Description
The G 2900 E portable gas pressure washer delivers 2900 PSI of TruPressure®, ensuring you get the highest level of cleaning power. It is powered by a performance driven Karcher KPS 196cc engine with auto choke for easy starting – just pull the trigger and clean.
Zoom on the Kärcher G2900E
In a nutshell, the Kärcher G2900E is a heavy duty pressure washer, which not only offers an all-around versatile cleaning experience, but that also allows:
- complete cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface prep for painting
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- applying detergent and cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Its axial cam pump, which utilizes a 196cc engine, may deliver a pressure of up to 2900 PSI (almost 48 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 2.6 GPM. Corresponding to these values is a cleaning power of 7540 Cleaning Units.
To initiate the Loncin LC1P70F-3 engine of this gas-powered pressure washer, a traditional pull-start mechanism is employed.
Gasoline is stored in a fuel tank with a maximum capacity of 0.8 gallon.
Design & Handling
Enhanced mobility is a key feature of the Kärcher G2900E, thanks to its hand truck design. With its strong welded steel frame, the assembly is built to last, providing stability and safeguarding internal components, even in challenging environments. The handle adds to the G2900E convenience of transport.
At 51.8 lbs, this unit strikes a balance between portability and stability, making it easy for most users to handle. A significant portion of this weight is attributed to the inclusion of the 196cc Loncin LC1P70F-3 engine and a sturdy welded steel frame. Despite this, the G2900E's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
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: Even though the device doesn't have a soap tank, detergent is supplied by a siphon hose. When a soap nozzle is connected, the pressure washer takes the initiative to mix the detergent with the water flow automatically.
- Pressure hose: With a set of easy-to-use straps, the unit offers a practical solution for maintaining workspace order, allowing the included 25 ft high-pressure hose to be neatly stored when idle.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its zinc-coated wand can be easily stored in a side hook.
- Nozzles: Review the table below to learn about the 4 included nozzles and the surfaces they're recommended for.
15° | 25° | 40° | Soap | |

| Concrete, brick, masonry | ||||

The Kärcher G2900E's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Kärcher G2900E compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- The Kärcher G2900E, a device which can produce up to 2900 PSI, is on the lower end of the pressure spectrum, among the gas-powered pressure washers in the $300-400 price range. If the highest possible power of the water stream is your priority, one of the champions in this price range is the Westinghouse WPX3400 with 3400 PSI.
- In the aforementioned price range, the 2.6 GPM (gallons per minute) of this washer makes it one of the better performing units in terms of the delivered volume of water. In case you are looking for a device which can most efficiently rinse away debris in the current price range, the WEN PW224G has the highest GPM of 2.7.
- Featuring 7540 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM) in total, the G2900E lands within the average cleaning efficiency range for similarly priced gas-powered units. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Westinghouse WPX3400 and its 8840 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other gas-powered washers between 7500 and 8000 Cleaning Units, the Karcher G2900E is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget pressure washer.
The bottom line
- Inexpensive
- Good range of nozzles included
- Onboard storage
- High GPM for the price
- Decent CU for the price
- No soap tank
- Low PSI for the price
