Title: Bought One Of These Here's Hoping It's Not Junk
Post by: Captain Sensible on 26 March 2010, 14:18
Just for washing the car, thought I could not look past it for the price. Anyone have one ? Also bought Super Snow Foam

Nilfisk are getting great reviews at the moment. If I was only using a domestic one then I would have got one of these.

Perhaps, once you have used it a few times, you could add your review and thoughts on here :)

Thanks Guy that sounds positive :smiley:. Yes I will put up a review but it will take a few weeks as I am at deep sea working and will be home mid April.

You're having a laugh aren't ya?

I used to think Karcher were good due to their popularity and market saturation. They aren't. Mine broke after a year and I wouldn't waste my money on them.

A very common thread on DW is 'help! Karcher broken!'

yep i'll second that, karchers are crap as far as reliabilty goes, when they work there fine but they dont stay working for long.

and i'll second that, that on DW there are very frequent threads regarding broken karchers.

Fair play, mine is going strong still ... and Ive seen most corner shop' style valeters use Karcher, so I guess its the popularity factor!

My Karcher broke after about 9 months of little use  :angry:

Swapped it for a Bosch which seems to be quite good. Agree with Guy though, my next machine will be a Kranzle  :smiley:
