Kränzle makes pressure washers for people who use them every day. A K1152 or K2160 is a brass-pump, industrial-duty machine with serviceable parts, and it is built to run for hours rather than the fifteen-minute duty cycle a consumer machine assumes.
The argument for spending four to five times a consumer machine’s price is duty cycle and repairability. Kränzle publishes parts diagrams, the pumps can be rebuilt, and the Canadian dealer network — the densest of any brand on this shelf, with more than fourteen dealers — means service is a real option rather than a promise.
The argument against is obvious: for a car a fortnight, this is far more machine than the job needs. We list Kränzle because there is no honest substitute at the professional end, not because most people should buy one.
