Thanks for this 'how to'; very helpful. Is the pre-soak phase essential? I was just going to load the dispenser and go straight in with the patio cleaner but now wonder if that's right? Thanks!
I don’t think it is essential, I’ve not done it since on other areas and not noticed a difference in the result. The machine is what gets the dirt off. Enjoy your cleaning!
вот это нагадил! Вообщем, я бы делал все совершенно по другому. 1) никакой фрезы - это зло, разрушает и все забрызгивает 2) сначала все отмываем насадкой обычной, похожей на фрезу, но не такой мощной, потом насадкой патио 3) всю грязь собираем, заливаем жидкость и проходим финишно, чтобы не рос мох и компания.
I agree, there is a more expensive attachment you can buy separately but it’s not included as part of the package, just the cheap version without the brush.
My very old K2 died yesterday so bought this K3 kit from Toolstation this morning, on offer at just under £150. When I went in I received a £15 discount, something to do with coming in before 9am they said. For £135 a bargain.
Thanks for the video. I just bought yesterday this K3 Car & Home, but without the power control. Are you gonna do more videos with this K3 ? or comparison videos ?
Well done. Good length and well edited. Just bought the same K3 kit with the same accessories and keen to see you thoughts. Looks handy and thanks for the content!!
Depends on your budget, k5&k7 are a decent jump up in price. Also didn’t have it on full power for the car. Hasn’t felt underpowered for anything with the high pressure lance fitted, such as cleaning pavings. That being said, the premium models would obviously offer better power (and possibly longevity) if you can afford them.
Great information on the 3 videos of the K3, well explained and thorough review. I checked the kit out today and found your RU-vid videos. I have decided to buy the K3 Karcher Kit on the strength of your excellent review. I live on the edge of a lake in Australia and experience the same winter problems as you do. Thanks and I have now subscribed to your channel.
So I've only used this pressure washer one time. ru-vid.comUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.
Thanks for sharing this experience. Too expensive to cleane a small car with a full expensive useless shampoo. WOW indeed !!! Side note, clean with brush not recommended, but if you have to, then start from top to bottom.
@Grumpy_Jock thanks for the reply. If it does, the same job might as well get the cheaper 1. As it'll probably only be used once a year anyway. Cheers👍🏼
Thanks for the video saved me buying the t150 package just bought jet on its own t150 seems a gimmick it's useless may as well just use the lance as it doesn't get in the crevices like the lance can .
@@Robutube1 I've not noticed a significant difference Rob with the solutions I've tried so far. I haven't tried the kosher Karcher stuff yet but I have a bottle awaiting assessment. Watch this space.
I wish karcher added a swivel joint on the yellow hood and add a 6" extension lance for taller people. I find iam standing at a painfull angle when i use our k4 to clean slabs.
You are better buying a seperate foam cannon and using Bild Hamber Auto Foam. Far better much thicker foam and far better cleaning power. Thats the best stuff and very economical to use.
I’ve not tried a K5 so can’t comment, but I imagine the K5 is higher spec and therefore better for some tasks? I guess value for money and requirement is the key decider.
Yo dude, thanks for the video. I've just bought one of these bad boys and was wondering if you had discovered any more uhm..."efficient" use of the foam jet rather than it defaulting to MAX POWER :)
Not yet. I find the inbuilt detergent dispenser to be more efficient than the foam wash, with a diluting shampoo rather than one which you don’t dilute - certainly a lot kinder on the wallet!
Great demo. I must say I'd love to see the slabs after a hypo wash. All the black mould and lichen would be removed. The patio lance did seem a tad cheap and plastic looking. A skirt underneath would have made it so much easier to use - it would glide across instead of scrape across the patio surface.
You are right about a brush skirt being of benefit. There are more expensive models you can buy which have this, I think this is the cheapest option they do, hence why it comes as part of the kit.
They have a 3 year warranty in Australia from Bunnings and a extra 2 on top of that if you register your purchase online so 5 years think I might give it a go knowing I have 5 years backing
