Like many other reviewers here, we also found it leaked as well after minimal use. We took the front off it and discovered the connection from the lance to the pump are not compatible. The lance connection is a push on design and the outlet from the pump is threaded. The two are held together by a metal U shape pin!!! Obviously this flimsy design is never going to work with water under pressure. This is our second Karcher in 3 years and now having seen how it is made, I am off to buy a Stihl Pressure washer as they are more robust, but a little more expensive!
