Nilfisk Premium 200 Pressure Washer
Discussion
Anyone got one?
I plan to buy one of these to replace my Karcher, specs suggest it will be a bit of a beast. Will be for car use and driveway/patio cleaning.
I'll be getting he patio attachment, but ditching the foam bottle to replace with a better one, and will be replacing the gun with a stubby gun

You can get adapters to join almost any accessory to or from any colour pressure washer you prefer..
I'll probably be ordering a stubby gun & foam bottle from ADCR Detailing who sell them already equipped with the required connections (Nilfisk in this case)https://adcrdetailing.co.uk
Seeing you're prepared to spend a decent wedge, there's some special offers which you seldom find on Kranzle washers at the moment.
The 1152TST linked here is very good value at that price, i've had one for years now, also used it for drain jetting and drive cleaning (using the special shielded attachment at additional cost which make short work of large areas and keeps overspray under control), expensive but worth the cost in the long run, you'll never need another...just remember to change the oil every now and again.

As far as I can see the P200 is a tweaked P150-2, same pump, same flow rate but increased pressure possibly via a different nozzle.
I've had a P150-2 for the best part of 10 years now, its been thrashed something stupid, cleaning cars, vans, patios & car parks & performs just as well as the day it arrived, no repairs or parts have been required. The only issue that I've had with the P150-2 is that the winding handle come away from the hose drum pretty easily, but the P200 has a revised handle.

Good to hear, thank you.

Everyone seems to be selling the P200 at a similar price, may as well buy direct from Nilfisk I suppose.
I've also had a P150.2 for just over 10 years, has also been abused, I had to buy a new gun for it a few years back when it started leaking (probably after being dropped once too often), I'd replace it with the same thing again if it broke, the handle for the hose reel on mine has also broken but it's not the end of the world to wind it in without it, the machine itself works brilliantly.
I've had one for a good few years, having "upgraded" from karcher.
Probably an unpopular opinion on here but I prefer the yellow machine over the blue one.
Nilfisk chucks out a lot more water rather than air as compared with the karcher, which make it behave more like a hose than an air line. You will be dealing with floods in use.
The patio cleaner tornado nozzle gives good results for paving, but you will end up plastered head to toe in gunk if you use it for a whole patio. The actual patio cleaning attachment is b
ks, does not work effectively.
I had to replace the tornado nozzle attachment after it stopped working, so bought a spare. I found it's possible to disassemble the original for cleaning (it doesn't look like it's serviceable, but is, you can unscrew it to get to the innards). in my case it was a small plastic piece that had worn down.
People talk about the metal pump in a nilflsk being better than the plastic one in a Karcher. From my experience all it means in use is that the thing is much heavier, a feature you could emulate by just carrying around bricks. I don't keep mine outdoors to be fair to those who are worried about water freezing up inside the pump.
If you're near bedfordshire I'd happily swap mine for a newish karcher at your expense.

P200 arrived today, feels a really premium product
Only minor gripe is the hose release handle, it sticks out a little and I wish it folded in so it doesn't get caught on anything when wheeling the machine about. Otherwise its brill
The Deluxe+ stubby trigger gun from ADCR Detailing is particularly good, glad I bought it.
Now need some dry days to wash the car

I have the 180 model and it's great, been very reliable other than the real handle breaking, but just wind it up manually. Do you have a link to the trigger gun? Been looking for one.

I plan to buy one of these to replace my Karcher, specs suggest it will be a bit of a beast. Will be for car use and driveway/patio cleaning.
I'll be getting he patio attachment, but ditching the foam bottle to replace with a better one, and will be replacing the gun with a stubby gun
I have this, i love it, really solid pressure washer, fairly good noise wise to, i also have a stubby gun and foam gun i think i got from Tiktok shop in the end, both work really well, i had to get an adapter for the gun to fit.

My only complaint is the windy handle for the hose reel is absolutely sh't quality bendy which is a shame because the rest of the unit etc is excellent.

(I can share a 10% discount code if you choose to buy from them)
I bought their Deluxe+ stubby gun, plus 3 x premium nozzle set, and their V3 foam cannon.
Tried it all out today and the trigger gun is excellent quality with a real solid premium feel to it, It's quick fit and unlike some others, you dont need to pull any collars back when inserting a nozzle, or when attaching it to the hose, you just push straight on. Also when in use, the gun swivels freely whereas some cheaper guns don't swivel that well when under pressure.
