Karcher pressure washers

November 19, 2020

Kärcher pressure washers remove dirt from cars, driveways, walls and roofs much more easily , for several reasons:

They create high pressure (30-40 times more than a conventional pipe);
They convert a chemical cleaning solution into foam;
Some models can also heat water.

Water consumption is reduced by 2-3 times, and the washing process is also accelerated, although all these conditions can only be achieved if the machine is high-quality, reliable, and properly selected.

The modern appliance market is filled with many high- pressure washers , each of which has its own characteristics and, therefore, they are divided into three classes:

Household - intended for washing bicycles, motorcycles and rarely cars;
Semi-professional - designed for any vehicle and medium-sized areas;
Professional - such devices have the highest pressure and performance.

Karcher K 3

It should be noted that the German brand Karcher has ideal pressure washers that are considered the best among the best. Therefore, it is not surprising that this model is the sales leader.

This is a great pressure washer for home use that is inexpensive and yet productive.

With a 1.6 kW motor, the device generates 120 bar of pressure, which allows it to process 380 liters of water per hour. The device itself is small and light, so don't expect it to be able to wash large cars.

The machine thoroughly washes scooters, motorcycles, garden tools and equipment, paths, driveways, and street benches.

The pump is made of plastic, which is not intended for long-term and frequent use. In order for the device to work for many years, it is necessary to take into account the manufacturer's recommendations.

Unfortunately, it can only be connected to the water supply, which slightly limits its use. However, this minor flaw does not prevent the device from breaking sales records, as it is a very simple and reliable model.

Pros:

There are three modes of supply for clean water and one for chemicals;
The pressure hose is attached and the supply is provided by Karcher's patented Vario Power technology;
The built-in fine mesh/filter reliably protects the pump from possible ingress of dirt and various impurities (salts, minerals);
The body is durable and ergonomic.

Cons:

Unfortunately, water cannot be delivered from a container.

Karcher K 5

The aforementioned Karcher pressure washer also belongs to the household use class, but its technical specifications are very cool.

The device allows you to wash large vehicles (SUVs, trucks, etc.), house facades, and large areas paved with tiles. This device is not cheap, but its versatility and functionality allow you to quickly recoup the money you paid for it.

The device is used not only for work at home, but also in car washes and certain enterprises. The 1-liter container for the solution, which is integrated into the body, is very convenient. There is no need to dilute the chemistry, because the device does everything itself.

Pros:

A high-power device that can remove old and dried-on dirt;
Standard 1 liter bottle;
The set includes Vario Power nozzles, which are designed to remove various types of dirt.
