Owner for 3 years, I bought it as a second one for convenience when you can't carry the big machine. Let's not fool ourselves, it's simply for better rinsing, it requires a lot of soaking, good detergent, and foaming. I do not recommend using it for other attachments, its pressure is not sufficient in any case, nor does it reach the 110bar it claims. In conclusion, it's only suitable for light dirt and borderline tasks for the car.
Cheap, good for small jobs, basically just a quick wash is enough. If it lasts for more than 3-4 years for the light use I need it for, I will be satisfied. If you want to use it for a long time and remove stubborn dirt, don't buy it.
After three years of use, last year I bought a second one for 55 euros. It is small, light, easy to use, and effective for the house, car, and motorcycle. It is quite satisfactory.
I have bought three, two for myself and one for a friend. It is incredibly helpful and capable for household tasks, outdoor carpets, exterior walls, etc. They have not presented any problems for two years now. Compared to the much larger ones I had and still have from earlier, it is like day and night in terms of ease.
I use several Karcher products due to my father's job. I bought this particular one about a year ago for around 50 euros, and since then, it never ceases to amaze me with just one extra attachment (the one that holds the soap container in front).
My main purpose is to wash my bicycle, as I do mountain biking and it gets dirty often, as well as cleaning the balcony at regular intervals. Despite its low price, the machine is deceptive. It satisfactorily meets my simple requirements, and those who I have lent it to can't believe that it can do so many tasks with so little money.
Lastly, it requires caution on specific surfaces so as not to damage the paint (e.g., car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc.), and strictly no more than 45 minutes of continuous operation (it will burn out). The machine is a must-have for someone who doesn't want to waste a lot of water and finish a simple cleaning in 10-15 minutes! I highly recommend it for such (obviously amateur) tasks without hesitation!
For its price, it does the job well. It is small and easy to store. For one car wash and storage until the next time, it's okay. If you expect to open a car wash with 50 euros, you're making a mistake.
It is a relatively good machine for its price. Although mainly made of plastic, it has metal buttons where needed and does not seem to break easily.
It is relatively lightweight, user-friendly, and easy to assemble.
It requires either a power extension or an extension on the hose for the handle if you don't want to have it permanently hanging on one hand. This is the only downside to its use.
For car washing, which is its main use for me, it does a satisfactory job. It is powerful enough to lift dust and dirt but not strong enough to lift paint. CAUTION: if you have cracks in the paint, it can easily be lifted with any pressure.
Due to the company's name, the additional accessories or spare parts you may need are expensive. For example, I bought the machine on sale for about 45 euros. I searched for an extension for the gun handle (genuine, with special buttons, 6 meters long) and found that the best price I could find was 55 euros.
For as long as it lasted, it was completely weak. It broke after two car washes. After two minutes, it would heat up and you couldn't hold it by the handle. No adjustment in the way it sprays water. It doesn't even remove bird droppings from the windshield. I took it to the dealership and I'm waiting. When they themselves tell you that with the money you paid, it's meant for washing a bicycle and can't handle washing a car, you understand what you got!
