Kärcher K2 (Power Control / Universal)

The K2 is the best-selling pressure washer in the UK by sales volume and the sensible budget choice when you don't need driveway-blasting power. Its spec — 110 bar, 360 l/h and a bare weight around 3.5kg — makes it compact and easy to store in a small space, and it handles car washing, garden furniture, bikes, fencing and light patio maintenance well. It comes in Universal, Power Control and Compact variants at the same 110 bar. The honest limitation is that it has the lowest power here and sits at the entry of Kärcher's range, so it is a light-duty tool: buy it instead of the K4 or Bosch 135 only if your jobs are genuinely light and infrequent. For that use case it is hard to beat on price, footprint and brand support. Around £100 is typical, though it is often seen from roughly £90 to £119.
