SubscriberNot sure on the models
I have an old (15y) Karcher HD model that is still great
Bought a small one for home new Karcher last year
1 yr later it failed
Bought a Stihl mid range - very happy, good build quality, reasonable price
Can buy spares etc

SupporterI have the smallest karcher you can buy .... There is two models. They look almost the same, but one is chinese crap, the one I bought it made in germany from memory. It comes with the really high pressure wand with a rotating ball type head which is nothing short of brilliant. It will strip the paint from any surface ....
People are always borrowing it, and it's never failed to come back in working condition, which is highly unusual. Usually everything I lend out comes back stuffed. So it can't be too bad

SubscriberI have had a big Ryobi unit for about 10 yrs...heaps of grunt and it gets used weekly sometimes non stop for hours cleaning cement. Its a re badged Italian jobbie with stainless pistons. Wand and hose and fittings are very heavy duty.

SubscriberTo keep them going keep the trigger pressed and turn off at the machine and to turn on operate trigger first...stops pressure switch assembly seizing.

I bought one of these, model 10-100 quite a few years ago and it is brilliant. Simple, no fancy coloured plastic covers, powerful, never needs a break.
The hoses and fittings are high quality and do not kink.
I concur with ozscott in that I try to remember to have my hand on the trigger when I start the motor and always drain the pump uf pressure when I turn it off.

Not the cheapest purchase but been value for money.
They make cheaper and more expensive models and in petrol also.

How's the new one travelling?
After working for Karcher years ago I was all set on buying one of their upper end domestic models but after some research I'm not so sure now.
