The Kärcher K 1.302 is a powerful and compact pressure washer designed to tackle a variety of cleaning tasks around the home and garden. Renowned for its effectiveness and ease of use, this model is particularly appealing to homeowners who seek a versatile cleaning solution without the fuss of larger, more cumbersome equipment.

One of the main features of the K 1.302 is its lightweight design, which makes it easy to transport and store. Weighing in at less than 5.5 kg, it's well-suited for those who may need to lift and maneuver the unit frequently. The sturdy design includes ergonomic handles, allowing users to carry the machine comfortably while completing their cleaning tasks.

Equipped with a robust 1300-watt motor, the K 1.302 delivers a maximum pressure of up to 100 bar, providing adequate force for removing dirt, grime, and moss from a variety of surfaces.

The K 1.302 features Kärcher's innovative Quick Connect system, which allows for easy attachment and detachment of the high-pressure hose and different nozzles. This convenience ensures that users can switch between tasks with minimal effort. Additionally, the model is equipped with an adjustable spray lance, allowing users to modify the spray pattern from a wide fan spray for gentle cleaning to a concentrated jet for tougher dirt.

Another highlight of the K 1.302 is its integrated detergent tank, enabling users to apply cleaning solutions efficiently. This feature helps enhance cleaning performance, especially when tackling oil stains or deeply embedded dirt. The machine’s compact size also makes it easy to store, fitting into tight spaces such as garages, sheds, or utility rooms.

In terms of safety, the K 1.302 includes a safety valve that prevents excessive pressure build-up, ensuring long-term reliability and safe operation.
