Hi,
It sounds like your Karcher pressure washer is still under warranty. Our Rapid Exchange warranty program is designed to do exactly what you're looking for- for electric pressure washers still covered by warranty, we will replace with the same (or equivalent) new machine at no cost to you- no shipping costs, and no need to send the old machine back to us. Please give our customer care center a call at ************ and we'll gather some information from you and get a new machine headed your way.

I am rejecting this response because:I have not received the email confirmation from Karcher when the replacement will be shipped at no cost to me. I called Karcher reps Monday 2 days ago, spoke to ***************************, then emailed her and karcher at **************************************************** <****************************************************>, which is where to send the form for warranty replacement and never get a confirmation when the free replacement will be shipped to me. Attached is screenshot email to ******* and Karcher above (Email to Karcher to Request Warranty Free replacement PressureWasher.png) and warranty replacement form (newest karcher form (23).pdf), attached to email above.
Sincerely,

This customer was actually dealing with a third party retailer who sells our parts and equipment, and not Karcher itself. That ******* is Ordertree.com. Nevertheless, I reached out to Ordertree to make sure they had properly refunded this customer's money. They informed me that the customer had been credited. The customer then added a note to the ******************** complaint saying the refunded amount was not the correct full amount. I relayed this to Ordertree, and they informed me that they then corrected the error and refunded the customer the rest of their money on 5/25/22. The customer has now been fully refunded their original purchase price.
