Kärcher is truly an international company and our Home & Garden products are made around the globe. Some examples include: K5 Premium Full Control Plus Pressure Washer – Made at a Kärcher factory in Italy. K2 Compact Pressure Washer – Made at a Kärcher factory in China.

Example: the Kärcher K 7 Full Control

The heart of every pressure washer is its electric motor, which drives the pump system. In order for the pumps to work correctly, they need water, which is provided, for example, by a garden hose. Before it is put under pressure, the water flows into a double-walled casing around the motor, which cools it down. This reduces noise and also extends the device's run time.

The motor drives a wobble plate, which moves the three pistons up and down. The K 7 Full Control features a total of three pistons, which each work with one suction and one pressure valve. The downward motion of the pistons draws the water through a suction valve and into the cylinder or piston chamber. When the piston moves up again, it pushes the water out of the piston chamber and through a pressure valve towards the injector.

Cleaning agent is added to the injector if required. The water then flows out of the pump to the high-pressure gun.

Of course, in real time, this all happens so fast that once you have turned on the device, you can immediately press the trigger to start cleaning. The pressure washer pictured here features an LED display on the trigger gun, which shows the pressure level selected, as well as an example application. This makes it easy to find the right setting for every application.

Quite apart from the outstanding cleaning performance, cleaning with a pressure washer also saves water, because while around 3,500 litres flow through a garden hose in an hour, a pressure washer uses just 400 to 600 litres. The saving effect is compounded since the high water pressure speeds up the work.

Windows

The battery-powered window vacs ensure streak-free, drip-free cleaning - simply spray and clean each window pane with a window detergent or soap solution, then vacuum the glass to remove all the water.

The Karcher window vac isn't just for cleaning windows - you can use it for tiles and mirrors, or removing condensation from windows or the inside of your car windscreen.

Mirrors

Follow our simple how to guide below for the best cleaning results on mirrors.

1. Fill your window vac spray bottle with detergent and water. 
2. Spray the mirror down and agitate the surface with the microfibre cloth, paying particular attention to any stubborn water spots.
3. Use your Window Vac in a downwards motion, and watch as the dirty water gets sucked away, leaving a dry, streak-free finish. 

If the cleaning power of the appliance deteriorates we recommend checking the following: That the accessories, suction hose or suction tubes are not clogged. If so, remove the obstruction using a stick or long object. If the filter bag is full, remove and install a new one.

Check that the foam filter is not contaminated by cleaning it under running water. Ensure the cartridge filter is clean, by knocking off any dirt from the cartridge and rinsing under running water if necessary. If the filter is damaged, then this should be replaced.

Ensure the cartridge filter is clean by knocking off any dirt from the cartridge and rinsing it under running water. Do not wipe or brush down. Allow to dry completely prior to reusing.
