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:

  • thorough cleaning of hard, paint-free surfaces
  • cleaning of painted and frail surfaces
  • use of 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.

The Loncin LC1P70F-3 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer gets started by a classic 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. Its sturdy welded steel frame provides longevity to the assembly. The handle adds to the G2900E convenience of transport.

With a weight of 51.8 lbs, the unit can be easily maneuvered by most users. Its 196cc Loncin LC1P70F-3 engine and welded steel frame account for a good chunk of that weight. The G2900E can still be easily manipulated and maneuvered, thanks to its two 12" never-flat wheels.

Main Features

The Kärcher G2900E comes with a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are detailed below.

  • Soap injection: While the device doesn't feature a soap tank, detergent supply is ensured by a siphon hose. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
  • Pressure hose: The included 25 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when idle thanks to a set of easy-to-use straps.
  • Spray gun and wand: A side hook enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its zinc-coated wand.
  • Nozzles: The 4 included nozzles, and the respective surfaces they’re appropriate for, are listed in the table below.

  • With a water flow of up to 2.6 GPM (gallons per minute), this washer belongs to the upper end of the above-mentioned price range, as it can deliver a high volume of water.
