- A look at the Karcher K7 Premium Smart Control. Smart control is a bit of a waste of time and money. This is a great power washer and very good at cleaning dirty patios. Knowing what I know now, I would not opt for smart control and save some money.

That was a brilliant review! Finally know what I’m supposed to be doing after 2 years and I can use without the Smart Control which would never connect! Completely pointless app and stopped me loaning it out to friends as I didn’t think it worked without app! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for this video, we just bought one and have been tearing our hair out trying to get it to work, the whole app thing was ridiculous, we had to use it to get it to work. Your video really helped.
Glad I could help! :-)
Excellent review, it is so enjoyable listening to a man who knows what he is talking about! Overall looks like a great product
Thank you! :-)
The way you explain it is fantastic! I don’t feel overwhelmed now, using my new pressure washers thanks
Glad I could help Jake! :-)
Excellent review.
I'm just after buying the k7..
There is not a whole lot of info in the manual.
Your review summed it up nicely 👌
Thank you for sharing.
Glad I could help Jamie! :-)
@RussellPlatten Is the handle that you pull up , so you can walk with it supposes to be very loose ..
is there anyway of tightening it??
. If I let go it just drops back down
Good honest review and would have to agree the Smart feature looks pointless, just something else to go wrong that adds virtually nothing to the machine.
I think it is just an easy mod to allow a price hike. :-)
a tip : watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Jonathan Miller Definitely, have been using Flixzone for years myself =)
I got a K7 premium , I absolutely love it never had so much power its truely the top of its class .
It is a fine machine! :-)
Top man, haven't seen the review in full, but impressed with what you've put together. Effective presentation, info, filming, speech and everything. Thank You
Thank you! :-)
Easy to tell that you are genuinely a good man
Thanks Russell for taking the time to show us the K7. I was undecided what to buy between K4 K5 and K7 . I have decided to go for the K7 Premium Smart control with the T racer connection, I know the smart control is useless but I do not think I can buy it without unless I buy an older model. I am based up in Stockholm Sweden and it is getting sold on our Amazon up here for around the same price as you pay in the UK. Keep up the good work pal.
I am glad that I could help Colin. I was using my K7 this morning and it is a good machine. I have also got my hands on an Ava Master P80 and in my opinion it is a better power washer than the Karcher K7. There is an issue with some of the Ava Master P80 machines here in the UK due to the 13A fuse in the UK plugs. Not a problem for Sweden though. Either machine will get the job done. Enjoy your new machine! :-)
@@RussellPlatten thanks Russ. I haven’t ordered it yet actually just about to do it. I will take a quick look at the Ava master. I am not too familiar with this manufacturer but will definitely compare prices and flow rates and power. Finally nice weather up here. Been a long winter so it’s now or never I need to make my mind up ))
Ava have taken over the market in Norway. Apparently every other pressure washer owned in Norway is an Ava of Norway machine. I am very impressed with the two that they sent me. It is a real pity I had an issue with the fuses blowing on the Master P80. I have still used it for the vast majority of my patio cleaning and it is now my favourite power washer. :-)
Great review Russell, i have imprint concrete and find the power washer not the t-racer best to make the green go away! Look forward to your next Vid 🙂
:-)
thank you! Just bought a K7 Premium 👍👍👍👍
Another excellent review sir! Love your content, always full of knowledge and guidance tips. If you don’t mind what do you do for a living as you’re a very well rounded knowledgeable chap.
Thank you! I am retired now after 18 years working offshore. I worked predominantly as a control room operator and finished up in control of work. Previously, Merchant navy, factory worker, police constable, chemical plant operator and I had a Saturday job in a restaurant as a pot washer before I left school. LOL
tutorial extremely weel done. congrats from Roma, Italia.
Thank you very much! :-)
Totally agree about the smart phone, waste of time and money. A well done review, well explained throughout. Insightful. Take notes people, take note!, if you want this expensive kit to last. I seen plenty of videos and you are up there with the very best ones. I might suggest you to avoid hitting, pressure washing by mistake the hose rail and sweep regularly when using the T racer. Keep the good work. Greetings.
:-)
Yes i agree great review 👍
I only hope this machine has a better build quality then the K4. I've just bought this machine instead of buying Kranzle because i have far too many snowfoam cannons and after market lances / accessories.
