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.

[derek west]

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.

[derek west]

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.

theres  some good setups for sale in the for sale section on here

[Mike Halliday]

Derek they are all cold pressure washers why would any of them mention heat?

these machine are too professional pressure washing what Wonderfoam is to carpet cleaning

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

[Mike Halliday]

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

[carpetmas5]

Best make & type?

[Griffus]

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 :

[Steve. Taylor]

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

Anybody rate Nilfisk?
Seems a good package.
Guess who just got his new Machine Mart catalogue?

or Karcher

[Griffus]

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.
