Zoom on the Kärcher K2100PS

In summary, the Kärcher K2100PS is a medium duty pressure washer, which provides:

  • intense cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces
  • cleaning of painted or delicate surfaces
  • application of detergent and cleaning solutions
  • intense cleaning of hard surfaces

Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.

Power

The Kärcher K2100PS's axial cam pump, powered by a 13 amp induction motor, can provide a pressure of up to 2100 PSI (approximately 35 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM (CETA-certified values). The Kärcher K2100PS thus has a 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

With its portable design and approximate dimensions of D18.9 x W18.5 x H35.4 in, the Kärcher K2100PS makes mobility one of its core strengths. The aluminum frame ensures the device's durability, as it will not rust. The folding handle enhances its mobility, while allowing for a convenient storage.

Standing at only 39.7 lbs, this model can be carried around very easily. It is lightweight, partly thanks to its aluminum frame. As if this lightweight wasn't enough, the device also features two never-flat wheels to further improve its ease of use and of transport.

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: Detergent storage is ensured by a removable 1 gal tank. Whenever a soap nozzle is connected, the detergent is automatically added to the water.
  • Pressure hose: A neat storage for the included 25 ft high-pressure hose is facilitated by a dedicated slot.
  • Spray gun and wand: A dedicated slot allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
  • Nozzles: The table below shows you the 4 included nozzles, as well as the surfaces they're the most appropriate for.

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.

  • The Karcher K2100PS, which can reach a PSI of 2100, achieves an average pressure output, compared to other electric units that cost between $195 and $255. If you're going after the highest possible power of the water stream, one of the best in this price range is the Sun Joe SPX4600 that can reach up to 3000 PSI.
  • This washer, with a GPM of 1.2 (gallons per minute) has a somewhat lower water flow value compared to devices in its price range. If maximum rinsing efficiency is your top priority, one of the devices with the highest water flow in the same price range is the Sun Joe SPX3550, with a GPM of 1.8.
  • The 2520 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM), of the K2100PS sit at an average, in reference to other electric units of similar price. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Pulsar PWE2019 and its 3200 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other electric washers between 2500 and 3000 Cleaning Units, the Karcher K2100PS is on the average side of the price range.

Therefore, this pressure washer nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of cleaning power.
