Just seen a new machine. Its a pressure washer mounted on top of a flat surface cleaner.Won't noise and fumes be a big problem?

I don't think you will feed it off a hose pipe...they seem to think you will.

I can see the appeal however you will be breathing in fumes all the time you are using it. At least with a standard to can tuck it away from your working area.

I think I know what you mean. I saw a gardener/landscaper type guy using one round my way not long before Xmas.

I'm guessing the engine and pump are only small though because I saw a guy at around 4 o'clock time and he had only just finished cleaning about 100m2 of block paving as the sun was setting. Although I have no idea what time he started, may not have been til late

I don't know how he set up, ie direct hosepipe feed or tank, I should have pulled over and said hello.

There you go you can now spend all day 3 ft away from your beloved Honda ! The pumps will be pluck'd very quickly unless you run a tank with a boost pump to feed the washer as it's rare to find 15 ltrs at the end of a hose

That Hurricane combi P4 looks ok but they must be having a laugh as list price quoted is £2399

Think I would soon get peed off pushing it about and loading/unloading in to the back of me van on my own too.

Indeed as no way is that going to be able to run at 15lpm like they say just from a tap.

It will have a market as they say to the hirers, marinas etc. Your head would be lifting using that in such close proximity.
There again I suppose its the same a using a petrol lawnmower.

The max length of the feed hose it can work from is not that impressive either but like you say some ppl will hire them and they even might sell a few.

When I clean pontoons I use salt water which you would struggle to do with this. Can I come and watch when they try to do a drive on a slope. I think its a carp idea - it's probably going to be front page on smart deal or bettaware
