Karcher Pressure Washer, K5 Premium, 1.45 GPM, Hose Reel, 32 ft. Hose - 2000 PSI

I bought the K 5 pressure washer to clean classic cars that are being restored (dirty, greasy engines, frames, etc). It has worked very well and has plenty of pressure and is easy to use. I chose Karcher because it can pump water from a source of stationary water rather than requiring a regular garden hose delivering a pressurized water source. The K 5 has solved more than one problem at my garage.

This replaces a similar older model that I had for many years. This new one is much quieter and so powerful that I generally throttle it back using the vario-wand. I like that the hose is easily long enough to wash a large car or SUV without moving the unit. One of the problems with the previous unit was that it could tip over if the hose was pulled even a slight amount. The new unit has a larger base that extends towards the front of the unit which makes it much more stable and fully addresses the problem. Putting it together was a snap and I'm looking forward to many more years of trouble-free use.
