Are you looking for a pressure washer with enough power to handle everyday chores--such as power-washing your deck, sidewalk, patio, grill, car, or boat--but without the hassles associated with larger, commercial-grade, gas-powered units? The Karcher K520M electric pressure washer may provide the answer. Powered by a 120-volt, 60 Hz induction motor, the K520M offers adjustable pressure, with a maximum output of 1,600 psi at a rate of 1.8 gallons per minute. While this might not be enough for some commercial applications, such as stripping the paint from an entire house, it more than suffices for everyday, at-home chores. As the world's leading manufacturer of high-pressure washers, Karcher has put a lot of care into this unit's design. The K520M weighs only 27.5 pounds (without accessories) and is mounted on two wheels for easy transport. The pump is borrowed from Karcher's professional line of pressure washers and can draw water from a standing source if a spigot is not available. Power to the washer is controlled by a trigger gun. Just releasing the trigger shuts it down. The included 25-foot high-pressure hose and power spray wand provide flexibility for your cleaning chores. A corrosion- and impact-resistant cover protects the motor and pump assembly, a garden-hose connector with external water filter eliminates debris, and a child safety lock prevents the trigger from accidentally engaging when not in use.
