Karcher k7 Pressure Washer Review / Is it worth the upgrade for Car Detailing & Patio Cleaning?

Рет қаралды 308,059

Күн бұрын

I Review & put the Karcher K7 to the ultimate test Detailing on Muddy Farm Vehicles, Patios & Cars and I compare the the K7 compact, Smart control & the Full Control Plus to show you what your getting for your money.
Could this be the best Car Valeters Pressure Washer of 2021? or is the Kranzle still king?
I also Try out the T7 Patio cleaning tool and the FJ6 snow foam cannon to see if they can perform better on Karcher's premium Machine. Both these accessories are compatible on the K Series machines including K2 , k4 & karcher k5
is it worth the upgrade?

I received my pressure washer kzfaq.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP over the weekend and decided to wait for the sun to come out before firing it up. Was needed to clean the deck. Our last pressure washer broke a couple of seasons ago, and I just hadn't replaced it yet. This one had great comments, so here we are. It was easy to assemble, and the trigger wand is comfortable and easy to hold for long periods of time. The pressure washer worked great and made quick work of the "TN North side algae" that inevitably grows every year. I also washed all of the deck furniture while I was at it... it all looks great! So far I am happy with this purchase. I plan to climb the ladder to wash siding over the next couple of days, will update if I have anything else to add after that!

New to your channel and loving the in depth videos. I recently upgraded from the 5 to the 7 including all the bells and whistles at a tasty delivered price of £382. I personally find the app to be an awesome tool when you swap out that standard Lance for the stubby gun. Also found that when you use a foam cannon and then select detergent like you should when or if using the plug-in patio bottles to the machine you get a fantastic consistency of product. What were your thoughts on the boost function? The hose this time round appears to be much more user friendly opposed to the 5 which was just horrendous. Question I have is having now seen many people do this why the jump from the K7 to the AVA equivalent? You see many people complaining about their karchers going wrong but I see roughly 90% of that being purely user error.

@epicautomotivedetailing Жыл бұрын

I ended up taking karcher parts off mine like that lance and hose and went custom when I had one. I explain the things going wrong and to be honest it's down to the volume of sales. You won't believe how many get sold every day in the world so the percentage of breakdowns is small as a percentage but because they sell so many it kinda looks worse than it is.

Brilliant review lad. Great work 👌👏 I recently purchased the k7 compact and I'm loving it, it's so handy and powerful. Small problem though, when I connect my foam gun water pisses out from the connection, like there is way too much pressure. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The only way you can turn the pressure down is on the end part of the original lance which you have to remove to connect the foam gun. Any ideas???

the k7 compact has a 3000W motor, and puts out 180bar at 600Litres per hour, where the more expensive one only has a 2800W motor, only puts out 150bar pressure at normal operation and 'up to' 180 bar but only whilst the boost function is enabled (which is time limited to a few seconds - presumably so the motor doesnt burn out), and the premium one only puts out 550 litres per hour. so, you're literally getting a worse machine, with a fancy bluetooth lance that will just break as soon as you try change the pressure whilst pulling the trigger and not get a free replacement as "you should have read the user manual".

@epicautomotivedetailing 2 жыл бұрын

Did you know that karcher test their own pressure using their own machines? They also get the bar readings from the initial first millisecond where the water shoots out. All those numbers from karcher are not true but they get away with it due to their own loopholes. Unlike nilfisk and kranzle who test fairly

@@epicautomotivedetailing The first initial bar reading is the maximum for the pump, and most manufacturers mention this max number, but they also mention the operating pressure which is the prrssure level when you are actually using the lance and its always a fair bit less. Here in Australia the K7 is 180bar max, but its operating pressure is 130bar a big difference, in europe the same K7 is 150bar operating pressure and same max pressure.
