Did not disappoint ! Bought this to clean my half block street/curb area that between the massive fir needle drop and the neighbor's maple leaves had creaed a potential hazard area ( slick and thick). It took some time but the results were outstanding - took several passes to get down to bare pavement but the magic machine was worth its weight in gold ! Raking and sweeping are no longer an option for me and so a big thank you to Karcher for a well built and well engineered product. Ordered the heavier duty brushes for wet/heavy use but the regular brushes that come with the machine worked just fine even though the needles and leaves were halfway between wet and dry. Just amazing !!!
I bought this for my garage. It does not pick up dried leaves. It does a decent job of picking up small items like rocks and does great with dust. It struggles to get the leaves and bigger items into the bin.
not well built does not sweep up grass clippings very well have to keep opening the container to get grass away from brush.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Kärcher Customer, thanks for sharing your experience. May we suggest a pair of wet brushes (https://www.kaercher.com/us/accessory/s4-side-brushes-for-wet-cleaning-26440320.html) to help pick up items that are heavier and clumping together due to being wet?

We bought the S 4 to use on a carpeted Preschool gym floor to pick up debris tracked in from the playground. Works well between vacuuming. Only picks up when going forward.
Very impressed with this product. There would be just a couple of changes I’d make to the design to make it better, but overall I’ve happy. The size is great for sidewalks but for the street I would have been better off with the larger model. I live in a new community so there’s always dirt & trash in the street. Now I don’t have to touch it or blow it around. My street has never looked better! My neighbors think it’s pretty slick.
Bought his to replace an older rusted model The brushes come off constatly and one of the brushes does not move well and the pulley sustem on one side moves poorly. For the price I would have expected more Theu are sending more brushes but I am doubtful it will correct the problem
