After 2 failed Karcher jet Washers rage (K4 and K5) I am looking to convert to Nilfisk as per recommendations here. Looking for advice on what model to go for. Happy to spend up to around £300. Use is for car washing (snow foam etc), Bike washing (so need to be able to wind the pressure down) and general household stuff including patio. Would also like recommendations for adaptors to convert snow foam guns etc. Thanks

I've just bought a C125 to replace an ageing and leaking Karcher, it is definitely quieter in operation.

I also bought a 15m hose from eBay as I hatemadmoving the pressure washer around during use, whether that is washing cars or patio/decking!

I bought a C135 last year and it's been brilliant so far. Plenty of power and I have also got a 15m hose so I can walk around the car without having to move the unit.

Nilfisk have an outlet as well, so might be worth looking out for a bargain.


That said, I'm quite tempted by this new lot on the scene (AVA) https://avastore.co.uk/ - as they have a 20 year warratny!

Yes i was looking at those but I have not heard anything about them and a 20 year warranty is only any good if the company still exists!

BAck to the Nilfisks. Do they have variable pressure?

Ive been looking at the Nilfisk P-180 seems pretty good but unsure of connections for snow foam gun, on offer at Costco for £399 inc patio cleaner attachment.

Currently have a Karcher K5 premium which has been good for the last 4 years but could do with a new hose.

Not really sure to replace the hose or just buy the Nilfisk?
