Default Kranzle K7/122 TS jetwash..

Well I kind of treated myself to a pre-Christmas present

Been looking for something to replace the Karcher for a while and was looking at the K7 Full control but thought I’d have a look around at what other people use.

Come across Kranzle being mentioned quite often and a quick scout on YouTube showed me many mobile detailers use Kranzle pressure washers.

After a shop about I found a K7/122 TS for little more money than a Karcher K5..

Unit arrived today and by gosh is it worlds apart from a Karcher!

Everything is brass or aluminium and feels solid !! The unit itself is 22kgs! The wand and gun are three/four times as heavy as the plastic Karcher items and really feel well made.

The hose itself is 10mtrs and steel braided so should hopefully last longer than the Karcher extension hoses I’ve split time and time again.

I may have become Auto Finesse’s best customer of late and hopefully father xmas will bring me some bits to play with and I can test it out fairly shortly. I shall report back!

Also had to get another snow foam Lance with Kranzle fitment but even that it’s all brass.

Very nice. Is the hose better than the Karcher? I always find the Karcher one a bit inflexible and twists easily.

It’s very sturdy and weighs quite a bit more than the Karcher one...

That's the biggest annoyance with my Karcher, the hose seems to just loop up and i'm forever trying to untwist it!
