I have just emailed Nilfisk about getting the hose real that sits in between the handle.

Apparently a complete waste of time according to one mate who has this. It comes on the c130.

Can't add it anyway just got an email back :fighting:

Seems like a good price at argos for that Nilfisk... amazon want 200.

Rich, it was the cheapest at the time as I searched everywhere.
I would say still good value at £149.
Cleans the Block Paving a treat too.
That bit sold it to the wife :happy2:
If your near me, South Oxon, you can have a go before buying :happy2:

Nilfisk C110 Extra for me :happy2:

Does everything i need it to do. I.E wets the car when cleaning it and will blast the dog shyte off the path when the little bar stewards don't want to use the lawn  :fighting:

Will even clean up paving flags etc and makes them look new again.

IIRC i paid about £60 for it from Amazon but i think they are cheaper now

I use a Nilfisk after being recommended them on here. This is the one I use. Fantastic for the money and works well with the Autobrite HD Foam Lance.

I looked into Karcher ones when I was in the market for a pressure washer. I was quite shocked about the number of poor reviews they got. Google 'Karcher reviews' and start reading... Poor longevity, expensive replacement parts, the list goes on.

So I got a Nilfisk from Amazon, and it has been brilliant. It has never missed a beat, and a foam lance & valet pro foam from our very own Keith made it perfect.

Nilfisk.Highly recommended.

I found the same when i did a bit of resear.  The older karchers seem bulletproof but the new ones not so much.  Slightest touch of frost kills them.

karcher K 5.600 T 200 for me, does the job beautifully and with the different attachements can get everywhere and do everything. I use it for the first wash including applying the snow foam before moving to the two bucket method. One thing to remember about pressure washers is you don't want to get too close to the paint work especially if you already have a scratch or peeling paint somewhere as bad things happen

I use a Karcher and it works very well to be honest.

If you look on there site the pressure washer without the accessories is actually more money.

Was recommended to me by a friend who works for nilfisk, Even he couldn't get me one that cheap.   :confused:

Lidil are doing a special purchase price on a pressure washer for £80 on the 12 March. Nor sure what the brand is. HTH.