I'd also like to mention this machine will only be used on vehicles
I still have my K4 and it has served me well, it paid for itself the first time I used it. I think the K7 will knock a lot of time off the tasks I will use it for. It certainly seemed quicker when I reviewed it. I will be starting my yearly patio clean up in a few days. :-)
Great review; I appreciate the honesty; the smart connect is just a gimmick.
Thank you Kai! :-)
Thanks Russell, a Great review. Is was good to see the K7 put through its paces and yes it has helped me to decide on a K7. cheers and thanks
Glad I could help Todd! :-)
Best k7 review i have seen .Thanks
Very nice review sir.
A few years ago, my K620M broke down, +170€ on parts only to fix it😢
Bought a K3 very cheap at 99€, still does a good job but ooooooh i miss my 620....
So i just ordered the 'dumb' version of the K7 premium because i don't understand the existence of a HPC with an app that costs more money for nothing. Just to be sure to get over the loss of my beloved 620 hahaaa 😅
The basic K7 is the probably the best Dave! :-)
Thanks for this. I decided to purchase the K7 Premium without the electronic crap on the handle. A bit of extra power control would have been nice but I don't need to be shelling out for app-based gimmicks or faffing with batteries - it's a pressure washer FGS! 🤭
You made the right decision as far as I am concerned! :-)
Great review, I have just took delivery today of the k7. Just a side note if you have a look at Direct hoses they do an extension hose long enough so you don’t have to keep moving the unit around
Thank you Andrew! :-)
Excellent and concise review, a pleasure to watch. Watching you push the T-Racer forward and seeing it get stuck - would you not wish that it had free-rotating wheels like the professional heads use?
Yes, wheels would be a great improvement! :-)
Great review! my k2 is going straight on gumtree.
:-)
Good Review Russell and like your honesty :-) Just too many combinations for me, il stick with the 1 iv'e got :-)
I think Karcher add complication to increase the price Russ! :-)
Top review thanks. Correct me if I’m wrong but I do believe the standard K7 comes without the surface cleaner attachment were as the premium come with the hose reel smart control and the extra surface cleaner attachment
I too am not 100% sure Callum. I am fairly sure (LOL) Premium means it has a hose reel attached and Home means it comes with the surface cleaner. :-)
Great honest simple review. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Robert! :-)
dude, remove the dry dirt first. Love using the T-racer btw, no detergents and very good result. I usually do it once a year
:-)
Thanks Russell. Much appreciated.
Glad I could help David! :-)
Excellent video of information. I agree with you about why it requires a app and phone with Bluetooth to use it the worlds gone mad it seem now every thing must have a app and mobile phone links makes you wonder how we managed without all this crap.
Yes Vic, I can see Ava of Norway taking over the market. Their Master P80 I reviewed is much better to use than the K7 and has no gimmicks. Much longer guarantee too. I think Karcher have started to take advantage of their loyal customer base! :-)
Many thanks Russell, an excellent video - way better than the Karcher efforts.
My K7 Premium has been stolen along with mountain bikes, golf equipment, etc. Anyway, I never used the Bluetooth function - exactly because, as you said, Karcher doesn't explain anything about it - even in their booklet or on their videos.
So, like you, I have a lot of patio and paths front and back, so I need high performance. If I didn't go for the K7 Premium again to avoid paying for the Smart function, which model would you suggest, please?
The thieves didn't take the T-Racer attachment, but this is not an optional extra anyway. So it's just a spare now.
I would forget about Karcher and look at Ava of Norway pressure washers. I have reviewed two of their machines and they are great value with a long warranty. I am not an affiliate and do not have any discount codes or links to their products. I was in contact with them for a few weeks when they asked me to review their machines and they seem like a company that actually cares about their customers and their products. Karcher make good machines, but they keep adding useless modifications/functions to allow them to up the price for no real gain to the customer. I have been very impressed with the two machines from Ava that I reviewed. No gimmicks, just a well built pressure washer with a long warranty and good performance. Better than Karcher in my opinion! Your T-Racer will fit the Ava washers too. :-)
@Russell Platten I fully understand and do agree Karcher have a terrible customer support - I rang a couple of times - before Covid excuses - and was always "14th or 15th" in a queue.
