The Kärcher HDS 6/12 C is a compact yet powerful hot water pressure washer designed for professional cleaning applications where grease, oil, and stubborn dirt need to be removed quickly and efficiently. Combining excellent mobility with advanced heating technology, it delivers reliable performance while keeping operating costs low.

Powerful Hot Water Cleaning Performance

Delivering up to 120 bar working pressure and a flow rate of 9 l/min, the HDS 6/12 C provides outstanding cleaning performance for workshops, vehicles, machinery, production areas, and commercial environments. Its integrated hot water and steam capability improves cleaning speed and detergent effectiveness when tackling oil, grease, and heavy contamination.

eco!efficiency Mode for Reduced Running Costs

Kärcher’s innovative eco!efficiency mode reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 20% without compromising daily cleaning performance. This makes the machine both environmentally friendly and economical for long operating periods.

Steam Function for Intensive Cleaning

The integrated steam stage provides temperatures up to 155°C, making it highly effective for removing stubborn grease, sanitising surfaces, and cleaning in hygiene-sensitive environments.

EASY!Force & EASY!Lock Technology

Equipped with Kärcher’s professional EASY!Force trigger gun, the machine reduces operator fatigue by using recoil force to hold the trigger. The EASY!Lock quick-connect system enables significantly faster setup and accessory changes compared to traditional threaded fittings.

Compact Design with Excellent Mobility

The compact “Jogger” chassis design, large wheels, and integrated tilting aid make the machine easy to transport across uneven surfaces, steps, and kerbs. Integrated storage keeps hoses, cables, and accessories organised during transport and operation.

Built for Reliability

The HDS 6/12 C features Kärcher’s Machine Protector system, helping extend component life and protecting the burner coil. Additional features such as the Soft Damping System (SDS), water softening system, and large water filter improve reliability and reduce wear during continuous use.
