I have a karcher now but am looking at that for my next unit. 4 stars is pretty good considering it has 1000 reviews. also, the built in hose real is a great feature, you will surely appreciate not fighting the hose every time you use it and pack it up.

 

My concern with that one is that there seems to be multiple reviews complaining of water leaks. tmf - have you had any water leak issues?

 

a small drip at the connection on the machine but could be a seal issue or hose not properly tightened..

 

Hmmm. Sounds pretty minor - something plumbers tape might handle even. One reviewer stated that he replaced his Karcher with this one and he prefers this to the Karcher. Interesting.

 

I've been thinking about buying that one for months now. I might order it this spring.

 

It really works well for me... got the mildew off the driveway plus its 1900PSI...

 

Now you've done it!! I'm about to place an order. LOL.

 

lol. congrats

 

As others have indicated, spray rinsing the car first with a high pressure washer blows off some of the dirt, but this time of year it's the salt deposits. This year I bought the undercarriage attachment. Relatively inexpensive and made a bit flimsy, it still does a fair job of rinsing the underside of the car with two rotating nozzles. Not for a high production facility or workers who may be "careless".

Haven't tried the solution tank on my Karcher yet, but use the foamer attachment. It's similar to using a Gilmour foam gun.

 

link to the undercarriage attachment?

 

Definitely not! Buy a cheap Walmart unit and it breaks on its 3rd wash. Spend 2-300$ and you'll realize how useful it becomes.

Car, asphalt, concrete garage floors, siding, brick, gutters...

It pays for itself in that way, not so much water IMO, I use it for longer to get it right than I would just a regular hose rinse to be fair...

 

by cheap i meant 100-200... not a $1000 dewalt.
