which pressure washer

[paulwd]

Just need a bit of advice, looking to buy a pressure washer any recommendations and what level of pressure will make a good multipurpose machine. I want it for car cleaning using foam and patio cleaning. I don't want to go over the top as it will not be used a huge amount but by the same token I do not want to spend money on one thats not up to the job. Thanks

Ebay for a second hand kranzle.

Probably around £250 - £300 depending on model etc

Had mine over 5 years and still working.

Don't have to spend that much.
Nilfisk C110 or the C120 will do everything you need for nowhere near the cost of a Kranzle.

Either of these would be ideal for what you want.

One of the Nilfisks I have (C110) is over 3 years old and still going strong.

Just keep an eye on the accessories that are included with the PW, and for what you need.
They all seem to vary, so many different options.....

I just bought the Nilfisk C120 kit and I nearly bought it from cleanstore as I noticed they had a price compare box on the details which listed Screwfix as £29.99 more expensive (their price £103). In practice Screwfix sold it with a patio cleaner head for £99 available to take away rather than wait for delivery:

The slightly naughty advert on cleanstore (click the pricewatch tab to see the Screwfix 'price' :

Anyway, I've never had one before, but find it's great. I've cleaned all my patio, brick edging round the grass, front path as well as the cars numberous times already.

Karcher, they have a (anniversary or something?) model on special offer at the moment.

I too am looking for one of these pressure washers, primarily to snow foam prior to regular two bucket method etc.

Preferably from Halfords as it's going to out of gift vouchers which means either own brand or Karcher.

Don't have patio either.

[OldSkoolRS]

TBH I'd still say spend your vouchers on something else (other cleaning products for example) and buy a Karcher from their outlet online as it will be near half the price of Halfords judging by when I was looking. Either that or buy the cheaper version of what I bought from Screwfix for under £100.

i use a Karcher K7.85M - a few years old

cost about £250 from Screwfix

but it can use hot water up to 60 degrees C
