Karcher K 5 Powerful Pressure Washer, K5

Overview & Key Features

The K 5 is a robust electric pressure washer designed for serious home and garden use. It's a step up from basic models, offering features that make cleaning more efficient and versatile.

Key Selling Points:

• Powerful Motor & Pump: Delivers a maximum pressure of 2000 PSI (138 bar) and a water flow of 1.6 GPM (6.0 L/min). This combination provides excellent cleaning power for a wide range of tasks.

• Power Control: This is the standout feature. It allows you to adjust the water pressure directly from the spray lance. You can dial it down for delicate tasks like washing a car or rinsing patio furniture, and crank it up for stripping paint or cleaning concrete, without having to go back to the machine.

• Dirt Blaster Lance: Included with the unit, this is a specialized nozzle that focuses the water jet for maximum impact. It's perfect for removing stubborn, caked-on grime from driveways, brickwork, and other tough surfaces.

• Onboard Accessory Storage: The machine has cleverly designed compartments to store the high-pressure hose, power cord, and all the spray lances and nozzles. This makes for tidy storage and ensures you don't lose the accessories.

• Vario Power Spray Lance: This is the standard lance that allows you to switch between different spray patterns (jet, fan, etc.) for different cleaning applications.

• Water Cooling System: Kärcher uses a water-cooled motor, which is more durable and better at handling longer run times than cheaper, air-cooled models. This contributes to its long lifespan.
