My new driveway has some green patches on it, so obviously one of these is essential for cleaning. Wasn't bothered about them until I saw how awful it looks!
I know Nilfisk are internet approved and Karcher are more mainstream accepted, but have plastic something that break, whereas the Nilfisks are metal.
Problem is, I have no idea of the technical details.
I've seen this one, which looks good and comes with the extra bits for £85 after the 15% discount is added.

Are there any other options?

Nilfisk are real world approved, not just internet.
Hard to beat them for bang for buck tbh and outright performance. I have the C110 4-5 Xtra and it works great. Shifted the shite from the crazy paving I have in the back garden.

I saw the c110 model for £60 which seemed very cheap!
Whats the difference between 110 and 120 bar? I bet someone says 10  Is it something i'll notice doing regular household tasks and occasionally using it on the cars?

I think for medium duty cleaning tasks you want between 110-130 bar. Mines is used mostly for cleaning the car and it's spot on. Used it once on the paving in the back garden and it shifted the dirt no probs.

I have had a C110 for two years. No complaints here, it's great.

I have the 110 as well and it's superb. Powerful enough to bring my old monoblocks back up to scratch.

Iv got the Aldi power craft karcher copy for at home the man who services my big diesel steamer in work advised me it was great value for money for home use as it's built by karcher, that was years ago I think the new ones are Chinese, never had any issues with it apart from when I needed to do some degreasing then I brought the big diesel one home lol no nonsense with one of them

Ive got the "karcher k2" premium car & home, come with patio cleaner, loads of attachments and 2 bags of patio/car detergents. Paid £110 from homebase and its wicked. Patio cleaner is a good tool, halves the time it takes to clean a patio/driveway.

I've got the same. On my second one now as the first one did the old karcher hunting shit and broke down. Replaced without a single question though. Top quality. I use the vario lance on my driveway and patio. Works a treat

So the c110 is good then? certainly seems that way!
It's actually a Xmas present so I might aswell go for the 120. It can't be worse than the 110, surely?

Nah C110 just happened to be on offer way back when I bought it.
It may even have been the only Nilfisk available at that time - didn't really research them too much.
Get whatever is being promoted!

C110 is frequently down to less than £50. Have a look on HUKD.

I just bought a Karcher K4, and my mate some Nilfisk one, the Nilfisk doesn't seem as good to me, i think he got the smaller/cheaper one though.

I think he's ordered the nilfisk 120 from homebase. Hope it's decent. He Originally ordered the karcher k2 (full size one) until I questioned why, when I already said get the nilfisk
