It did come with a circular rotating nozzle assembly but that is
reluctant to spin and is basically a waste of space.

Clean the jets. I use one and they need cleaning with the supplied
pricker now and then otherwise it stops rotating.


If it shows any reluctance to spin, without water, if you simply
flick the rotating arm, it may be that grit has got into the
moving parts, and it needs cleaning out.


It's never worked from the first time I connected it. But I discovered
that too late for the guarantee!

However, the problem is solved: I've replaced the K2 with a K4 and the
dirt flies off the blocks. Topcashback
(https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/digital - referral link) were
offering 5% cashback on Ebay purchases plus a 10% code which meant that
Argos's already keen price was more than inviting.


Now the blocks are clean, is it worth sealing them?

Does it work?

Does it last?