I will look at your independent videos now and appreciate your advice.
I'd like to keep you informed if you're interested Russell?
Thanks for letting me know about my T-Racer. This is a great thing to keep splashes off the walls - and feet.
That's a great review. I've just bought this and unboxed it following your other video and I'm ready to use it now.
I have the brick detergent. Was you using that in your video? I'm not sure how and when to use it. Cheers! Great videos thanks! 😊
Hi Karen, I have never used detergent on my patio, so I can not really comment on whether it is worth using. I find that the pressure washer does a perfectly acceptable job without pre soaking with detergent. It may make a difference, but my patio areas always get very dirty and mouldy over winter as my house is completely surrounded by deciduous trees. I have to clean it every year and don't bother with detergent. I do use detergent for some other jobs. Detergent certainly would not hurt, but it can become a little expensive if you are cleaning large areas. :-)
@@RussellPlattenthats great! My patio is black from pollution. I live on a main road. Its never been jet washed in 17yrs so I'm going to treat it with solution then just water scrub it every year (hopefully)
Thanks again!
Great review mate, thank you!
Thank you Guy! :-)
Would you choose this over the k7 compact ? Thanks for sharing
Very Good Review Sir!! Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you Andrea! :-)
Sold!! Thanks mate! 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Glad I could help! :-)
@@RussellPlatten have you had any problems with the K7 since? Thanks
Excellent
Hi, amazing review!
I wonder, is there any difference between T450 patio cleaner and this T7 racer patio cleaner? Cant seem to find the answer anywhere on the net.
Also do you know, per chance, ehat difference, and if, is there between premium full control version of K7 and Premium Smart control, besides the app?
Smart control seems to have a bit of a newer machine or something, but not sure if this model is better than the few year old one.
Thanks!
I cannot see any real difference between the T450 and T7 patio cleaners. As for Full Control, this means that the pressure of the vario lance is altered by twisting the end of the lance to increase or decrease the fan spread. Smaller spread, higher pressure. On the Smart Control, there is a different lance and the pressure is adjusted by selecting it electronically using the buttons on the lance. I personally would go for the Full Control, the good old fashioned way the adjust the pressure. Much less to go wrong with it. You can see full control demonstrated on the review I made of my K4 a few years ago. Compare it to this review and you will see the difference. The display on the Full Control gun only indicates the pressure at the nozzle and will change as you alter the vario lance. :-)
Great review. It was good to see the inlet water flow requirements. However it would be good to see what the output flow rate is out the pressure washer gun.
Reason being I have done a test with my Karcher K4 spraying into a bucket with a hole in the lid to minimise any water loss. Karcher state the K4 uses 7 litres a minute. However I found this was closer to 5 litres on the max pressure on the vario lance. Which 40% less in flow. I have no idea how to measure the pressure in bars but if the flow is 40% less then stated then the pressure must be less as well
Would be good to see on a K7 to see how close it is to the stated spec. It may also mean you don't need a supply as high as 12 liters a minute from the tap. As if the output is less then 12 litres the input must not use 12 litres.
Keep up the helpful consumer advice 👌
Unfortunately, manufacturers are permitted to use the maximum pressure achievable under laboratary conditions and this means that the specified max pressure figure is probably when the pump is running and then dead headed with maximum flow rate and inlet pressure. None of which would really be possible in the real world.
The pressure is increased by restricting the flow so the flow rate will be less than the maximum stated flow which will be achieved in a laboratory too and be measured with the pump operating without a discharge hose connected and at max inlet pressure.
However since all manufacturers do the same thing, the K7 will be better than the K4 and probably have a max discharge pressure in the real world of around 140/150bar. It is pretty devious, but unfortunately if a manufacturer was honest with the figures, they would sell fewer machines than their competitors.
Sorry to ramble on David, as you can tell it annoys me! LOL :-)
@@RussellPlatten
Hi Russell
I agree its quite annoying and all industries are affected by these overinflated lab figures that come with a small print. Hard to compare between brands and even models.
