Description
The Kärcher K 2700 E is engineered for the homeowner who requires heavy-duty cleaning power without the maintenance or noise of a gas engine.
Zoom on the Kärcher K2700E
In a nutshell, the Kärcher K2700E is a medium duty pressure washer that allows:
- spot cleaning of hard, unpainted surfaces, reaching high areas, and removing stubborn stains
- broad cleaning of hard surfaces, vehicle washing, and surface preparation for painting
- gentle cleaning for sensitive surfaces, and wide coverage cleaning with low pressure
- using cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces to remove residue
Ahead are presented its power characteristics and design, its main features and any other additional features.
Power
Powered by a 15-amp induction motor, its axial cam pump can deliver a pressure of 2700 PSI (around 45 times more than a standard garden hose) and a flow of up to 1.1 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). With these values combined, the Kärcher K2700E boasts a cleaning power of 2970 Cleaning Units.
The K2700E initiates operation effortlessly with a straightforward ON/OFF switch. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With its hand truck design, the Kärcher K2700E provides great mobility. The steel tubing frame's robustness ensures the assembly's longevity, maintaining stability and protecting internal components, even in the harshest environments. The handle adds to the K2700E convenience of transport.
At 53.9 lbs, this unit strikes a balance between portability and stability, making it easy for most users to handle. Its motor and steel tubing frame account for a good chunk of that weight. Despite this, the K2700E's two 8" never-flat wheels ensure effortless maneuverability.
Main Features
Along with the Kärcher K2700E itself, the package also includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, 5 nozzles and a detergent injection feature, which are discussed in further detail below.
- Soap injection: The pressure washer features a 0.8 gal tank for detergent storage. The detergent is automatically mixed with the water flow by the pressure washer when a soap nozzle is connected.
- Pressure hose: The included 25 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a set of convenient hooks for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: Both the classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand may be conveniently stored in a side hook.
