[Closed] Which pressure washer (patio, car, conservatory etc)?

I got a Nilfisk from Maplin when they had an offer on.
Had it since January and no problems with it. Seems like a good bit of kit.
Can't comment on the Karcher though.

Was it a [url= http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/nilfisk-c120-6-6-pca-x-tra-120-bar-high-performance-pressure-washer-n49qh ]C120 like this[/url]?

Yeah, that's the one with all that kit.
I've only used the standard lance though so can't comment on the patio thingy and the spiny brush.

maybe Karcher k4 from their "outlet" store I think they were half price
- if you have lots to do getting a unit that is rated for longer continuous use may be a good ides - K2 = light use - K4 - more heavy duty. I have an old - 10 years old Lavor it weighs a ton - and still works - recently got a k2 for ease of moving it around it is very light
and works - but I would be surprised if it lasted as long as the old Lavor.

Ive got a K2.

Its plenty powerful enough - any more powerful and you run the risk of damaging stuff too easily.

But for a german company its appallingly badly designed.
Im inclined to dismantle it and fit the pump to a home made box. The pump is fine, the casing is crap - no sensible cable management, stupid pull out detergent suction hose that is god awful design when it works and anyway mine has stopped working. Hose connections could have been made more practical - you have one hose at the front, one at the rear, cable going in the back, detergent hose coming out of another orifice - it's just really untidy, impractical design.

However, the lance and the pump itself are great.

Yeah, I agree the K2 looks powerful enough but the all-round durability etc is what some people are questioning.

Not heard of Lavor.

Karcher outlet store haven't any stock but now I know that site exists I'll have a nose around for other stuff.

Decided to order a Nilfisk C120 with all the toys as it was on an Amazon time-limited discount of £69 (down from £209). Looks excellent.

Ta all

Nilfisk here, I got mine from D&M in Twickenham. The C120 with all the toys is £120

Nilfisk FTW

I have had mine now for 5 years and it doesn't miss a beat. They have metal pumps rather than plastic which is supposed to be a good thing.

The patio washer attachment works really well if you have a patio or slabs. I use mine every year to spring clean my slabs and it brings them up a treat.

£69 is really good value!

Yep, normal discounted price is £109 so an extra £40 off is bang tidy.

70 quid is about what I paid for mine rather than the 130 it is now.
It is a great bit of kit for that price.

When does the £69 deal expire?

I just checked and the deal is no longer appearing (on a new browser session too, so nothing cached). Back to £109.

Nilfisks are excellent and that price was a real bargain but even at full price they're good.

I just got a k4 with patio cleaner thingy from B&Q for £197 reduced for £299 😯

its good.

just ordered karcher k4 from their outlet store £104 but you only get the basic kit -unit,pipes,lance. extra's available for a cost

This afternoon? There were no PWs on their site at all around lunchtime.

is the k2 too powerful for bike cleaning?

I've heard people advise against any pressure washer, but methinks some must have variable PSI do they not?

I've got the k4, Tis awesomzz.

Karcher G4.10 here. A little overkill really...

Aldi have got one in at the moment. It's 90 quid, and the flow rate and pressure figures stack up to nilfisk and karchers at almost double the money.
