- intense cleaning of hard 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 13 amp induction motor, may deliver a pressure of up to 2300 PSI (almost 38 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.2 GPM. These values correspond to a cleaning power of 2760 Cleaning Units.
Kärcher allows you to easily start this electric pressure washer, utilizing the K2300PS's 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 D21.5 x W18.5 x H35.4 in, the Kärcher K2300PS 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.
Since the unit weighs only 43.7 lbs, it is very easily carried around. Among other factors, the aluminum frame plays a role in this light weight. As if this lightweight wasn't enough, the device also features two 10" never-flat wheels to further improve its ease of use and of transport.
Main Features
The Kärcher K2300PS's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 4 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap injection: Two different detergent solutions can be used to match your needs, thanks to a dual soap tank system. The detergent is automatically added to the water when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: Using a convenient hose reel, which also improves its lifespan, the included 25 ft high-pressure hose can be easily stored on the unit when it is not running.
- Spray gun and wand: A dedicated slot enables you to easily store the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.
- Nozzles: The following table illustrates the 4 included nozzles, along with the surfaces which they are the most suitable for.

The Kärcher K2300PS's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the Kärcher K2300PS compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- The Kärcher K2300PS, with a max water pressure of 2300 PSI, has one of the higher PSI values of the electric products in the $195-255 price range. If your priority is the highest possible power of the water stream, in this price range, we suggest checking out the Sun Joe SPX3000-MAX, which reaches up to 2800 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 being able to rinse away debris as efficiently as possible is your priority, one of the products with the highest GPM in this price range is the Greenworks GPW2700, with 2.3 GPM.
- The K2300PS, with its 2760 Cleaning Units (PSI X GPM) sits at the high end of the cleaning efficiency spectrum, when compared to other devices of similar price. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Greenworks GPW2700 and its 3240 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.
