Pressure Washers

Im a mobile detailer, i put this thing to work! I had owned previously 2 other pieces of junk i saw the campbell hausfeld and know this brand is tried and true, so i bought it. Was the same price as most of the others, but ( here are my likes) unlike the others it has sufficient power 1800 psi and its legit, it has a reel that actually works and i love the huge long extension cord that comes with it.... The only dislike was the cheap wand and the short cheap rubber pressure hose, but all in all i was in for the pressure washer right? So what i did went down to the orange store ( u know who) got 2 universal 25' pressure hoses, and a new heavier wand, so now im in this thing for $250 all togather, but it is a very sweet set up and i dont regret a penny spent, the other thing i forgot to mention about this pressure washer is that the hose fittings are standard pressure washer fittings, some electric pressure compainies have wierd fittings that make it impossible to attach a longer hose, and that made buying the new hose very easy!!! So overall 4.5 stars, love the machine hate the extras that came with it...."..."  Read more

The pressure washer is powerful, quiet in operation and very effective. I have had to replace 3 less expensive, "popular" washers because of their limited life span. They were not nearly as effective as this one because, though they may have delivered the claimed pressure, the volume of water was much less. I have used the washer for 8 months on a regular basis, primarily to wash my vehicle. The cart makes it easy to move about and it produces excellent results.I would have given the washer 5 stars except for two complaints: First, it is not possible to start the washer unless the trigger is squeezed. It seems that the motor cannot overcome the back pressure and the bypass valve is not open at start-up. Secondly, it appears that changing the pump oil will be a messy business as the pump, which is quite heavy, will have to be turned upside down. Alternatively, I suppose I could purchase some sort of extractor.[...]"..."  Read more

My last pressure washers name also started with a K and was made in Germany, but those are the only 2 things they have in common. The Kranzle is in a league of its own with more power and overall features than the competition. After just a short period of use I realized that Kranzle put a lot of time into the overall ergonomics of the machine as everything is very well thought out. This little unit packs a lot of cleaning power for its compact size and with its quality of construction and robust pump, Im sure to get many years of problem free service from it. There are a lot of similarly sized brands on the market touting the same pressure and g.p.m.ratings, but compare the overall machine weights and its easy to see that Kranzle builds their machines to last. I have lived by the saying Buy the best tools you can afford. If you want a quality designed and built pressure washer that will stand the test of time, buy a Kranzle."..."  Read more

My main use of a pressure washer is to clean small aluminum castings after removal from the molds. I use the machine in a set-up similar to a bead blast cabinet so a compact electric machine is a must. I was using a Karcher washer but it finally got to the point where I literally had to kick it to get the motor to start. Because of my frustrations with that machine's trouble prone pressure controlled on/off feature I wanted a machine with an unloader. I chose the Kranzle K1600 and am very pleased with it. My first impression of the machine was that it is quite heavy for a carry machine. I could have listed this as a "con" but didn't because I didn't feel that would be fair as the weight speaks to the quality of the construction. After setting it up and turning it on I was immediately impressed with how quiet it is. In fact when in the bypass mode it only makes a soft humming sound. Since I use it primarily indoors this is a real plus. Really the only thing I could fault about the washer is the large trigger/wand setup. This would probably not be an issue for most people. It is fine for washing off my garden tractor but it is too cumbersome for cleaning castings. I solved this by purchasing a smaller trigger gun, a short wand and a 6' whip hose. Now I use the smaller setup for cleaning castings and the larger/longer setup for everything else. Because of the large threaded hose attachment it is easy to swap hoses and I don't have to deal with 30' of hose when I don't need it.In summary I am very impressed with this machine and would recommend it to anyone who needs a small, portable electric machine. It may seem pricey when compared the Kartcher and similar machines sold at [...] but you get what you pay for. Compare it with other machines of comparable quality and the price is very competitive."..."  Read more
