Hi Guys and welcome to my test and review of the Karcher K4 Full Control Pressure Washer and Accessories (sold separately). I've been using this Pressure Washer for about a Month and thought a quick review would help you if you're looking to buy.
I've also included my review of the Karcher Car Shampoo, Karcher Ultrafoam and the Karcher Soft Brush Attachment.

Thanks for the review. After watching it I bought one. One tip which I saw you doing is not to get the nozzle too close to the path/whatever. I did, with a K4040 and it developed three/four kinks in the hose from the washer eventually causing a blowback and a major leak under the machine. Out it went, but no problems with the K4.

Thanks for review. Not sure laying the brush attachment on the ground before you clean your car with it, is the best idea though. All you need is a small bit of grit on the brush to add a new effect to your paintwork.

Second one is the dirtblaster, it is meant for the hardest work that's why you shoudn't use it for every surface. I would recommend only using it on hard surfaces like stone, for others like wood or your car i would use the otherone and change settings depending on the surface ;)

When it packed up after a short time I read the reviews / comments and realised what bloody awful after sales service Karcher have got . Amused me when I read that it should not be kept in a damp environment ,, It's made for cleaning shower screens for god's sake ! Haven't used my K4 yet ... but fingers crossed .. Supplied by Tool Station , here in France ... so hopefully , better customer service if it goes wrong !

Second Kärcher and like how many hours does somebody wash stuff and tiles at home? The unit (now the capacitor, seemingly) often breaks down. Such a shame because the rest seems like a solid build quality. To me it is a big pain on just getting the (2018) capacitor out of the unit, seems stuck. Why why why? My central heating pump is running 20 years, EVs drive 150000km without issues. Kärchers only x hours .... ? or just me? What are your experiences? Mine is now taken apart on my garden table - capacitor stuck, what a mess, didn't clean anything ... seems like a consumer - market choice that stuff needs to malfunction. What would be a better power cleaner than my K4, a durable one!

Would it cover a two-story building with sufficient pressure to clean the high-reaching areas such as the eaves? Many thanks

Nice one. I figured out that by the time you get to using the Brush and Shampoo, the car is already wet so you only need to squeeze the trigger periodically. I squeezed it once on each panel (to get a bit of shampoo out) and used the brush to move it about and clean the car. Hope that helps. It will drain the whole bottle if you just keep the water coming out while brushing.

If you have the correct Soap container, it goes in the slot at the top of the unit. Once the Soap container is installed (and has soap in it) you just turn the Wand on to a low setting and you should see MIX light up on the Wand handle. If you're putting the Soap Spray Gun on the unit it just replaces the Wand as seen in the vid. Hope that helps.

Hope these suggestions help.

Cold water is fine for car washing, car shampoo is designed for cold water and the only real benefit to using warm water is to keep your hands warm on a cold day. You should never use hot water through a pressure washer as the water going through the machine is also used to cool the motor and the compressor is not designed for hot water either.

I have one and im sure it says in the instructions not to use it on the hardest setting on the adjustable wand. And to only use it on the car setting.

@@TheThorpester Just a idea for when your drying your very nice bike, now i know its sad, my wife has already called me sad lol but don`t care, i brought a leaf blower to dry the car off because, when i would dry with a chamois, then polish and all the rest of it, water would come out of the wing mirrors and go down the sides of the car when i drove it plus i could never get the water fully out of the wheel nut holes. I should imagine its much harder to dry a bike off.

Couple of things, never use one of those brushes on a car, they cause tiny scratches in the paint, the snow foam attachment that Karcher sell is ok but not great, there are much better 3rd party snow foam lances available cheaper that produce a much better foam and also the Karcher brand shampoo is also not very good at all and is very expensive for what it is. The K4 is a great pressure washer though, have one myself and it's been a workhorse. Totally agree about only using the variable lance dialled right back too as the others can damage your paint.
