Karcher PGG 6/1 (1.042-208.0)

When it comes to high-end cleaning technology, products under the Karcher brand name immediately come to mind. At the same time, the assembly of related equipment has been set up at the manufacturer's facilities. For example, recently the company's portfolio has been replenished with gasoline generators.

Strong middle class

The middle model in the newly minted range of mobile power plants generates electricity at a rated power level of 5 kW. This will be quite enough to organize a backup power supply for lighting fixtures, household appliances and power tools. Also, the unit will serve as an autonomous source of energy for Karcher high-pressure washers.

Optimal flow

According to the “passport”, the model consumes 2.08 liters of fuel per hour. However, in fact, this indicator can “float” within wide limits — the “voracity” of the unit directly depends on the level of power consumption of the connected consumers. At maximum engine speed, the gasoline reserves in the 25-liter tank of the device are enough for a 6.5-hour duration of electricity generation. In half power mode — for 10-12 hours in a row.

German quality

In terms of electrical outlets , the model is equipped with three 230 V sockets and 12 V DC outlets. A stable voltage level is maintained by the AVR auto-regulator, and the built-in voltmeter helps to monitor the current voltage value. The voltage value is displayed on the information mini-display. It also shows the "mileage" of the motor, i.e. number of hours worked. Convenience when transporting the unit is added by tubeless wheels in combination with a folding push handle. The work of the German Karcher engineers is difficult to overestimate — the brand's gas generators turned out to be strong on all fronts and have practically no disadvantages. With a stretch, only increased noise during operation (95 dB) can be classified as such.
