My Karcher K6.50 has finally died, but what do I replace it with?

Looking at the options it comes down to Karcher K7, Nilfisk P150 or Kranzle K1050. All are in the £300 to £400 bracket, but which is best?

Also I bought a snow foam lance for the Karcher so will this only fit Karcher or are Nilfisk and Kranzle got similar fittings? If not are there adaptors available?

Get the Kranzle - you won't regret it...

Although the Nilfisks have a good reputation too.

Kranzle's are over rated in my opinion - not hugely reliable from personal experience.

You won't go wrong with either the nikfisk or karcher.

If you go with the nilfisk or kranzle you'll be able to get an adapter for the snow foam lance from elite car care.

cheers

Have now read through all the data on the various machines and found the following:-

I'm assuming that the Karchers have alloy piston heads as per my old K6.50. The others have brass tops.

The Karcher come with patio/deck cleaners which will please the wife. They also have 5 year warranties.

The Kranzle looks the best made with stainless lances but is less powerful than the others, has less features, a shorter hose and no hose reel and no current adaptor for my Autobrite Lance.

The Nilfisk P150 compares well to the K7 power wise and if you add a patio cleaner to the cost it only comes out at £365.

But the Karcher 5 year warranty is quite compelling and my last Karcher has lasted me for over 10 years.

Comments from Nilfisk and Kranzle users please?
