FAQs

What is the maximum pressure of this washer?

The Kärcher KHB Handheld Cordless Pressure Washer delivers up to 21 bar of pressure.

Can I connect this to a garden tap?

While it can be used with a tap, its primary design is for use with a suction hose, allowing it to draw water from buckets or other static water sources without a direct tap connection.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life depends on usage and the specific task. The included 2.5Ah battery provides a practical duration for quick cleaning jobs. For longer use, consider additional or higher capacity 18V batteries.

What is the flow rate?

The maximum flow rate is 170 litres per hour.

Is this suitable for cleaning cars?

It is suitable for light cleaning of cars, such as rinsing off dust or mud from tires and lower body panels. It is not designed for the high-pressure cleaning required for heavily soiled vehicles or to remove baked-on grime.

Can I use different Kärcher batteries with this device?

Yes, it is compatible with Kärcher's 18V Battery Power platform. You can use other Kärcher 18V batteries with this device, and the included battery can be used with other tools in the same range.

How do I clean the suction filter?

The suction filter is located at the end of the suction hose that goes into the water. Carefully remove it, rinse it under running water, and reattach it to the hose.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not turn on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the battery contacts are clean.

Low water pressure or no water flow

Verify the suction hose is fully submerged in water. Clean the suction filter for blockages. Ensure the lance is securely attached. Check for kinks in the suction hose.

Battery not charging

Confirm the charger is properly connected to a power outlet. Ensure the battery is correctly seated in the charger. Clean the battery and charger terminals.

Water leaking from connections

Check that the suction hose and lance are securely fastened. Inspect O-rings and seals for damage and replace if necessary.
