Kärcher S 4 Twin Sweeper

Perfect for my artificial lawn! Having ummed and ahhhhed about this am so glad I finally bought it. Had also purchased the kaercher WD4 to hoover up my garden which worked really well at first. However, getting a hoover out is a chore in itself. You need to unwind the cable, attach the hoses and parts, get the extension cable out etc. And afterwards you need to put it all away! With the S4 you just lower it down and away you go. Granted it doesn’t pick up every speck like the hoover, however, it’s really easy to use and takes less time to cover a large area. It’s manual so no electricity required, just a bit of elbow grease! The S4 works on small leaves - eg those deposited by my neighbour’s incredibly annoying willow tree which drops all sorts of rubbish all year round on to our artificial lawn. It’s a horrible mess and was a constant battle to keep our garden looking tidy. With the S4, I just had to run it over the lawn a few times (had to go over some areas 2-3 times), but it certainly beats raking, sweeping up with dustpan and brush, and definitely beats hoovering! Pushing something across the lawn is much more satisfying than bending over to hoover up every square inch. The S4 also loved the debris on my patio, a further plus - a high traffic area which brings in a lot of dust into our kitchen! It does not like long twigs - anything longer than the length of the bristles itself basically. The front circular sweepers sweep everything in their path into the middle section, which then gets swept into the bin as the S4 is pushed forwards. The only downside is that the opening to the bin is at the foot of the S4, meaning that if you stand the S4 up after use, the rubbish empties out onto the ground. Therefore you need to empty out the bin before storing it away. Secondly the price - mechanical machine but at £105 it’s a little on the expensive end. That said, the less high tech things are the better these days, I find! (Case in point is the messing about with cables etc for an electric hoover). Finally the weight - it is a tad heavy/heavier than I expected, however is manageable. I can imagine that the S4 would not be great with big leaves - the autumnal shedding in vast quantities. But it’s great at pick up little bits - small willow tree leaves or broken up leaves.

Value for money handy sweeper.. Easy to assemble and a doddle to use. Bought two as part of warehouse cleaning work.. Collects 90% of debris,dust etc. Bigger items beed picking up by hand and put into the sweeper bin - no biggy! Avoid sweeping up any lengths of selophane / soft plastic as it coils around rear sweeper brush and intetferes with movement of sweeper. Still use the oul sweeping brush to get into corners / door openings etc but the sweeper has sped up jovs x 10 ! Recommend.

Game changer for keeping driveway clean

So pleased I bought this. The block paving outside my house collects dirt in various places. Before I bought this sweeper, the only thing for it was to use a dustpan and brush which is the most arduous job (sweeping dirt onto the road is not possible because it's 100 yards up a slope and sweeping it into the garden reveals how many weed seeds are contained in the dirt). Bits of trod down dirt needed a bit of a going over with a broom to loosen them, but then the sweeper was able to pick them up ok. Also picks up small twigs and leaves, but if you're looking for a leaf picker upper for autumn, you'll need something like a leaf blower which vacuums. If you're undecided, take a look at videos on YouTube (even the one in German!) and you'll see what it does. Brilliant for picking up dry (even slightly damp) dirt, which is what I wanted it for. I thought I needed a powered tool, but actually this manual push-along machine works great and is easy to operate - even for a not very strong, five feet tall woman like myself.

Good tool,well made but not very good on even small debris,ok for getting grit up but that's about it.

Bought this to keep on top of sweeping up leaves and other garden debris as we have a lot of trees. The sweeper is great, it gathers up everything in its path; stones, leaves, small twigs and is great for areas where soil deposits may collect after heavy rain. This device does not work well with lots of twigs at once. After cutting a hedge and gathering the trimmings by hand the sweeper will finish off the job nicely. A great tool that saves a lot of back breaking bending (and the grandchildren enjoy playing with it without realising they are helping to tidy my garden 😉)

I'm torn by this sweeper. It doesn't pick up big leaves or twigs longer than 5cm. So you need to rake the serious Lumps up first. The 20 litre collection box overflows, on level surfaces when it's 1/4 full, so you empty it every 2 minutes. If you try sweeping up hill, nothing gets into the collection box. Also the standard brushes are not great outdoors, they won't shift a wet leaf. I bought the wet brushes, which are much better. It's also really irritating that the collection box just sits in place, so when you pick it up, it's really easy to push the box out and drop it .... So in many senses it's rubbish. But if you do clear the big stuff first, and sweep in a down hill direction or on the flat,it sweeps really well and it picks up... It's tempting to use the leaf blower instead, but if it's windy everything goes everywhere and you have to pick it up, so in that scenario the sweeper is great. If I'd had the chance to test drive one, I'm not sure I would have bought one...

Does exactly what it states on the box, cleans really well and makes life really easy without breaking your back and covers a massive area very quickly, perfect for drives, patios, walkways and garage. Excellent !

Me gustan los productos de Karcher en general, y esta barredora funciona muy bien. No pesa mucho, con lo cual la puedes transportar de una parte a otra sin problemas. Barre bien, resulta cómoda. La usamos para zonas del jardín donde cae mucha pinaza y para barrer la rampa y la acera de casa. Genial

Towar zgodny z opisem! Szybka realizacja zamówienia!! Pełen profesjonalizm!!! P O L E C A M ! ! ! !

Aletin mantığını kavrayana kadar işe çok da yaramıyor gibi görünse de iş görüyor. Sürekli ileri hareketle, ileri geri yapmadan bir rota oluşturmayı başardığınızda maksimum performansı alabilirsiniz. Boşaltırken de önce arkasını yukarı kaldırıp kovayı çıkartırsanız ortalık tekrar kirlenmez. Çok dar köşeleri ya da sık ve sert dönüşleri olan yerlerde kullanımı zor, Engebeli zeminler için de pek uygun değil ama düz alanlar için çok küçük ve ince parçaları bile toplayabilen, tamamen mekanik, güzel bir ürün.

Purchased the Karcher S4 for general around the garden, pool & patio area sweeping, this unit works great for picking up garden waste, sand, leaves etc, very easy to use and it has great manoeuvrability & when finished the waste container is easy to remove for emptying, storing the Karcher S4 is a breeze, just loosen the two knobs on the handle and fold it up vertical then place it in your storage location for next time. The construction of this unit is mainly moulded plastic, which helps to keep the weight down to a minimum, but this machine design is robust for the tasks it is designed for, I’m Extremely happy with my Karcher S4 Twin Manual Outdoor Push Sweeper and highly recommend it to others for duties it’s designed to do.

L’ho acquistata per mia zia, che a turno deve pulire la corsia comune di un garage condominiale con una decina di box. Non sono io l’utilizzatore abituale, ma l’ho vista in azione alcune volte e il riscontro di chi la usa regolarmente è molto positivo. Rispetto alla scopa tradizionale ha ridotto sensibilmente sia il tempo sia la fatica: basta spingerla e le due spazzole laterali convogliano lo sporco nel contenitore. Per quella superficie il lavoro richiede circa la metà del tempo e il risultato è migliore. L’abbiamo provata anche in un cortile, dove ha raccolto bene foglie, polvere e piccoli sassolini. Il contenitore è semplice da rimuovere e svuotare. Anche lo stoccaggio è ben pensato: ripiegando il manico la macchina diventa molto sottile e occupa davvero poco spazio. La regolazione del manico non ci ha creato difficoltà. Per pulire garage, vialetti o cortili senza motore, batterie o cavi è molto più efficiente di una normale scopa, sia come risultato sia come tempo e fatica. Cinque stelle.
