Best off in detailing section.

Nilfisk is the way forward and everyone on detailing world rates them.

Don't get karcher.. I spent similar money on one and it only lasted a year.

If your budget can stretch then get kranzle.. I have the K7/120 and its a proper workhorse and really quiet.

says it does on this one? http://www.screwfix.com/prods/53725/Cleaning/Pressure-Washers/Nilfisk-C110-3-5-PC-X-tra-110bar-Pressure-Washer-230V

out of interest where did you get it from and how much?

you might want to see if you can double the length of the hose as a 5m hose would drive me crazy

5m hose seemed to be fine for me can longer ones be bought
it cost me 60inc vat from machine mart

the screwfix is a better deal as i never got the patio cleaner with mine
never thought to look on screwfix but on the other hand i wont be cleaning my patio

hope i can use snow foam with it they is no air valve on the bottle though would that matter??
