Kränzle high-pressure cleaners: Consumer tips
When it comes to cleaning outdoor surfaces, many people automatically think of a well-known brand that starts with the letter K. You may not have immediately thought of a Kränzle high-pressure cleaner. However, the devices from the Bavarian manufacturer are definitely worth a closer look.
High-pressure cleaners from Kränzle are available for both ambitious home use and as professional devices for everyday work. Therefore, the price range is generally between approximately 250 and several thousand pounds.
Kränzle high-pressure cleaner for private use
From a private application perspective, the Kränzle high-pressure cleaners can be classified in the higher price segment. Depending on the model, you can expect to pay up to 370 pounds. For home use, Kränzle offers three model variants, each with a working pressure of 130 bar:
- Kränzle K 1050 P:
- portable device with compact dimensions for cleaning tasks around the house and garden
- Kränzle K 1050 TS:
- mobile high-pressure cleaner with practical winding aids for hose and power cable
- Kränzle KS 1050 TST:
- also mobile and equipped with an integrated hose reel
The TS and TST models can also be operated in a lying position, providing the devices with particularly high stability during your cleaning tasks. All variants come with a steel mesh high-pressure hose in different lengths. Additionally, you can precisely adjust the water flow and working pressure on all Kränzle high-pressure cleaners.
Under the name "Light Line", Kränzle also offers practical accessories for its high-pressure cleaners. These include a special dirt killer lance, a lance extension, a wash brush that allows you to gently clean glass, wood, or plastic, as well as the Round Cleaner Ufo: With this, you can combat dirt on driveways or other large areas. The attachment enables efficient surface cleaning and also protects you from splashes or flying stones.
Kränzle high-pressure cleaner in test – Kränzle instead of Kärcher?
The Kränzle high-pressure cleaners must prove themselves in tests, particularly against the market leader Kärcher. As the results show, the devices do not need to hide in terms of performance and quality.
In a test by Stiftung Warentest in 2015, a model from Kränzle and Kärcher were tied in the overall ranking. The high-pressure cleaner from Kränzle impressed with better cleaning performance in direct comparison.
In an issue of the test magazine from 2015, the Kränzle K 2160 TS T emerged as the sole test winner. In 2017, the Kränzle K 1050 TST lost to Kärcher by just a narrow margin. The test magazine highlighted the stability and particularly large action radius of the devices. Even though Kärcher has now even coined the term for cleaning with high-pressure cleaners, the device does not necessarily have to be black and yellow. As the tests show, the light blue Kränzle high-pressure cleaners are at least equally matched.
Conclusion
Kränzle high-pressure cleaners come with hefty prices. Competitors from the premium segment like Kärcher or Stihl offer significantly cheaper entry-level models. However, if you regularly use a high-pressure cleaner, the devices from Kränzle are definitely a worthwhile investment.
