Thread: Karcher PRO High Pres. Cleaners

For that price I would probably buy a spit water they are a pretty good pressure washer from what I understand we use them in the mines and they cop a flogging and handle it.

I bought the highest level before the commercial range, a K6 I think it is,...cost me about $8/900 & works well.
Pickles.

Hi Mark, I was looking at these myself. I think the smallest of the pro range is $1k. I spoke to a lot about the Karcher range (and Gerni, Lavor etc).

A mate has had a little domestic Karcher for many years and has been great, but when I spoke to the local repair agent, he said they (the domestic) range not what they use to be. None of the brands are (they actually dropped Gerni) He said the pro range are much better built and will last much longer.

Dont forget that Bunnings has a few models in the domestic range made just for them, so you cant price war those against anyone else. They also carry a few of the Pro range so you might be able to beat them and then get the 10% off??

I have a low but not bottom end Karcher (not pro). And it has not been good. I wouldn't buy another Karcher brand product.

+1 on the Spitwater, and they are Aussie made.

Cheers

Karcher seem to have had a sudden decline in quality. They used to be the ducks nuts. Now it seems you have to spend an absolute fortune to get anything even remotely resembling a quality product.
Gerni seem to be the same story. My money is on the possible fact that they are both built in the same factory. That is, until you start getting into Diesel powered versions.

there is german karcher and chinese karcher, i have the german and parts are readily available from the karcher shop at coopers plains[it was my Dads in Geraldton and apparently the water was very hard]

Sounds like everything these days.....
You can pay this much, and have a product made from manure, or you can pay THIS much, and well, ...... What would you like sir...... may we feed you grapes and fan you with a Palm Tree leaf.....
There seems to be a massive gap between the crap and the good.
