I'm sure I read on here somewhere that pressure washers from Aldi were simply rebranded Karcher ones.

Anyone any idea if the ones from Lidl are the same?

They have a pressure washer and a patio cleaner on offer today

Any good?

I was thinking of getting it to connect to my Karcher too. I thought they were standard fittings. Post on here how you get on???

Fitting looks identical to my Karcher patio cleaner. In fact the cleaner looks like a Karcher TBH.

I bought one last year it fitted my karcher fine. They are very handy as well, much less mess.

Reading through this thread - it looks like the cleaner itself may or may not be a karcher....

Tesco's had a Karcher one with patio cleaner for £80 a few weeks ago but has gone up to £100 now for some reason

Don't be silly - you want the weeds to grow so you have an excuse to fire up your grown-up's water pistol.

One of the most fun toys I've ever bought. I don't think there is a thing left in our garden that hasn't been subject to my water wand of fury!

Well our local Lidl has sold out anyway.

So I couldn't even have a nosey at one.

Fits my Karcher perfectly and seems to work OK!

Only if the range on the flame is about 20ft, so that I can run around pretending to be Sigourney.

In my experience, weeds growing between the slabs of the patio have a disappointing reluctance to die simply from having their foliage incinerated. Satisfying as it is to torch them, the flamethrower weed-wand is now retired to barbecue lighting duty.

Thanks- Sadly they have sold out! Looks like I will just have to use my normal 'lance' and get very wet.
