Zoom on the Kärcher K2100PS
In summary, the Kärcher K2100PS is a medium duty pressure washer, which provides:
- general cleaning of hard surfaces , washing vehicles, and preparing surfaces for painting
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- utilizing cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces clean
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, and removing stubborn stains
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
With a 13-amp induction motor, its axial cam pump delivers a pressure of 2100 PSI (roughly 35 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (CETA-certified values), resulting in the Kärcher K2100PS's cleaning power of 2520 Cleaning Units.
Kärcher made starting the motor of this electric pressure washer as easy as possible, since the K2100PS gets easily started by stepping on an ON/OFF pedal. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
Emphasizing mobility as a core feature, the Kärcher K2100PS boasts a portable design and approximate dimensions of D18.9 x W18.5 x H35.4 in. The lightweight aluminum frame ensures easy transport and maneuverability, while its corrosion resistance guarantees long-term durability, even in outdoor settings. The folding handle enhances its mobility, while allowing for a convenient storage.
With its 39.7 lbs weight, this unit offers a manageable size that allows for easy handling by most individuals, enhancing user convenience during operation. While its motor adds considerable weight, Kärcher's decision to employ an aluminum frame helps keep the unit's overall weight in check. Even so, the K2100PS's two 10" never-flat wheels maintain easy maneuverability.
Main Features
Along with the Kärcher K2100PS itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: The pressure washer comes equipped with a removable 1 gal tank to store detergent. Attachment of a soap nozzle prompts the pressure washer to automatically introduce and blend the detergent with the water.
- Pressure hose: When not in use, the unit allows for tidy storage of the included 25 ft high-pressure hose using a dedicated slot, ensuring convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: The included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand can be easily stored in a dedicated slot.

The Kärcher K2100PS's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Kärcher K2100PS compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- Featuring 2100 PSI, the Kärcher K2100PS achieves a lower pressure value compared to competing electric pressure washers within the $240-300 price category. If you're going after the highest possible power of the water stream, one of the best in this price range is the Westinghouse WPX3000e that can reach up to 3000 PSI.
- When compared to devices in the above-mentioned price range, this washer and its 1.2 GPM (gallons per minute), is on the lower end of the achievable water flow. If rinsing away debris most efficiently is your priority, one of the devices with the highest GPM in this price range is the Sun Joe SPX3550, which can reach up to 1.8 GPM.
- With a total of 2520 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), the K2100PS places itself within the average cleaning efficiency range for comparably priced electric units. If the highest overall cleaning power is a priority, the BE P2115EN and its 3440 Cleaning Units are notable for their higher potential cleaning efficiency compared to units in the same price range.
