What a superb video. Well articulated without any unnecessary intro music or excessive talking. Really informative review, very detailed content, and you showed us the product in "real world" usage. Fantastic, enjoyable to watch, and informative as well. Thank you very much.
Was debating whether to buy a Karcher. Found this video. Kudos to you sir. Relaxing voice without any ridiculous intro music-etc, good video angles and scenes of the karcher in action. This is basically pressure-washing porn. Great review
@@NewBritWorkshop just about...6:13...you did mention you could get away without wearing clothing. No, I don't take things out of context. Great video :)
I've just bought one and wanted to see a tutorial before using it. Nice to have a well spoken tutor, whose enthusiasm for the product is clear. I'm now sufficiently confident, so off I go......
Very good tutorial. Calm, measured voice, good explanation and easy to follow assembly guidance. Great tips shown throughout the piece. I bought one on the strength of the presentation and watched it again for assembly and use. Karcher should express their thanks for the promotion of what is an excellent piece of kit. Thanks again.
What an absolute pleasure it was to watch this review! It answers all the questions and queries I had in a simple and straight forward manner. Keep up the great work!!!
I've just bought the Karcher "K2 Premium Full Control" (it's currently in bits in front of me). I found the review to be very helpful. Both the set up and usage information was excellent, very clear and concise. I have both a patio and a new car to clean - all I need now is some decent December weather. Thank you Peter.
Absolutely living for this comment section right now. So much respect and love for this review which is rightly deserved. I’ve just bought a second hand k2 and it’s amazing!!!
Fantastic assembly instructions - simple when you know how but the guide which came with the machine were very lacking. A huge thank you! Ready to get going now 😊
My God how nice to have a good clean comprehensive video on a product. With language that's music to my ears and an intelligent person ( protect your eyes, yes! ). Just a professional non- commercial video that correctly depicts all uses of the product. Bravo!
Brilliant video, thanks so much. I understand the instructions aren't that clear too, so your demonstration of how it fits together is particularly helpful! Agree with other comments too that it's nice for a video to not have a big fanfair of an introduction. All the best!
Just bought this. The handbook is useless . This is one of the best reviews of anything I have seen on UA-cam. I cannot thank you enough for your excellent review.
Thank you for a very informative video on theKarcher 2. Without a man in the house, and as a senior citizen I and can confidently put it together and use it now. Blessings
Just got the karcher 2 myself. I wasn't expecting much but like you I was astounded how good it was. My patio is like new! I've not used the patio attachment yet, I didn't think it would be worth it. I thought the spray wand did such a good job but after seeing you use it and how good it was I'll definately use it next time.
There was lots of "Clicking", which we enjoyed. As each new section connected, we waited for "The Click" each time and you didn't disappoint. Great review and honestly, myself, my wife and the children gave you a round of applause. Great review...I'd like to think if there was not a lockdown, we would have still given you a round of applause, however, we'll never know. We're off to play at being "Pressure Washer Pete" with our spankingly new K2. Thank you
My Black & Decker washer gave up on me and their service center seems to be permanently closed (no reply whatsoever). So, I'm thinking of getting one of this. Even though this is 3 years old, it is very informative and honest experience. I thank you sir.
One of the best reviews of karcher product i have ever watched! You made me think to buy one of this small models, only one thing is missing to be perfect i think, thats how to properly turn off the pressure washer :) that's it!
A gentleman explaining tech! Your voice was very reassuring and video was well thought out. Just a suggestion. Pls mention the attachment specifications such as input tube size and any converter/attachment needed.
Just bought one of these on offer from Homebase and can't wait to start using it after wathing this very informative video. Thanks for covering everything I was wondering about!
Where have you been all my of life;my BP would have risen without your very simple DYI video,thanks so much.I have subscribed to your channel. Pat Downunder,
Rumour has it that Peter is currently giving the Forth Bridge a good clean. Sans detergent naturally! In all seriousness there's something heart warming about watching this. I enjoyed this review immensely.
