Decent pressure washer for car and patio

[Honestherbert]

Can anyone recommend a decent pressure washer for general use including cleaning the car and patio? I have had pretty poor experiences with Karcher in the past as they either fail or the patio attatchment didnt seem to ever really work properly, currently have a 2200 titan one from screwfix which I bought as a cheap stopgap after 2 karchers but its never been that great. Are the amazon ones any good? there seem to be clone karcher style patio attatchments for doing the patio but no idea on which is best, Im not wanting to spend a firtune but would happily pay more for something that will last.

cheers

I used Karcher for years, and in my opinion the quality steadily declined with more and more plastic components being introduced. I moved to Nilfisk (Premium 200 pressure washer, and Buddy vaccum) about 5yrs ago and what a difference in build quality, all I’ve had to do is replace a couple of small washers on the lance.

The patio cleaning attachment for the Nilfisk is a revelation.

Nilfisk, worth a look !

I bought one of these a few months ago, a fantastic piece of kit especially when coupled with the swivel pistol trigger.

I looked at loads of options and have ended up buying another Karcher albeit I’ve previously had the small Karchers, K2’s and a K3. I’ve gone for a K5 This time which seems a fair bit more substantial and is water cooled as opposed to air cooled.

I bought it from Karcher Outlet which I’ve used before and it came quickly, the downside was the carry handle was broken on arrival but I emailed them and the sent me a replacement handle out same day which I was happy with.

Replaced my karcher with an Ava and haven't looked back since.

They should pay me commission the amount of times I've recommended them!

Another recommendation for Ava of Norway. Evolution range is really good plus a 20yr guarantee if you service it every 5yr.
