Review: It's a keeper! - This little pressure washer is a champion, weighing in at only 12 pounds, it sure gets the job done. We used it to clean a 36 foot fiberglass sailboat ⛵️ and it performed just fine. For those interested in purchasing a new Karcher K3, the instructions mention using a water filter between the water supply and the water pump intake. Apparently, dirt and heavy mineralized water is a certain early death for the pressure washer's water pump. So, we used a flexible hose connector, a water pressure regulator, a RV water filter, and a hard (not a flexible-expanding) garden hose to connect to the pressure washer and it did just great. After finishing the sailboat ⛵️ we purchased several K3 compatible accessories for getting work done at home, like a 15 meter hose, hose connector, foam cannon, extension wands, and spray fittings and some different nozzles for cleaning automobiles, sheet metal gutters, and concrete. My wife really enjoyed using the pressure washer, for PPE, we both wore eye protection and gloves. If you take of your stuff, this little champ should last many years. The K3 is manufactured in Germany.
Review: Absolute Junk - This review is for the Karcher K3 Power Control. Short: Find something else to buy. Absolute junk. Long: I purchased this to replace a K3 pull behind that lasted about 10 uses over 2 years. The inside of that unit cracked on a plastic part and was no longer usable. Since I also had attachments in the Karcher line, I decided to give them another chance and picked up this unit. desertcart shipped it quickly and it arrived in good shape - no issues with desertcart. The K3 comes with a quick connect hose adapter and it must be used to connect. It constantly detaches from the unit because it cannot hold up to the pressure from the hose. It did not last 10 minutes and detaches consistently while in use. If you have to move the unit, forget about it. The rest of the unit is cheap plastic and will surely give out in an unreasonably short period of time. Buy something else or light your money on fire. Both are better options than the K3.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The return of German quality
*by W***E on August 10, 2024*

I bought this to replace a Kärcher Special I bought at a local big-box store 30 years ago. I loved that old pressure washer, but it was getting hard to keep going -- corrosion and erosion at the pump outlet, which I fixed by machining down the casting at the pressure hose connection (most people won't have that capability) but finally, the very unique overload-protection power switch failed, and they're no longer available. This new unit, 30 years later, actually cost less than I paid for that old Kärcher Special. It is lighter, more portable, has better ergonomics, and develops higher pressure. It even takes the special attachments I accumulated for the old one (wet sandblasting wand, for example). At first I missed the old unit, out of nostalgia, but this is a vast improvement. Very happy I got it. Note that there are several K3 models. If it matters to you, check carefully where they are made. This upright model is made in Germany. The follow-me-around, skateboard version is made in China. Kärcher has a table on one of their web sites stating where the units are made -- Germany, Italy, or China. Buy this and you will go nuts, spending hours blasting everything in sight -- your own property and the neighbors'. The sidewalk, the house, the deck, the gutters, glass, the car, the neighbor's dog... we think the hair will grow back.
