Title: Recommended pressure washer
Post by: Millzy68 on 20 January 2014, 22:07
Apologies if this is in the wrong section:
I'm determined to keep my black gtd clean ( i say this eveytime I get a new car ! ) so with this in mind I would like some advice on what is the best power washer to buy. Don't want to spend a fortune, hopefully between £100 to £200 and plan to use it with snow foam. I've always been a bit worried about damaging the paintwork with a power washer so hopefully a few people out there can put my mind at rest :wink:

Karcher  :cool:
I've had my Katcher 620M for over 10 years, the only thing it needed was a replacement washer cap which I broke myself, doh!
Never missed a beat.  :wink:

I bought a new one last year. I researched the bottom out of it and bought the blue one which I think is a Nilfisk? I'd go and check but it's far to cold  :smiley: I'll check in the morning though for you...and it was cheap(ish)

I bought a karcher k2 from Amazon which cost about £85. Used it over and it seems good.

I bought karcher as I wanted things like a snow lance and it is easy to find karcher-compatible accessories.

anything Karcher, their customer services is ace and I've never had to pay for a replacement part yet.
