Best pressure washer

[anonymous-user]

My Karcher K2 has decided to stop with no pressure. I would presume it would be a waste of money trying to fix it after 3-4 years.

If not has anyone got suggestions for a new one?

Autoexpress has its top models in the article below.

Is Karcher still worth buying or has the other opposition moved ahead? Karcher K4 Full Control Pressure Washer seems to get good reviews.

Thank you in advance.

I'm on my 3rd Karcher which has just died too. This one has lasted about 10 years and had plenty of frequent use so I'd happily replace with another.
The earlier one's didn't last very long 3-4 years but they seem to have improved judging by my last one.

Thank you for your response. 10 years is very impressive. Did you get it serviced at all during that time?

Screw fix has the Katcher K4 for £159.99 on offer.

If you want to stick with electric, this gets my vote.

Karcher have an online out let shop.

Basically customer returns that are refurbished and look like new.

Aldi and Lidl sometimes have washer on offer too.

I seem to remember Nilfisk having good reviews too

Can recommend one of these, similar to a K2 for cost/use. I only use it for the car but has been great so far.

Nilfisk is the PH massives weapon of choice...

I'm currently going through a Nilfisk phase, having broken one and bought another. Not near my Karcher phase yet, I've seen off four of those.

I've had two Nilfisk. Seem to be much better value than the Karcher, and the cheaper models are still made with decent quality innards, unlike some of the competition.

Kranzle have a good reputation, pump, etc is made of brass so will last, they are expensive but you get what you pay for.

Opposite experience for me, I had an old Karcher K200 which survived 16 or 17 years before I replaced it with a Nilfisk last year. Whereas a few mates have had issues with their Karchers bought over the past few years.

My battered and neglected old Karcher was getting a bit noisy, but still worked, and has been passed on to relatives for occasional patio cleaning duty.

Quite pleased with the new Nilfisk machine though. Think it's a C135, cost about £150 with patio cleaner and various other gubbins included.

I got this one from Argos:
Nilfisk Titan 120 Pressure Washer - 1400Wby Nilfisk
157/7941
£100

Seems to have all the bits and works well, 3 year guarantee too.

I’ve no experience of Karcher so cannot offer a comparison.

Nilfisk seems to be getting good feedback in here which is good to hear.

Some of the more expensive machines look amazing and I bet you do get what you pay for but £200 would be my limit.

Appreciate all the tips so far

I have one and it's a pain in the a&rse to carry and the cable and hose get in the way. Might last on long time but will also irritate for a long time too.

No, don't believe in servicing these things. Only serviced my mower three time since 1993, it's a Honda and still running strong on original everything apart from blades. When it goes bang I have a few hundred quid to put towards it that I would have paid out for servicing it.

Cheers mate.

Will just be getting a new one. As you say a different story with the mower.
