Pressure washers

[jamesd]

I'm after a new pressure washer for cleaning the truck mowers etc. But I've heard karcher are not as good anymore and there are other alternatives? Just wandering what sort of pressure washer to go for.

I've got a mid range stihl one no complaints with it.

Do you know which model you went for?

nilfisk, only 60 odd nicker if I remember right, fantastic bit of kit. used to a steam cleaner, but was well impressed with this.

Depends how much you want to spend

I have a nilfisk 150 bar 2.9 kw at home. Hose reel which means much easier to store. Lance has a quick fit connection. Heavy duty domestic. Done about 30 hours so far with no problems.

At work we have a couple of TX 100s. One is about 10 years old. No casing left. Runs for days on end. Total running time must be many months. Only problems a few filters new lance, new hose and 2x3 start capacitors. Indestructible but expensive. Not so easy to use from a kit storage point of view.

Honda petrol powerhose, big money but great for cleaning the machines and even jetting drains!

I also have a Nilfisk 150 bar pressure washer, a great machine and a lot better build quality than the previous karcher machines that I have had. There seems to be a big difference in cleaning power when you go from 120 -> 150 bar. 150 bar cleans patios a lot better than 120 bar.

Domestic Pressure Washers Cold Water

 

Stihl are now overpriced for what they are - Lavor and Nilfisk here are a good bet.

Cheers guys i reckon i'll go for a nilfisk haven't decided which model yet though. I suppose the higher the pressure the better?

Where did you guys get yours from the internet? I found this dealer here:

Compact Range (Click Here)

Anyone used them before?

I got a Maplin email this morning , they have the one with the hose reel on the handle for £129.99 and a few other cheaper ones.
