I am looking at buying a pressure washer I have seen 3 on e bay any thoughts on them 120531646983 or 360206848625 or 380208419829 I need 1 for paths & walls.
-
just looked at the first one, its listed as 2200 psi, described as 2500 psi and says on the handle 2900 psi, !!!!!!!!!!!
NEXT!

do you think you can buy a professional machine for £175 ::)
they are all crap, if you are just doing your own drive once a year then they just might do the job but if you are going to offer a cleaning service to your customers then either spend over a grand (if buying new) or don't bother
13hp, 15lts/min & 3500psi any lower and it won't do the job.
-
second one has no mention of heat, and the third one, ive got more psi in my ahem. my er er er tap at home. ;D
theres some good setups for sale in the for sale section on here
-
Derek they are all cold pressure washers why would any of them mention heat?

As I only need this for my own garden & the odd job I do not went to spend too much.

then they are fine but why not buy an electric machine.... much more relaible

Best make & type?

Way before we got into pressure washing I owned a Karcher. I had it well over 10 years and it's still working great and looking like new. I know because I gave it to my brother last year.
For own use these are fine. Even a small patio will take what seems like forever but they will do a reasonable job. Be sure to include Karchers own 'dirtbuster' lance. This is a turbo nozzle and will noticeably speed things up for you.

I bought a £200 petrol pw last year for cleaning my cars, dog kennel and paving.... One year on....? It's knackered ::)

Whilst on the karacher diy subject a freind has asked me about the T RACER 300 at £50
wil it do the job. Not a whirlaway standard i know but thought i would ask?l

On paper the Nilfisk appears the better machine.
I've never used Nilfisk though so can't comment on quality / reliability.
If you opt for the Nilfisk then add a suitable turbo nozzle and you'll be OK for DIY.
If you intend to do any paid work for anyone though I would say don't waste your money.

Exactly...I always think its better to spend a bit more for something reliable, for domestic or business use.