Within a few days after seeing this video I searched out and bought one of these instruments. I live in a very large home near Atlanta, GA, USA; and we "pressure cleaned" the entire house. It is every thing Peter said it was. I have no leaks. The handle did not stay up after it was installed. Also, the "Dirt Blaster" wand failed quickly. I called Karcher and they had a new one here in less than 5 days. It works like a charm. I did not tell them about the handle, because I simply forgot about it. But I am going to call them and have them ship me a new one. I am sure they will. One word of caution. I only had a 5/8", 100" hose from my spigot; on a large part of my house; after using a 50' on it where I could reach. There was a noticeable reduction in the strength of the spray when pressure washing; for whatever it's worth. But it was NOT weak enough to keep us from using it to clean our home; albeit a slower time. Next time I will buy a 3/4" , 100' hose. I am sure that will help immeasurably when it comes to pressure. Thank you Peter for demonstrating this amazing device. We love it! And you too dear person.
The best video of this type i've seen, far better than the woefully inadequate instructions provided by Karcher, and that bloke is a star, relaxed, informative and to the point, he should be on the telly but he's probably what they would call male, pale and stale in modern terms, far better to give the job to a 20 year old girl with a media degree and utterly no idea what she's doing
a word of advice peter, make sure the washer is stored well in winter, a very hard frost of minus 3 or 4 will ruin the pump if it has residual water in it when put away. because of the plastic parts in it,even inside a garage if it gets down lower than that, ive lost more than one pressure washer like that, i now store it inside a cupboard in my garage with an old blanket round it. commercial machines have metal in their pumps and are not as susceptible.
Many thanks for that advice. My previous Karcher, a top of the range model in its day, died through frost damage. I took it apart thinking that I could fix it but it was badly blown. Many thanks. Peter
Bought this last week can't wait to use it I didn't look at the reviews before buying it because I believe karcher is the best pressure washer great video explaining all the parts to get amazing results.
Very well explained, calm voice, truthful revue, I'm going to get one from Screwfix tomorrow, the going price is now £109.99, but I do have a £5.00 voucher, thank you for your great video
Thank you so much. I paid the full price for my machine and thought it to be excellent value for money. We still have it and it works very well indeed. Cheers. Peter
Excellent demo and review. I got the car washing set. Now you make me think I should have gotten the patio and deck set. Thank you for your time and great comments.
Just bought my K2. I came to your video first, and am so glad I did. From set-up to use, I now feel confident I can use this tool to do a good job cleaning my patio. Thank you very much. :)
Just had a “debate” with my husband who said I should just blast away and not bother with watching an instruction video. Glad I didn’t listen to him. Tip top video. Thank you so much.
Thank you SO much! A clear and straightforward video. In no way would I have been able to put this together without your help. I now need to wait for it to stop raining!

Thanks for a PROPER review. So many people review items without really testing it properly. I like how this fine gentleman actually tested the need of the detergent and its obvious that in basic usage it is not needed. Thank you very much.
I concur. It's also been my experience that these "detergents" are rubbish and just plain water will do the job just as well as using these unneeded detergents.
I must say you are a great presenter, and more importantly you covered all of the main and important points without beating around the bush.Just one important thing though, I made this mistake twice - do not leave it in your shed over winter as the frost will ruin it -Karcher does warm you of this I had to refund mine as it stopped working, so will be keeping it in the garage now, Many Thanks for the video.
This is a brilliant video! I bought this model yesterday and found the instructions difficult to follow. However, with this video I have managed to set the pressure washer up and tomorrow I'll begin using it. A well planned video which explains everything clearly. Thank you.
excellent work. I am in Japan and there are dozens of these pressure washer systems here (all made in China alas) and your review is very helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time and energy to produce a straight forward explanation and demonstration. Well done!
@@NewBritWorkshop Well Sir, the product did exactly as you showed, and with my very clean driveway and deck my wife was even complimentary about the purchase! I was also able to use the word detritus in conversation. Many accomplishments large and small.
Wish I had seen this before I put mine together yesterday ! The instructions tell you how to get started but I couldn’t see how to use the extension pole or the circulating thingy. Might have saved my back. Anyway, will keep this. Thank you.
A great review. Straightforward, no nonsense straight to the point. Extremely useful and reassuring. I've just bought this piece of kit and have only just assembled it- to honest I'm not impressed by the flimsy plastic- particularly that patio "Dalek" attachment. Having watched you in action it certainly looks like it will be more useful than I first thought. Glad to have seen your review of the patio solution. I've just saved myself a smalll fortune! Thanks again for such an excellent tutorial/practical review. My project begins tomorrow...
