---------------------------------------------Pros:----------------------------------------------1. Good pressure for everyday cleaning of cars.2. Built in soap dispenser in nozzle. Soap suction pipe is provided at the rear of the machine(it's also a con).3. Value for money.4. Decent quality materials used.5. Unlike Kracher base models(K2) the motor does not have reported problems of leakage or seal breakage.6. Can be used with a bucket of water and a siphon pipe(read below for a cheap mod).7. Sound Level is decent, Not very loud. In the open, sounds like a big vacuum cleaner. Maybe in very congested societies would be an issue.8. IT'S FUN TO USE.---------------------------------------------Cons:----------------------------------------------1. Spares & Accessories are expensive.2. Only 6 months warranty.3. Water Pressure hose bends easily.4. Does not come with a tap attachment(costs only Rs 70-80 in the market, should have been included). That means you have to buy something additional to make it work the first time.5.Soap suction pipe is not very convenient, if you place a mug with soap you can't move the machine readily. Maybe a Screw-on bottle would have been more handy.6. Not very handy. There are 3 things jutting in and out of your machine. Water line going IN at the front of machine, Electricity Line going IN at the back of the machine, and the Water Line to pressure gun coming OUT from behind the machine. All these get entangled way too easily. A third of the time is spent disentangling these and ,placing the equipment at the ideal location.-----------xx--------------What to buy Immediately after/ before Delivery for making the machine functional------------xx-------------1.

After 15 months of occasional use iam providing this review.Pros1. Pressure is Good no problem.2. Machine is light weight.3. Buy a foam Lance and under wash nozzle it's worth .4. It's a pleasure gadget and good weekend time pass.5. Try and wash all your vehicles in one go and all your dirty household items.Cons1. Don't know where on Earth the spares are available? At least in Goa it is pain.2. The nozzle attachment O rings gets worn out fast and it becomes useless as no O rings match from open market , company does not provide. So buy the attachment again.3.Gun starts leaking after fair use ,so buy again.4.noise is more then a Generator . So every passerby will stare at you.5. Usefull only if you have a house/ bunglow on ground floor your own garden so the machine remains connected all time to the hose and electric point. Mostly if you have a open backyard with countinous flow of water or tank. Requires good inlet pressure.6. Don't try Changing the nozzle attachement frequently as it is pain to swap and the trigger gun will get damaged and may have to buy new again.Don't by this product if your a occasional car washer or don't have technical knowledge.use bucket wash or running hose wash and take it to Service centre Once a month.!Moving the product frequenty to use may take almost 30 minutes so good only if you have you own backyard.( Bunglows etc) .Person leaving in society pls avoid as you won't be allowed use of common water and it's a pain to get the machine outside the flat and back.If any company rep has read this pls for God's sake tell me where the O rings for nozzle and seal kits are available and finally where to get the machine repaired.

The unit performed well for 3 months. Problems started after 3 months after purchase. The motor is not turning off when the trigger is released. Water is leaking from the lance. It is lying unused now, Service center was of not much help. They are asking to replace the motor and change the connecting pipes, the price for which is almost 70% of a new unit.
