Somewhere a few years ago Kärcher began using a proprietary style quick connect on many of their consumer grade pressure washers. The K5 is one of them. Since it is non-standard in the industry there are few (if any) third party accessories compatible with this series of Kärcher Pressure washers, leaving you solely at the mercy of Kärcher for any accessory that attaches to the Pressure washer hose, like a replacement or an extension for the existing 25’ hose. (which they are presently ‘out of stock’ and do not know when it will be available).
After 30+ minutes w/ Kärcher Customer Service, it was clear that they had no clue, so I asked to speak to Technical Support. She said that was not possible and suggested I call a local Kärcher authorized repair service. She transferred me to Warranty Support and after another 5-10 minutes on hold they gave me a couple of numbers for ‘Authorized Service Centers’ near me. They were both about 40 miles away, but that’s OK, `cause all II need is advice. Well the first shop (a lawnmower repair shop) had no clue as to the problem I was experiencing as they had never seen a newer model Kärcher w/ this kind of quick connect. The next one (another lawnmower shop) told me that the ‘Pressure Washer’ guy didn’t work on Fridays and to call back Tuesday or Wednesday.
So not only are you out of luck on the out of stock part, when it does arrive get ready to pay over twice the price that you would otherwise pay for a suitable replacement elsewhere. And who knows when that will be? Just park the Kärcher K5 in the garage and put your thumb on the garden hose like you did before you gave Kärcher $250 or so.
I would love to just return the K5 and move on to something less proprietary, but I'm 2 weeks outside of the Amazon return window. :-(
I've got a lot of experience with both gas and electric pressure washers. Karcher has been in the game for a long time and offer many sizes and types of washers. This K5 model boasts an impressive 2,000 PSI at 1.4 gallons per minute. That's not a whole lot of GPM for that pressure, likely because a larger volume pump would simply cost more to have the in the unit.
The pressure washer was fairly easy to put together and took me about 20 minutes. At least 10 of those minutes was spent trying to get the high pressure hose to seat into the pressure pump itself. What a pain in the you know what. I don't know if the machining was slightly off or what, but seriously I was ready to drink a second beer. At any rate, I got it all together and it looks pretty sharp.
During use, this puppy is quiet. I can't believe how quiet it is when it runs. Using the high pressure wand it really doesn't feel like 2,000 PSI to me. Maybe it's because it's a lower volume output or 2K is simply the peak power. It does do a good job at cleaning and if you need this to clean off the deck, wash the car, wash the siding...it will do just fine for you. If you plan to use it commercially; look elsewhere.
Overall, this is a good balance of power and value, but if you need something really heavy duty, plan on forking out another $200. Having said that, you have to keep in mind this is NOT a $500 gas pressure washer, so the folks comparing it to that just isn't fair. I did receive this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest an unbiased opinion of it. I hope you found my review helpful and if so, please click the yes button below. Thanks!
Just got a replacement of this item shipped to me on 18 June. Imagine my surprise when neither wheel will 'click' into place per the instructions. I've twisted and pressed so hard I'm bending the spokes/louvers on the inside of each wheel. They simply will not attach.
Finally got wheels to stay on unit. Although they don't click into place as clearly described in the instructions, when the cap is attached to the wheel, it puts enough pressure on the axle that it doesn't fall off the unit. Being an engineer, I have no recollection whatsoever that things were this poor when I bought my first one four or so years ago. Be aware that the instructions are HORRIBLE. The very first graphic is misleading at best and flat out wrong at worst. How's that for starters?
Based on my experience with the last two acquired from Amazon, I really can't in good conscience recommend this product simply from the frustration involved, regardless of how good it might be once assembled. Perhaps one day Karcher will get it's act together. Good products require good communication.
I decided to put trust in this brand again and purchased this model in July 2018.
I tried using it yesterday to wash my patio, and after about 5 minutes of use I hear loud clunk thud sound from inside the unit. Water is coming on the side of the power washer and I'm already aware what has happened. The pump has died and cracked.
Not sure why Karcher started using plastic pumps which are so problematic and only their commercial units have metal pumps.
To make things worst now that I'm within warranty Karcher's customers service is nowhere to be found. I'm told to reach out to their dealers and I called 3 within 50 mile radius of me and each one told me they do not work on residential karcher electric power washers.
I'm staying far away from this brand after 2 lessons. Karcher is nowhere near where it was years back, do not trust this company unless you really want to see your money gone.
