| How to Restore Your Clean Garage Floor |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Hold on, partner! Don't saddle up your pressure washer and ride off into the sunset just yet.
Every spring, homeowners stake their claim to a clean garage floor. However, a summer-long onslaught of spider webs, oil stains and dried leaves can turn any little house on the prairie into a bug-infested bonanza.
The fall is a great time to declare a high-noon gunfight in your garage.
Take a good look at the vile filth on your floor. If you don't wash it away now, you will be living with it until spring.
You don't need any "stinkin' badges" to win this shoot out. But, some good advice always helps.
A Western With a Warning
Sure, safety tips aren't very macho, but they can save you from a premature trip to Boot Hill.
Be extremely careful using a gas-powered pressure washer near a garage. They emit odorless and deadly carbon monoxide gas. Make sure you always place the pressure washer outside of the garage in a well ventilated area.
The Magic Elixer
After you've moved your stuff off the floor, your natural reaction may be to start sweeping it with a broom. Don't! You can skip this step if you manage things correctly.
Spray the floor with either a heavy-duty degreaser or a concrete cleaner first. By applying the soap and water combination under low pressure, you'll prevent the dust from flying into the air when rinsing under high pressure.
Wet Sweep
Don't be in a hurry to rinse. Give the solution time to work. You can sweep the larger particles outside by simply attaching a floor brush to your pressure washer wand. In addition to removing the bigger particles, the foaming bristles also work the detergent into the deeper stains.
Fire Away
Now comes the fun part. Switch to high pressure and start spraying. Start from the back of the garage and gradually push the dirty water outside.
You don't have to flood your garage to get it clean. Pressure washers use 80% less water than a garden hose. The high pressure will force the majority of the water outside.
Finishing Touches
If you want to keep the water from splashing on your drywall, consider getting Karcher's surface cleaner. The revolutionary product uses water pressure to actually hover over your garage floor, giving it a uniform shine.
If you want your floor to be squeaky clean, Use a squeegee to remove the remaining water. |

| Karcher 2400 PSI Pressure Washer w/ Honda Engine Review |
| By Aaron Chase |
The Karcher 2400 PSI Pressure Washer starts up very easily. Strong efficient engine.
After a year, unit will not pressure up. Karcher replaced it. 6 months later, unit would not pressure up again. Replaced the wand, and all heads. Worked for another 4 months. It will not pressure up again.
What a headache... This unit requires a lot of maintanace.
PWD RESPONSE -- We've sold thousands of this unit. In fact, it's one of our best selling pressure washers. This is a unique incedent. We'll keep monitoring this model. |

I have had my Karcher 2400 for a couple of years, and when it runs, it runs great.
However, I have had multiple problems with maintaining the pressure. After the second use, I had to have the wand replaced (it simply broke in half) which was not under warranty.
I also had to have the unit fixed, so it would pressure up. Currently it is broken again, and will not pressure up.
Probably would not buy anther one. This machine is not used hard. In fact, I would estimate that I have used it a total of 10 times or less. |

| By JOHN LEE |
| THIS UNIT HAS WORKED PERFECTLY FOR ME FOR OVER FIVE YEARS NOW. I LOVE IT. THERE IS ONLY ONE PROBLEM AND THAT IS A MAJOR ONE. THE UNLOADER VALVE IS STICKING. THATS THE VALVE THAT LETS THE WATER OUT OF THE PUMP. SEVERAL AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHS HAVE TOLD ME THE INSIDES OF THE PUMPS ARE MADE OF METAL AND WILL START THE RUSTING PROCESS AFTER ITS FIRST USE. ONLY PUMPS WITH CERAMIC PARTS WILL NOT RUST INSIDE, AND THESE UNITS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE. THEY ALL TOLD ME I WAS VERY, VERY LUCKY TO GET 5 YEARS USE OUT OF MY KARCHER 2400. THE REPAIRS TO THE PUMP ARE NOT COST EFFECTIVE. |

