Two years ago I bought the S650 at Amazon to sweep 1x per week the paved courtyard (ca.45m²). Dirt, sawdust, etc., it has well received, leaves and flowers are problematic. Now after two years, the drive belt is broken, replacement costs around 20:00 each, making a total of 40.00. The outdoor brooms would replace each approximately 25.00. The wear and tear costs ie without mounting 90.00, a new Kehrmaschiene S650 costs 85.00. As well as the other drive parts repair and are susceptible to wear, an exchange does not pay anyway. Conclusion: The Sweeper is shipped as a source of spare parts in the garage, and bought a new S650. Should this then be worn even after two years, no more Kärcher comes into question, because the former quality of Kärcher products will no longer be produced, for example, in high-pressure cleaners.
