Kärcher K5 vs K7 - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let us compare the two high-pressure cleaners from Kärcher and look at the differences between the Kärcher K5 and the Kärcher K7.
Wasserdruck
The maximum pressure of the Kärcher K5 is lower with 145 bar. With the Kärcher K7 the maximum pressure is with 180 bar. Both pressure washers have a minimum pressure of 20 bar.Cleaning area
With a larger plot of land or a larger area to be cleaned, it naturally makes sense to pay attention to the cleaning area. With 40 m²/h the Kärcher K5 creates a smaller cleaning area. The Kärcher K7 cleans a cleaning area of 60 m²/h.
Performance
The Kärcher K5 provides a water flow of 500 l/h. With the K5 the water flow is 600 l/h. Thus the the Kärcher K5 is in front in comparison.
Hose length
The hose length determines how far you can move with the pressure washer. However, the length should not be a decisive criterion, as you can usually buy and connect another hose. With 8 m the supplied hose of the Kärcher K5 is shorter. With the Kärcher K7 a hose of 10 m is delivered.
Weight
The weight of a pressure washer can be decisive. The heavier the unit, the more complicated it is to move. However, a shearer machine is more stable. The Kärcher K5 is with 14 kg easier than the Kärcher K7. The K7 has a higher weight of 17.6 kg.