| By Pressure Washers Direct |
The overall best selling pressure washer in 2006 was ... drum roll, please ... Karcher's G2400HH. This marks the fourth consecutive year Karcher's 2400 PSI pressure washer topped the charts.
The Karcher 2400 PSI pressure washer is perfect for light-duty and heavy-duty residential use. Its 5-horsepower Honda engine has plenty of power to tackle the toughest household chores. Plus, it comes with a DirtBlaster® rotating nozzle, which significantly speeds up cleaning time.
Don’t expect this model to repeat as a best seller in 2007. Karcher is replacing the model with a newer version. The specifications remain about the same, but it doesn’t include the extra accessories such as a turbo nozzle or longer high pressure hose.
PressureWashersDirect.com currently has less than 100 pieces of this best seller in-stock. Once they’re gone; they’re gone forever. |

| Karcher 2400 PSI Pressure Washer w/ Honda Engine Review |
| By Terence Nolan |
| Having used 3000+ psi power washers commercially for years, I'm pretty impressed with this unit. Does the job very well, easy to use, relatively quiet. Only problem, but of course, is the unwieldy hose, common though. Don't forget to fill crankcase with oil upon arrival - dip stick could have a better color background in order to see the actual oil level. Instruction book could emphasize the need, when having the machine running (idling) while you're applying soap or whatever, to periodically relieve pump pressure by shooting water through the gun every couple minutes of idling time. Pumps tend to last longer when you do. Overall, a more than adequate washer for a home owner as a reasonable price. |

| Karcher 2400 PSI Pressure Washer w/ Honda Engine Review |
| By John Edgar |
| The pressure washer arrived intact and ready to assemble. The rack that holds the pressure hose will only go on one side of the cart; opposite of the discharge side. The unit is compact, easy to manuver around. There is plenty of pressure for around the house or even light industrial work. I got the 25' hose; it's too short. It's also a little cheesy. The muffler is also on the same side as the pressure hose, and if it gets close to the exhaust (not touching), it will melt the casing. It would be great if the muffler was on the bottom. I will get lots of good service from this one. |

First the Good News. The Karcher 2400 is an excellent pressure washer and a great value. It's been our best-selling pressure washer for three straight years.
Now the Bad News. Karcher is discontinuing the model and replacing it with a new 2500 PSI version. Yes, the new model is more powerful, but it doesn't come with all of the extra accessories, including a turbo nozzle, longer hose and five-connect tips.
Time is Running Short. Pressure Washers Direct currently has less than 50 units of the best-selling model in-stock and ready-to-ship. Once they're gone, they're gone.
If you really want this model, order soon. Otherwise, you won't be able to get one!

| By Michael Katz |
Being EXTREMELY critical and frustrated with typical companies and customer service, I was amazed at the helpfulness, knowledge, politeness and accommodations of Pressure Washers Direct.
The unit came quicker than anticipated and I was ready to get started. There was a minor set back in that the handle slot was slightly bent. It wasn't serious, but frustrating as it was a new unit. Donna in customer service was on the same page as me, neither wanted to ship the unit back, but there still was the issue of the minor damage. Donna offered a credit for my trouble and I straightened out the problem on my end.
Once I used the washer, I couldn't have been happier. It started easily and had better than reported pressure. It was going above the abilities by stripping both the paint and stucco off of my house.
So far so good on everything about the unit except the hose which kinked on several occasions. Beyond that, this is a recommended purchase. Since I've only used the unit once so far, I'm giving it 4 stars until I have further use. |

| Received Machine in 5 days. Works like a charm. Well made machine. Starts easy (1 pull). Only had 1 little problem, the oil bottle was leaking when I got it, so the box and unit was a little oily. Did my whole driveway yesterday. Now it looks like it did 20 years ago (like New). |

ordered monday got package tuesday from ga to fl where i live. tried it out tonight wednesday works so much better than my old $89 electric.A 3 hour job turned into 50 minutes. You will just love the dirt blaster nozzle and the reach of the 50 foot hose.
Only one big complaint no effect on the cleaning but may say something about the quality control of Karcher. the left tire rubs metal sound as you move the machine how could they have not noticed that at the factory I guess they just did not care. That is why I gave it a 4 not a 5. |
