Yes, I know I'm pronouncing it wrong.
This is a test of the few Kärchers that I actually have the fittings for. The rest of the pressure washers will be tested once I have fittings that allow me to get pressure readings.

The issue with air may be because you are trying to prime it without a nozzle on the end. the reason why this is a thing is the Soap injectors are venturi based, so when there is no back pressure, the soap injector is injecting air or soap into the line. I have tested this myself with a much older K2 i have, which has said soap injector. Using the wand without a nozzle (has a gentle 40 degree or so unrestricted spray built in) results in soap or air. As soon as i put a restriction on the wand like a proper nozzle or my Bowdens Foam Cannon, the air bleeds out then stops within seconds, even on some 12.5 meters of hose. What you should do, is leave the nozzle on for priming the high pressure hose, and make sure the inlet line is fully primed, then turn her on and just let her run, she will sort herself out decently fast. The other thing you could do is simply fill the soap tank with water so it doesnt suck air.

[@njakts]

[@ObsessedGarage]

I did it both ways. These took 5 minutes to clear the air out.

[@brentcory8194]

I just bought the K1700 because of this review....thanks Matt! Yes the air can be an issue. What I do before I turn the power on is, I take a strap of velcro I use to keep the high pressure hose together, & wrap it around the trigger of the gun letting the water run while I get all my other crap together & filled. Usually gives me a few minutes of letting the water run.

[@CVM222VOLT]

While shopping for a fairly basic preasure washer to wash cars, I have watched dozens of reviews. Has been so frustrating when they say "feels like it is giving the preasure advertised" or " you can just tell it is as powerfull as they promised" All I could think about is how easy it would be to test and confirm they perform as their spec sheets promote.. Sir, you are a prayer answered and I only wished Iwould have found this video series before I flipped a coin to make my purchase. I am inspired to watch all your test and buy another with some feeling that I will now know just what I will be getting.. Thank you for your efforts in this video series.

We don’t have those Cube models in the UK. Never seen them before. I’ve always had Karcher since I bought my first one in the early 90’s. In that 25+ years I’ve had 3. My current 6.8 is over 10 years old. I’ve had it that long I can’t remember when I got it. It used to be the case that the K5 onwards (if memory serves) used a different spec motor with all metal parts rather than some plastic components that the K2’s etc had. So the higher number models were very reliable. I’ve read on a forum recently that Karchers aren’t what they once were and made in China now. I’ve never had a problem with them and my pretty ancient 6.8 is still going strong. It’s been used pretty much every week it’s whole life. I’ve been waiting for it to go so I can try something else but it won’t break! In the UK it’s Kranzle, Karcher and Nilfisk that appear to be the ones that are the most popular with detailing enthusiasts.

[@CrazyBikerGuy]

Turbo nozzle is a pencil jet that is then spun in a clockwise fashion to create a larger area but without losing any of the power of the pencil. That's why you must be careful when using a turbo nozzle. Turbo are great for tractors and other 3in thick mud and stuff but I wouldn't recommend using on body although it won't hurt it if the paint is still good but it's quite tough on the paint.

I am pretty sure Kartcher (SP?) is the company that makes the pressure washer machines for Simoniz. If so, the connector on the reel is M14 if memory serves. I did not try to find an adaptor for it, I just used a M22-14 to M22-15 and added a second 30 feet hose as an extension. If you can find a M14 to M22-14 that would be amazing. Been waiting for this part of the test since you started, really happy you got to it. Eager to see the charts once you are done with the testing.

Waiting for the K4, K5 and K7 video. Thanks Matt for the great work 👍🏻

[@SWAGURA]

k7 is UK spec so you cant simply plug it into an USA outlet.

[@aaoaaa]

True, a good amount of Matt fans and customers live outside the US, including myself. Also, if you are truly after the GPM (2.6 for the K7) the 220v is the way to go. You will need an electricity converter box for that to work in the US (approx $70-90)

[@SWAGURA]

@@aaoaaa transformers will burn the motor faster and importing the unit is a pain in itself.

[@aaoaaa]

@Swagura Mutsuki - Telling you from first hand experience it wont. I imported my K7 from Dubai and it was super smooth. Also, I imported high end coffee shop coffee machine with double boilers to the US when I was in the US few years ago and they use 220v and require very high watts due to the heating process. I got a quality electricity converter and it worked flawlessly for years without issues

The reason why you have an issue with air is that its pulling air from the soap tank, I fill mine with a splash of water and it takes 10 seconds to get the air out of the line.

Really interested to see what system you develop for the k4 if you do. I’ll buy for sure if it can get me the thicker foam. I’m from Trinidad in the Caribbean so I don’t have a wide range of parts available locally to test. Ordering untested parts online can get pretty pricey if they don’t work as advertised. Your testing is giving me a lot of valuable info.

I did that for 5 straight minutes with then without the nozzle.

[@secrethandlehuhu]

The k1900-2000 uses a induction motor instead of universal like all the other pressure washer which is more complex, heavy, and theoretically more durable. It’s supposed to be quieter too but guess not for those models. It’s the equivalent to the brushless motors u tested before. When I was scouting out pressure washers, the k5 Has a water cooled induction motor so that should be very quiet so I’m interested to see if it’s true.

