I have a nilfisk pressure washer that is about finished, can't hold pressure without kicking in every few seconds, I used it yesterday and it wasn't even a second between pulsing, I think it was bought in about 2008/9 so its had a decent run, but its time for a new one.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Its only used for snow foaming so doesnt need to be a monster.

Im a big fan of Nilfisk. Weve got two. One started doing the same as yours a while ago. Will replace with the same as we used it a lot before it started playing up.

I think I'll stick with nilfisk, there seems to be a lot of choices and prices out there, just needs a reel for the hose and that will do.

Is it leaking from anywhere? I recently had a similar issue on my C120 (motor pulsing every few seconds when not in use) with a small leak from the trigger inlet - a new washer sorted it.

Nilfisks are (broadly) good quality, but Kranzle are superb. Whichever brand you go with, try to find a PW with all brass internals as they last much longer.

Kranzle.

Had mine about 8 years now.

Alot of abuse.

Mine is the k7. Weighs a fair bit.

Wouldnt get anything else unless you need hot water.

Whilst I "enjoy" the procedure of snowfoaming I'm not sure exactly what it's for! I do it and no the theory but it doesn't seem to make a bit of difference!

I started snow foaming when I bought a black X5, the snow foam helped me avoid spider webs/swirls in the paint so I've always kept it up, no black cars anymore but if it saves me from having a mega polish it's a good thing, plus it looks nice laugh
