The K4 has an 1800-watt motor pumping out water at 130 bar and a water flow of 420 litres per hour, compared to the K5, which has a 2100-watt motor, giving a bigger 145 bar pressure and a water flow of 500 l/h. The hose included is 8m with the more expensive K5 and shorter at 6m for the K4 model.

The Karcher K5 Compact Pressure Washer's compact dimensions allow for convenient transportation and storage, whilst the high-quality aluminium telescopic handle and large wheels ensures it is highly mobile. But the high-end features don't stop there as the Karcher K5 Compact Pressure Washer also features an impact-resistant recyclable plastic casing, a fine mesh water filter to prevent dirt particles from damaging the motor and a three-piston metal-alloy axial-flow pump that uses a safety valve to prevent pressure overloads. So what are the differences? The compact version is more compact, it is the same spec as the full control counterpart. So the engine is the same, in terms of accessories you get a lance, however, the compact version is more basic and doesn’t have the visual settings of the full control version. Connect the app, however, and you can tell the K5 what you’re trying to clean, and it will set the required pressure and tell you how to adjust the lance for every stage, so as you clean the car or power-wash the driveway, you’re using the right spray pattern and setting for every step. Buy the Home version and Kärcher also bundles the T5 Surface cleaner for a thorough clean of any hard surfaces in your garden.
