Karcher K5 pressure washer unboxing Setup and Demo 

I could listen to you talking all day lol, very soothing voice!

I have seen many videos on the Karcher product but this video was very well made as it comprehensively covers everything. Thanks

The Product comes with a scan code that enables you to register the product and shows step by step how to set up K5 and which screws to use where. This is far better than the paper manual

What a great explanation video. I wish everything I bought had a video like this to follow!

So I got mine today and the video was really helpful for set-up. Thanks for sharing !

Thanks for this lifesaving explanation. I would still be busy if I had to do it with just the manual. Also a thumb up for your presentation. No unnecessary music and no "What's up pepole" shouting. For this non native English speaker you have a beautifull articulation which is very easy to follow and a pleasure for the ear. I am glad I found this video

Thank you for showing us how to setup the electronic wand!

Thanks for this - those two screws left over had me baffled and I'm glad I came across your video!

Found this very useful, thanks for sharing.

That was very helpful. Thank you for posting the video.

Thanks so much for this great presentation. I'm sure I would still be trying to figure out Karcher's confusing instructions and poor diagrams without your video.

Great video. Just what I needed. I unboxed mine today. Many thanks :-)

Thanks so much for this detailed instructions! I would have gone mad without this! This helped so much and I am really shocked about this poor manual of a German company... btw. I am German. Thank you!

absolutely fantastic video, thanks a lot mate!!!

Legend. I almost cried when I saw the different screws and what only be described as abysmal pictogram instructions. Terrible. I too struggled to fathom which screws were for which and mine too included the irrelevant instructions for the wheels. I also had an issue pairing the lace and discoverd that you can reset the connection by unplugging from the power, holding +/- until it flashes, then re connecting the power and holding +/- again. Bingo! Your video gave me real life confidence to overcome the terrible instructions. Thanks. 👍

That video was like me the day I setup my K5. But after 50 minutes of trial and error it truly is a wonderful device. Great video, well explained.

YES EXCELLENT VIDEO IT HELPED ME A LOT THANKS SO MUCH FROM FRANK IN IRELAND

Excellent Video. Really Helpful. Thanks 👍🏼

thx man it helped me

Thanks for video!

Thank you for your tutorial

You sir are a Prince among men. Thank you so much. I took one look at the instructions and said to myself, try you tube maybe somebody might have made a video about the K5. To my delight, you did. I reckon Karcher should at least give you a free machine for your brilliant video. Because of you I didn't fall down any of the pitfalls. If I ever meet you, I will buy you a pint. Thank you.

Great explanation and video, I found this to be very helpful and informative.

Yeah, this helped me heaps as well! Thank you

Toys for bois. Gotta unbox mine. Thanks for video

I just bought this so this video was helpful

Video is Super helpful! Instructions in the box were useless!

Thanks for the review, still undecided on buying my first pressure washer. But this helps.

Thank you for creating this honest, no-bullsh*t video. It's everything that the official "K5 Premium Full Control Plus" user setup guide ISN'T, ie accurate, easy to understand and useful. Karcher should ditch their pathetic manuals and just license a copy of this as setup instructions. Best regards from Sydney, Australia

It was really helpful video as I am using pressure washer 1st time. I bought last week but haven't used it yet. After watching video I am feeling more confident to have a try.

Great video. I bought two days ago the K5 Compact.

This is a life saver... you are brilliant

Great 👍 Thanks Like from 🇬🇧

Good video thanks. Karcher feedback 1) label screws 2) provide a universal water connector in the box 3) Improve instructions.

Purchase magnet wand and was so lucky that on the second insert got the screw which I had lost. thanks for the tip.

I was going to get the k7, but i did not fancy the digital display on the wand set up, so went for the Kärcher Pressure Washer Xpert Deluxe ..my last karcher lasted years, but during that time it was back to the service station for repair a few times ..pain in the arse, its 15 miles away from my home..

Thank you for taking time to create this video. very helpful. Karcher should just pay you to create the set up video.. justsaying!

I just got this from work it was a bargain with discount, seems good so far only just assembled it and tested it briefly. Lasting many years might be ambitious though haha

Thanks for the review. I bought a k5 jan 21, took it out of the box and put it together which could have been your video as you talked it through. Head scratching now over I’ll take it back to Argos as I was under the impression I’d bought the hose reel version so maybe it was a discontinued model. Anyone with no background in assembling equipment could well struggle without your guidance. Full marks

I just want that karcher becouse have nice display 🤭😂 good video thanks

before buying pressure washer, i recommend you to inspect the quality and ease of use of the water hose. i was very disapointed with the kurcher water hose. so after some long research i decided to buy the stihl 130 pro. it is an amazing german mase machine, very well enginnered, even the electric cable is hidden inside a door... and it also looks great...

