Great detail to your reviews Booth.

It sounds excellent.

It is a great piece of kit. 

Probably too much detail, but if anyone was thinking of shelling out £££'s for one, it helps to know all the ins and outs of it before you decide.  :smiley:
You can never have enough detail or pictures in a review.
Excellent work!
Now what to buy, vac or Nilfisk P150.2-10 X-tra pressure washer?

Good write up, although I know have product envy having just bought the sidekick............. Hmmmmm, damn my OCD

Sidekick is a great bit of kit.  You could always get the little brother Metrovac Vav n go which is just a hoover.

Could always get both but I've not stopped spending recently.
I suppose the pressure washer has a few more uses round the garden so it might get the nod.

Yes, I know that feeling, the bank account could use a rest........doubt it'll be a long one though, lol.

Get both!  You know you want to ;-)

Well I took the plunge and ordered this https://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products/Product.asp?ID=5646
It arrived yesterday in excellent condition, not a mark on the box.
Decided to try it out on my van as my GTI is not yet here :cry:
Connected everything up and as I attempted to plug it in I noticed the sturdy moulded plug had one severly bent prong, so bent it was not even close to going in the socket.
Contacted their customer support at 3.30 today and am still waiting for a reply.
Not happy :angry:
PS
Should have bought the vac instead Rebecca.

Kalimon, you should've bought the vac instead.  :tongue:

Sorry to hear your Nilfisk woes, hope they sort it out soon.

My thinking was that I can make use of the Nilfisk while I wait for delivery of my car where as the vac is strictly for car use.
By the time they take my faulty machine away and send me a replacement, the car will probably be here!
I shouldn't have over thought it  :laugh:

You need to console yourself with a new vac.  :laugh:
