The K 5 pump in the Classic body, with the water filter and the aluminum handle — and the full 500 l/h.
Where this ends up The right pump in a sensible body. As with every K 5, budget for a surface cleaner at the same time.
The K 5 Classic Car & Home carries the full K 5 pump — 145 bar and 500 l/h, with a stated 40 m (131 ft)²/h — in the Classic body, with a water filter and an aluminum telescopic handle.
Five hundred liters an hour is the reason to buy a K 5 rather than a K 4. Fifteen bar is nothing; eighty liters an hour is time, on every square meter of every session.
A water filter on the inlet, which is the part people ignore until the machine loses pressure and is then almost always the answer. And an aluminum telescopic handle, which decides whether the machine follows you or gets dragged — and dragging is what splits hoses at the gun.
A surface cleaner. The 40 m (131 ft)²/h figure quietly assumes one. Cleaning a terrace with the lance instead is slower, striped, and throws water up the wall behind you.
No such listing: the American Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.

About a fifth off the time on any surface large enough to measure in tens of square meters, every time you use it. On a car or a set of garden chairs neither machine is the limiting factor — your patience with the lance is. Flow is what carries away what the pressure has loosened.
Because that is how it is measured. A hand-held lance cleans a narrow, striped path at whatever distance your arm happens to be at; a surface cleaner holds the jets at a constant height and covers a wide band evenly. Buying a K 5 without a surface head and then cleaning a terrace with the lance is the most common way to be disappointed by a capable machine.
Measured against the median of its own aisle here — not against everything on sale.
