Think I have decided it is going to be the Karcher HD5  11C  it says it is the professional range and at £315 delivered looks good value , they do a snow foam attachment for a extra £20.

Have you seen the Kranzle portable Group Buy on Detailing World ?
What made you mind up on the 11C ?
I'm after a similar quality washer thats going to last many years , i hate stuff that breaks and falls to bits !

Same here - the Kranzle is £399 reduced from a normal £530ish ,  better than Karcher by far  :innocent:

Nilfisk over Karcher by a mile.

Jus search the net for the reasons why!

if buying a karcher make sure you get a 3 series model and up, as they are the models that are fitted with the metal pumps as opposed to plastic pumps on the lesser models.

My old gripe with the nilfisk is the sh*tty hose. It's sooooo hard and inflexible.

Nilfisk P150.2-10 x-tra

This model is getting good reviews slightly cheaper than the equivalent Karcher also found one with 2 yr guarantee £299  vs £325  and the nilfisk has a 3kw motor as opposed to a 2.1kw karcher

Seams the boys on DW like the Nilfisk

My vote goes to Karcher...but then I've only had two in the last 22-23years!
I bought the first one,a K4 series, circa 1996 or 7 and it worked flawlessly and the pump unit still does..it was only let down by the high pressure hose bursting and the expense of a new(and getting ripped of on Ebay for some cheap counterfiet one :ashamed:) one made the cheap and cheerful one in Tescos for £99.99 a bargain.
3 years down the line and it still works perfectly and I still have the old one as a back up!

Has anyone noticed how large the variation is on ebay for prices of the Nilfisk and the Karcher that SCOOBA has highlighted

How can they ever sell any at the higher prices ?

Like the look of the Nilfisk P150.2-10 x-tra  :smiley:

Totally confused now , Seams higher end Karchers are ok ,nilfisk don't seam to have anyone having a bad word about them or this Kranzle thing. I just want a quality machine seams for around 300 thats what you need to spend .

Hi Gerrard

Decided to attempt to fix my broken Karcher as I was bored it now rests in the bin Piece of sh*t , I have narrowed it down to a Nilfisk just need to confirm a model but looks like a P150.2-10 X-tra with two year warranty around £295 delivered .
