Disconnect the input hose then run the pressure washer for about 10-15s. The pump will start to run while pushing through residual water. It won't get everything out but it will greatly reduce the possibility of icing up in the pump.
DONT run it for too long like this and you will have to power it off for it to stop. Releasing the trigger will not stop it.

How do you drain all the water ?

Well said

As is the usual Karcher plastic pump comment. The usual failure is people failing to drain water. So in winter the pumps go pop as they freeze up in Sheds and Garages. My K2 lasted 5 years of reasonable use. Then sold it on when I upgraded to a K5 last year.
I'm not disagreeing that Nilfisk is good. However you tend to have to pay a bit more for them.

Good refurbs:

and kranzle ones will last 100 times longer than nilfisk

Karcher have a plastic pump and nilfisk are aluminium. The nilfisk will last 4 times as long as the karcher.

Cold. Go for the nilfisk offer.

Great buy if you manage to find stock.

Seen this model on Amazon for £125 last week and thought that was a bargain (submitted a deal but was deleted)

Heat added hanks for posting, I'm looking for a new pressure washer!

With a Rrp of £150, that is much lower than the new K4...... strange
