Pay day has arrived!

I'm looking fot a power washer for around £75. Will be used once a week to clean the car.

What have people bought that is good. I used to have a Karcher but it would cut out after 10 minutes or so. I ended up chucking it in the bin last time i moved.

The petrol and diesel vestions look brilliant but for washing the car once a week i think it's a bit over kill.

Nilfisk are a good make

I got this one a year or so ago and has been excellent. I read something about nilfisk having metal parts inside rather than plastic that Karcher has so its more durable

My karcher has been good for 10-12yrs now. Broke recently and cost tm £10 for a new capacitor. Fitted it myself. Hardly anything to go wrong inside them.

The same karcher thats £100-120 in the shops is on eBay, brand new from a proper supplier, with the same warranty, for £75. Makes it in budget for you.

I bought my Karcher from Karcher Outlet just over 2 years ago, it's been spot on. Was refurbed but less than half the going rate for a new one, and came with all the accessories.

They all come with a Karcher 6-month warranty, but you can pay six quid or something to extend the warranty to a year if you want.

Stock will vary on a daily basis; I checked on there a few times over a number of weeks before what I wanted turned up.

Got a Nilfisk E140 about a month ago. 2 year warranty. Had a Nilfisk before that and it lasted me about 7 years before it packed in.

I'm going to pick one of these up over the weekend I think. I only wants it to clean the cars as well as the drive/flags every now and then.

I thought this was pretty cool, it came in the Sealey offer flyer at work.

I bought the Nilfisk one from Argos today. Quite happy with it for the money. Much smaller than the one i used to have.

I used mine earlier today for the 3rd time. Got that Carplan Demon Wash snow foam stuff and used it with the detergent bottle that come with the P/W and it was actually no bad. Came out pretty foamy but didn't really stick as good as what the proper stuff does. Might try the proper stuff through it see what its like. Was going to buy a proper lance but in 2 minds now as it needs going over with a sponge anyway and the standard bottle and foam was adequate enough to do the job.

This beats the eBay price one i mentioned before. That was £75 but didnt have the patio cleaner. I would legitimately use the patio cleaner. I've just bought that deal from screwfix. Nice find. Cheers.
