Worked fine for a bout 6 times then suddenly sprung a leak internally which i was advised by the retailer that it isnt repairable,this is my 3rd K3,all had the same issue...back to the retailer again to get it replaced.

I had bought that from bunnings for $289. It is used very sparingly - once in 1-3 months and may have used that for 15 times only and now it have all sort of problems. Water is leaking and it is not building pressure - sort of stop start. Unfortunately i had lost the receipt and bunnings said they can’t do anything. So all the money is lost/ wasted.

This is my second Kärcher and both have died just outside of warranty. Both have had the same fault with the pump leaking causing the unit to loose pressure. Both machines had very little use and we’re not worth repairing considering the exorbitant service and parts cost.
I am bitterly disappointed as I thought I was purchasing a quality German made product however I now realise these items are manufactured in China.

Bought a K3 and the motor would not work properly and had no pressure, took it back to the shop and got a replacement unit. New unit worked but the lances had leaks and eventually after a few weeks of use the dirt blaster lance decided to stop working due to the ball bearing inside the nozzle tip eating it's way around the plastic housing causing it to stop rotating.
Looked at buying a new dirt blaster nozzle, $60 for a piece of plastic junk that will fail again, No way.
Decided to throw it off a building from the 3rd level, I got my satisfaction out of it that way, as well as a good video and a lesson learnt.

I bought this K3 at SuperCheap at Christmas... they price matched the advertised $239 priced I'd seen at Bunnings but my local store didn't have any... so great job by them! It does everything we need... cleans the deck, driveway, house exterior, outdoor furniture and the garage floor. Light enough to move around easily and easy on water.
