Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked this up at a little over $90. I used it for a 3-day heavy cleaning around my home. I'm very satisfied with it. First, if you've never used an electric pressure washer, the motor does NOT run continuously like gasoline washers. You hook it up, turn the switch to the "on" position, and it's ready to go. All you do is pull the trigger when you want water. About a half-second after you pull the trigger, the motor kicks in and you get your pressurized water. Release the trigger, and the motor stops, and the water stops. Simple.
Everything attached very easily. The pressure (1550 psi) was enough to get the dirt off my gutters/soffit/siding and clean my pavement without cleaner or detergent. It's also strong enough with the adjustable wand on max setting to clean decking, but yet gentle enough to not damage the wood. I did notice a little fraying when using the cleaning wand, but not much. One note: while this unit DOES have a siphon tube for using detergents or cleaning solutions, I didn't use any, so I can't comment on how well this feature performs.
One drawback, which would apply to any electric PW, is that if you're going to move around a large area (cleaning gutters/siding around a house, etc.), it's a real challenge to keep the supply hose, electrical cord (and any extensions), and washer hose untangled as you move from location to location. That said, it's a relatively minor inconvenience. But this unit comes in really handy for the small jobs. It doesn't take up much space, and so far it's done everything I've wanted it to. I'm very pleased with this product, especially at the price I paid.

Make short work of a host of outdoor cleaning projects from washing the car to cleaning out eaves with the Karcher K 2.28 electric pressure washer. Compactly designed and weighing just 13 pounds, this German-engineered unit delivers up to 1550 PSI/1.3 GPM of power for up to 30 times more pressure than a garden hose while using 80-percent less water. To choose the appropriate amount of pressure, simply attach one of the two included cleaning wands and turn the dial on the front of the unit. The Vario Power Spray wand works well for all-around cleaning while the patented DirtBlaster increases the effective pressure by 50-percent for more heavy-duty tasks.
Additional features include a total stop function on the trigger so the motor only runs while water is spraying, a child safety lock, and a maintenance-free motor and direct-drive axial pump. The siphon tube automatically dispenses detergent in the proper ratio (Karcher recommends using the SoapPac line of detergents), and the 20-foot hose combined with a 35-foot power cord gives the washer plenty of reach. This model is also compatible with a wide variety of Karcher accessories, including the Deck and Driveway Cleaner, Rotating Wash Brush, Wheel Rim Brush and more. It carries a one-year limited warranty.
