Features
-
High Pressure Cleaning Power
The K2 Compact delivers up to 110 bar (≈ 11 MPa) of maximum pressure, which is strong enough for removing light to moderate dirt, grime, and debris from surfaces like garden furniture, bicycles, patios, vehicles, and tools. This pressure is sufficient for many typical domestic cleaning tasks. -
Good Flow Rate
With a water flow of 360 liters per hour, this pressure washer maintains a decent amount of water throughput. That helps in washing larger surface areas more efficiently — the product claims an "area performance" of about 20 m² per hour. -
Power & Motor
The motor is rated at 1.4 kW (1400 W), running off a standard 220-240 V / 50-60 Hz supply. It is an electric powered washer, which means quieter operation and ease of setup compared to petrol units. -
Design & Portability
-
Lightweight body: around 4.0-4.1 kg without accessories in many versions, making lifting and carrying easier.
-
Compact dimensions: typically 176 × 280 × 443 mm in several general models. Some versions have slightly different sizes, but overall the design is slim and storage-friendly.
-
Ergonomic handle and built-in cable and hose storage hooks help tidy up and make transport simple.

Accessories & Attachments
Common inclusions are:
• High-pressure gun (often model G 120 Q)
• One-jet spray lance
• Dirt Blaster spray lance (with rotating pencil-jet action for more concentrated cleaning)
• A high-pressure hose (often 4 m in length)
• Integrated water filter to protect the pump from debris
• A garden hose adapter (¾″)
• Detergent suction feature for applying cleaning agents -
Temperature & Durability
It accepts water feed temperatures up to 40 °C, meaning warm water (but not hot) can be used without damage. The build includes impact-resistant plastic parts, and protective features to guard against damage to the motor or pump from dirt ingress.
Technical Details & Benefits

Q&A: Should You Choose the K2 Compact 110 bar 360 L/h 1400 W?
Q: What types of cleaning tasks is it good for?
A: It is ideal for domestic use: cleaning patios, garden furniture, bikes, car exteriors (not engine degreasing), cleaning tools and light machinery, even wash-downs of walls and fences. It is not designed for very heavy-duty industrial dirt or deep degreasing.
Q: What are its limitations?
A: Some potential drawbacks:
-
The pressure might not be enough for thick, caked mud or very stubborn stains.
-
If using over long hose lengths without proper water supply, pressure drop may occur.
-
Plastic components (as with many compact models) may degrade faster under rough use.
-
Detergent suction and attachments are useful, but cleaning with soap tends to reduce effective pressure.
Q: Is it easy to maintain?
A: Yes, relatively. The integrated filter helps prevent debris from entering the pump. As long as you use clean water, avoid overheating, drain hoses after use in cold weather, and store properly, it should last reasonably long. Periodic checking of attachments and sealing washers helps prevent leaks.
Q: How does it compare to more powerful washers?
A: More powerful washers may deliver higher pressures (150-200+ bar) or higher flow rates, but they tend to be more expensive, heavier, louder, and consume more energy. For many home users, the K2 Compact gives a good balance of power vs convenience
