It's quite effective. Scrubs the surface a little more than just the pressure of the water. I used it on a stamped concrete patio and it worked great before I had to resurface it. sealing
Karcher greets you! It will connect to the machine, but it is intended for units with a higher PSI, such as our gas machines. Please take a look at our 11-inch surface cleaner, which is designed for electric pressure washers with a maximum pressure of 2000 PSI. br>br>Thank you for your excellent question, Karl from the Customer Care Team,br>
One of these I own. According to Book Reader, it has a detachable bearing.
There are two cleaning nozzles on this.

The pressure washer arm couldn't swing 360 degrees because the plastic casing was out of round. When I called the manufacturer to file a warranty claim, I was told that I needed to buy a Karcher pressure washer first in order for the product to be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. That's right, you read it right. Unless you buy one of their pressure washers, the warranty on this product is void. When I told them the attachment had never been used, they said it didn't matter because I didn't own one of their pressure washers. I'm not sure what kind of warranty requires you to buy one of their other products for thousands of dollars before they will honor the warranty on a $50 item. Karcher's customer service is non-existent, which raises serious doubts about the company's ability to stand behind their product. existent.
It was doing a fantastic job while it was working. On the driveway, I ran it for about 15 minutes, and it easily removed a lot of dirt. Hard moss, on the other hand, will be difficult to remove. br>br>On the third time starting it up, I noticed that I had a few more head wobbles than before. When I turned on the water, the nozzle shook, and the hose's tip popped out of the plastic shell. br>br>What happened was that the cover rotated with the motions, loosening the plastic nut that holds the bottom nozzle to the cover. The metal spray want beneath the head could oscillate and eventually hit the ground if the head shook. As a result, the spray wand snapped, the plastic nut came loose, and the nozzle shot off the cover. What snapped was a threaded brass piece between the rotating head and the inlet. Hopefully, it'll be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If they're going to keep their word. br>br>While the spray idea is good, the execution with less expensive materials is poor. The nut's attachment to the nozzle needs to be redesigned.
It made me happy when I got it. It was a breeze to connect it to the pressure washer. It cleaned as advertised for the first 5 minutes. Following that, there was a significant decrease in pressure. I examined the hose for kinks. None. Please return my 40-pound bag of groceries. When I replaced the deg nozzle, it worked perfectly; however, when I replaced the Karcher, there was no pressure at all. I took a quick look at the intake and sprayer holes and found nothing amiss. I had no intention of delving into it further. br>br>I purchased a Surface Maxx professional from a local store. Yes, it costs more than twice as much, but for the next four hours and two driveways and patios, it worked perfectly! Those two driveways would have taken me an entire weekend to complete instead of half a day. br>br>As a result, no to Karcher.
This is the one to get if you're looking for a consumer-grade surface cleaner. br>In the central "hub," all of the other brands I've tried use Teflon washers instead of bearings. They quickly wear out and are not replaceable. br>This is the only model in this price range that I've found that actually uses bearings. 17x35x10 mm are the dimensions of the bearings. On Amazon, it costs around $5. br>Excellent craftsmanship. It gets the job done. Isn't it disposable, like the big box versions, because parts can be replaced?.
For the past 20 years, I've owned a Karcher 2400 psi 5 hp gas power washer, and it's a workhorse. It's simple to start up and run. Over the years, I've used it hundreds of times. HOWEVER. I bought a Karcher 15-inch grinder about two months ago. To go along with it, there's a 12-inch hard surface cleaning attachment. I had hoped that the attachment would make cleaning my decks and driveway in the springtime a little easier. However, I discovered that my Karcher pressure washer is incompatible with the Karcher attachment. According to the documentation, the attachment will work with any pressure washer with a maximum pressure of 3200 psi. Not true. This Karcher accessory appears to be incompatible with Karcher pressure washers older than ten years. This information is not mentioned in any of the Karcher surface cleaner literature. When I contacted Karcher customer service, I was told that there was no way to solve the problem and that I was out of luck. I'm also $60 short because I bought it two months ago. Karcher should be held responsible for failing to state clearly that their Karcher attachment will not work with their Karcher pressure washer. Keep an eye on things.
I'd like to make a formal appeal. I'm well aware that I'm late with my returns. Please be aware that due to bad weather, including the effects of two hurricanes that hit Aiken, SC, I was unable to test The Karcher unit in a timely manner. The Karcher machine doesn't work as well as it should. It leaves large swaths of mold/dirt on cement surfaces, making it completely ineffective for me. If someone can provide a text number or email address where I can send a digital photograph of its poor performance, I'll be happy to do so. This product is of poor quality and should be removed from the market.
7gpm. Temperatures reach a maximum of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This can only be used with a pressure washer with a 2 gallon per minute flow rate. 7 gallons per minute or less This information is not included in the unit's description or on the packaging it comes in. It's written on a warning sticker on the cleaner's top. If this was clearly stated in the description, the manufacturer could save us both time.
When I got the unit, I tried to connect it to my pressure washer, but it didn't work. All of my other attachments worked fine, and I tried it on my neighbor's pressure washer with the same results, so I exchanged it for a new one. When the replacement unit arrived, it worked for about 3 hours, then stopped working the next day (the pressure washer worked fine, but there was no flow through the attachment, just like the first one). I also returned this one, but instead of a replacement, I requested a refund.
