Which Kränzle pressure washer you choose depends mostly on how often you wash and how much water per minute you need. For the car at home, a model with 130 bar and 450 l/h is plenty. If you work daily or want to cover larger areas quickly, pick a machine with 600 to 660 l/h and a hose reel. Below we put the seven models we sell side by side.
What to look for in a Kränzle pressure washer
All machines below are electric and have a one-piece roto-mould chassis. The differences come down to four things:
Working pressure and maximum pressure. On a car you rarely use full pressure. An adjustable machine lets you work gently on paint and higher on wheels, engine bays or the drive.
Flow in litres per hour. More water means faster rinsing and a foam lance that works better. This figure differs more between the models than the pressure does.
Hose and reel. An 8 or 10 m hose is enough around a passenger car. A 15 m hose on a reel gives you reach around larger vehicles without repositioning.
TST. On the TST models, Total-Stop switches the motor off as soon as you release the trigger. That saves wear and energy.

The models in brief
Kränzle K 1050 P: the entry model of the K series with 2200 W, 130 bar and 450 l/h. The pump is brass and the machine weighs 21 kg. With an 8 m steel-braided hose and a 5 m cable you reach all round a passenger car without moving it. A compact Kränzle pressure washer for anyone who wants it to last.
Kränzle 1050 TS 10m: the same 130 bar and 450 l/h, but with a 10 m hose and no reel. A simple machine for anyone who mostly cleans the car, wheels and driveway.
Kränzle 7/122 TS: you set the pressure steplessly between 30 and 120 bar, and the water output is 7 l/min. Thanks to the self-priming function it draws water from a jerrycan or tank when there is no tap nearby. At 23 kg it is easy to lift into the car, and the 10 m hose sits on a reel.
Kränzle X 10/140 TST: the entry model of the X series. You set the pressure from 30 to 140 bar with a dial, without changing nozzle. Flow is 600 l/h and the 15 m hose sits on a reel. Low for paint, higher for wheels.
Kränzle Profi 160 TST: working pressure from 30 to 140 bar, maximum permissible 160 bar, and 660 l/h. The D12 quick-release system swaps accessories without tools and the machine can draw water directly. If you are looking for a Kränzle Profi 160 for daily use, this is the one. Weight 45 kg.
Kränzle 2160 TST: 30 to 140 bar and 11 l/min (660 l/h). The Foam Lance V2 comes with it, so you can apply a thick pre-wash layer straight away. The motor runs at 1400 rpm and the machine accepts inlet water up to 60°C.
Kränzle Profi 195 TST: the top model of the Profi series. Working pressure is adjustable from 30 to 170 bar, maximum permissible 195 bar, with 480 l/h and a 1400 rpm motor. Built for the heaviest commercial applications.

Combining with foam and rinsing
A pressure washer is only half of the pre-wash. Browse the pressure washer accessories category for what fits your machine, and the foam cannons and foam guns category for foam lances. How to use the foam is covered in our guide to using snow foam.
