Inexpensive Karcher with rich equipment

Despite the fact that the Karcher K 3 Car & Home sink belongs to the Karhcer household series and is not professional equipment, it has a decent quality. Many of its characteristics indicate that it is not "cheap". For example, the body of the device is made of high-impact composite, not conventional plastic. In addition, the hose is protected from kinks at the ends to reduce the risk of damage to the most vulnerable points during improper use. However, in order to reduce the cost of construction, the manufacturer uses a controversial solution - a pump with a plastic case. However, reviews of Karcher sinks show that during normal household use, this part works for a long time and without any special technical problems.

Advantages and disadvantages

This device has a power of 1600 W and is able to use up to 380 liters of water per hour. The main nozzle - Vario Power - allows you to adjust the water pressure in the range from 20 bar to 120 bar. However, the mud nozzle does not have a pressure adjustment function. It forms rotating jets that perfectly clean dense and dried dirt. But that's not all this tool can do. The word "Car" in the name of the kit indicates the presence of a washing brush for the car, and the word "Home" indicates the presence of the Patio attachment for convenient cleaning of large flat surfaces such as verandas, terraces and paths. The machine has a built-in detergent tank. To spray soapy water, it is recommended to use a jet nozzle in low pressure mode, and to form a thick foam, use the foam gun, which is also included in the kit. The manufacturer provided samples of branded chemicals in the box with the device: 0.5 liters of car shampoo and 0.5 liters of washing liquid for balconies and terraces.

However, the Karcher K 3 Car & Home has a few drawbacks. First, it cannot be used with barrels and water tanks, as it only works when connected to a water supply or pump. Secondly, her hose is quite rigid and can curl up into a ring. Because of this, it is not possible to move the entire length of the hose (6 m) during operation without pulling the light 7 kg machine along with you.

Functions and tasks of the miniwash Karcher K 3 Car & Home

Thanks to a wide range of nozzles for different tasks, the Karcher K 3 Car & Home minisink is a versatile tool for cleaning in the house and garage. With it, you can clean a car, clean concrete paths or paving stones from moss and mold, wash garden tools and a lawn mower, or freshen up a carpet with special cleaners without resorting to dry cleaning.