The karcher cube series is better because they use standard M22 fittings so u can upgrade the gun and hose. The k 1-5 have proprietary fittings so you can only extend the current hose, can’t replace it. Even to do that you still have to hunt down aftermarket adapters.

Thankyou!

Feeling nervous about settings on the wand 🤔😳 Karcher is a good make but as for instructions they are dire !! Glad to find your video thank you .

Instructions could be clearer from manufacturers thanks for this video really helped 👍.

Hello, Thank you for this useful video. I have a question when I clicked the plus and minus sign. The screen in the handle did not work

In section diagrams where they ask to put screw, they actually show on top what screw to use (graying out other screws and keeping screws to use as dark colored). However since everything is black and white it gets mixed up and you don’t easily see them. Infact once you see this part, then installation is easy. Before you figure this it feels like a guess game and total nightmare!

great video,many thanks,we would have struggled to set it up otherwise...we haven’t used it yet,but have a couple of questions that you might be able to help with...1.when the 3 in one jet is attached,we see that you can turn the settings round and it clicks on each turn...we are maybe being stupid,but what do you line it up with to show what setting you’re on ? ...2. are we right in thinking that you can use the pressure washer without the Karcher detergent,presumably you can just use water ? ...you clearly know what you’re doing and we would appreciate your advice...

Just bought the same 1 today from argos.

hello again,I’ve used the machine 2 or 3 times and it does a great job… I am still finding it very hit and miss with the lining up,as per my comments in my original post …have you found an easier way to do this ? I do wonder if I’m doing something really stupid as it surely can’t be this difficult !!

Can you tell me water flow rate litter per minute

12:44 Best part.

Been looking at this model as an upgrade from my 20+ year old, leaking karcher 411a. Still works but fancy something with more power to get the job done quicker. Looks good spec wise, just the price tag that's a bit steep

Hey, the water outlet from karcher comes with the pressure washer ?

Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use ru-vid.comUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

A life saver thanks would have taken a lot longer to assemble without your help as usual m/f instructions are v vague and I would never have figured out the screws.👍

I did the same as you lost screw in machine, how did you manage to get it out??

Thanks

Do you have to sync the washer to the wand every time you power on?

Well, I found your video very useful...thank you very much, BUT I watched it only after I did exactly what you did. The instructions that came with it are ridiculous and so I also lost the screw inside the machine. You did say that you managed to get it out with a bit of 'jiggery pokey' but I've been on my back trying to shake it out and its so bloody heavyyyy!! Still in there so do you have any tips please? haha

Hi there, thanks for the video, I'm thinking to buy one of these, just confused between this or k4 or k2 or stihl pressure washer , only needed to wash car, so how is it after one year of this video? Thanks

How do you connect the pressure washer hose to the unit?

Thanks. I wouldn’t have been able to assemble this without your video. Why they include the completely useless piece of paper about the wheels, yet can’t be bothered to put in assembly instructions into something I paid £300 for is beyond me!

Hi, would you like to review the new MJJC foam lance Pro?

شكرا

Did you try to assemble it without reading the assembly instructions? or the guide is very bad?

What differences between karcher K5 *EU full control and karcher K5 full control??

please tell me how you got the screw out! I wished I had found your video about a day ago!!

Dear Sir, First of all, I am happy to see your videos and thankful to you for making such knowledgeable video. Could you please answer me... About difference between Karcher K4 Power Control and K4 Premium Control. Please do help! It's my humble request to you. I am in very need of Karcher K4 OR K5. What is the main difference between Karcher K4 OR K5. Kind Regards, Basavaraj from India. 🙏

I bought the k5 in February and after 2 months the lance started to detach from the trigger gun when I use it. I contacted karcher 4 times and they have sent me a new trigger gun which when I attach the lance now leaks at the connection! I am absolutely fed up! I think I have ended up with a faulty k5 which I bought from John Lewis

Hi just to let you know you need to line up the yellow strip of the extension wand to the gun and you will have a much better results of the Karcher . Because you plug in the wrong side of the wand to the gun they need to line up the gun and the wand with the yellow strip 🧐🧐🧐

Is this the premium one with the hose reel ?

Really appreciate this video. I'm currently looking at either the K4, K5 or K7 and hadn't realised there were these extra steps. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but disappointing nonetheless that Karcher doesn't supply the unit with handle, wheels, etc pre-fitted.

