karcher k2 compact or fullsize (worth getting pressure washer )

[Frodo-anni]

I ended up buying the k2 compact for 48 pounds in B and Q ...  I was thinking about getting the hd snowfoam lance  but I didn't want to overburden
the k2 compact plastic pump lol so just went with the fj 10c karcher snowfoam  for 22 pounds(includes ultra foam cleaner and fits on bottle)
as opposed the older fj6 with its own bottle that you fill up.  I might have gone with the autobrite foam lance  if I had  a more expensive metal pump karcher but don't want to push my luck !

Apologise for not replying from above. With regards to using the autobrite lance. I've been using a lance with my K2 for years with no issues at all. It's a great pre-wash.

I have a K3.  It's lasted me 8 years before I needed to replace some of the seals.

Not bad if you ask me

The k2 full size with (car kit) reduces down to £65 now and then at halfords, i got that with my additional 25% off so i got it even cheaper too

I've had my K2 compact for about 7 years now and still going strong. The standard lance hose is short though so I bought another 10m one and joined them together

Just a note.

The K2 compact is currently on sale in my local halfords.

€83
