Karcher have an ebay outlet. The nilf looks good value for money. Consider a 1ltr snow foam bottle attachment. There was a group buy on here at one point.

I've got one of the ones from the Argos link above and it's spot on. Had a karcher before and this one seems better quality. Also they have a metal compressor rather than plastic which the karcher has. The karcher are prone to leak like mine did after 15 months

I work on pressure washers all day, the smallest machine i would buy is the Nilfisk E140 it's not the cheapest but you can get ALL the parts for it if it breaks. with pressure washers you really do get what you pay for.
