on, this helps prime so the pump is not running dry. Now turn on power and make sure the tip is on. The unit is pretty quiet so hearing protection is not needed in my opinion. I have semi-low pressure at my older home but the pump work great. I used this for cleaning my truck and some moss removal. If you are going to wash a car, boat, RV, or even side walks pressure washer work well if the surface is wet or damp some people think a pressure washer is weak when its used cause it take long to remove a desired surface. We found pressure washing in the rain was great if you do it with this electric unit make sure its under something that keeps rain off like a porch. Pre lathering a vehicle helps remove the crud, you do not want on car paint to sit there holding the pressure washer until dirt is gone as you could easily damage clear coat so a pre-light wash or use the soap option on the unit before is a great way. Pro's: Easy install Great price under 200.00 for the K1900 shipped free via Prime. Light weight but built tough. Comes with soap option. Built in surge protection. Storage for parts and extra want extension. Quiet, easy to use. 3 year warranty. Con's : I thought wheels could be heavier The pressure hose ends are plastic and over time may wear out. No extra holes for extra tips if you buy them. Longer pressure hoses if you buy them cant be stored on the unit. Overview my cons are based on my professional use and for a home residential unit its expected and normal. I wish it did have a longer hose, and the unit with the reel ( K2000 ) wont allow longer hoses either stored. But again this is a home unit. All I can say is wow, for under 200.00 and free shipping this works very well, its built tough sturdy. And another wow is the 3 year warranty that unheard of on home units but there it is. I bought my unit to wash my cars in the drive way and clear gutters etc it does concrete well when I tested it too. This is not a commercial unit but I would say its a very nice best built home unit I have ever seen, there are some commercial unit that are not as nice as this unit. Its built smart and thought out. There should be other tip holes but thats ok. I would say out of the line up the K1900 is best the K2000 would be great if it came with a much longer hose having a reel doesn't really do it for me. But the K-1900 is better then other units , its heavier then the lower models and my guess is a better pump. The company should state that because a good selling point is a better pump and heavier stuff. Now I have only had this for one use and I am not worried as it has a 3 year warranty, read the storage and cleaning references and it will last a long time. There are many units out there but as a professional who bought this for his home, I would say this is the best deal, and the best built.
