Kärcher K4.600 T200
The K4.600 T200 is one of the most advanced consumer pressure washers ever. Combining power and energy efficiency, it is equipped with an innovative water-cooled induction motor for enhanced performance and longer life. This unit also includes the new detergent Plug ; Clean system for quick and convenient detergent changeovers, and the Quick Connect release on both ends of the hose which eliminates kinks and reduces set up times. The compact construction offers good mobility when cleaning medium sized areas around the house, with accessory storage on the unit keeping everything neat and tidy. An impact-resistant recyclable plastic casing and fine mesh water filter prevent dirt particles from damaging the motor and three-piston axial-flow pump, whilst a safety valve prevents pressure overload. A pressure switch control switches the motor on and off when the ergonomically-designed trigger gun is pressed and released. The K 4.600 T200 is ideal for cleaning large vehicles, patios, decking, motorbikes, stone walls and barbecues.
Features
Included are the T200 T-racer surface cleaner which is ideal for faster, splash-free cleaning of large areas like patios and decking, a variable pressure spray lance which allows pressure control with a single turn, 1l of universal Plug ; Clean detergent as well as the dirtblaster lance which provides up to 50% greater cleaning power than a standard high pressure lance.
Water-cooled induction motor
Water-cooled induction motors give enhanced performance and longer life whilst using less energy. Water cooling is a very efficient method of transferring heat away from the motor, and water-cooled motors provide high power output per unit of weight. K3-K5 models are up to 11% lighter than conventional machines with air-cooled motors, resulting in significantly better mobility. In comparison to air-cooled motors with the same capacity, they also save up to 5% energy as there is no need for the fan.
Quick Connect
The Quick Connect system eliminates hose kinking and thereby reduces set-up time. The high pressure hose can be connected to the trigger gun and machine, and can be released again at the touch of a button, making it quicker and easier to stow.
Plug ; Clean detergent system
Using task-specific detergents whilst cleaning have been shown to improve the end result, and the Kärcher Plug ; Clean system is a quick and easy way to effectively incorporate them with your pressure washer. With no separate tank required, simply plug your chosen detergent into the clearly visible, in-built chamber and allow the intuitive system to recognize when to feed cleaning fluids into the water flow for you. There are 6 Plug ; Clean detergents available:

Customer Reviews
I'm always slightly reluctant to order large appliances from Amazon, because of the hassle of returning it if there's a problem. However, they were offering this Karcher package at a cool fifty pounds less than my local Halfords, so I took the plunge.
Delivery was very prompt - the next day at some unearthly hour in the morning a cheery courier turned up with a large and heavy package. Assembling the washer was slightly trickier than an IKEA bookcase, but I managed it. A non-vital part (the loop for storing the pressure hose) was missing but that was not sufficient to justify a return. Inserting the pressure hose in the washer and the other end in the nozzle was tricky - the ends kept falling out until I pushed and twisted them harder. Removing the hose ends was too difficult - I eventually consulted a website that showed me how to do it. The supplied instruction book from Karcher was laughably deficient in these minor but important details.
However, once I had the washer assembled it went like a charm and the pressure and volume of water was really impressive. I had purchased this washer with the included patio cleaner precisely to clean my patio, which had been left to nature for eight years and was therefore hosting a varied and deep selection of flora and fauna. I first tried the patio cleaner sans detergent (thoughtfully supplied) and it made a pretty impressive job on a sample patch. The washer alone could do the job but at a much slower rate. I then inserted the detergent bottle and set the detergent supply valve to "Max". A satisfyingly sudsy mixture came out and applying this with the mixer nozzle and then using the patio cleaner on the sudsy area worked beautifully and did a job which my wife, not an easy person to please except on her wedding day, thought "amazing". Then the detergent dispenser went on strike and then it dispensed a small amount after fiddling. However, I still managed to clean at least 500 square feet of very grubby patio in less than 2 hours and was well pleased.
Overall review - the pressure washer was good but detergent dispensing on mine was pretty hit and miss (mostly miss) and the instruction book definitely needs a re-write with more details about silly but important bits like undoing the hose ends. The patio cleaner itself can be purchased separately but I believe is only compatible with Karcher washers. The patio cleaner itself is absolutely brilliant and does an amazing job on patios - mine even did a reasonable job on wooden decking (I know I shouldn't use a pressure washer but needs must). Washer - 8 out of 10; patio cleaner - full marks!
Bought this pressure washer to replace my old ageing one which I had bought from B;Q many years ago. I am pleased to say that this one seems to be better in ease of operation and a better length of hose plus the added benefit of extensions for the lances, especially if you are tall and you suffer from back problems due to being bent over for any length of time. The real plus of this package is the patio cleaner, I have never used one before and I was a bit sceptical of how good a job it would do instaed of using the rotating lance. Well I was suitably impressed as it did a very good job on both my block paving and my concrete paths, it uses less water, is much quicker and doesn't blast half the dirt and sand from your block paving up the walls or over you. Once finished just give a quick spray with the adjustable lance to take the dirt to the edge and clean up, job done.
Great value and service fron Amazon.
