Hi folks :)

I'm new to this section of ciu...I'm looking to adding pressure washing drives/decking/patios to my already existing window cleaning business..
Will this Pressure washer be up to the job?

Your a brave man!

not many have made it from across the void !

Personally the flow rate is not enough for the more heavily soiled jobs you will come across,

I would contact Ben Marriott he's more than helpful, and very importantly knows his stuff

Initially looked good, but vat on top no info on what pump is being used and picture shows a battery bolted on yet it's a pull start  ???

I'm a long, long way from being an expert, but I would want lots more info before parting with my dosh

Darran has just said what I thought when clicked on the link.

Same situation for me mate six months ago, wanted to see if I could step onto this platform   ;D, looked high and low at every machine I could find and in the end I sent an email to Ben.

Bought a machine off him with over 100m high pressure hose and recently took a fsc off him, very nice guy mate you won't go wrong with him.

L👀k out for his posts his ☎️ is on there

The picture in his image is wrong thats a 16HP V-Twin - he's got it on an integral unloader so no bypass and the inlet is on an elbow... Nixon are notorious for buying whatever they can and cobbling together - there is no way he should be running direct drive on a 16HP engine. Which he wants £1450 plus vat for - its a cheap leisure battery mounted exposed to the water inlet and outlet? There is no way it is compliant Briggs would go bonkers if they saw that!

The 10HP will be a pull start no electric version on the 10HP we easily get 3000PSI on a 16LPM pump direct on the 10HP vanguard so again whatever pumps are in stock get used. Who among you would go for an Annovi pump when Interpump are available for less on a build - oh and the naff Galvanised trolleys and solid wheels  :)
Just my opinion :)

My opinion if it matters..... The add stinks, it's set out deceive the buyer.