I managed to assemble the Karcher and then watched the video which was excellent. The only thing I found hard was trying to push in the attachments. I have just used it and the T-bar was really good. I purchased this from B@Q, it was £90 and received the 10% off on Wednesdays, costing me £81. Really pleased with my purchase.
Thank you for posting this. Ive just bought this model to clean my patio so hope it comes up as clean as yours. I hope my hozle lock hose fits the washer.
I have been looking to buy this model and was looking at reveiws and then came across yours. I have to say this is a first class review and I wil now go buy one. I had seen that some of the patio attachments also had a brush and thought they might be better. Now i watched your review I don’t think it’s needed. Thank you
My husband I purchased one of these. It is now MINE I love it, I have chronic arthritis and cleaning is difficult to say the least. I am unable to clean the exterior of the house or the driveway in a day, however that is simply because my body fails me. This cleaner however does not. I have cleaned part of the front of the house, the mail box, and part of the driveway I haven’t touched the universal cleaner yet as I simply haven’t needed to. I am going to be using it again today for the third day in a row, I am looking around the exterior of the house and in my head adding it to my list of things I am cleaning next! I love it, it is incredibly light and so easy to put together and use I would recommend it to anyone and everyone
Thank you so much for this encouraging comment. I am so sorry that you are a chronic arthritis sufferer (me too - wrists, elbows and back). I am always looking at ways to make life easier and this Karcher pressure washer certainly helps. Good luck and take care. Peter
cfta - Probably the most useful and relevant review I’ve ever seen, not just because of the fact the first vid I clicked on, happened to be one of my favourite engineers😆🥰❤️ Borrowed this exact model from a neighbour, so you’ve really helped set my mind at rest, in terms of feeling prepared to tackle the job. Thank you 🙏 ❤️💪
The snow foam attachment and auto glym polar blast snow foam works wonders with the K2! Fill to the first line from the bottom and top up with water, run it with the foam at full, leave for 10 minutes and go over the car with a sponge or mitt, then rinse. Just bought the surface cleaner which led me here, now I have a plan, thank you!
That was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for such an honest, practical and genuine review. I bought a K2 from Screwfix last year and was plucking up the courage to unbox and get started - no fear now!
As others have said, a well presented and instructional video. There’s no meaningless waffle or unpreparedness. Just useful, helpful advice and a balanced view of the product. KArcher should be paying you for this !
You are very kind but there is no need for Karcher to pay me. The video has had nearly 500,000 hits and the feedback, like yours, has made my small amount of effort worth while. Cheers. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop You’re too modest ! I’ve gone and bought one today on your recommendation - I haven’t had so much fun since lockdown began ! A really useful piece of kit. Now hopefully I won’t be slipping over on our ‘algae-covered’ decking !
Fantastic review.. needed help assembling my k2 as can no longer go to car wash due to the virus which has broken out world wide.. your a natural.. STAY SAFE everyone👍🏽
Very useful video, Sir. Especially the precautions and tips you present. O and yeah, very very relaxing voice. Now I really can't wait any longer my Karcher K2, I'll tell you my experience with it using your tips, Sir. Respect from Flores, Indonesia.🤝
love the pet blackbird, pity they do not migrate over here, although I did hear some in WA when visiting, wonderful songbird. Oh, the Karcher, well, concur with all the positive responses, will investigate the K2 tomorrow.
I had the original Karcher which I purchased around 20 years ago and only last year replaced it with the K4. I have tried other makes but personally I swear by Karcher for pressure washers around the home. I am sure that the more industrial types are superior but at the price I would not invest when the Karcher does the job that I need. Thank you Peter for showing your experience and I agree the detergent is not worth the extra it costs.
@@NewBritWorkshop I’ve just bought this, your review helped me, I also made sure the one I blight had the patio cleaning attachment as some of them don’t have it
I’m an Aussie and have owned and used a Karcher for years. Our patio cleaners come with a hard bristle “skirt” around the bottom so you don’t get that harsh plastic against concrete scraping sound. The skirt also protects the user from debris that may be kicked up by the cleaner. Karcher also make a foam cannon, which really amplifies the cleaning power of the detergent. Great little unit though. I wouldn’t be without one now, especially during the pandemic when you don’t know who has handled the car wash guns and brushes at a commercial car wash.
"Woooowwww" not got the product, that's for the amazingly detailed review that you have done for the product. Wow. Never ever had seen any review so so good. Thank you so much.
