Karcher 3600psi 4gpm
I have had a 2400psi, 2.5gpm Karcher unit for about 2 years. It has seen a lot of use and been very reliable.
Recently bought a 3600psi, 4gpm Karcher unit. It is amazing! What used to take 2+ hrs to clean gets done in 30 min.
I terms of reliability, I have not had the unit long enough to comment.

I must confess that I do not use the hose reel and so can't comment on its leaking. I don't feel that the reel is necessary or needed. I just roll the hose after use and hang it on the hooks on the side of the unit designed for that purpose.
As for not being able to fix a flat tire...

Good for a thousand uses
In the words of Tim "Tool Time" Taylor, "you can't have enough power!"I like this equipment alot.The six color coded quick release nozzles accomendate any job.I use it (water only) to clean my Trek deck, outdoor furniture and to make my stockade fence and wood shed look new again.It saved us days of labor when getting old paint off a cedar shingles prior to preparing for new paint.This item is POWERFULL.If not used correctly, it'll tear the shingles (or siding) right off the house.There is also a in-flow regulator to adjust for inconsistant water supply.The hose reel and handle are easily removed to allow this equipment to be transported upright inside a compact SUV. Auto shutoff on low oil. Large gas tank. An EXCELLENT tool.

Karcher Pressure Washer
This is an addendum to the review I wrote on 5/9/2003. I disassembled the hose reel to attempt to see why it was leaking so vigorously (and has leaked since the day it came home). The way the pressurized water or chemical is transferred to the reel involves a couple of ten cent O-rings on either side of a manifold and these were dried out and brittle. ...

Great once you get it going
We just received our Karcher...the box looked like it had been opened and re-taped shut.There wasn't an owner's manual for the pressure washer...only for the engine.There weren't any nozzles (renders the thing useless).I called Karcher and they immediately sent the missing parts (by pony express, they arrived 10 days later).

Neither the owners manual NOR the engine manual match the actual engine.There are 2 places to add oil (use the grey with the dip stick, it is easier).The choke is the push/pull wire lever on the OHV side of the engine.

Now that the ugly stuff is out of the way, once you have loaded the oil and the gas, set the choke, throttle, etc.just pull the cord and let her rip.This has to be the easiest starting recoil engine that I have ever used (I am a female, 5'2").One pull and she goes.The pressure is excellent and adjustable.

I added a quick connect for the supply water hose as I found that I was losing the skin on my knuckle otherwise.

If all of the parts had arrived together, the machine wasn't scuffed up, and the manuals actually matched the machine I would have rated this a 5.

Impressive Piece of Machinery
I purchased this washer for ~$500.It arrived approximately one week after placing the order.

This is a well-engineered product.It assembled quite easily.It starts easily (every time on the first pull if you follow directions).The engine is surprisingly quiet for 6 1/2 hp.The unit rolls easily on large pneumatic tires, the spray tips change easily, and it has one powerful spray!It can easily strip oil stain off cedar shake shingles, blast deep-rooted grass and weeds out of cracks in asphalt, strip paint, and remove moss, stains and mold from asbestos shingles.The cleaning speed and effectiveness compares favorably with industrial units I have rented.This is more than your average homeowner pressure washer.

Now the minor gripes:

- The unit came in a large box with no packing material; the box looked like it had been opened and taped/stapled shut.The box was partially crushed and some of the yellow paint had warn off onto the cardboard due to rubbing during shipping.Fortunately there was no damage to the unit other than a little missing paint.

- The 30' high-pressure hose is fairly stiff and doesn't coil easily.The addition of some twist couplings at each end would be welcome.In practical applications, 30' is usually long enough, although it seems you could always use a few more feet.

- There are two oil fill openings on the engine.It is unclear which opening should be filled until almost overflowing, as directed in the instructions (it's the lower one -- be sure to find both before filling).

- Engine controls are straightforward once you get used to them, but poorly marked.The correct choke, throttle, on/off switch, and fuel valve positions need to be memorized, because, at best, you are provided with very small symbols or letters stamped, in black, into a black surface.Nevertheless, the engine performance is impressive.

- Directions are adequate provided you read carefully.In an instance or two, it seems like they were written for an earlier model; engine controls are not quite as described in the instructions.

As I said, these gripes are minor compared to the quality and power of this unit.As of this writing, I have used it 3 times for a total of about 90 minutes.

