I'm not saying this is your problem, but the snow foam guns do struggle with those washers. It's to do with the flow rate

Erm, Its all to do with how much you wanna spend. £200 should see you getting a well spec'd karcher. I spent over £300 on mine over two years ago for obvious reasons, it gets used a lot! It's worked without a hitch since. I think I'll be buying a kranzle next time round! But the karcher has served me well! I think my model is k7.90

Hi Maxitrol,

I personally dont think you will have any problems with the foam lance and that karcher - I know of a few people who have them and they work fine.

Hope this helps

Jim :happy2:

I was a demo today for some pressure washers and the Kranzle K7 was rolled out to try along with another one whose name escapes me, liked the K7 and some good results with it not bad price £450 but the other was £1k reduced to £695 excl of vat but it came with everything you need to start up a wash bay.
