I have also had one for a duration of 4 years, and I have encountered no issues whatsoever. Significantly more durable than my two prior Karchers.

I too have had it for three years and it is still functioning well.

I feel the same way. I have had two Karchers, both of which exhibited excessive vibration and noise, both of which had leakage issues from the beginning resulting in pulsation at idle, and both of which ultimately failed with smoke and sparks coming out of the motor vents. Subsequently, I acquired a Nilfisk, and the disparity in performance is starkly contrasting. The machine seems to be well-designed and has outlasted both Karchers combined.
Purchasing a fifteen-pound adaptor from eBay let me to use the extra equipment I acquired for the Karcher with the Nilfisk.

I returned my machine today after using it just twice due to the discovery of a little leak on the floor underneath it. Experiencing a no-questions-asked exchange at the store. This device is impressive, however I believe I just had bad luck the first time I used it.

That now resembles a Karcher.

I had to search for it online... it's not a brand that I was familiar with.

Considering the significant increase in price, one would anticipate a much higher quality for a K2 or K3 Karcher compared to the mentioned product.

Over a decade ago, I purchased a pressure washer from Aldi, and I believe I previously expressed my satisfaction with its performance.

This tool has been extensively used for washing several automobiles, cleaning boats, patios, driveways, and various other surfaces.

This item has never had any repairs, nor has it ever been winterized or subjected to any similar procedures.

Features a metallic water intake connector (Numerous individuals use plastic, including a substantial number of Karcher products.)

Last week, the equipment had its first malfunction, when the high pressure hose developed a leak due to gradual deterioration, becoming both kinked and worn out, resulting in the leakage.

Nevertheless, I have no reason to express dissatisfaction. I believe the cost was around £100, which amounts to an average of £10 each year up to this point, supposing I were to forgo it now. However, a brand new 10-meter hose may be purchased for £12.99 on eBay.

I am curious about the durability of a new Nilfisk hoover cleaner.

Yes, mine has. I have many Karchers that had a short lifespan.