I truly would like to thank you for making this video. My machine is almost identical and I was struggling with the pressure hose not clicking. After watching your well detail assembly I noticed my mistake just in time before turning the machine on for the first time. Great video.
Was searching for a decent review of this model, and really pleased I came across this. Excellent review, covered all that I wanted to know. Have now ordered.
@@NewBritWorkshop Got it yesterday, used it in the afternoon and the result was brilliant. Couldn't believe how good the patio cleaner attachment was, and how clean it made the patio. Now looking forward to doing the driveway. Shame I did not take a before and after. Great recommendation.
Thank you so much for sharing this superb video. As someone said, you have a natural presentation style. Well edited too! I also appreciate your honesty.....quite a rare attribute these days! I have a 10-15yr old JCB but I can't buy a 'rotating nozzle patio cleaning head' to fit as every manufacturer, stupidly, has not standardised. I've just ordered an adaptor which might just work (if I'm lucky) and now that I've seen your video I'm even more desperate to obtain one of these rotary cleaning heads. If that fails I'm encouraged that the model you demonstrated will be adequate for my needs which helps to clear the fog of Karcher model proliferation. NoAxe
I always rather spend the amount a “professional” quoted and buy the equipment to do it myself - in the end you get to keep the equipment and grow your garage/workshop 😌 Thanks for the video Peter. God bless and take care! Regards all the way from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦
This is what I look for when it comes to reviews: real product, real conditions and a someone who uses the product as I want to use it. Thank you!
Hi David, Many thanks - feedback is a great help to me. Peter
I agree!
What a superb video. Well articulated without any unnecessary intro music or excessive talking. Really informative review, very detailed content, and you showed us the product in "real world" usage. Fantastic, enjoyable to watch, and informative as well. Thank you very much.
Gosh, many thanks for that. Cheers Peter
You sir are a natural, you should teach others how to review. Excellent!
Hi Peter, You are very kind, many thanks. Peter
I agree!!!
Very informative and a pleasure to watch.
Thank you.
You sir could make a customer's program on TV, you are very good. Greetings from Belgium
Agreed, he is a great trainer
Was debating whether to buy a Karcher. Found this video.
Kudos to you sir. Relaxing voice without any ridiculous intro music-etc, good video angles and scenes of the karcher in action. This is basically pressure-washing porn. Great review
At least I remembered to keep my clothes on ! Cheers. Peter
New Brit Workshop I love the way u responded 😂.
👌🏼
?@@NewBritWorkshop Do you normally do it in the nude then? weird.
@@NewBritWorkshop just about...6:13...you did mention you could get away without wearing clothing. No, I don't take things out of context. Great video :)
I am now convinced to buy one. Fabulous demonstration.
I've just bought one and wanted to see a tutorial before using it. Nice to have a well spoken tutor, whose enthusiasm for the product is clear. I'm now sufficiently confident, so off I go......
Glad it was helpful!
How you can you not like this video??? Clear and simple instructions, unlike the the ones that come with the washer!

Glad you enjoyed it! Peter
Great presentation, you’re a natural. I’m definitely going to purchase the patio cleaner attachment after that review. Well done to you.
Best review I have seen on the Karcher. I am a female and had no idea how to use this since my OH died. Thank you
Hi Corayn, I am sorry about your other half but glad that my video has helped you. Good luck. Peter
Fantastic assembly instructions - simple when you know how but the guide which came with the machine were very lacking. A huge thank you! Ready to get going now 😊

This is a brilliant video! I bought this model yesterday and found the instructions difficult to follow. However, with this video I have managed to set the pressure washer up and tomorrow I'll begin using it. A well planned video which explains everything clearly. Thank you.
Hi Peter, Many thanks. Peter
excellent work. I am in Japan and there are dozens of these pressure washer systems here (all made in China alas) and your review is very helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time and energy to produce a straight forward explanation and demonstration. Well done!
Thank you so much. ありがとうございました Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop Well Sir, the product did exactly as you showed, and with my very clean driveway and deck my wife was even complimentary about the purchase! I was also able to use the word detritus in conversation. Many accomplishments large and small.
@@shizuokaBLUES Excellent, great humour - many thanks. Peter
Ordered! Good honest video and looking forward to mine arriving. Great voice Sir, makes a refreshing change for UA-cam.
