I've been researching Karcher machines for a few days. Watching your review closed the deal for me, thank you 🙂 One comment that may help someone - at [6:22] you show the quick-connect adapter removed. I tried to remove it by grasping the black knob and turning it anti-clockwise. It wouldn't budge. None of the online documentation discussed removing it, but you had. So - I put on grippy gloves and tried again. This time it unscrewed. My intention was to screw my old threaded Karcher extension-hose onto the exposed thread. That's not possible because the plastic surround on the "K4 Compact" prevents you screwing it down. An adapter is required to mix threaded and quick-connect hoses.
The hose connector you used on the Karcher end of the hose is a auto stop one so is really restricting the flow of water, so if you used the same type connector as the tap end the flow would be a lot better. Thanks for a great video 👍
@@medutenikayode477 HI, I USE GARDENA CONNECTORS AS THEY ARE BETTER QUALITY THAT THE MORE COMMON HOZELOCK ONES BUT MAKE SURE IT IS NOT A AUTO SHUT OFF TYPE. HOPE THIS HELPS.
Very good review, ZRK Reviews. One small point, would have liked more info on the electrical connection and length of the electrical lead. Liked the emphasis on removing all water before storing after use - would help minimise the growth of any water-borne bacteria. Thanks for posting, very useful.
Hi..I could not hear what you said when talking about cars and windows as the washer was on then...what did you say when using this on cars and windows? thanks

That was a very useful ‘noddy’s guide’ which I really appreciate. Mine has arrived today. I plan to use it later in the week. Many thanks.

Hello Guys, my K4 Compact, when it is ON and I am not using it, it makes at random times the pump-working sound. Why is that happening;
Don’t use stop connectors they restrict the water flow
