Hi all.
For some unknown reason my Karcher has completely died after being returned by the neighbour. No apparent damage, just won't turn on at all.
Anyhow, that aside, I need to buy a new one.
Seeing as it's the time of sales, can anyone recommend a new budget pressure washer, price, and where to get one?
P.s. No, I won't ask the neighbour to buy a new one, before anyone asks. ;)
Thanks

try machine mart mate they do a range from nilfisk from 40 quid i think
-
Nilfisk had one on Amazon down from £129 to around £50.
-
Didn't know they where that cheap now I mite got my self one
-
nilfisk all the way guys you cant go wrong with a nilfisk, very good machines,good quality componants.
please keep in mind though guys that non commersial units will have a limited life which is measured in hours so although these are great machines they will only be able to take a certain amount of hammering.

I got this nilfisk from machine mart a few months ago - http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/nilfisk-c120-3-6pc-pressure-washer/path/domestic-power-washers
At the time they were cheaper than Amazon.
It's not cheap (£90) but works damn well for patio cleaning, far better than the Stihl I used to have.

Get yourself down to Argos. Nilfisk C120.3-6 for £89.99 :grin:

I bought myself a Karcher K2.14:

I bought it cheap on eBay for around £30 so even if i get 6 months out of it then great! Had it around 6 months and it does the trick perfectly! Does need a longer hose though... (No rude comments please...) :rolleyes:

i'll second that, i have 10m of hydrolic hose on mine,best thing i ever did really, saves you having to keep moving the machine around the car.

Yeah when this one kicks the bucket (pardon the pun) i'll get a Nilfisk with a larger hose, but of more importance at the moment is a DA and all the relevant accessories!
