Description
Zoom on the Kärcher G2900E
In summary, the Kärcher G2900E is a heavy duty pressure washer, that offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, and also:
- intense cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces
- cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics and design, its main features and all the additional features it has to offer.
Power
Powered by a 196cc engine, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 2900 PSI (around 48 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.6 GPM (CETA-certified values). Combined, these values mean that the Kärcher G2900E has a cleaning power of 7540 Cleaning Units.
This gas-powered pressure washer’s Loncin LC1P70F-3 engine is started by a traditional pull-start mechanism.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.8 gallon.
Design & Handling
The Kärcher G2900E is very mobile, due to its hand truck design and approximate dimensions of D21.9 x W15.2 x H35.4 in. The robust welded steel frame guarantees longevity of the assembly. The handle adds to the G2900E convenience of transport.
Most users can maneuver this model easily, as it weighs just 51.8 lbs. A major component of its weight are its 196cc Loncin LC1P70F-3 engine and welded steel frame. The G2900E can still be easily manipulated and maneuvered, thanks to its two 12" never-flat wheels.
