I have had a Karcher 630M for about 20 years now. It has had regular abuse, dropped, left to get frozen in winter etc and in all that time its only had a new on/off switch and a pressure switch. About £30 per repair I think.
When bought it was top end of domestic and bottom end of commercial range and cost around £250. From my experience I would go for Karcher again.
Suppose once you find somthing you like, you stick to it.

I am enjoying the challenging awful weather in a very capable vessel surrounded by seamen
Worse weather to come by the way, next week will see very wet weather with snow very early hours Monday in Portsmouth area, there will be horrendous weather with thunderstorms and heavy hail at around 3pm in the south area of the M25 tomorrow, luckily I am not sailing in that area But will be driving through it 
Time to get my oil skins on

I've got a Karcher 620MH that has been useless and then failed totally on me as it looks like one of the switchs has gone 
http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_uk/hs.xsl/index_29342.htm
For £90 it may well be worth a punt as im sure the wind back reel would be quite usefull if only for cleaning the back garden and wheel arches on my FFRR FFRR Owner, very nearly became a D3 owner 
Test piloted a new D4 XS SDV6.. Gone and being forgotten i hope!!
