Best pressure washers based on customer reviews

September 17, 2020

The characteristics of any equipment are the main criteria that we pay significant attention to when buying. But there are a number of additional questions that can only be answered by people who have personally used such devices.

Our blog today will be about a review of Karcher pressure washers , where we will discuss not only the technical specifications, but also their pros and cons.

The best household pressure washers

The main positive feature of such high-pressure washers is that they are moderately economical, but sufficiently powerful devices.

Karcher K 7 Compact

Positive features :

The Karcher pressure washer is a budget-class product, manufactured in German factories, which in itself indicates the quality of materials and assembly;
The 10-meter hose length is more than enough to wash any car. As for the material, it is made of high-quality iron and rubber;
Compared to competing models, the machine's high power and pressure allow you to wash your car faster;
Mobility - in appearance, the device resembles a regular wheeled vacuum cleaner, which can be easily moved to any desired location;
It can operate both from a central water supply system and from an open container of pre-collected water (if there is sufficient volume).

Negative characteristics:

The device is very sensitive to the quality of the power supply. For example, if the voltage fluctuates (which is common for summer cottages), then the device will not work without a stabilizer;
There is no mounting bracket for the gun on the device body, so you will have to determine how you will place them with other nozzles;
High capacity implies proportionally high water supply;
The weight of a high-pressure hose, especially when filled with water, is proportional to its strength;
The length of standard nozzles is not enough to reach the roofs of tall vehicles (for example, SUVs, trucks, etc.). In this case, you need a stand or additional long attachments.

Although the manufacturer has set a fairly affordable price for this device, we can safely say that the model is close to professional models in terms of its technical characteristics and power.

Karcher K 5 Premium

A mobile washing machine that is very comfortable to use at home. It operates with a 2.1 kW electric motor, and the water flow rate is 500 liters per hour.

Pros:

High power, which is more than enough for household tasks;

Storing the machine's hose is very convenient because it fits on a specially designed housing;
Ability to assemble quickly;
Works both from the central water supply system and from tanks filled with water;
Long warranty period - from 2 to 5 years, depending on the location of purchase

Disadvantages:

The standard foam concentrator either does not work properly or there is no clear and understandable description of it. When washing a car, if it is necessary to use detergent, most consumers prefer to purchase a foam generator separately;
In very hot weather, when using water from the tank, it is necessary to monitor the temperature. If the temperature is above 40° C, then the washing pump may overheat;
The 8-meter hose length is ideally sufficient for domestic use, but it still indicates the manufacturer's greed.

If you want to buy a branded and at the same time inexpensive high- pressure washer , then we can definitely recommend this model from Kärcher for home use. It is also worth noting that the machine has very few competitors in terms of price, quality, and features.
