Hello,
As the title says I have some doubts about the Karcher HD 5/15 C power washer quality and I don't find much info online from actual users.
My ownership went like this, I had the machine for aprox 1 year and one day it just randomly lost pressure (machine worked fine, but pressure was lower than it normally is, and was unusable for power washing).
I sent the machine for warranty but because the legal max 15 day repair was overdue I got a full refund for the machine. I do not know what was broken and repaired since I just got the refund and not the repair report from the service facility.
Now I am torn between getting the same machine again or just assuming a loss for the accesories I have and get some other brand ( I was primarily looking at Nilfisk Premium 200-15 and Kranzle HD 7/122 TS vs Karcher HD 5/15 C).
Is the karcher HD 5/15 C that bad at reliability? (it kind of beats the purpose to spend 100$ on service parts every year when I am using it once per week max 1h in non freezing temperatures). Does anyone have any experience with this product? Does it break often?
I am tempted to get the same machine again with 2 year warranty but I would kind of hope it can go a little bit more than 2 years without needing to rebuild the machine that often (the product gets used 45h per year MAX and that is a bit exagerrated probably).
If i get the other brands can they go longer without rebuilding? Does anyone have any experience or data on that?
I would really be interested in your experiences with either, thank you.
