Kärcher K 5 Compact High Pressure Washer

Just what we were looking for. We already had the K4 and it too was an excellent power washer. But because you need to protect these machines from the frost and our garden shed is not frost proof then we’ve no choice but to store it in a wardrobe inside our bungalow. The K4, although brilliant, was a little on the bulky side for wardrobe storage. Hence our reasons for selling off the K4 and buying the K5 Compact. And boy does it fit perfectly. Very easy to lift in and out of the house. And has extra bar power than the K4 so it really is a win win. As with all Karchers, we store it’s lances and hose in the box and upgrade these, ie buying a better trigger gun and more stronger and longer kink free hose. Now this K5 is perfect for what we wanted it for, washing our car and backyard plus it’s perfect for storing indoors. Excellent service and product from the seller. Very pleased with my purchase.

This is the third Karcher pressure washer I have purchased and I have been very satisfied with the quality, performance and life of each of them.The fittings on the K5 are a great improvement on my previous model and the fact the machine cuts off when the trigger is released is a great bonus. I have used the current one for ten or more hours washing my paved driveway and yard and it has performed powerfully as I would have expected. I am expecting a number of years of use without problems. A excellent product.

Mine went wrong so I returned it, But for a while it was really great. Especially useful in this compact size.The bigger models have brackets to hold the spray lance, coil the cable / hose. They even have Apps and stuff. None of it either works or is of any use.This model has the pressure washer part. It is useful and good. Until it goes wrong.

I have found is to be a great bit of kit. I had a K7 for a long time and needed something a bit smaller so changed for the K5 compact (sold my old one very easily). Please ignore some of the comments regarding not being able to wind up the hose, yes if you are not careful / patient the hose will kink but it does do what it should do.

I am very pleased with my new jet washer, at first was abit skeptical but it is well worth the money!! I’m a gardener and will be using is it for business.Few things to add: connections on the jet washer are very tight fitted and won’t come off unless you intend for them to ( sometimes you have to put more pressure for release).This is something I wish I knew because I thought I set it up wrong initially. Overall lovely to use and perfect new addition to my tools.

My old, smaller Kärcher eventually failed after many years of good service. I replaced it with the K5 compact to be more suitable for heavy jobs like patio washing, but also convenient to take in the car to clean my sailing dinghy and for jobs at family houses. So far, it has done everything I need perfectly.

Great high pressure washer great for cleaning patios & even cars. Straightforward & simple to use.

Best washer so far! Have a k4 and it’s more powerful! Super east to set up and stores away so neat and tidy
