I have owned several pressure washers over 20 years or so and the Karcher K5 is a big step forward in technology. It is quieter and equipped with a very clever swirling point on the end of the lance which distributes the cleaning power over a circle instead of a ‘blade’ or single point. This avoids the need for a rotating brush type of attachment. Europarts managed to sell this for an amazing price at the time I bought and so far, I am more than satisfied. No, I don’t get paid to write this :) I never take the time to write reviews but this time it is warranted and the good news needs distributing.
