Karcher K 3.48 M Plus 1,800 PSI 1.5 GPM Electric Pressure Washer With 25-Foot Hose

Karcher’s award-winning, German-engineered K3 series of pressure washers offers premium performance and durability. The Karcher K 3.48 M Plus 1,800 PSI 1.5 GPM Electric Pressure Washer With 25-Foot Hose employs Karcher’s patented pump technology and a powerful maintenance-free induction motor that lasts up to three times longer. Equipped with two spray wands, the K 3.48 M is able to tackle any cleaning project around the home. For tough jobs, attach the included DirtBlaster Spray Wand to increase the effective pressure by up to 50%. For less intense cleaning, attach the included Vario Power Spray (VPS) Wand, which allows you to adjust the pressure right on the wand. The trigger gun features a total stop function, meaning the motor only runs while your spray, reducing noise and power consumption. The trigger gun also includes a child safety lock. The K 3.48 M comes equipped with an onboard detergent tank that makes cleaning a snap. Simply fill the tank with pressure washer detergent, select the low pressure setting on the VPS wand and begin spraying. It’s that easy. Karcher recommends using the SoapPac line of detergents with the K 3.48 M. This model is also compatible with a wide variety of Karcher accessories, including the Deck and Driveway Cleaner, Rotating Wash Brush, Wheel Rim Brush and more. The K 3.48 M features an upright ergonomic design with a handle and wheels for easy maneuvering. It takes up very little storage space thanks to the integrated accessory holder. You can even draw water from a standing source such as bucket or pond, a feature that comes in handy when a water faucet isn’t available (requires optional Water Suction Hose). Karcher is the world’s largest manufacturer of pressure washers and the #1 brand for commercial pressure washers. Headquartered in Germany, the company invests heavily in research and development, currently holding more than 350 patents. Technical Specs: 1800 PSI, 1.5 GPM, 35ft. Power Cord, 25ft. High-Pressure Hose, 120 V / 60 H

Pros
- Assembling the unit is simple and I did not even nead the diagram.
- The hose was simple to attach- It has an O-ring so push it gently into the base of the pressure washer before trying to thread the hose into the unit.
- This pressure washer is great for cleaning the siding, makes the deck look like new and cleaning up the patio furniture.
- Both the electrical cord and hose are very long so you are not constantly moving the washer.
- Both the cord and hose store nicely over the handle of the unit.
- Great unit and an excellent value.

Cons
- The trigger gun is suppose to just “click” into the pressure hose, but there simply is no real connection and the trigger gun just leaks water all over the place, I tried time and time again to get it to work.
- The directions just say insert the trigger gun into the hose and “click,” but some mechanism within the gun that connects the gun to the hose must have broken–and I just took it out of the box–so I never even had the chance to use it.
- Heavy construction.
