The cleaning performance of the appliance is actually pretty good, if one uses the rotary nozzle.
When using the Vario nozzle I feel the beam as too soft to be cleaned as motorcycle, car etc reasonable.
Meanwhile, you can probably produce everything in China, it is only on the package "Design and Engenering in Germany". Unfortunately, this has negative effects on the product. So already is assembling a delicate matter. The plastic cover with handle and the counterpart are not 100% manufactured precisely and you need soft power to it to add together and eventually to screw. The wheels are made only of plastic, no rubber. For a middle class device I had been expecting this. Add to that that the wheels so hard to turn that these etc on flat surfaces such as a terrace, concrete grinding and not only rotate. I find that totally breaks down. With some PTFE spray I could bring the wheels at least halfway in transition. The hose connection (plastic thread) for the water supply is not very stable, a Gardena coupling piece included. This I had to replace here against a GEKA fitting, because my entire hose system is designed. Here you have to be very careful when screwing the threaded piece, the plastic is very soft and the thread breaks too fast. The stem and the extensions that you have to put together to make use of the terrace cleaner, is very unstable. Unfortunately, it is therefore not work properly.
The main unit K2-K3 always seem to be the same apart from minor modifications, only the accessory is attached modular and thus distinguishes the small type classes mainly. Everything is apparently concerned about cost and profit optimization.
Schade Kärcher!
