Karcher Pressure Washers: Gas, Electric And High Pressure
By:
Published: September 4, 2007
Alfred Karcher developed the first hot-water high-pressure cleaner the world had ever seen in 1950. Thirty-five years later, Karcher pressure washers were used to clean the Statue of Liberty in New York City. Since then, monuments including Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota have improved their appearances after a cleaning from Karcher pressure washers.
Karcher, a company based in Germany, has sold over 60 million high pressure cleaners since its inception.
Not only do famous statues and memorials benefit from Karcher pressure washers, but the company also sells electric and gas Karcher pressure washers for private home use. Awnings, decks, sheds, play sets, and even vehicles can benefit from Karcher pressure washers.
In 2007, Karcher released twelve electric pressure washers and five gas pressure washers for personal use. The electric pressure washers tend to provide less power. They deliver from 1400 PSI (pounds per square inch of pressure) to 1850 PSI. Personal gas pressure washers have operating pressures from 2600 PSI to 3000 PSI. The greater the PSI, the better and faster Karcher pressure washers clean. However, home owners should not over do it. Some cleaning jobs, such as washing a car or landscape decorations, require a lower PSI so as not to damage what is being cleaned.
Karcher pressure washers cannot be purchased from the official Karcher website, however, the high pressure cleaners can be found at many retail stores including Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Sam's Club, and Sears. They are also available online at websites such as Amazon and Pressure Washers Direct. A search for Karcher pressure washers at PressureWashersDirect.com turns up 42 results. The first 20 are high pressure cleaners, while the rest are accessories and parts. The Karcher pressure washers range in price from $89.99 to $1,100. The cheapest option is an electric pressure washer. It is a reconditioned Karcher, delivering 1400 PSI. Since this model weighs only 10.4 pounds and comes complete with a handle, it is fairly easy to transport and hold while cleaning. Ease of handling, along with a smaller PSI, make it ideal for blasting dirt and grime from vehicles. It does an acceptable job brightening wood and cleaning siding, but it cannot strip paint.
If the 1400 PSI washer seems a little too timid, the $1,100 Karcher pressure washer may be a better option. This gas pressure washer offers 4000 PSI with a Honda GX engine. Gas pressure washers tend to weigh more than their electric counterparts, and this washer is no exception. One of the heaviest Karcher pressure washers for personal use, it weighs 140 pounds. Although it may not be easy to maneuver around, a 50 foot high pressure hose will greatly aid anyone cleaning Thanks to its 4000 PSI, the washer can not only accomplish the same tasks as the $89.99 electric washer, it can also remove stains from concrete and successfully strip paint.
Karcher pressure washers are a great addition to any homeowner's collection of cleaning tools. They provide power and ease in cleaning the exteriors of homes. With the help of Karcher pressure washers, homeowners will find they have more time to enjoy decks, patios, and play sets, rather than cleaning them all the time.