Hi Jonathan, Many thanks for the very kind words. Cheers. Peter
Wish I had seen this before I put mine together yesterday ! The instructions tell you how to get started but I couldn’t see how to use the extension pole or the circulating thingy. Might have saved my back. Anyway, will keep this. Thank you.
A great review. Straightforward, no nonsense straight to the point. Extremely useful and reassuring. I've just bought this piece of kit and have only just assembled it- to honest I'm not impressed by the flimsy plastic- particularly that patio "Dalek" attachment. Having watched you in action it certainly looks like it will be more useful than I first thought. Glad to have seen your review of the patio solution. I've just saved myself a smalll fortune! Thanks again for such an excellent tutorial/practical review. My project begins tomorrow...
Hi Moutton, Many thanks for this. Peter
I managed to assemble the Karcher and then watched the video which was excellent. The only thing I found hard was trying to push in the attachments. I have just used it and the T-bar was really good. I purchased this from B@Q, it was £90 and received the 10% off on Wednesdays, costing me £81. Really pleased with my purchase.
Hi Maureen, That was a very useful Wednesday discount. Cheers. Peter
By far the most informative of videos regarding the Karcher 2. The tranquility in your voice made it pleasant viewing 👏🏽
Gosh, thank you so much. Peter
This has to be the best pressure washer review out there! Very informative and weirdly relaxing.
How kind. Cheers. Peter
Thank you for posting this. Ive just bought this model to clean my patio so hope it comes up as clean as yours. I hope my hozle lock hose fits the washer.
I have been looking to buy this model and was looking at reveiws and then came across yours. I have to say this is a first class review and I wil now go buy one. I had seen that some of the patio attachments also had a brush and thought they might be better. Now i watched your review I don’t think it’s needed. Thank you
Cheers. Peter
I bought on yesterday great piece of kit. Thank you 😊
Brilliant - many thanks for letting me know. Peter
My husband I purchased one of these. It is now MINE I love it, I have chronic arthritis and cleaning is difficult to say the least. I am unable to clean the exterior of the house or the driveway in a day, however that is simply because my body fails me. This cleaner however does not. I have cleaned part of the front of the house, the mail box, and part of the driveway I haven’t touched the universal cleaner yet as I simply haven’t needed to. I am going to be using it again today for the third day in a row, I am looking around the exterior of the house and in my head adding it to my list of things I am cleaning next! I love it, it is incredibly light and so easy to put together and use I would recommend it to anyone and everyone
Thank you so much for this encouraging comment. I am so sorry that you are a chronic arthritis sufferer (me too - wrists, elbows and back). I am always looking at ways to make life easier and this Karcher pressure washer certainly helps. Good luck and take care. Peter
cfta - Probably the most useful and relevant review I’ve ever seen, not just because of the fact the first vid I clicked on, happened to be one of my favourite engineers😆🥰❤️ Borrowed this exact model from a neighbour, so you’ve really helped set my mind at rest, in terms of feeling prepared to tackle the job. Thank you 🙏 ❤️💪
Cheers. Peter
Ive just purchased the Karcher and your demo came in so handy. Thank you so much
Hi Diane, Glad it was helpful! Peter
The snow foam attachment and auto glym polar blast snow foam works wonders with the K2! Fill to the first line from the bottom and top up with water, run it with the foam at full, leave for 10 minutes and go over the car with a sponge or mitt, then rinse. Just bought the surface cleaner which led me here, now I have a plan, thank you!
You are most welcome. Good luck. Peter
I just bought one after watching your review. It work well, compact and affordable too. I give 9/10.
Hi Afnan, I am now making a video about the K5 and it is brilliant as well but a bit more expensive. Cheers. Peter
That was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for such an honest, practical and genuine review. I bought a K2 from Screwfix last year and was plucking up the courage to unbox and get started - no fear now!
Hi Judith, Many thanks and good luck. Remember to wear eye protection. Cheers. Peter
As others have said, a well presented and instructional video. There’s
no meaningless waffle or unpreparedness. Just useful, helpful advice
and a balanced view of the product. KArcher should be paying you
for this !
You are very kind but there is no need for Karcher to pay me. The video has had nearly 500,000 hits and the feedback, like yours, has made my small amount of effort worth while. Cheers. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop You’re too modest ! I’ve gone and bought one today on your recommendation -
I haven’t had so much fun since lockdown began ! A really useful piece of kit. Now hopefully
I won’t be slipping over on our ‘algae-covered’ decking !
