            Karcher K4 vs K5 Summary The Karcher K5 has a higher flow rate and maximum pressure rating in addition to a longer hose compared to the Karcher K4. Both models are similarly sized and come with two nozzles, a 5 meter mains cable and quick connect system. The K4 is cheaper than the K5 pressure washer.
