Water Pressure Cleaner

[Black VU SS ute]

I'd never touch a karcher again, plastic pump head cracks then leaks water. 10yrs ago mine didn't had it fixed and it did it again.
Works unit only 2yrs old did the same..
I bought a Gernie, been happy since.

Awesome thanks heaps for your input mate. It's greatly appreciated as always. And thanks to everyone else who contributed towards my post

This attachment would work with this Karcher model wouldn't it?

I have a karcher, and this exact same foam attachment from CCP. It fits. You can see a drop down menu in that foam attachment page, for different models.

Thanks for that,
I just had another look at the link & read about picking the fittings to suit the different cleaners.

I have the "K2. 180" model. I cant seem to find it for sale anywhere like Bunnings etc, they mustve replaced it with a newer model. This is it on the Karcher site though:

I ended up settling on a Karcher K3.450 T250 for $299 from Home Hardware.

It comes with the vario spray lance, the dirt blaster & the patio/deck cleaner broom thingy. I also got Karchers's foam spray nozzle for another $30 (thanks whitels1ss for the heads up on this). Hopefully it lasts

I have a Karcher k 4.90 been a good machine, I broke the water inlet when I ran the engine stand over the hose by accident..

Too embarrassed to post up my $50 unit, though had it for over ten yrs no probs, handles all the tasks I need.
Found it more cost effective to hire the trolley mounted unit for substantial jobs, hire rates are cheap as chips & not taking up space in my shed!

That's not embarrassing...that's bloody awesome. To have such a cheap thing last such a long time is nothing short of amazing these days

I had a karcher for about 9 years. Paid $199 for it. Worked great. Started to have problems with it surging badly, put it on eBay and sold it for $60.00
Then went and bought a cheapy that was on special for $75 at supercheap. Does as good a job and so far, 12 months on its still going strong.

The Surge thing is Inlet pressure related, there's a filter screen that blocks up.

I figured it wouldn't be a massive problem. But after 9 years I was happy to take the $60

To be fair I might only use it a few times per year, not every weekend!

Still a bloody good achievement though...I probably used my original Karcher pressure washer (the $99 jobbie) about 60 times before it shit itself...so it would have been lucky to of had a total of 40hrs use...lol

NFI what just happened...
