DO NOT BUY THIS RIG!
Great functional design, better hose real, better power-cord wrap, better foundation balance thus doesn't tip over like my older Karcher K5.540. However, the Turbo Nozzle is nothing compared to the older Karcher Dirtblaster Spray Wand. And my older Karcher Deck and Driveway Surface Cleaner, T250 worked perfectly with the K5.540, but the Karcher 8.755-848.0 Hard Surface Cleaner for this rig (with its newly adopted universal connectors (I prefer the older Karcher ones) tore up my wood deck! Its jets are too strong for anything other than concrete. But the REAL reason this rig only gets 1 star is the epic-fail design of the CFI circuit breaker of the power cord; it constantly overheats and shuts the rig down by breaking and turning off the rig time-and-time again! Gah! Even after being left to cool down overnight! I thought I had a faulty unit, so I returned the first one that I got at Home Depot and re-purchased it on Amazon, but nope; same thing; it keeps shutting down by breaking the circuit in the power-cord. I NEVER had this happen *once* with my older Karcher K5.540, ever! Even after HOURS of running it! So I returned this rig again and bought the newer Karcher K5 Premium Electric Power Pressure Washer, 2000 PSI, 1.4 GPM. Hopefully it will work as well as my old K5.540 (which is still running BTW after four years, other than the on/off switch being iffy-connection-faulty (I just leave it at the “on” setting and unplug it to turn it off) and the soap dispenser stopped working after two years in hard service). DO NOT BUY THIS RIG!
