The Karcher K 5 540 X Series pressure washer is an electric powered beast amongst its competitors. From its innovative engine design and use of a new high tech motor to the massive 2000 psi rating, this machine is designed to work hard for you. The Karcher costs much less than a gas powered machine and is able to deliver just as much power.
A fan cooled engine is the major component on most pressure washers on the market. The K 5.540 instead has a patented water cooling system to cool the engine. The result of this technology is an engine that runs quieter and is longer lasting than a standard engine. You will notice the noise factor cut in half in comparison to others with the traditional cooling system. The entire Karcher machine is more durable due to fewer moving parts in its engine design. No fan blowing is the primary reason for the decrease in noise levels. If you run your washer for several hours, then you'll really appreciate how quiet the engine is.
Most pressure washers will feature an axial cam pump. The Karcher has a swash plate component instead, which is made of a corrosive resistant polymer. A material that is resistant to rusting and corrosion is very useful on a machine that is around water so much.
Most electric washers cannot match the power and performance of bigger, more costly gas powered models, however the Karcher model is able to. At 2,000 psi and 1.5 gallons per minute, you won't have to worry about the Karcher not having enough power. You'll be able to easily wash all of the dirty stuff around your home. With the handy adjustable spray nozzle that is included with this machine, you'll be able to clean you deck, siding, car, and walkway.
You get two different wands to choose from with the 5.540. For more sensitive areas that need to be cleaned, like your car, you can use the Vario Power spray wand. This wand offers good cleaning power but not as much pressure so that you can use it on more delicate surfaces. For tough dirt, grime, and stains you'll want to employ the DirtBlaster wand. This powerful device produces a sharp, steady stream of water that will blast surfaces like brick and concrete.
You'll also get an attached detergent dispenser with this machine. You can pull it out and add specially made Karcher SoapPacs to help break dirt down before you clean. If you want to draw water from a lake or stream you can do so using a special attachment. This is a unique feature not found on many models. If this interests you, you can buy an attachment for about $60. There are many different attachments available for this model, including this one.
You can't ask for an easier model to use and set up either. Unlike other units, this Karcher sprayer almost assembles itself. With a twist here and a turn there, you can have this unit put together in no time and ready to use. A handy quick connector is also included to use with your garden hose so you are not spending time getting frustrated trying to screw it in and tighten it.
All in all, The Karcher K 5 540 X Series pressure washer is a great deal and provides a lot of bang for the buck. It really offers high performance for a great price. That's why it consistently ranks above its competitors. Add on the optional accessories and the easy of use and assembly and you've got a real winner.
