Kärcher K 2 Power Control Home pressure washer, pressure: max. 110 bar, flow rate: 360 l/h, area: 20 m²/h, water filter, weight: 4.0 kg, high-pressure gun, dirt blaster, spray lance, Home Kit

Picked up the Kärcher K2 Power Control to give the patio and garden furniture a proper clean, and it does the job nicely. Pressure is decent for light-duty cleaning, and the adjustable settings mean you don’t blast delicate surfaces to bits. Compact and easy to move around, too. Only downside is it’s not heavy-duty – if you’re expecting to strip concrete or tackle really grimy driveways, you’ll need something bigger. But for the garden, bikes, patio, and cars, it’s spot on and easy enough for anyone to use.

Some assembly required, straight forward, no problems. Great little machine, bargain for the price. Definitely recommend.

I’ve been using the Kärcher K2 primarily for washing my car and cleaning block paving, and overall, it’s proven to be a good value. It was very easy to assemble out of the box and straightforward to operate, even for a first-time user. The pressure is more than enough for everyday jobs like cleaning the car or tidying up outdoor surfaces. However, I found the patio attachment a bit underwhelming—it didn’t perform as well as expected, so I ended up sticking with the standard hose for better results. That said, the unit itself is lightweight, user-friendly, and absolutely worth the money for light to moderate cleaning tasks. A solid choice for homeowners looking for an affordable price.

This pressure washer was bought to clean the patio after moving and did a great job bringing it back to life with the right attachment. (Included with the one purchased). It’s easy to use, powerful enough for outdoor cleaning, and the adjustable settings make it simple to switch tasks. The added car-cleaning setting is a real bonus, making it a versatile and practical choice for everyday home use.

I bought it during Xmas discount and it has been a great help with cleaning slabs. A great price for what it is at the time. I got three options for the cleaning and used all three. The circular is obviously the best for slabs. It cleans well, does not splash water around and worth its cost. The problem is the slabs should be well paved, otherwise the bumps and height differences make it a bit difficult to use. You would have either a bit of an angle and splash some water out or have small wiggle room and the corners would not be well cleaned. But with well paved slabs, that should not be a problem. Then the vario extension comes into the game which works fine with different pressure levels to choose. Though vario has hard option on it, i preferred the stand alone hard pressure extension. For some reason it felt like it gave more pressure water and has been the best way to clean moss between slabs. I tried the detergent that arrived with the package. The pipe/tube is actually inside the machine which is very practical. But I could not get the machine to consume the detergent. Then again it might be me because I had a detergent in another ( Karscher K1?) a while ago and could not get it to work either. The machine itself is plastic but a decent build. Overall it did a great job with the slabs and I am very happy with the purchase. It felt like a good product and I did not see a reason to go for a larger version for the job I did. Next time, I will check the detergent use instructions better.

Quality product

Wow, what a product! Light enough to move around but packs a mighty punch! The home kit (yellow round head) is incredible, it got my patio cleaned in a mere 15 minutes and that dirt has been there for 2 years - fantastic!! My other absolute favourite is the dirt blaster wand, this thing uprooted grasses, weeds and moss from their spots leaving my patio weed free in seconds, it is incredibly powerful! The vario wand is also brilliant for washing down the walls and windows should you need it, easy to use on patio furniture, bikes, cars, the dog if you wish!! This is a wonderfully versatile piece of equipment. Everything you could need for cleaning outdoors. I noticed a very small amount of leakage from the hose connection to the machine when the cleaner is on but not in use, I dont think it's anything to worry about, it's not gushing, just a few drips. The cleaner was simple to click together, just add a handle, wheels and the hose to connect to the gun and simple done - you must remeber when connecting the black hose to the front and gun there is a safety gate to pull up first before putting the black hose in and again on the gun, it took me a wee while to figure it out but not an issue. I love the storage spaces on the machine for the wands, sadly the home just has to just plonk on the top but again it isn't an issue, the unit is small and easy enough to move and store.

Update 07 Oct 2024: After doing some research, I bought an original Karcher universal hose connector and swapped it for the one that came with my garden hose reel! Hey presto, the leak disappeared and we now can power wash! So happy I didn’t waste my money, and can now use it to wash the green stuff off my garden patio slabs! I did a test patch and it came off easily just with water and no cleaner. So I updated the review rating and deducted a star for having to buy a new hose connector that was not needed as it was fine with my existing garden hose reel. 😐 Hopefully the whole thing will last - I will update review if not! ———— I bought this a month ago but only just used it today as I wanted to wash my garden furniture. Easy to put it all together, dna pull it along because of the wheels and it’s light. Unfortunately, when I plugged the water hose into the back, I discovered it leaked…a lot! So when I tried to use the equipment to wash down the furniture, there is no pressure like what I saw in the websites/social media etc. so there is no way I can make use of it at all. In fact most of the water flowed out at the back making it useless and a waste of water. I thought maybe there is something wrong with the hose that is usually attached to a spray head that I use to water the garden so I re-attached to check but it was working fine with no leaks at all. I don’t know if there is a specific size that needs to be used with the Karcher but I would have thought it’s standard and did not envisage having to buy a separate hose to attach to the Karcher to use. I am really disappointed as I had high hopes given the positive reviews and video clips I saw, and cannot afford to waste money like this. Given it’s exceeded the 30days return period, it will just go to the tip, which is frustrating. I would never recommend or consider buying thai brand. Aa far as I am concern, it is not fit for purpose.
