Default Pressure washers?

Hi all.

For some unknown reason my Karcher has completely died after being returned by the neighbour. No apparent damage, just won't turn on at all.

Anyhow, that aside, I need to buy a new one.

Seeing as it's the time of sales, can anyone recommend a new budget pressure washer, price, and where to get one?

P.s. No, I won't ask the neighbour to buy a new one, before anyone asks.

Thanks

Karcher are over rated these days - the internals are mainly plastic and you are lucky to get 12months light use out of them

For similar priced pressure washers look at Nilfisk, far better quality and stand the test of time

Cheers

could go with a b&q one, they offer a very good returns policy and if anything packs up you can just get a new one, or full refund (irrc there performance brand come with 2 or 3 year warrenty) and because they dont have the facility to test on site, they just replace or refund 9 times out of 10.
