What Pressure Washer are you using?

Post by Ian_Mac »

What with the Santa not being too far away and being pestered for present ideas one thing I'm considering is a pressure washer to use with a Snow Foam gun.

I've only ever used my dad's Karcher washer when being back up north so don't really know if there's anything else out there worth considering.

Possibly Malcolm may come along and be able to shed some light on what's best Karcher wise but if anyone has any other suggestions then please shout up.

Thanks
:)

I've order the one on offer in the sponsors section at the moment.

I'll give it a whirl with the snow foam over christmas and let you know how it gets on.

Bit late for that, bought one from Malcom at the Karcher Centre (forum sponsors). I have to say the service was superb and as yet no problems at all with the machine.

I've recently bought a Karcher K2.335 T50 from Tesco (£99). I comes with a patio cleaning head, which I wanted, and 2 lances - an intense dirt buster lance and a lance with a fixed broader jet which I use for cleaning the car.
Overall its big enough for the job and you get a useful range of attachments for a reasonable price.
I've also bought a foam lance from Autobrite.
One comment - the 4 metre high pressure hose is a bit too short for reaching all round the car and I've just bought a 6 metre extension hose (£29)which should give me ample reach without having to keep moving the pressure washer from side to side of the car.
