Karcher G 3400 XH

Does a good job – About 15 years ago I purchased a petrol pressure washer. My experience with that turned me off ever having one again. One of the farms I work part time at purchased the Karcher 3400 with the Honda motor. I use the machine regularly to tidy up a couple of farm buggies that get covered in mud and cow dung and also used to entirely clean the… Read more

rear if a cattle truck that took close to 2 hours. The machine is on fixed revs. Or perhaps I am not aware of how to adjust the revs. Always found it easy to start and easy to use. The gun trigger is in 2 spots on the handle which helps a lot to prevent aches etc in the hands. I have carpel tunnel issues so this helps a lot. There was a period where pressure became poor intermittently. This resolved when a mesh filter on the hose was cleaned. Unfiltered water from a farm dam servicing the house garden was used and the filter was very clogged

Kärcher + Honda = Quality + Reliability – Bought this machine new for $599 and has surpassed all my expectations. Feed it clean unleaded and make sure the oil is topped up and will give you a Continuous 3400psi all day long. My last job was 5hrs cleaning concrete pavers. Using the correct process, attachments and chemicals, the machine was efficient and flawless. 5/5 Show details

Plastic garden hose connection – I purchased my machine yesterday because I needed a pressure washer with a 15 mtr hose. Also powered by Honda was a bonus. Used for 10 minutes and the plastic garden hose connection snapped off. Very disappointed. This should be brass. The thread is an unusual size. Went to Bunnings and total tools and no one has spare parts. So I can’t even use the machine now and have to wait until Monday to see what I can do. Show details

Very poor quality – I purchased mine from Total Tools in Toowoomba March 2022. I have used it 3 times and the inlet fitting for the garden hose snapped. It is plastic. It is a very unusual fitting and I can't buy one anywhere. It should be made of brass not plastic. I have tried hardware shops, plumbing shops, tool shops, a hydraulics shop and a bearing and bolts… Read more

shop, nobody has seen anything like it. I phoned Total Tools in Toowoomba and they said sorry we don't stock the part, try Karcher. So I now have a $1099 boat anchor cluttering up my shed. What a disgrace.

Good just not the knockout I was expecting – I will be honest I purchased my unit as a warranty return (Fixed) from Bunnings. Not sure on the actual hours used when I received it but the oil was very black so I flushed with clean 10-30 grade oil let it drain and topped up with fresh oil. Since then have used for about an hour and worked pretty good I must say. Not a big fan of the Versa… Read more

trigger gun, I find it quite uncomfortable to hold after a while. Only other real complaint is the engine block is mounted directly on the metal body and makes it hard to drain oil without making one hell of a mess. Maybe a rubber mounting plate to lift the motor a bit would have been a better option. Hoping to be able to get a different model trigger gun for it for prolonged use.

Excellent performer – Its compact and easy to move around. Looks and performs like a commercial machine smashing all tasks effortlessly. The pressure hose quality is impressive. The Honda engine has no throttle control. Its noisy and thirsty but starts first go. The unit shakes and bounces around. I added rubber between the engine and the trolley to stop it. The oil… Read more ·  2

drain plug is situated over the trolley. The gun trigger is hard and jolts to press but the gun is easy to hold and maintain stability. The soap dispenser nozzle has no pressure behind it and only showers detergent over items such as a vehicle. An optional pump drain gadget suggests the pump can rust. The pump has an overheat protection. Great buy backed with Karcher 2 year warranty and spares.
