right... looking at 'reliable' pressure washer as my karcher has just decided that it doesn't like me anymore and has packed up :angry:
i have been reliably informed that the Kranzle K7/120 is the baby to be going for as that will happily work from a genny and tank set-up and be good for 6-8hours a day :evil:
now.. I have looked at autobrite direct, valet pro and malcleanse... and the best price I can find is £400 in VAT... does anyone know anywhere else I could try to beat that price?

Had a quick look at it seems that is the lowest you'll get it for.

its the 10LPM version of the K7... but that flow rate is too fast for drawing water off a tank... :undecided:

cheers fella
I spoke to Mark @ Autobrite and he has done me a deal which was good of him. He said the K7 was the better one to go for with a tank as it had the slower motor... also... it would give me 30% more water/time when using a tank which kinda makes sense ecologically/financially/logistically
my tank is 250L iirc
10LPM = 25 mins
7LMP = 35min
Mark also has the connector for me to transfer over from my old karcher HD snowfoam bottle... but I will have to buy a new underbody lance :sad:
the thread over on DW also leans towards the K7 - http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=153105&page=2 (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=153105&page=2)

well... used the kranzle for the first time this morning
have to say that I am most impressed
it seems to be a lot smoother with the waterflow than the karcher I had.. I always seemed to be fighting the karcher... this was just a smooth application of pressure
the pressure washer itself is tiny... and it is soooo quiet... the karcher I had was a noisy, plastiky, rattly, jerky old lump... this is a solid and assured bit of kit
I used the underbody lance I ordered with it and that is very good too.. great quality construction
the hose is much better than the karcher one... and much longer too... so nice to be able to walk around the car without having to go back and move the pressure washer...
have to say that despite the price I am pleased with the purchase... it feels as though it'll last for years and for a bit of kit I will be using daily it seems perfect
one minor downside is that it was shipped on its side and arrived damaged with a plastic faring on the side snapped... but the supplier is sending a new plastic cover so it is all good

nice one guy :cool: thanks for writing up your findings on the k7 :wink: i will be getting one when cash permits as my stihl pressure unit is very tired now from years of blasting crap from arches of customers motors that seem to drive through fields :huh:
next time your up my way pop in for a cuppa and maybe give me a quick demo if you have time :wink:

I have the bottle but I am swapping over the adapter to a kranzle one so all I will have spare is the adapter... I will probably keep this in case of emergency
