The Plug and Clean system on this K4 is a great feature. It’s included on all K4 models expect the Compact. This is a really useful addition that does make life easier if you plan on using a lot of detergent when pressure washing. Simply connect the Plug and Clean detergent bottle into the top of the pressure washer and you’re ready to go. This also makes changing bottles between different applications (for example patio cleaning and car washing) very easy. For specific jobs, such as car cleaning, the pressure hose of the K4 Compact is a little short. The two Power Control models are more suitable as they come with a pressure hose that is 2 metres longer.Instead of having a detergent compartment, the K4 Compact Pressure Washer is designed with a suction tube which helps keep costs down, this allows you to draw detergent from a separate container. In addition, the pressure washer is supplied with a vario lance so you can select the correct pressure for the job at hand as well as a dirtblaster lance that offers specific cleaning capabilities and is great for removing stains and embedded dirt. Connect the app, however, and you can tell the K5 what you’re trying to clean, and it will set the required pressure and tell you how to adjust the lance for every stage, so as you clean the car or power-wash the driveway, you’re using the right spray pattern and setting for every step. Buy the Home version and Kärcher also bundles the T5 Surface cleaner for a thorough clean of any hard surfaces in your garden. You pay a lot for the smart features, and we’re not sure that using the app to control the lance is really that convenient. Still, if you want the ultimate in high-tech pressure washers, nothing else even comes close. Within the four models of the Karcher K4 range, there are two domestic Full Control models; one premium Full Control model, and the K4 Compact.

When it comes to using the detergent, this model uses the plug n clean system which we do think is a big improvement on the suction tube alternative. Simply plug the bottle of detergent into the pressure washer and it can now be used with the detergent setting on the LED trigger gun. Keep in mind that this unit comes without the detergent, however, there are provisions for purchasing it with some useful accessories including the detergent at a slightly higher price.If you are buying a pressure washer primarily for car washing and cleaning, then there are a few things to look at when purchasing. The length of the pressure hose is important here. The longer, the better. For example, with a 4-metre hose, to clean a Volvo XC 60 (mid-size SUV) you will have to move the unit 2-3 times.
