Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The top domestic Karcher pressure washer comes with full accessory storage and a built in trolley giving full mobility. The powerful maximum pressure of 150bar and a water flow rate of 550 litres per hour easily deal with obstinate dirt and stains. Despite its high specifications the unit is still very competitively priced.
Features include the fact that the pressure switch control turns the motor on and off when the trigger gun is opened and closed. This means that the user no longer has to walk back to the machine to switch it off. It helps reduce water and electricity costs and extends the life of the pump. The unit also provides high pressure for powerful cleaning and low pressure for rinsing or gentle-action cleaning and applying cleaning chemicals. A chemical injector from the built in chemical tank enables detergent or shampoo to be picked applied in the low pressure mode, e.g. for the car washing.
Karcher's wide range of accessories (available separately) offer further benefits when used with this unit. The Variable spray lance provides high and low pressure with a simple twist. A built in chemical tank provides detergent in a flash for easy application and thorough cleaning. Long periods of interrupted cleaning are possible with the long 12 metre high pressure hose with a built in hose reel providing tidy, space-saving storage. The car wash brush is included and helps agitate stubborn dirt. Two Karcher clean tabs are also included giving an initial supply of cleaning chemicals straight out of the box.

Bought this just after Christmas after carefully reading up and checking out the usual DIY stores for availability and prices.
I settled on Karcher for few reasons. First of all the price value is great. I checked locally and could not find a pressure washer to better the specification at the price offered. They had a considerable range of accessories (check out their website), and I have seen their service vans around our area so if there was any problems I know it can be sorted locally. I have just used it to clear green moss and slime off my patio. It’s brought it back up to as good as new. The washer has a generous 9 metres of pressure hose so you do not have to work right next to the pump. I have hired other washers before and have found them to be fairly noisy. This model's noise to power ratio is quite good. It’s a lot quieter than the ones I have used previously. The auto stop feature is really useful and saves a lot of water. No need to walk back over to the pump to switch it off. The pump comes with the usual variable power lance, integral and variable dosing detergent tank (nicely on the top of the pump for easy filling). I have also purchased the dirt blaster lance to increase the effectiveness of the cleaning action on patios. It’s worth it in the long run as it speeds up the job tremendously. It also comes with a standard car wash brush (cheap and cheerful). I might purchase the rotary one at latter stage.

I brought my first Karcher pressure washer in Germany in 1992 and it lasted nearly 10 years and was excellent. Then I made the mistake of replacing it with one of the cheaper Karcher washers, which just lacked the necessary pressure to thoroughly clean everything. I got rid of it and brought a K 6.85M and normal service was resumed. If you want a decent pressure washer, with plenty of power, this is the one to buy. I have purchased most of the various accessories over the years and some are better than others. Personally, I think the extension lance, rotary brush and the patio washer are the best. Dilute the cleaning fluid 50/50 with water and it works just as well. Enjoy!

Amazon Verified Purchase
I did a bit of research before I bought. It is worthwhile to get the extra pressure from 6.85 rather than settle for the poxy machines they sell in B&Q and other garden shops. You can always turn the pressure down if it is too much, but if you buy a low pressure machine you can never turn it up higher! This machine is really well built and feels like it will withstand some heavy outdoor use. Take care on the pressure though. I cleaned the sandstone wall at the front of my house and had the pressure on max and I can see now that I took off a layer of the sandstone in parts. So powerful it cuts stone!
Get this and save time cleaning your patio. Also at Amazon it is the same price as machines sold in retail outlets which are much less powerful and solid.

Great machine but questionable longevity
Bought this in May 2005 and have not had one single problem with it until yesterday. Repair may not be an option as it seems to be more than a blown fuse. Read more
