Karcher Better Quality than FAIP [Posted on 2007-06-25] I have owned a few Karchers. My old unit broke during some deck cleaning - it was probably about 5 years old. I ended up ordering an FAIP because there were several good reviews on it. I quickly regretted buying the FAIP PWS1750 unit.
I promptly returned the unit to Amazon and ended up buying this Karcher unit. It is considerably more money, but I believe it is worth it. It exudes much better quality in many ways over the FAIP. The high pressure hose reel is a great feature- this is the feature that sold me. Unlike the FAIP PWS1750, the hose stays connected when you reel or un-reel the hose - I mean, isn't that how a hose reel is supposed to work? It makes it very easy to put away (I only wish the power cord did the same thing).
The optional T-racer surface cleaner attachement is much better than the FAIP's ultra cheap PowerWash Broom.
It is on the high end for an electic power washer price wise, but also quality wise. You know the old saying; you get what you pay for. This unit is made in Germany whereas the FAIP is made in China.
This is my 3rd Karcher; the only weakness of most Karchers is the garden hose connection. It is not very robust and can break off if you don't take it easy -I don't know why they have not beefed that up over the years.
