Pressure washer.....cheap and cheerful......which one?

[vivid white]

Hi All,

I'm looking to pick up a pressure washer and have found new Karcher ones on eBay for £42.99 but wondered how good these are likely to be? Im not a hardcore car washer so I am only really looking for something nice and cheap but I didn't know whether any one could suggest another one for a similar price?

Thanks
James

Machine mart - nilfisk

Brass pumps opposed to the karchers plastic.

Great flow rate on them too and a good gaurantee

I've had one for quite a while now and it's been great!

Our Karcher one died, we repaired it and it died again, all within about 18 months of it being bought. Been using it's replacement, a cheap Halfords one, for years now and it's a good basic washer.

My karcher died after about 1 year and 1 week (just outside warranty!), they have plastic pumps that wear out. I wouldn't buy one again.

I replaced it with a commercial karcher one which has a metal pump and so far has lasted my about 2 years, still going strong

Nilfisk is the only way mate. Buy cheap buy twice

Too true. Karcher used to be the dogs until they cost cut. Nilfisk use brass pumps. Iirc, they have a 2 yr gaurantee

Halfrauds 2 yrs old never had a prob

Nilfisk is the only choice imo

Heard loads of bad stories about Karchers, but had mine 3 years and its been fine, not a single problem. I must be one of the lucky few! :thumbup1:

Our Karcher has laster pretty well to be honest (maybe 2yrs +) but my halfords one which was pretty much the same price broke after using it 5/6times!!

To be honest If I were to buy another one I wouldn't skimp as you'll get a crap flow rate and a broken washer after a while too

Hi all,

I managed to source a nilfisk c110 from Argos today and picked it up earlier today. Looking forward to the weekend so I can get cleaning!

Thanks for all the help.