Checking out this video by obsessed garage. They did a test on pressure flow and electrical draw. th-cam.com/video/eAXXPSBFRug/w-d-xo.html. They tested all the karcher K series versions available in the states. However the K7 is not available in the states. They found the K4 and K5 are identical. Although they look like the older design models to be fair. Its worth a watch.
Cheers
@@daviddrcray3802 yeah, Matt at OG is pretty thorough (may be an understatement 😀), but all their domestic machines work off 120V so his figures will probably be different to ours as demonstrated by the Kranzle models he raves about although the specs for these seem more true to life.
@@peterben5987 Good point never thought of the voltage difference.
The AVA pressure washers featured by Russell maybe the way forward. Definitely matches Kranzle for build and servicing ability and probably better for the consumer market with a long warranty compared to the Kranzle 1 year warranty.
Will be looking into a AVA replacement once my karcher eventually stops working.
Which connection is the t racer. They all look the same. Is this an add on when you buy direct.
Cheers
I am not sure what you mean Joseph. The T Racer is the patio cleaner and it has the usual Karcher bayonet socket. :-)
Great review Russell. I see that the T7 racer/patio cleaner works on the K4, K5 and K7. I'm going to be buying a new Karcher washer soon so I wonder could you tell me if the T7 racer works more powerfully on the K7 than say the K4 as I'm only buying for patio cleaning and if the output on the racer was the same I'd just get the smaller verion washer if that makes sense?
Hi Ciaran, the T7 racer is much better on the K7. I also have the K4, it has had a hard life and has developed an issue so I decided to upgrade. The K7 is far better. I reviewed the K4 with a patio cleaner and you can see the difference. The T7 racer uses the water pressure to spin and a higher pressure means more revolutions and more cleaning power. The K4 did do a great job, but it is slower. :-)
Thats great Russell thanks very mich for the quick reply. Thata made my mind up quickly. Keep up the good work, cheers - Ciaran
@@ciarankehoe :-)
I’ve just got the karcher k3 power and it’s awsum
:-)
7:17 so satisfying.
My wife and I find pressure washing very relaxing. We both enjoy this time of year! :-)
10:49 hmm you didn't lower it down enough, I think it would do the same job but will take longer...but good review...
:-)
I have got the K7 and not working like this at all. So frustrating, I have to send it back
Have a look at the Ava of Norway pressure washers André. I think they are better than Karcher. :-)
@@RussellPlatten Thank you. I was told Kärcher is best brand to do that. I think I better pay someone to do it or just wait and let all the other slabs to get darker so it will be uniform.
I think Ava are better than Karcher. I reviewed two of their pressure washers th-cam.com/video/3v4EXgAGkYU/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/ZH7WxFYsXlg/w-d-xo.html you can see how both of them perform on slabs. :-)
Good review, thanks 👍
Glad I could help! :-)
I have the k7 for 11 years and the best part is the dirtblaster the db 160 and the old vario lance saves lot of time the you have the t7 right please tell me how much it cost for my k7 I have wont to change the t 300
This is a link to the T7 on Amazon. Look around you may find it cheaper. amzn.to/39VT5CL
Thanks for the review, agree it's a good machine but the app is irrelevant
Agreed Peter! :-)
Great review - I came to find out if my k7 full control premium plus is broken or not.
Just doesn’t seem THAT powerful where as yours does
My tap delivers the water rate you advise, although that seems to be lower at the end of the hose... maybe that’s a TH-cam.
The t racer seems really weak too - the mode select for it appears to be the mixer, is that an issue?
I’m just really underwhelmed - I was expecting it to shift dirt like it does in your video !
Maybe mines a dud 😭
Hi Richard. I don't understand what you mean by the mode select. If you are using the high pressure jet, the dirt grinder or the t racer for your patio, your gun should be set at maximum pressure. If you have the lance set to mix, it will not develop a high pressure. Just twist the end of the lance to the dirt grinder nozzle for your patio as this is better than the jet. The t racer should be run on the highest pressure too. Adjust the pressure using the + button on the handle. :-)
@@RussellPlatten hi Russell thanks for the reply.
I explained poorly but I’ve figured it out - right before I was about to give up!
The pressure at my tap is good. The pressure at the end of the hose is not.
I swapped out for a short section of hose and wow, it’s actually insane the difference it’s made!
It’s so so powerful!
