Current best-selling pressure washer brand
Kärcher has earned its leading position over the decades with innovative and high-quality pressure washers and accessories.
In 1950, Alfred Kärcher invented Europe's first hot water pressure washer, which is still an integral part of industrial and commercial cleaning today. In 1984, Kärcher successfully entered the consumer market with the launch of the HD 555, the world's first portable high pressure cleaner for home and garden.

The products became popular all over the world and made a name for themselves in the truest sense of the word: the generic term "le karcher", for example, is used in French as a synonym for pressure washing. In German, "kärchern" is also commonly used for high-pressure cleaning, according to the Duden dictionary. Today, Kärcher offers more than 3,000 products, but the pressure washer is still the company's flagship product.

As a world market leader, Kärcher offers a range of products that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of technical refinement and versatility – operating with heated or unheated water, powered by electric motors or internal combustion engines, mobile or stationary.

Last year, for only the second time in the company's history, Kärcher overhauled its core product and introduced a new range of professional cold and hot water pressure washers.
