I use the Karcher car wash even in winter - a good machine, although with its drawbacks

The Körcher minisink for a car was purchased about 3 years ago. This is the first car wash that I have, so I use it with pleasure, but this year I started thinking about a more powerful unit.

I'll tell you in order. This is a small pressure washer. It has a 1400 watt engine and a capacity of 460 liters per hour. Of course, I don't use that much water. A 200-liter barrel is enough for me, to which I have led a hose, for washing two cars and cleaning the territory.

The kit includes a nozzle and a container for detergent. I bought the foaming agent separately, after which I began to use the sink with pleasure.

Hose 6 meters. But, rather, 5 meters 70 cm. When it seemed to me that he was short, I measured it from the principle and it turned out that it did not reach the declared one. Such is the manufacturer's savings. There is a garden hose adapter.

The device has a retractable handle, wheels, with which the sink is easy to move. Its weight is 8 kilograms, but there is no need to carry, so it is not felt. Included, of course, is a pistol, as well as a Variopauer attachment and a mud blaster.

Of course, such a car wash cannot be called powerful and universal; it is one of the simplest and most inexpensive devices. Nevertheless, I use it even in warm weather in winter, which is very convenient, because during thaws the car is all dirty and salty. To avoid unnecessary corrosion, it is necessary to wash, and at the sink prices bite. Such extreme use of Körcher made itself felt, I had to take her to the service, because oil leaked and it was necessary to replace the cuffs. In winter, they seem to crack.

I use it to wash garden paths, bicycles. But the most important thing that reconciled my wife with the purchase of this device is that we, with the help of Körcher, wash carpets and rugs that are spread in our bathhouse and in the yard. The home carpet, of course, is not washable; it requires cleaning in a more delicate way.

This year we washed the polycarbonate greenhouse before the start of the season - it was well washed, the greens were gone. Although, I will not deny, we did a little brushing.

As you can see, I store the sink in a warm, dry basement, where it perfectly tolerates the winter cold.

Those who have decided to buy their first car wash should start with just this one. And then decide whether to buy an expensive device.