Crap product from what used to be a good name in power washing.
STAY AWAY....
I know that chinese analogs with same specs are cheaper: sun joes, greenworks etc. And somewhere has better specs but I saw a lot of reviews on YouTube where complained about real values and quality.
So I’ve got k5.740 and here my review.
Overall quality:
Many questions here where it was made. It made in China. But I wouldn’t say that’s bad. The Apple makes all its stuff in China as well so it’s just what quality standards companies use for production.
When I opened the box everything inside has been packed very well. No any weird cheap plastic smells or leaks (oils or lubricants).
Assembling hints:
- use silicon spray for connectors what has rubber rings (pressure hoses). It prevents any damage and leaks then. And it will be easier to assemble.
Assemble is pretty straight forward, there is nothing hard.
If you’d like to use extension cord - please use at least 14/3 gauge cord. It says: motor needs 15 Amp. So I’ve found 50’ cord at HomeDepot with 15amp max.
First use:
When you connect water hose DO NOT ON washer!! Just allow water to come out of the gun by regular water pressure. It will remove all air from pump and hoses. After 10-15 seconds you can power on washer.
Using:
I was really impressed how powerful it is. I cleaned my deck in 20 minutes I think. Please check my pics and video. And another one thing: it’s soooo quiet!! I’d think my neighbors happy by this fact as well. :))
Motor has automatic start/stop function but if I fill that I need pause more than one minute I prefer to power off it and drop the pressure. When I ready to continue - just power on it again.
Overall thoughts:
Pros:
high quality
easy to use
good power
water consumption
quiet motor
Cos
plastic wheels, I’d prefer if they’d be with rubber coat
soap function is not good. I’ve ordered external foam cannon
a bit heavy for my wife :))
Pros: Visually appealing, Light, adjustable water pressure, quiet, efficient
Cons: Cheap build, proprietary parts, low-pressure, expensive, impractical
On February 7, 2020, I purchased the Karcher K5 Pressure Washer as it was recommended by one of my favorite automotive detailing YouTubers. I bought this for detailing my personal cars and was very optimistic about the product however, I can simply not recommend it.
Getting straight to the point, this thing is a huge piece of plastic that is not built to last. Everything from the wheels that support the machine, the entire body, the wand, and even the quick release hose attachments are made of a very cheap plastic material. Within the first week, the hose quick connects to the front of the washer broke meaning it was practically useless since I could no longer attach a hose to it. Because this is a proprietary part, you cannot purchase a replacement at your local hardware store and instead are stuck buying the same cheap and fragile part from Karcher. Although this is the only thing that has broken on me thus far, over time this thing will begin falling apart due to the ridiculously cheap construction, and for $230, that is unacceptable. There are plenty of well-built pressure washers on the market for the same price.
Next, the machine does a decent job at washing cars, the pressure is strong enough to remove dirt but I would definitely like it to be at least 25% more powerful for quick rinsing. As for foam cannons, I could not get a thick foam out of this, I think the PSI is to low. Also, I had to buy an attachment in order to use a foam cannon because everything is Karcher proprietary. The motor also sounds as if it is running very efficiently and seems as if the motor itself will last. However, this is useless if the rest of the machine is falling apart around it.
Overall, the Karcher K5 Premium is a decent washer, not great for auto detailing, but maybe for around the house cleaning it will do the job. Cheaply made and expensive to replace parts. Expect this to last you no longer than a year without breaking parts. Stay away from this and look into the competitors. For car washing, check out the Adams Polishes Pressure Washer 2.0
The pressure washer runs only while the trigger is depressed and it runs relatively quietly.
The purpose of this review is to tell you about Karcher’s amazing customer service. The washer developed a leak in the pump. Since it’s been 9 months since the purchase date, I thought I was screwed. I contacted Karcher and they instructed me to send them a copy of the original receipt and the serial number tag. I did and a week later I had a new K5!!!!!
Customer service is alive and well and it lives at Karcher!!!! I’m a customer for life.
Assembled easily and works as week as expected.
Only gripe I have is the length of the hose. Would be nice if it was 5-10 feet longer.
The hose spool is nice, and makes coiling the hose so easy.
The Ground Fault plug is somewhat of a nuisance.. you need to reset it every time you plug it in, but it’s a safety feature.. because water and electricity don’t mix well
I ended up borrowing my neighbors gas powered Honda. I learned my lesson here...if you’re one the fence, get a gas powered proper motor.
