No socket, no limit · review
The only machine on this site that publishes a working pressure and a flow rate together.
The bottom line The most completely specified machine in this comparison. Buy it for reach and independence, not for a terrace.
The Güde Fuel 250 publishes the pair of numbers this whole site argues for: 234 bar of working pressure and 590 l/h of flow, from a 5.9 hp four-stroke engine, through a 9 m hose.
Pressure breaks the bond between dirt and surface. Flow carries the dirt away. Publish only one and a buyer cannot tell whether a machine is fast or merely forceful. Publish both, as here, and the comparison becomes arithmetic: 590 l/h is around 18 % more water than the Kärcher K 5’s 500 l/h, at roughly 60 % more pressure.
At this level, technique stops being a preference. Softwood decking, render, lime mortar, painted metal and window seals all fail before the machine does. Start far away, use the widest fan that works, and treat the 0° nozzle as a tool for concrete and drains only.
No cable, no socket, no limit on where the machine goes. In exchange: fuel, oil, an air filter, a plug, winter storage, and a strict rule against running it in any enclosed space.
One reference across Germany, the UK, France, Italy and Spain. Not sold on Amazon’s US store.

Because pressure lifts dirt and flow carries it away, and a machine strong in one and weak in the other disappoints in a way the box never explains. 234 bar with 590 l/h is a genuinely fast combination on hard surfaces. Most listings publish one number, or a peak figure that describes nothing.
Usually not. A good electric machine at 130 to 150 bar with 450 to 500 l/h cleans a domestic terrace perfectly well, starts instantly, and needs no oil changes. Petrol earns its place where there is no power, or where the machine works for hours at a time.
