Kärcher K2 Premium

Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

The K2 is the best of the smaller washers. It doesn’t match our top two for storage or power, but it’s got enough grunt for car cleaning. It also beats similar rivals, with a six-metre hose giving flexibility for washing.It’s well equipped, with two lances, a patio blaster, brush and cleaning fluids.
