New pressure washer?
« on: 02 January 2011, 11:00 »
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

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.

I bought myself a Karcher K2.14:

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7403181.htm

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:
