please advise inlet pressure?

I'm seeking to make comparison with the 210 karcher model I've had for a number of years. 100 bar output, same flow rate of 6 litres per min.....but also has a specified input flow. Power is 1.6 kW as compared to 1.4 k2 compact. Mine has seen good service but is perhaps due for retirement. I am keen to be sure to replace it with something at least comparable, although I do note additional tool package with a K2 Summary: lower wattage, slightly higher output pressure, same flow rate. So question is how significant might comparison of INPUT pressure be?

    Input pressure is not important as these machines will work with low pressure (a bucket pond or water but) Only if the inlet pressure is excessive could this be an issue (greater than 10 Barr).
