Kärcher

Kärcher is a family business from Winnenden, founded in 1935 by Alfred Kärcher, which built Europe’s first hot-water pressure washer in 1950 – the yellow machines have been close to a generic term ever since.

The range goes much further: wet-dry vacuums, window vacs, steam cleaners, sweepers, garden watering. Alongside the domestic line sits a separate professional series, recognisable by different pump technology and parts supply.
