K 2.01 specifications

The Karcher K 2.01 is an entry-level pressure washer that brings remarkable performance and versatility to residential cleaning tasks. Designed by the renowned German manufacturer Kärcher, known for its innovative cleaning technology, the K 2.01 combines high efficiency with user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to tackle a variety of outdoor cleaning projects.

One of the standout features of the K 2.01 is its powerful 1,500 watt electric motor, which delivers a maximum pressure of 1,600 PSI. This pressure level is suitable for many cleaning applications, such as washing cars, cleaning patios, driveways, and garden furniture. The adjustable spray nozzle allows users to switch between a narrow jet for tougher stains and a wider spray for general cleaning, providing flexibility depending on the task at hand.

The K 2.01 is equipped with a lightweight and compact design, making it easy to maneuver and store. Weighing just around 16 pounds, it can be easily transported around your home or yard. The pressure washer also features an ergonomic handle and sturdy wheels, enhancing its portability and ease of use.

Another noteworthy attribute of the K 2.01 is its integrated detergent tank. This allows users to apply cleaning agents directly through the spray gun, ensuring effective removal of dirt and grime. The detergent can be switched quickly from the low-pressure mode to high-pressure mode as needed, further facilitating the cleaning process.

Karcher's patented Quick Connect system simplifies the setup process. With this system, users can easily connect and disconnect the high-pressure hose from the machine and the spray gun, saving time and reducing hassle. Additionally, the K 2.01 is designed with a built-in safety feature that will automatically shut off the motor when the trigger is not in use, prolonging the lifespan of the machine and conserving energy.

In terms of build quality, the K 2.01 is made with durable materials that can withstand the rigors of outdoor tasks. Its robust construction ensures longevity, making it a smart investment for anyone seeking an efficient cleaning solution.

In summary, the Karcher K 2.01 is a reliable, efficient, and versatile pressure washer that is perfect for light to medium-duty tasks. With its blend of power, portability, and user-friendly features, it stands out as a valuable tool for maintaining cleanliness around the home. Whether you're a novice DIYer or a seasoned pro, the K 2.01 makes outdoor cleaning tasks easier and more effective.
