Kärcher T 350 Wide Area Surface Cleaner

I was kind of doubtful about how effective this would be, but thought I'd give it a try as I'm sick of getting covered in dirt when I clean the patio.The good news is, it works better than I expected, with no noticeable difference in cleaning power over the standard high pressure lance. The huge improvement is in the fact that water isn't spraying everywhere and it also seems to be quicker. I'd say it easily halved the time I normally took.I used it with a new style K4 FC, and had to change the nozzles due to it having lower pressure than the higher rated ones, but the other nozzles were included and easy to change.In use, I decided to just use the lance for quickly cleaning around up the edges of the patio, then I used this cleaner. You need to go backwards and forwards over the same bit to fully clean it, but that's no big deal, as it's still quicker than the lance.I also used the lance to wash away any pooled water after the patio cleaner had done its stuff, but that was quick and easy, not needing the usual slow close up high pressure effort.Equally, you can't use this on the vertical or horizontal surfaces of steps, as it doesn't have enough surface area to make it worthwhile or effective, but that's no big deal either.But when it comes to patios, this is an absolute godsend. What's even better, is that we'll now use it twice a year to keep the patio cleaner, as it's so easy and quick to use.This really is a great product, being such an effective time saver.

Had second thought about purchasing this following some of the bad reviews. However I'm glad I did as it works really well.The instructions are somewhat brief and to the point, but my main concern, having bought some Karcher "Stone Plug and Clean" was no reference to using detergents with this device whatsoever. The answer is you can't!! The pressure in use is too high, so won't "mix" detergent with the water. Probably obvious to a regular pressure washer user, but I think there should have been a line about this in the instructions. So the procedure we used was:-Brush the Patio Area well to remove surface mess - leaves, dust, grit, and the like.Hose the area down with the Vario Power Lance and detergent set to "MIX". This is the standard lance provided with all Karcher power washers (I think...ours is a K4). It'll foam up a bit and it's quick and easy to cover the whole area, without much splashing.Leave this for a few minutes to soak inThen go over the whole area with the T-350...as per the instructions. Best to do this twice, brushing the surface down between each 'blast' of the T-350...this'll clear the very dirty water left after the initial application...of course depends on how dirty your patio is.. ours was filthy.Had one very minor problem half way through the cleaning process...I noticed it stopped cleaning as evenly, and left spray marks. On lifting the T-350 off the patio, I could see the "rotor" wasn't turning. On investigation a tiny bit of grit had jammed the rotor against the housing...took a second to remove, and no more problems...We were very pleased with the finished result. However I should point out that the "dirt grinder" lance - as supplied with the K4 does as good a job as the T-350 and is better at clearing grass and weeds from block paving BUT.....and this is the best feature of the T-350...the dirt grinder covers everything within range with muddy water and rubbish - you can't help but splash the muck everywhere...the T-350 however, is brilliant at containing this and gets just as good results over 95% of the area covered.Hope this report addresses some of the negative comments....but each to their own!

So, first. I see they're claiming this usually costs £79 and is now reduced by £30. Not true. I bought mine last week for £47. It may have been £79 for a day... once... but don't get fooled in to thinking you're saving £30!Now about the item. It does a pretty reasonable job. I used it to clean 10m x 4m brick paving that hadn't been cleaned for 3 years. Initially I was disappointed. The bricks looked only slightly cleaner. So I tried cleaning with the lance and saw that the T350 had actually cleaned up the stones quite well, but the loose dirt was just sitting on top. I allowed them to dry, swept the loose dirt away and gave the driveway a quick hose down and it looks pretty good.The best thing is, there's no mess to clean up afterwards. Previously, using the lance, I had to clean my neighbours' windows and cars.

Bought this T350 patio cleaner accessory to use with my Karcher K4 pressure washer. The instructions are clear enough, you should use the purple nozzles with the K4 model. The beige nozzles pre-installed were quite tight to remove, but hopefully this also means that the purple nozzles now in place will not be easily dislodged during use.It took me a few minutes to get used to using the cleaner, and it does a pretty good job, perhaps not quite as good as using the lance, but it took me less than half the time I normally take to clean my patio, it is quiet, and there are definitely no splashes so you don't need to worry about getting wet. Will try on my driveway next.A couple of points to note:You do need to sweep the area beforehand to make sure there are no stones etc which may damage the cleaner.The cleaner is round, so (this may be obvious) getting into corners will not work - you will be left with a small area where the cleaner cannot access.Whilst it does not make cleaning the patio a pleasure, it does make it much easier, and I can see me cleaning the patio much more regularly, simply because it is so painless to use. Overall, very pleased and would recommend.

El equipo esta bien, funciona pero yo esperaba fuera más efectivo con la limpieza, hasta el momento sólo lo e usado una sola vez.

Good stuff

Funziona perfettamente è leggero e comodo.Ha pulito bene ogni superficie che ho trattato fino ad ora.Pulisce bene anche gli angoli.Soddisfatto.

Vraiment top. Utilisé sur Karcher K4.Vous n’êtes pas trempé, pas d’éclaboussures.Le réglage de hauteur des buses s'adapte à tous les type de sol.La grille de protection empêche la casse du bras en cas d'obstacle.La buse d'angle, très pratique, bascule des buses par simple pression du pieds.Mes terrasses ont retrouvé leurs couleurs en un temps record, sans salir les murs avec les éclaboussures.Franchement, je recommande.

Un comodissimo lava superfici che ho abbinato alla mia Karcher K4. Facilissimo da montare, si sostituiscono gli ugelli in base al modello — tutto indicato nelle istruzioni — e si è pronti a partire. Solido nella struttura è anche leggero da trasportare e non troppo ingombrante da riporre. Lava perfettamente ogni superficie ed è molto modulabile. Pulisce bene anche gli angoli — cosa della quale ero un po' scettico, ma sono dovuto ricredere — e spazza via ogni tipo di sporco, il tutto senza schizzare ovunque a differenza della lancia classica dell'idropulitrice. Un ottimo accessorio per completare una già ottima macchina Karcher.