The issue I guess is the hose length and being able to maintain pressure that far.
Yes, the pressure drop across a long hose can be considerable. That is why I measured the flow at the end of the hose. The way around using a shorter hose is to get a high pressure hose extension if you cannot reach all the areas you want to. Well done for sussing it out! Happy cleaning! :-)
@@RussellPlatten
Blocked hose 🤦
Helo Russel, thanks for your help.
Do you know what is the version with the highest power without useless fancy functions?
Thanks
That's literally what I've been trying to look up/find out.
From what I've seen, the compact and Prem have the same power outage, but the compact only have one pressure whereas the premium one you can manually change between the different pressures / uses. :)
@@Sir-Bane Thank you very much 😊
@@scopwr I think I'm going to go for the prem version for the gun handle, although I'm not too fussed about the actual patio box cleaner bit.. sigh, ah well :P If I get it and try it, I'll try remember to reply back to you to say how it was!
@@Sir-Bane wow you are a star 👍💪

Anyone unable to connect to their K7 Smart Premium by Bluetooth since the latest app update? I have removed the device from the app, deleted the app l, rebooted and reinstalled everything to no avail. It’s like it’s not broadcasting a Bluetooth signal. This is on an iPhone.

Hi@Russell Platten, would you like to review the new MJJC foam cannon pro? Thanks.
Yes, I will review it. :-)

@@RussellPlatten Hello, I have sent you an Email, please kindly check it out. Thanks.
This is so funny, an app for a pressure washer😂
It is just a gimmick! :-)
Hi Russel. Does the boost mode make a big difference as the one I’ve purchased doesn’t make much if any difference.cheers Ady.
I did not notice any real difference on mine Ady. :-)
@@RussellPlatten Cheers for the reply. I’ve taken mine back as I don’t think it’s a good pressure washer and when I spoke to karcher they said it should boost from 160bar to 180bar so should be a big difference.
I am using Ava of Norway pressure washers now Ady. They sent me 2 for review and in my opinion they are better than Karcher. No gimmicks, with long guarantee (up to 20 years) and very well designed. Take a look at their pressure washers. :-)
@@RussellPlatten I ordered the evolution p80 for £360 from a distributor but the ordered was cancelled due to having lots of faulty items blowing fuses. Is the Ava p80 more powerful than the k7.
Sir without connect smart can't use this mechin?
It works without the app. :-)
Is it normal that the water doesnt come off the pistol?
Not sure what you mean Miguel. :-)
The db 160 was the best for the your karcher and it has more power than the the 3 in 1

Thank you! :-)
@@RussellPlatten your welcome

What settings did you have when the t-racer was on?
Everything on max. :-)
very useful review
Glad it was helpful! :-)
So I've only used this pressure washer one time. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.
:-)
Good product.. except the wand not very hardy .. and not especially needed
:-)
Do you think this one is better than the Ava P80? Cheers!
In my opinion, the P80 is a better machine Graeme. :-)
Definitely nowhere near 12l/min, it's just over 9 max from the official specs (550l/hrs max), but otherwise great review
I used thr figure that was in the instructions Peter. :-)
Looks like a good machine but what possesed them to make it app controlled. Smart phones and water in most cases aren't a good combination. Whatever next a smart phone app to control the temperature of your shower. The worlds gone mad 😊
It literally adds more time as you have to open the app, select the task and send the pump setting to the washer instead of selecting the pressure on the gun! I think that the instructions do not include the app because people who research products before they buy, will see it is a bit of a con Paul! The app should be free and just have the steps and settings for various tasks. Basically, online instructions! :-)
@@RussellPlatten they could have used the connectivity for a lot more.
Logging working hours and gallons of water used, recommending maintenance based on that logging, reporting errors, finer settings for the soap dispenser, etc...
And I have enough experience with app controlled devices to pretty much guarantee they will at some point break it permanently.
On that note, it's a good thing the device does not depend on the app whatsoever.
