| After owning the Devilbliss (Excell) 2400 PSI pressure washer from Home Depot for the past few weeks, I had a desire for more. The Excell had the 6.5 HP B&S engine. Don't let numbers fool you. The Karcher was unpacked today and immediately tested it out. Where the Excell fell short on cleaning a few weeks back, the Karcher "cleaned up" the remaining dirt. Weakness: Oil filler hole. Problems that previous users have complained about - hopefully, there are no long-term reliability issues with this device. Strengths: Power, power and more power. Lots of tips to "fine tune" your spray. The dirt buster attachment does great. Great price: $299 @ Costco. I hope this baby lasts me a few years (or more). I love Honda engines - my Craftsman mower has one, too. Too many issues with my last B&S engine have me shying away from their engines. |

| 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. |

| I just received my new K2400HH today. In a matter of minutes, I had it together and it worked like a charm. Used the Dirt Blaster to instantly clean algae and slime from the front brick steps, cleaned excess mortar from the original construction on an exterior brick wall and removed mildew and grime from a garage door. Was a positive experience and I was definitely glad I didn't settle for the lower pressure electric version. The reviewer >> biggus_discus was exactly correct in his review except for his open issues. It seems that Karcher has now changed the pressure tip storage rack and pressure tips. There are now five seperate quick change spray tips plus the super nice quick change Dirt Blaster tip. In addition, the rack has been updated so that these tips nount securely and don't easily fall out. As well, I had no problems with the wandholder. Definitely a good value for the money and I don't know how I lasted this long without one. |

| This is a great product. I agree with the previous review re the stupid design of the oil filler hole, but I guess we should partially blame Honda who built the engine, although Karcher did design the frame!!! You must have a funnel available when you first use the product. However, once you get the oil in, the product is great. Superb cleaning ability and the Honda engine runs like a charm. I used it on a brick walkway and a pool (cement). Terrific cleaning power. I would highly recommend it. |

| 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 |
