Kärcher was founded in Stuttgart in 1935 by engineer and inventor Alfred Kärcher. The young company first concentrated on heating equipment, including industrial furnaces and hot-air systems, before applying its engineering expertise to a new field.

In 1950 Kärcher developed Europe's first hot-water high-pressure cleaner, the DS 350, laying the foundation for its future in cleaning technology. After Alfred Kärcher's death in 1959, Irene Kärcher continued the business, focused its direction and accelerated international expansion while retaining family ownership.

The current range includes pressure washers, wet-and-dry vacuums, floor-care machines, steam cleaners, pumps and specialist professional systems. Pressure, flow rate, duty cycle, power supply, debris or liquid type, accessory compatibility and the surface being cleaned determine the appropriate machine and setup.

Power-Hub carries Kärcher across pressure cleaning, vacuuming, floor care and cleaning-accessory categories. The live ranking below will identify the strongest populated areas, followed by five relevant products available through the store.
