Electric Pressure Washer - 160 BAR

Product Information

When selecting a pressure washer, it’s crucial to consider key features that contribute to its overall performance and ease of use. Some of the most important aspects to consider include: Featuring powerful 2.3kW (240v) electric motors and delivering 160 bar maximum pressure and 480 litres per hour flow rate to get the job done fast. Its Plug n Clean detergent system makes life so much more convenient, although you can only use Karcher detergent bottles for this As you can see in the table, a pressure of about 100 bar is needed for most tasks. But why are there so many pressure washers with more than 100 bar? The reason is actually quite simple. Because with a higher pressure you can clean larger areas faster.

The maximum pressure of a pressure washer indicates the maximum pressure the unit can reach. For example, if the water flow is interrupted, a high pressure can build up in the unit for a short time. This is then calculated or measured and is output as the maximum pressure. As you assemble the machine, you’ll start to notice a few of its innovative design features. From its pre-installed water filter to its Plug n Play detergent system (insert the shampoo bottle and the pressure washer will automatically mix this through with water before releasing it in its jet), this machine has been designed in a way that makes life so much more convenient for the user. Thisrobust unit is ideal for a large sized domestic environment. The E160 can cope with a whole range of cleaning tasks including paths, walls, garage doors & vehicle washing. Using a pressure washer safely and effectively is essential for achieving optimal cleaning results. In this section, we’ll provide expert advice on:

Selecting the appropriate pressure setting and nozzle type is critical to prevent damage to surfaces and ensure effective cleaning. As a budget machine, this pressure washer is best suited to semi-frequent use. It may not be the best pressure washer if you’re looking for something you can use daily. Nevertheless, it’s an excellent machine that will clean the car, or even the patio, much faster than methods that don’t involve pressure washers. Using the correct pressure washing technique is crucial for preventing damage to surfaces and achieving effective cleaning results. To begin: Boost ModeSmart Control models contain an integrated Boost Mode for an extra burst of power, perfect for those stubborn, hard to remove stains. Boost Mode can be activated by the trigger gun or the Home & Garden app and gives the pressure washer 30 seconds of increased pressure.

In terms of power, the Karcher K5 provides a pressure range of 20-140 bar . The maximum is sufficient for just about all domestic cleaning tasks, and the water-cooled motor means that you can run it continuously for long periods without dealing with overheating. With many pressure washers it can be very time consuming and annoying to have to keep moving the heavy base unit around whilst in the middle of a task. Yet, with the Easy Aquatak 120 this isn’t such a problem;. I’d say it’s the best pressure washer in terms of portability due to its light weight. It’s even possible to be useful as a handheld pressure washer – you can even carry it with you as you go. The Excellent E160 features a highly mobile trolley design making the machine easily manoeuvrable & also includes an on-board hose reel, providing convenient, compact storage for the 10 metre steel armoured SuperFlex high pressure hose.

A noticeable downside of the Wilks-USA RX550i pressure washer is its weight. Weighing 30 kg, it’s not very practical to move around. This weight makes the included extra-long hose seem more of a necessity than a bonus – to be used instead of moving the pressure washer itself. Fortunately, it does have wheels, so over a flat surface it can be rolled fairly easily. The 3 m hose comes up a little short – it’s the shortest of all the pressure washers featured here. It’s not long enough to reach all the way around the car whilst cleaning it, but if an extension cable is used then it’s possible to move the unit around easily using the built-in handle. Anyone who wants to buy a pressure washer always asks the same question: “How many bars should a good pressure washer have? However, this simple question is not so easy to answer. In addition, the higher the maximum pressure of the device, the more difficult and therefore more expensive this becomes. However, the delivery rate should always be in proportion to the maximum pressure, otherwise only spray mist will come out of the nozzle after a short distance. As you have read above, this would exactly counteract the sensible effect of a pressure washer with more pressure (bar).

Karcher's new Xpert range sits between their 'Home and Garden' and 'Professional’ range. The Xpert models are designed to meet the demands of daily use in a commercial environment or heavy duty use in a domestic environment. Featuring an induction motor & long-life metal pump, meaning as well as low-noise / high-power output, the E160 provides excellent cleaning results on everything from delicate surfaces such as car bodywork to removing stubborn, ingrained dirt from concrete slabs. The E160 benefits from a high-quality aluminium pump which increases the durability of the machine & an impact-resistant, recyclable plastic casing effectively prevents dirt particles from damaging the motor & pump. The E160's 2300 Watt induction motor also features added rubber suspension to reduce noise emissions from the machine. Portability: As we often have to move pressure washers from place to place, we tested the portability and weight of each model. Models below 10 kg were rated as particularly portable. Any model exceeding 15 kg was considered too heavy for the average user to easily move around. If a model was on the heavier side, we looked for other features to improve portability, like wheels or good-quality handles.Sometimes you just need a simple tool that will do the basics well. The Makita HW101 Compact Pressure Washer is just that; it may not have all the bells and whistles of a more expensive pressure washers, but it will clean paving, wash the car, and hose off grime with minimal effort required from you. It’s the best pressure washer for easy, no-nonsense cleaning. Many of us are on water metres and if not now, it will be on the horizon.The rated flow on this machine is 7 litres per minute – that’s considerably less than the flow rate for the average hose pipe. Even keep your bit of Eden green; the ParkerBrand PEPW-2000 acts as a booster to the hosepipe you already have to water over a distance – great for lawns and large gardens. An easier version of life. By using the different nozzles, jets and lances, this pressure washer can clean gutters and cars, and even strip moss, algae and grime from paving slabs. In fact, the finest jet is so powerful that it can visibly ‘write’ on grubby driveways.
