I’m using my surface cleaner with the K1700 model. It works really good and definitely saves time doing large areas. However I find it is kinda lightweight, could be a little heavier to stay down better.It lifts easily.The handle could be longer too. Hard on your back after a while.
Works better than expected but hard to find nozzles for. I damaged the spray nozzles under the unit and can't find replacements. I don't want to buy another Karcher Surface Cleaner unless there are spare parts available. I may have to go with a different brand now.
I bought this over 3 years ago with the K1800. I have had nothing but great results. I was very surprised at how well it cleans concrete and siding. I just replaced one O-ring, it was starting to leak around the water inlet.
Ordered this surface cleaning attachment for my Karcher 2k pressure washer...worked good for five minutes then the black spinning wand underneath split cause loss of pressure.
We bought the pressure washer several months ago, used first time yesterday to wash our patio and driveway. The fitting for the hose was put together incorrectly by the factory and leaked badly. Once we got that solved and reassembled correctly, the 11" surface cleaner worked wonderfully for about an hour and then the plastic tube that spins the nozzles cracked and the accessory was useless. Finished the job with the turbo nozzle which works fine but takes soooo much longer. The pressure washer is great so far (having only used it once, hope it lasts longer than the surface cleaner accessory did). Although a longer wand would make it easier on the back to use, I recommend the pressure washer but our experience matches the majority of the other reviews--there is a manufacturer defect with the accessory. Unfortunately for us it is well beyond the 90-day warranty period for that part but seems Karcher could replace it for everyone whose broke on the first use. Sorry to see we can't even get the replacement part as it shows Out of Stock but maybe they are all bad anyway so not worth the cost to replace it?
I received this as a gift so I guess I shouldn't complain......but: worked nicely for about an hour, then stopped spinning. I discovered that it had a hairline crack near the hub of the spinner. This means water spews out through the crack so that the pressure of what still goes to the arms of the spinner is not sufficient to produce motion. And without motion it's worse than worthless because the washing that does take place is limited to narrow streaks.
This attachment is awesome. Cuts my cleaning time in half. I have a 4 car drive way, and use to take me all day to clean it. Now it takes 2 hrs tops..yhats a big differents, LOVE I T!!