How to start the Tecumseh easier
I read some of the reviews about hard starting, and mine experienced the same thing.Here's what I found that works:
Pump the primer bulb 5-6 times if it hasn't been run in a while.Set the throttle on high, and give the starter a pull.It will typically start right up on the first or second pull, but then die like others mentioned.The trick is to press the primer bulb again when it sputters to keep it running.It might take 2-3 presses on the primer bulb over the first 30 seconds of running, but then it stays running and runs great.

KARCHER G2301LT WASHER
I received this washer today and had the unit unboxed and assembled within 5-6 minutes. The washer started very easily and did a great job washing my house siding (vinyl), garage door and my deck. The washer did come with an upgraded wand(stainless steel with adjustable nozzle)which made it easy to use on all the different surfaces. I was very impressed with the portability, ease of starting and cleaning power of this machine.I would recommend this unit to anyone needing a great pressure washer for home use.

Great Value, But.........
This item originally arrived badly damaged - no protective packing material in the carton at all, so I initiated a return.
The same day I spotted the same machine at Costco with a Honda engine, which I prefer. I bought it, and even though the Honda is 5hp, it has a slightly higher psi rating.
Amazon was quick to answer my email, and even called immediatly, but it took over a month to credit my debit card!
ANYWAY, the washer works great, the nozzle quick connects are a nice feature, and it has enough power for anything I've tried around the house so far. ... Read more

Purchased for aFather's Day Gift
I gave this to my husband as a father's day gift from the dog, and my husband has loved it.He says he likes the 2-year warranty, the directions were easy to follow, there was a minimal amount of assembly, and there is a storage tray.He also says that what impressed him was when he took it out of the box and put in oil and gas, it started up on the first try.He says the tires are a tad small but likes the semi-pneumatic tires(whatever that means).He also says the construction of the frame is sturdy and was thought out well when designed.He recommends this as a great first power pressure washer for use around the house.Definitely a great guy toy to give or to buy for yourself...We have the cleanest driveway on the block.

G2400HH by Karcher - may not be new.
I received my first unit with some gas in the tank, some oil all over the inside of the box and a bad feeling that this was someones elses return. The replacement came the same way! I received a nice E Mail that the units are tested before shipping, this may be true, but if so they are also assembling the handles and then taking them apart as well. MIght be OK for a reconditioned unit, but I have yet to receive a new one.

Terrible Product
This is the worst tool I have ever purchased -- Period. Customer service from Karcher is terrible, but at least the authorized service center has been helpful.Should you even be visiting a service center for a product used only twice?

You are led to believe this pressure washer carries a two year warranty; however, the pump is only warrantied for 90 days...and the pump is the sole source of problems you will likely encounter.Bottom line, I think I'll take the Honda engine off and make my son a go-cart with it.

Disaster
The only good thing I have to say is that the unit arrived on the expected date, other than that, it's been terrible, first the top scews in the handle would'nt line up, had to screw in the top screws crooked, then after following all proper procedures for running, the unit just would'nt start, it has no primer button either,figuring it was new, I persisted on, I finally got it to start, then it would'nt stay started, and had no pressure, now the nightmare begins, amazon won't take it back, an oil and gas issue, had to call the manufacturer, was told he could'nt take it back either, they gave me the closest service center, folks, this is'nt a craftsman so be prepared for a drive, fortunately they we're polite and professional and offer to fix or replace the unit, 110 mile round trip into Houston at rush hour, should have bought a Craftsman. ...

Karcher 2400HH
Just purchased the 2400hh at Costco. Tried it right away and was very impressed.No problems at start up or during use.I don't use pressure washers very often, but I can tell you that I have used a much more expensive Landa washer with a much higher hp rating and I could not tell much difference in performance.All the complaining about the oil fill is over-rated.I recommend this product, specially at this price point.Maintenance Supervisor in California.

Some Design Problems now Fixed
After using the product for a number of weeks I am generally very satisfied with its performance.It appears that Karcher has addressed a number of the previous gripes.The tip holder now works great and the wand holder is not a problem.Adding oil is not a problem with the right funnel (your generic funnel won't work).I really like the 50' of hose, this feature with the accessories helped guide my decision.Honda engine runs flawlessly and is quieter than other Brigs or Techum engines.I don't know about the repairs available from a karcher service centers, however I was able to find several in my area by using Karchers web site. (In the event I need a repair)I was hesitant after reading the reviews about buying this but now I am glad I did.

Best price excellent machine
I shopped Home Depot and BJ's comparing this washer with the Honda line Home Depot carries. For the price of $299. compared to $420. (Home depot model) you can not beat this machine. I ran it ALL day the first day I had it it works beautiful!! Plenty of power, and constant pressure. Spending another $ 100. for the "Home Depot" model would have been a waste! Good luck ...