Does it remove the black spots
No, you need to use Sodium Hypochlorite to get rid of balck spots. I have made a video showing how to do that: th-cam.com/video/HQCnMktFUqg/w-d-xo.html :-)
I have this, but I can't for the life of me get it to connect to my phone...not that I'll use it anyway lol
The app is a complete waste of time Vikki! :-)
incorrect you meant to prime the machine first before use it
Why on earth make them so dam conmlicated now ! I have the old Karcher 750MX and is still going strong after at least 15 years. Simple to use and was very powerful. This silly gimmick with electronic controls on the gun. Give me a new 750 MX any day !!
Agreed James! :-)
I like Ava
I don't know her! :-)
@@RussellPlatten it's a Norwegian brand i have Ava p60 pressur washer. You can use ava adapters on karcher also. Fun fact if you turn the patio adapter upside down you can use it to wash the chassis under the car 😂
@@moholdt3335 I have never heard of them before. They are available on Amazon UK. Scandinavian standards are high, so I would imagine it is good quality equipment. :-)
@@RussellPlatten yea its about the same standard as karcher each brand have up and downsides
@@moholdt3335 That is worth knowing. :-)
Why on earth would you want your phone connected to the appliance ? When using the pressure washer why would you want your phone in your hand? When you're not with your pressure washer , why would you need to have the controls on your phone ??
It is just a gimmick so that they can put the price up for very little cost Dan! :-)
I do not think it is 12 Liters per minute mate .. it has 10 Liters per minute mate .. You should have bought a Kränzle 1152 TST mate
LOL - Don't know what happened there John, the instruction manual (page 15) states 12l/min, Amazon 600l/hr! s1.kaercher-media.com/documents/manuals/raw/000/BTA-5665929-000-01.pdf
I am waiting for a delivery from Ava of Norway, they have asked me to take a look at one of their power washers. it'll be interesting to see how they compare to karcher. I have heard good things about Kränzle, buy I bought the Karcher because I have always been happy with their gear. I have had three Karcher power washers, all paid for by me so I decided to stick with them. :-)
@@RussellPlatten Thanks for the friendly and polite reply Russ.. normally when the liter rate gets towards 11 or 12 per minute and above liters the motors are switching over from 230 V to 400 V. plus the prices rise considerably.. regardless 10 Liters per minute is very good... But IMo the kränzle for the Prices and Build quality and effective working is miles ahead of the karchers ( 10/122 TS or K1152 TST for example )
@@fensterputzernuernberg I will take that onboard John. Too late now though, I paid £585 for the K7- LOL. Let's see what the Ava is like, I have heard good things about them. You are not the only one to sing Kränzle's praises, vehicle detailers seem to like them a lot! :-)
@@RussellPlatten You have the faster 3400 RPm motor the K1152 TS-T and HD 10 / 122 and slower 1400 RPM motor K7/122 ... Both K 1152TS-T and the formidable HD 10 / 122 both are 10 Liter machines albeit with less Pressure ( k1152 =130 BAr and HD10/122 = 120 BAr ) that dont matter that the pressure is not 180 BAr or what not.. what is important is flow rate. Trust me both the 10 liter machines are great and the UFO surface cleaner BLue Plastic one is absolutely brilliant !! add alittle wd 40 to the spinning arm.. it has a built in spinning arm protection plate.. the UFO is light robust and simply highly effective.. The detailers often use the 7/122 ( 1400 rpm machine ) because it can suck water out of any container , bucket or barrel and also has lower amps and watts to use on a Generator ( mobile cleaning ) If you live in a soft water area get either the 10/122 or even better the K1152 TST with total stop and a hose reel ( much better hose and reel than karcher !! ) and is 15 meters of hose . NO i do not worl for kränzle i simply own 4 or 5 of them myself ( i am a professional cleaner in Germany )
@@fensterputzernuernberg Cheers John, you obviously know your Kränzle equipment! You never know, I might try one someday! Thank you for giving me the information. :-)
so in short, the whole smart , isnt smart at all. the smart function is just an app on the phone which is actually just a guide with how to use the system. rather than being able to do anything with the system with the hose. so they have wasted money and resources for the new version, only to do a slight revision to the design visually, and add a "app" thats just a different way of looking at their normal guide.
Yes there is nothing smart about it apart from making more money for the manufacturer! :-)
maybe we would hear what was happening inside the machine if u shut up for a second
:-)
It’s a pointless app
It certainly is Chris! :-)
Good review 👍
Thank you! :-)
