Kranzle Power Washers
Hi,
Does anyone have a Kranzle power washer? Very expensive but seem to get fantastic write ups and last for years.....
I'm very tempted to get one and start using in the Spring...I'm sick of Karchers just not cutting it and wearing out after not that much use really.
I'm (sort of happy) to pay £400 / £500 for a Kranzle, but are they as good as I think they are?

I used a pro HD series Karcher for a period, for work..it always cut out, blew customer's fuses, wouldn't work on an extension.
Then it started smoking and burnt out.
My local pump specialist said they dont touch them, recommended Italian Intapumps as totally repairable, and I got a small Honda powered pump for about £650.
It is so much more practical and mobile. ...I'll look who I got it from later today.
I'd never go back to electric.

Karcher have gone downhill,
I switched to Nilfisk, besides 1 o ring leak its been fine for a long time now, always empty them of water fully if you ever think it may get hit with a frost,
But re your original question,
I dont know anyone who owns one, Id guess its more Pro use, suppose the cost has a bit to do with that,,
But pop over to Detailing World, I bet you will get a few better answers.

Got my Kranzle today, picked it up from Simpsons in Westbury this morning. Gerry there sure knows his stuff after 40+ years in the industry. I had a 2 month wait for the machine to arrive from Germany.
Can't wait to start using it...."super stoked!", I upgraded it with more stainless steel quick release.
15 metre swivel hose - TEMA quick release on the water output on the machine, and a quick release Obsessed Garage style Suttner ST-2600 swivel short gun / lance with quick release for the nozzles. Also modified my Autobrite foam cannon to quick release into the Suttner gun.
K10 122 TS - 10 litres per minute at 122 bar with Total Stop feature - let go of the trigger and the machine shuts down.
I was a bit concerned about how much juice it pulls, but with a decent thick gauge home made cable extension (10 metres not wound on a reel), I shouldn't be popping any fuses or cooking any wiring.
My 2021 model has the power switch on the rear of the blue electrics box and the power lead now feeds into the rear too. Kranzle also dropped the electric box side skirts as they were getting broken sometimes during shipping apparently. Sounds like Kranzle do their homework / listen to their customers.
These naked machines may look a bit barbaric and industrial, but I went for function over form and, above all, reliability. Everything feels built to last and weighing in at 23kg for an electric power washer, it aint no lightweight contender!