Fantastic review.. needed help assembling my k2 as can no longer go to car wash due to the virus which has broken out world wide.. your a natural.. STAY SAFE everyone👍🏽
Very useful video, Sir.
Especially the precautions and tips you present.
O and yeah, very very relaxing voice.
Now I really can't wait any longer my Karcher K2, I'll tell you my experience with it using your tips, Sir.
Respect from Flores, Indonesia.🤝
love the pet blackbird, pity they do not migrate over here, although I did hear some in WA when visiting, wonderful songbird.
Oh, the Karcher, well, concur with all the positive responses, will investigate the K2 tomorrow.
Hi Alan, Many thanks and take care. Cheers. Peter
I had the original Karcher which I purchased around 20 years ago and only last year replaced it with the K4. I have tried other makes but personally I swear by Karcher for pressure washers around the home. I am sure that the more industrial types are superior but at the price I would not invest when the Karcher does the job that I need. Thank you Peter for showing your experience and I agree the detergent is not worth the extra it costs.
The patio solution was most useful to me. Thanks
Glad to hear that
@@NewBritWorkshop I’ve just bought this, your review helped me, I also made sure the one I blight had the patio cleaning attachment as some of them don’t have it
I’m an Aussie and have owned and used a Karcher for years. Our patio cleaners come with a hard bristle “skirt” around the bottom so you don’t get that harsh plastic against concrete scraping sound. The skirt also protects the user from debris that may be kicked up by the cleaner.
Karcher also make a foam cannon, which really amplifies the cleaning power of the detergent.
Great little unit though. I wouldn’t be without one now, especially during the pandemic when you don’t know who has handled the car wash guns and brushes at a commercial car wash.
Many thanks. Peter
"Woooowwww" not got the product, that's for the amazingly detailed review that you have done for the product. Wow.
Never ever had seen any review so so good. Thank you so much.
Hi Krishna, Many thanks. Peter
I truly would like to thank you for making this video. My machine is almost identical and I was struggling with the pressure hose not clicking. After watching your well detail assembly I noticed my mistake just in time before turning the machine on for the first time. Great video.
Many thanks for the feedback. Peter
Thanks a million, Peter. You helped me work out which model to buy, and how to put it together. You're a great teacher!Paula from Australia
Hi Paula, Many thanks. Peter
Just bought the exact same model,have yet to use it so many thanks for all the great tips.You are a very good demonstrator.
Hi Alan, many thanks. Peter
Was searching for a decent review of this model, and really pleased I came across this. Excellent review, covered all that I wanted to know. Have now ordered.
Hi Anthony, Well done and good luck with your new machine. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop Got it yesterday, used it in the afternoon and the result was brilliant. Couldn't believe how good the patio cleaner attachment was, and how clean it made the patio. Now looking forward to doing the driveway. Shame I did not take a before and after. Great recommendation.
Thank you so much for sharing this superb video. As someone said, you have a natural presentation style. Well edited too! I also appreciate your honesty.....quite a rare attribute these days!
I have a 10-15yr old JCB but I can't buy a 'rotating nozzle patio cleaning head' to fit as every manufacturer, stupidly, has not standardised. I've just ordered an adaptor which might just work (if I'm lucky) and now that I've seen your video I'm even more desperate to obtain one of these rotary cleaning heads.
If that fails I'm encouraged that the model you demonstrated will be adequate for my needs which helps to clear the fog of Karcher model proliferation.

I always rather spend the amount a “professional” quoted and buy the equipment to do it myself - in the end you get to keep the equipment and grow your garage/workshop 😌
Thanks for the video Peter. God bless and take care! Regards all the way from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦
Hi Johannes, Many thanks. Doing things yourself is a great idea especially if money is tight. Take care. Peter
i used mine last night, and I too was blown away by how good it was!
Hi Andy, Yes it is a good bit of kit for the money. Peter
He reminds me of a vicar.
Excellent vid 👍
I will take that as a compliment assuming the vicar in mind is a nice chap !!. Cheers. Peter
New Brit Workshop I should’ve included a “very nice and pleasant” vicar :)
Fantastic video sir! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Excellent review ! I have just purchased a Karcher and it was so helpful ,thank you !
Great to hear!
This was a superb overview! I am waiting for some building works to finish on my house before I use the K2 on my patio. I am itching to clean it!
Glad it was helpful!
