Karcher actually also not very reliable nowadays also. Quite easy to leak. The cheap ones lack the lancet options and attachments and the hose is purposely made shorter.

When i decided K4 Basic.
at ioi city mall. the shop personal open the box and test the motor before my payment. in the end. open two boxes also defect.

now i wonder... should i take karcher or not. but heard other brand even worse.

or it is just luck

Actually. In some ways, most brands are also like that. China made anyways.

The other thing is also depending on your care and how often you use it. I don't use it often and i think at some point i realize it started leaking some oil when i used it after quite some period of inactivity. I took it to karcher service center after it failed in glenmarie and they quote me a couple hundred just to fix it. I learned from the net it can be fixed for real cheap but the seals could not be found in Malaysia and karcher refuses to sell it to consumers. Blardy hell. There goes almost 600 bucks.

that's costly. do u know how much bar i need if i wanted to use it to clean stain on my toilet tiles and outdoor wall?

if it wont last long. no point invest in expensive model. then i will consider K2 360. or even below if 100bar can handle what i need.

the sales person told me. K4 with water cooler. advantage is that you may operate it over 30min non stop. normal K3 or below model shall not over 30min non stop running. to prevent over heat.

Thanks

Actually i used before both the 110psi and 100psi ones. It really feels no different for home use. If you are talking about taking mold off paint or trying to get old paint off your wall. That seems to be another story meant for industrial based washers la.

For me, the difference between the cheapest karcher that runs at 100psi and mine that runs at 110psi is really just the accessories. The base model does not have that variopower or something lancet where you can adjust pressure. But i have mine on max anyways most of the time. Both can easily clean mold in between the tiles and also the thin molds on the ground if you point the lancet very close to it. It actually managed to even take off those paint that are on the verge of peeling off as well.

Actually i think you should not run and pressure jets over long periods of time. Usually is 20 minutes to lengthen it's life span. Run time means you keep the jet spraying and not just by keeping it turned on as the motor stops pumping as long as the water does not vacate the unit.

Appreciate your advise. u make my choice from 130 bar drop to 100 bar. haha. i may consider cheaper model. anything wrong. not that hurt.

karcher offer 1yr warranty and bosch is half year. thus. may still take karcher.

Why if buy from GEMFIVE, there is no warranty given for Karcher? Is that we can register ourself at Karcher website for the warranty? how to claim then?

I don't know what you want to do la. But it seems 100 psi is enough for most home use for myself. You only need to consider if the additional accessories is worth buying after the initial purchase as separate or get a more premium set with most of the accessories that you want or might not want included as it might be cheaper that way. That is the only tipping point for me to go to the more expensive unit as they are very evil in that sense to skimp out on the cheap washers.

If it is truly karcher malaysia set. You just need to bring it to Karcher service centre in glenmarie with the proof of purchase and they will honor it. I believe the new karcher shop in Taman Megah owned by CT Hardware also might accept warranty cases but not 100% sure.

I think the most important thing for me is to get the model with self-priming. So you can save a lot of your water bill by using collected rain water

i have one with 120 bars
If the stain can be remove with stain remover. Yes
If the stain can't be remove with stain remover. the Water pressure also can't remove it

I use it to wash car and moss

Last time i bought low-end Black & Decker.

Trust me. YOU DON'T WANT THIS.

ts can look for ar blue clean bc320 or bc410, i am using bc320 since 2011 got less than 400 plus back than, bc410 is around 700 imnm back then. seller claim made in italy. so no idea.

If you plan to use it for a long period of time, better get watercooling. Otherwise you'd have to let it rest awhile after 20mins of using due to the motor overheating.

the one rm2xx

Get a low pressur water

Important to get a model with cooling system. Don't get cheap models that overheat after 20-30 minutes. Most likely the motor will spoil after a few uses. Using marcher 3.5K and still running

Why low? Not High?

because trolololo

Hope someone can clarify.
