Karcher XPert Pressure Washer Range
Karcher are well known around the world for their domestic and professional pressure washers; however one range that is perhaps not as well known is the XPert series, a selection of semi-professional machines which could be said to occupy a middle ground between the domestic and professional class.
As anyone familiar with Karcher’s cleaning products may be aware, the company splits its product groups into two classes: Domestic or Professional. The two are easily identified by colour – as a rule, domestic tools and machines are yellow, while the professional grade products are denoted by a grey colour scheme. Domestic rated products are intended for the home & garden market and their warranties do not cover commercial use, unlike the professional machines and accessories which are engineered to cope with the demands of sustained use and are built with robust components to ensure a longer lifetime when subjected to environments such as building sites, garages, agricultural facilities and vehicle depots.
The Xpert range is part of the Professional class, but is priced at the lower end of the spectrum, putting it more or less on a par with the top end of Karcher’s K series pressure washers. In fact the Karcher Xpert Deluxe HD 7125 X Pressure Washer can currently be purchased for exactly the same amount of money as the flagship of Karcher’s K Series, the K7, while the Karcher XPERT ONE HD 7125 Pressure Washer can be had for approximately £100 less.
So who are these machines designed for? Well, firstly they can make an attractive proposition to anyone looking at the higher end of Karcher’s Domestic product range. Although they are not as powerful as the K7, do not have the Full Control trigger gun and lack some of the accessories supplied with K series machines, the trade-off here is the industrial build quality and superior grade components.
Secondly, they are ideal for light to medium duty professional use. While not as capable and powerful as the high end professional machines (and priced accordingly) the Xpert range is covered by Karcher’s Commercial warranty which means they are fully guaranteed when used by businesses, organisations or tradesmen. For a small business that needs a pressure washer, e.g for keeping company vehicles, machinery or premises clean, an Xpert machine may be the perfect solution.
Available models
Currently the Xpert range consists of two (or technically three) machines: the Karcher XPERT DELUXE HD 7125 X Pressure Washer, a 160 bar machine which is available in 240v only, and the Karcher XPERT ONE HD 7125 Pressure Washer, which is available in 240v or 110v – making it suitable for safe use on building sites and in other industrial environments. This model provides 160 bars of pressure in the 240v configuration or 110 bars for the 110v version. Both 240v options provide plenty of high pressure cleaning power for general tasks, such as cleaning vehicles, driveways and paving, while the 110v option makes an economical investment for light duty construction site and industrial work.
All of these pressure washers have stainless steel & brass components for corrosion resistance and long term durability, and are supplied with a heavy duty wire braided anti kink hose. The Deluxe model includes an integrated hose reel for rapid uncoiling and rewinding of the high pressure hose, and we currently supply it with a free accessory pack that includes two vehicle cleaning sprays, along with a pair of work gloves and safety glasses.
Accessories
The current generation of Xpert machines use Karcher’s Easy!Force quick release accessory system, and are designed to be used with either Easy!Force accessories (which simply lock into place) or with the older screw-in HD accessories if used in conjunction with an adaptor. This means they are fully compatible with a wide range of professional grade accessories, including drain cleaning and sandblasting kits, specialist lances & nozzles, wash brushes and hard surface cleaners.

Hi Steven, the HD 7125 X is covered by a 1 year commercial warranty, ie “This product carries a full 1 year commercial manufacturers warranty covering both faulty materials and faulty workmanship. It does not cover general wear and tear or damage, batteries, blades, bulbs and other consumables. High pressure hoses are covered only for 3 months and are easily damaged by being trodden on or driven over. In the unlikely event of a fault the item returned is subject to fair wear & tear and must not have been used beyond the scope of it’s design.
