we all know Karcher are famous for making pressure washers hundreds of millions of
homes and businesses use them every single day and if you see a pressure washer especially a yellow
one you instantly think Karcher right right Karcher also produce a range of gray products
this is their professional line of equipment from pressure washers to Municipal Road sweepers and
floor scrubber dryers so if you're in a commercial agricultural world you probably already know this
but what have we told you they had a secret range of professional equipment that hardly
anybody knows about yeah that's right they've got a full-on range of professional landscape
equipment with some very interesting features that others do not have so stay tuned to find
out what they are okay so it's not a complete secret because you've been able to buy this range
for a little while but why don't more people know about this did you know Karcher make professional
landscape equipment pop it in the comments they have a chainsaw handheld blower Backpack Blower
brush cutter hedge trimmer line trimmer multi-tool with long Rich hedge trimmer and pole saw as well
as a 21 inch lawnmower all running off the same battery platform but more about these in a bit
because there is a hidden feature that you need to know about these this is all awesome news but
even better the Karcher Pro batteries also power a backpack vacuum cleaner a battery-powered pressure
washer an upright vacuum a floor sweeper and a carpet cleaner what why are we only just finding
out about this so here we have the 21 inch lawn mower yes it's got the build quality of a
professional machine but it still has the folding handlebars so that you can put it easily into the
back of your van or for storage in your shed it runs on either one battery or you can put the two
batteries in it but it only runs on One battery at a time and then when you're ready to change the
other battery you pull out the key switch the key round and then it uses the battery on the other
side you can either use the big batteries or the small batteries which is really really helpful and
it's got a single height adjustment with a really nice display on the side which goes from three
centimeters up to 11 centimeters but the main difference about this motor is on the back because
with the grass box you can just lift it off you haven't actually got to pull up a flap first to
be able to get the grass box off is because in the design here they've actually put sensors in
there so you haven't got to have the flap on the back the main difference for that is that you've
got to have the grass on or the supplied mulch plug can go on and also go into those gaps so
really nice bit of Kit if you want to see the full review on this pop it in the comments and we'll
bring it out very soon so this is a handheld blow which has got some nice features not only does it
have a trigger it has a turbo button but also has the hands-free as well so you can push that down
like so and you haven't got to keep your finger on the trigger all the time so it's got a nice
feature which I haven't seen on another blower which has actually got hooks so you can actually
put it on a shoulder harness because after sort of 20 minutes of blowing you can start to feel that
weight on your arm something's really nice feature so it developed a nice solid Backpack Blower with
some individual features it's got the very same hand controls as the handheld blower but you
can put two batteries in the backpack blower and also it's on an anti-vibe system so you haven't
got that sort of shock on your back so with the really padded shoulder straps it's really really
comfortable right so the dedicated brush care and by that I mean it's got a metal blade on the end
oh yes it has three pointed steel blade which is designed for your stinging it or is your thistles
your longer grass areas and those rough areas you don't want to go when running out of string line
it's got some really nice features like a padded shaft protector which also houses the cabling down
through it so that you don't get the cable hung up all the time on your shoulder straps comes with a
full padded harness and on the triggers you've got a maximum and minimum setting as well as a
variable speed trigger great bit of Kit nice cow handles I recommend it so on the hedge trimmer it
has a twisty back handle so that you can angle it towards the work you're doing which makes it
much much easier for the sides of hedging but also it's got the battery on that bit so your
weight distribution is a lot better when you first look at you think that might look a bit
awkward actually when you're using it it makes a lot of sense it's got two speed control on it so
you have your blades going fast or slow and the blade design is very different when you've got
a wider blade on one side and a thinner blade on the other which actually looks like it might last
a nice bit of time and then including an aluminum gearbox housing on the bottom nice so the line
trimmer it comes with two speed settings and a variable trigger down at the business end it's got
streaming guard on it which they all do but some are too small some are too big I think this is a
nice size and also the bump feed streaming heads and just bang it on the ground to let more line
out nice bit of Kit and the multi-tool unit where you can change the head this has the pole pruner
on and this has the hedge trimmer hedge trimmer ideal for up high longer branches and the Pulsar
obviously for bits you can't reach you know bits are a bit too Hefty for the hedge trimmer ideal
to have that as an option on the trigger side of things it has a variable speed trigger with
two speeds as with the strimmer and I presume at some point they'll also bring out some other
attachments for this I don't know that but let's hope so so the chainsaw it has a 16 inch bar and
chain so plenty enough meat there for what most people need to do it's got that sort of petrol
size saw feel about it which I think is nice some battery saws feel a little bit light and
feel a little bit nibble but this actually feels like it's got some goodness inside it very much
like it it's solid all the way around and also comes with the chain tensioning spanner within
the back case for Easy Storage so you haven't got to either keep it in your pocket or try
and run to the toolbox every time you need it and I saw definitely worth it let's go out of
the cartridge battery products which one would you choose first right now let's check out see
what's so special about those batteries the car to provide two sizes of battery a six amp hour
and a 7.5 amp hour which runs on their 36 volt system so on the Karcher fast charger the 6 amp
power charges in 68 minutes to 80 percent and the 7.5 amp hour charges in 81 minutes to 80 right so
the batteries are very different than what I've ever seen before on the market because they've
got a little LCD display okay that isn't that revolutionary and it says your percentage on there
rather than just like an increment counter like a green light like you see almost this actually
says 29 on this battery and then this one here says 83 so you get a very accurate percentage
on there but what these batteries do is when you plug them into your machine and pull the
trigger it tells you how many minutes you've got left on that machine within that battery
how cool is that it's absolutely amazing why just it makes so much sense you pick up your
machine you put your battery into it and it says oh cool I've got 30 minutes left on that machine
I know I've got time to do that hedge or I put it into the blower and I think oh it's only got 10
minutes on that blower I have plenty of time for that quick little job I've got to do I think that
is revolutionary and every product should have that why not it's brilliant so Karcher have made
a real effort with their battery-powered range and they've definitely bucked a trend especially
when it comes to the batteries and to be honest it's very commercially viable for the end user
the question is if you were to invest in a battery powered range or even upgrade would you consider
Karcher now knowing all this information I think it's definitely worth considering hopefully what
