11" Surface Cleaner

5 stars despite a minor but easily fixed problem. After 5 minutes use the cleaner was not as effective and the photos show why. A small piece of plastic “swarf” had blocked one of the white nozzles orifice. After removing the two retaining clips/nozzles/”O” rings I connected the surface cleaner to the pressure washer and pulled the gun trigger to flush any other bits of “swarf” out of the pipework. The piece of swarf* sticking out of the nozzle was cut off and the nozzle blown through with compressed air to eject the remaining swarf* out of the back of the nozzle (* the two black bits in front of the right hand “O” ring) If I had not had compressed air to use I would have tried to vacuum out the the nozzle rather than poking the swarf out with a pin and possibly damaging the nozzle. So, if you buy this surface cleaner, you may want to consider removing the two retaining clips/nozzles/”O” rings and flushing the pipe work before you first use the cleaner.

Picked one of these up on a Prime Day deal. I'd read a bunch of mixed opinions, so here's my observations. The device works great, makes the work area much less messy & contains possibilities of damaging nearby objects re tearing up edges of your lawn or spraying dirt / rocks. On the other hand, it produces a lot of standing water in the work area so you'll need to spray off the aftermath once you're finished unless the area is tilted and will drain away on its own. Regardless, some form of secondary rinse is probably needed. It covers more area while cleaning, but takes a bit longer to remove some of the trickier spots--so if you're taller like me, I like to sit on a fold up step stool (Cosco one I also purchased here) to allow it the patience needed to clean thoroughly. Some people mentioned a need to move the head in specific directions to make it easier. If it's not essentially levitating from adequate water pressure, you need to fix your connections. It has a metal mesh filter inside the quick connect nub to keep the nozzles from getting debris in them, and likely to restrict the pressure for those who ignore the PSI limits in its specs. If pressure is too low, I would describe the symptoms in lessening degrees as: - easier to move in certain directions - spraying but not rotating - shutting off completely Best way to resolve this is to tweak connections and water volume until you get consistent strong flow from the wand itself, then connect the rest of the pieces. My next area to clean is not level (concrete driveway / apron), so I'm looking forward to an even better experience next! Yes, the device is virtually all plastic but that also makes it light and non-fatiguing. But it also means being careless with it and trapping solid objects like rocks or debris inside will likely break it very quickly--but in that case you've written your own ticket. Very happy with this device's performance for the price, and its engineered design elements that ensure your washer is producing intended pressure levels. I will update as I use it on a wider variety of surfaces or if any reliability issues arise. If anyone wonders what its metal clip is for, it's a handy storage feature for hanging on a edge portion of your pressure washer!

I love Karcher equipment and tihs surface cleaner is a must have for those who powerwash larger areas. it is easy to connect and makes efficient work of washing driveways and patios as it cleans a larger surface area with each sweep. It is lightweight which is good since I am a small person. It cleans well and it easy to maneuver across larger surfaces. No leakage! Has a good spray volume and with the brushes does a thorough job.

Faulty (damaged) product, returned for a full refund. Happy with the outcome.
