Kärcher Pressure Washer K 2 Compact, pressure: 110 bar, flow rate: 360 l/h, area performance: 20 m²/h, water filter, weight: 3.74 kg, high-pressure hose and gun, dirt blaster, spray lance

I've never used a powerwasher before so have nothing to compare it to but it seems really powerful. It removed 15 years worth of green stuff and really heavily ground in dirt from my balcony with ease. It also removed some paint but that was my fault. I would seriously recommend buying the lance extension, its not expensive and it made the job so much easier. Without it i would have been bent over the whole time with all the 'blowback' in my face. My balcony hasnt looked so good in a very, very long time. It was so simple to assemble if you can even call it assembly, it's just connecting a couple of hoses and plugging in. Oh and it really is compact. It's about the size of a small backpack - the kind you would give a primary school kid with his lunch and books in. I dont have a shed or garage so i was relieved it is so small. You could literally keep it under the sink. I'm very pleased.

Can't believe how good this is, especially since it's so tiny. I paid someone £80 five years ago to clean my flagstones and they've not been cleaned since then. Decided to take the chance and buy this, and it's just lifted 5 years worth of dirt like it was nothing. Blasted away all the weeds too (found it easier to do with the Dirtblaster attachment rather than the high pressure nozzle). Very easy to clean the grime off the surface of the stones, takes a bit of effort to get dirt out of little depressions in the flagstones if they're the rough, uneven ones - you have to get super close with the power jet, but it does the job. Also blasts away some of the white lichen, which I was told you need chemicals to sort that out. No chemicals here. Now I've lifted 5 years worth of muck, I'll give the flagstones a quick, annual wash in spring and I reckon that will be enough to maintain beautiful, clean buff stones. Worth the investment, will save a fortune and has already paid for itself.

Does the job cleaning the car and driveway. I replaced the 4m hose with a 15m as the original is too short and refuses to straighten out making it awkward and a trip hazard. My only real complaint is the plastic locking clips that hold the hose onto the gun and main unit. They are cheap plastic and a pain to open and close. I've already had to buy pattern parts as they break easily. The unit is light, portable and reasonably powerful. Other than the silly clips I love using it.

So I previously had the K7 model, which of course is more powerful and has more features, however it is also MASSIVE and takes up so much storage space, it is much heavier and honestly much harder to use because of this. My K7 has lasted me around 5 years, maybe longer. The power switch on the front eventually broke and I have no time to get it fixed/attempt a fix myself at the moment, hence my K2 purchase. Whilst I know this model is somewhat of a downgrade, it is perfect for washing my car. It’s lightweight, takes up much less storage space and puts out good pressure (on our water pressure output from our garden tap anyway, obviously this may differ elsewhere). I store my pressure washers inside always, as the winter can cause water to freeze internally in them and break the plastic pipes/parts within, thus breaking the pressure washer - make sure you store it in the house or in a heated garage. If you can’t do this, then drain it as much as possible and wrap it in a duvet/raise it up off the ground and try other tricks you can find lots of information about online. Obviously the K2 is no industrial type of pressure washer, however I believe for washing the cars and the occasional round the house/garden/driveway usage, it’s absolutely perfect. I paired my machine with a longer, 15 Metre hose you can buy relatively cheaply on the likes of eBay (unofficial Kärcher version) to make getting around the entire car (SUV type car) without moving the machine itself, which makes things MUCH easier! Hopefully this one will last a similar, if not longer, amount of time.

Compact and easily portable.I am impressed as this little power washer really packs a punch,Used it on a patio that was covered in grime and algae.Not been cleaned for the last two years and I*m delighted to report that it now looks like new.Yes I got soaked to the skin using it and had to get my son to fix it together for usage but I*m made up with it. Very happy with this purchase and have a few more jobs lined up for it.

Tiny but mighty, good power for a small unit, easy to use and light enough to carry while in use. I think I'll need to invest in a better cleaner fluid as the K'archer car shampoo didn't clean very well on the first go. However it might just be me learning as I go. Best used on a non breezy day and with sponge or soft brush to remove surface dirt completely. Beware though, if you use the Dirt Blaster lance you could blow the chrome letters off your car boot, like I did, ha ha ha! Really powerful wee machine but really easy to use though, for its size it's great.

I was after a new pressure washer as my old one had given up. I mainly wanted it mainly to clean my Indian stone patio but also for the car and windows etc. I was a little dubious about buying this with it being small and having 110 bar as needed to have a decent amount of pressure to blast the dirt off my patio. I need not have worried as my video clip shows it cleaned my patio effortlessly and I was well happy with the results, it’s a great little pressure washer and for £75 a bargain! The only slight gripe I have is there is not a holder on the washer for the lance. If you don’t mind that it’s a great piece of kit.

Does what you would expect. It is only small and stores away easily compared to bigger ones I have had in the past. Easy to get replacement part as well. Depending on why you bought it it has reasonable power and is great for cleaning patio slabs. A bigger on does add more power but probably not worth the extra outlay.

You cant go wrong with this product. I love the new shape and it is more compact that the old K2

Leider habe ich den kärcher erst jetzt beim nächsten Frühjahrs -Einsatz inspiziert. Obwohl er laut beiliegender Beschreibung ( diese auch nicht in Deutsch ) auf 220-240 V laufen sollte ( was ich auch noch nicht testen konnte ) wurde er mit einem 3 poligen amerikanischem Stecker geliefert . Ist wohl doch besser sowas in einem Laden ,statt online , zu kaufen …

La forma de recoger la manguera no se corresponde con la foto del producto además la presión de agua que suministra la máquina para limpiar es poca para mi gusto es insuficiente para limpiar con profundidad.

Nice compact washer, easy to use and well worth the money
