Pressure washers.
« on: December 03, 2013, 05:47:45 am »
I am looking to buy a decent pressure washer , I have had experience with two Karchers both have died one was a 110v and one 240v ,I don't know the model numbers but it has left me thinking do I buy mega cheap and use them as a consumable or buy one from there Pro Range around  £500 and hope it lasts .

Any advice on the type or price would be great as I have become a little confused as to what is the best

TIA

I need another one soon too . Karcher ones i have had appear to be ok initially,  but after a while you find out that they are quite cheaply put together . I am quite happy to pay alot more for one too if they are worth the £300+ that i have seen them for . So those that know about these things give us some advice . Thanks  :smiley:

I bought one from the karcher outlet, a while back recommended to me by Monte on here. Cheap as chips and perfect working (if not new) condition for a 1/3 of the RRP.

Nilfisk pressure washers might be worth a look too, Had my C120 for 2 years and it's never missed a beat.

Had my Karcher almost 18 years and still going strong. I keep thinking I will replace it one day but all the time it continues I'll leave it.  :happy2:

IIRC most Karchers have plastic pumps. Nilfisk and higher end Karchers have metal ones.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

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.

Had my Karcher for at least 5 years and hasn't missed a beat, other than a perished seal after about 3 years... gets a hard time too.
