Just behind the K7, the flagship in its range of high pressure washers, Kärcher offers the K5 Power Control Home. Certainly less well endowed than its big brother, it nonetheless has interesting advantages and solid performances.
Although it is logically slightly less efficient than its big brother the K7, the K5 Power Control Home still offers very good results. It is easy to handle, not too noisy and energy efficient. Only a hose reel is missing to be truly faultless. If you can do without this option, the Kärcher K5 Power Control Home will meet your expectations.

- Well finished and easy to handle.
- Practical spear and gun.
- Good performance.

The second best quality/price ratio
A version without a hose reel and not connected to the Kärcher K7 Premium Smart Control, the K7 Power has many advantages for those who wish to regularly use a high pressure cleaner. Practical to use, in particular thanks to its adjustable lance and pistol, it fulfills most of the missions entrusted to it without problem. Such a level of performance is quite logically paid for in terms of weight and size, as well as electricity consumption. The connected shutter is not present in this model, but this function is not decisive. If you plan to use your pressure washer regularly, the K7 Power is an interesting choice.
