Common Questions

Is the K3 suitable for washing a car?
Yes — 120 bar is well suited to vehicle washing. Use the Vario Lance dialled to a lower setting to avoid marking paintwork.

Can it clean a patio or driveway?
Yes for lighter soiling. For heavily stained or mossy concrete, the K4 or K7 will deliver better results with higher pressure and flow rate.

Is it suitable for farm use?
Not ideally. The K3 is designed for light home use and occasional cleaning. For tractors, trailers and farm machinery, the K7's water-cooled motor and 180-bar output is the better choice.

Does it come with a warranty?
Yes. 2-year manufacturer's warranty included. Register on the Kärcher website within 4 weeks of purchase to extend to 3 years.