[@SWAGURA]

k4 and up have way better pumps, but the uk version of trhe k series pout out way more gpm, the uk K4 puts out 2.4 gpm(box rating).

I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that there’s a solution to the crappy connection on the K5 hose.

I know this is okder but still very relevant. I very much as well appreciate this Why not find a shell u like, buy motors and find good electronics and put ur own together, 2 entry-level models and 2 professional models.

[@KC-km6of]

Matt, just found your channel and have been watching intently. Just ordered the K1700 Cube for washing the cars and light jobs around the house. At 6:52, you mention 3.0 1000 psi. What does the 3.0 nozzle represent? Is this related to the tip in the gun you have attached? Also, when do you think you will have the accessories up for the Karchers? Thanks for all you are doing. Dream job - playing with guy toys and helping other car guys at that same time. Bravo!

[@ObsessedGarage]

3.0 is the size of hole in the nozzle. The smaller the number, the more pressure. All Karchers are done except K2, K3, K4, and K5.

[@KC-km6of]

@@ObsessedGarage Thanks, I thought so as I related this to tips in an airless sprayer.

[@StreetDreamzTT]

My k4 takes about 15 seconds to clear the air in the system. The dealer told me to let it run for 30sec to clear it or longer if it still has but never had to go longer.

[@CFArmouredCrewman]

I picked up a K1700 Cube locally today and paired it with my MTM Premium 1 Pro Kit. I didn't get anywhere near as nice of foam as you did on the PF22 with the 1.1 (Chemical guys Honeydew with approx 60ml in the bottle with warm water). However I also noticed when I hit the trigger there is a big "lag" right after the initial spurt before the pressure gets up so I'm suspecting an inlet issue first (using Gardena hose and fittings). I'll test with a short 5/8 leader hose direct to the K1700 and see if that solves it and also try more soap. Otherwise it is a nice little unit and would fit on a shelf great though that foot pedal is handy! So nice to see the outlet is standard.

It would be great if you could sometime down the line could test "Nilfisk's" pressure washers if that is something you could get your hands on in the US. They have a very big lineup of washers from very cheap to very expensive. It would be very helpful to have someone like you test their lineup and find out what is worth it and whats not. They are at least pretty big here in Norway, and I would guess also in Europe.

I purchased a K1900 in 2018 and within a short period of time the machine locked up and I couldn't get any water to come out of the nozzle. After many attempts at undoing the hoses, etc. the company sent me a new unit under warranty. The new unit, which I received in 2019, acted the same way. It would lock up all the time like a vapor lock in the hose and sometime the motor would not kick on. Probably on used this machine 6 or 8 times before it froze up for good. Poor quality machine in my opinion. Roy Ortolon

So I have the k4. Had to get the adapter for my amazon canon. I’m new to the foaming game. I still don’t get thick foam like what you are getting but I’m still playing with my mixtures. I thought at first it was because of the psi being too low (k4 1800psi) but I see you are getting great foam with the same. Side note, my drive way is small but the rotating head that comes with the k4 cleaned it well lol. The foam I get is rich but not shaving cream type like you get. Do you think it’s the gun itself?

[@ObsessedGarage]

First issue is your crappy foam cannon. Second is it probably has the wrong sized orifice.

I know you would retest but it seems like the initial start is different for every model from each brand. I wonder what the GPM would be if you started each one for 5 seconds and then put it in the bucket to given them an even playing field. You could have also used an in-line flow meter but I know those are expensive. I don’t think the difference would be huge but I think these models would have slightly higher GPM if not for the weird start up. A couple seconds could mean .05 of a difference.

Debating on a 1700 vs a 1900... the induction motor / triplex pump in the 1900 should, in theory last at lease twice as long as the universal in the 1700 correct? My thought is the 1700 has better flow but at the cost of needing replaced every couple years at most where the 1900 should last at least a decade or more for less than twice the cost of the 1700? And just for fun, I have a lathe and made several custom foam cannon nozzles from 0.8mm to 1.2mm and didn't notice any difference in foam using any of the sizes but with the smaller orifice the pressure washer sounded like it was struggling, a lot. I settled on 1.05mm as the machine didn't sound like it was working so hard. Maybe the washer I currently have just isn't really up to the task. Several nozzles, soaps, concentrations... no real discernible difference . I've never got foam like in this vid.

Ill be picking up a 1700 and upgrading everything but the unit itself. Now I just have to decide if I want the cube or the one with wheels.

[@gyeoxn7815]

Which did you get?

@@johnnelwhite ah, thinking of getting the one with wheels

[@simonkatz1222]

Whats the best value pressure washer for car washing?

What upgrades do you recommend to a stock 1700 cube?

[@bbunztran]

So is the k1700 the way to go?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think so.

[@oraclerabbit]

Did you add the quick release to the wand on the 1900? All the 1900 models I've seen screw together.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yes, 1900 works well with QDs.

What is the advantage of use if that inlet hose? Think I have a pritty good 50ft hose that I can use for the inlet if it fits. At the end of the day a hose is a hose right?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm don't think you are asking the correct question. You'd need a shorter hose if you didn't want to lug out an entire 50ft. hose.

Its pronounced like Kercher :P, but i assume these are good, since its german and theyre very popular in europe. I was planning on getting one of these, but i will await your test results and how they compare prize, quality and spec wise to the Kranzle.
