A good pressure washer? - SV650.org

14-08-12, 08:44 PM

My Karcher packed up this morning while cleaning the patio up. Rather spectacular with smoke and horrid noises

I'm now looking for a replacement for under £100 (ideally more like £60 - £70 as I need a new rear tyre and C+S set this month

). it will need to do a large patio once a year, a very muddy Landrover a couple of times a year, and a quick wash down of the sv over the winter every week or so.
Any suggestions?

Machine Mart - got a decent one for that money - better than £100 Karcher i had before that.

The Clarke one looks like a good one but a bit too much at the moment, great if a vat free offer comes up very soon though.
JW- will the hose stretch from Manchester?
Mav- I'll tell her you said that, you'll get a lovely welcome next time you up

We've got a Bosch at work, its took big abuse when I first used it (ran hard for about 2 hours), they come up cheaper than this for the kit.

Cheers Andrew, I'll have a look for a best price on that one.
Any thoughts on any of these;

The first one I've found cheaper on line at about £60 delivered but know nothing of the brand, and I'm a little weary of the RAC one just because RAC arent a well known maker of stuff.

If you want a cheapo one look at a Nilfisk, better than karcher and you can get refurbs off Ebay with warranty for around £50-70. Mine came with a little patio washer attachment, i was shocked how good it was!

I've got a Bosch one, I find it better than karcher one I've had before, good thing about karcher is the accessories are more available.

I had a Clarke one years ago and that blew up too.
