Which pressure washer for £100?

[davidd]

My pressure washer has died so I need a new one to rid my wifes car of bird crap, getting tree sap off the garden chairs and cleaning up my sons outdoor toys.

I have seen them as cheaply as..

Which I suspect might be rubbish.

A bit more cash buys something like..

Or

My old one had a feature whereby it would make the jet of water rotate,(sounds odd but it is true) this would greatly aid the cleaning process. I'd really like something like that. I'd also like something I might be able to get spares for.

I've managed to confuse myself! As I mentioned in the title I only want to spend £100.

Anyone any tips, or recommendations?

Karcher would be my choice, for around a £100. Brought mine about 3 years ago and it's still going like a Trojan!

Autoexpress best buy was Kärcher's K4.99M, about 130 quid
Which best buy was Karcher K110 about 70 quid

If you are ever near Banbury in Oxfordshire, Karcher have a factory outlet. I got my £130 in the shops Karcher jobbie for £55. Generally the units have been used once or twice, but mine has been going for a few years now with no problems. The rotating jet feature you mention is achieved by an additional nozzle available as an accessory.