How do you turn on boost mode

Have inherited our Karcher K5 premium full control off my mother-in-law. Still in the box. No receipt now therefore cant register it so can't access the how to videos. The instructions in the box are a disgrace, totally useless. your video was a life and window saver. Would have found it useful to have close up of screws used for each bit as i'm really not a put things together person and i don't know what a self tapping ect screw looks like, but after about two hours I got there. big thanks😀

I really wish I had watched this video before I attempted assembly as I made exactly the same mistake as you did with accidentally dropping the base screw inside the machine. The instructions neither indicated which parts were the dowels nor were the screws in any way labelled. On opening the box one of the dowels was pushed inside the low pressure inlet connection which gave me the impression that this part had something to do with the water pressure regulation. It isn’t, of course, but I leave this information for the benefit of anyone else who might have similar difficulties. Only when I watched this video did I understand that these were the mysterious dowels which I could not locate in the box, You did not indicate how to get the screw out of the inside of the washer. I have not done it yet although I can see it is going to be very tedious. I certainly could not assemble this in 5 minutes. I have not, as yet, got round to working out the use of the hose but it looks like another IQ test which I am likely to have problems with. Thanks

Further to my comment re the K5 pressure washer made today 5th Dec 2020 . I finally got the orphaned base screw out from the inside to the unit by partially unscrewing the back of the new machine This is held on by a series of T10 Torx self tapping type screws about 20mm in length. Fortunately I had the right size Torx driver. I did not have to completely remove the back just removing enough screws to be able to lever a gap between the front and back of the machine. The machine is quite heavy and shaking it up and down trying to hold a gap was not a great way to start with a new device. Watch this space for further antics und Kärcher, bitte schön, machen Sie etwas mit diesem Anweisungen ☹️

I just bought one but hasn't got attachment for detergents. The chamber is there but I can see the motor through it.

If your screen isnt working you might need to replace the AAA batteries

How many price??

Think I’ll stick with my K4. Good video though.

$700 AUD premium product and you need to assemble and screw bits together. Karcher must be making an absolute killing on these.

i did exactly the same thing on my k4! screw fell inside the case when fitting the bottom tray luckily i had the tools to open the case, instructions are not the best

You should have shown which screws you put where… it wasn’t easy to see.

Hello each and all, Just purchased a 'K5 Full Power Control' to replace the Karcher K4 I took back to B & Q for a full refund (good service from B&Q by the way). I got a refurbished K5 from their own shop. The lance indicator never made it to the top of the indicator on the lance, not once. Went on RU-vid for help tried what they suggested but no luck. Karcher are not open on Saturday so that was a waste of a day. If I am able to I will return it for a full refund as after two of them ~ I am "Pressured off". Purchase date of the K5 15th May 2021

A nightmare to assembly . Thank goodness for u tube help videos. Not for the faint hearted to assembly . Instructions from Karcher are rubbish to say the least .No screws labelled just trial and error over a day . Better be worth the money when we use it .only help provided from Karcher over phone was a list of spare parts .Oh come on its brand new .

hi there. You have put on the sprayer wrong.. you have put it upside down. thats why it wont work proberly. I have one my self and have som issues about the electrik handle to show the right info and pressure mode...

Jeez this sapped me of the will to live

Just brought one of these, also it's very refreshing to see a decent worthwhile RU-vid video for a change, as all I seem to see nowadays are embarrassing famalam videos or dire wokery from the liberal loons😂lovely stuff mate👌🏻👍🏻

I actually rang Karcher and they said the self tapping screws were for the wheels, and leaving 2 spare screws. NOT true your demo is much more helpful

I laughed out loud when you lost that screw inside the machine, because the exact same thing happened to me. You seemed to handle it with aplomb. I on the other hand spent half an hour swearing and shaking the machine trying to get it out. Good product but extremely poor instructions. Thanks for taking the time to show us how it is done!

Looks like this will break real fast

Bad quality. Mine stopped working after few years. With little use. I have cared for it all the right ways. Very expensive, happy in the beginning, angry and sad now.

This is Not karcher , this is Kärcher( kerkher)!

Worst pressure washer I've ever owned. Plastic hose is terrible an every time I went to use it the pressure switch was " so called air locked an wouldn't switch on, had to run mains supply water through the machine for 5 to 10 minutes to activate the switch to get machine working,. Power control lasted till machines warranty expired an then LCD screen died.. Too bad as the old Karcher machines where great an less complicated, less to go wrong.

UGH! I bought this machine a year ago, put it together myself (non mechanical female) and went to start r up.. The sync ing does not work, I called Karcher, they sent me another one....Still cannot sync. I see on this video He too had a problem, he did not show "how he rethought it", but if you cannot get the electric snced up IT DOES NOT WORK!!! $350 down the drain , bought at Lowes too late for a refund, should od returned last year when I could.. I am now hiring someone to come clean my decki and i have this washer in my garage! DO NOT BUY!
