- So Far, So Good
- Just received the Karcher K 2.97M and am very satisfied. Assembly was fairly easy, though instructions were muddy. Operating instructions were even muddier. Important notes which I missed: after plugging power cord in, you have to do a little magic ritual, pressing the Test and Reset buttons in a certain order; then the motor still doesn't start until the trigger on wand is depressed. Once I got these points, I was off! Wow, can this little thing clean! The brick sidewalk has gone from dark brown to red. For stubborn things like algae, I've learned to hold the spray very close, and presto! Algae's gone. I wanted something simple, without the maintenance, fumes or frustration of a gasoline washer. Electrics are not as powerful, so the cleaning is slow going, but for me this is preferable to a gas model. I find the machine quite sturdy; I've knocked it over several times without ill effect.

- Karcher Electric Pressure Washer
- I ordered a Karcher 297M model pressure washer some time ago online. I really like it, it cleans well, it's easy to use and we don't have a huge house so it was a good choice. I've never had any of the problems I see on here. We read on Karcher's website about using a pump guard to keep it from freezing up in the winter and to keep the seals and stuff from drying out too. You run it through the pressure washer a couple of times during the year, and esp before storing it for winter, and you're good to go. It was the highest rated electric washer tested by Consumer Reports, so we feel like it will last if we take good care of it. So far, so good!

- Washer does what's It's supposed to.
- The washer cleaned my cement driveway with the turby nozzle. Without the turbo nozzle it would not have. The washer performed as expected. I havn't tried it on a wood deck yet but expect the regular nozzle to work well under those conditions.

- Wish I'd Read These Reviews First
- Wow, what a piece of junk. I bought at BJ's Club and haven't tried to return yet. We'll see if their service is better than (at least this piece) of merchandise....
