Slow down using the patio cleaner. It’s more effective using long, steady, slow strokes. Even the wand, slow down. It’s not a job you can rush. As someone else pointed out, using the wand first for heavy build up and then yearly or every six months the patio cleaner manages an impressive clean independently. Karcher also make a foam cannon for car cleaning. Spray the foam on, then blast it off. Works really well.
@PeakPerformanceReviews4 жыл бұрын
I did slow down afterwards, it was only for the camera, as I played with it more I realised what was more effective. I do now have the foam cannon too and it’s great 👍 thanks for watching and for the feedback I always appreciate any good comments.

Just been using one of these today to remove some ivy from a brick wall after removing the main part,the K2 worked like a dream using the power lance,would have been really hard work otherwise.My friend,whose wall it was,stood amazed at the results,perfectly clean wall after the power blast.But a word of caution,do a test first to make sure no damage is caused to the wall as can happen with old bricks.

Can I just add that despite what Karcher says about the K2 You CAN use this by drawing water from a bucket or water butt too. That is how i normally use mine as more convenient for me. Just an idea as well if you want to take this to a car show and run it off a car connection to blast and travel dust etc off the car.

Don’t listen what some people say they are mega, if you ever have a problem and it continues to run it’s normally just an air lock. Turning the power off then pulling trigger for a bit normally sorts it, or take (turn off first) Lance part off of the front and then turn back on and let it pump for a bit. It’s often an air lock or a little bit of grit etc. Mains been amazing for ages now and I use it for ages 🙌
