Since some are available quite cheap, I've decided to buy a Karcher pressure washer & Autobrite foam lance. I only really need the pressure washer for our 2 cars, and since we have to park on the street, it won't be getting too much use. I'd like it to be as small as possible, so it's easy to store and get out.

So will this pressure washer do:
Karcher K2.35
1600W, 100 bar max, 360 ltr/hour. £41 ebay.
eBay.co.uk: KARCHER PRESSURE WASHER K235D (item 170108163193 end time 05-May-07 21:41:41 BST)

or do I really need to spend more, on this one (as used my PB)
Karcher 3.70B
1700W, 120 bar, 380 ltr/hour. £83 cleanstore
CleanStore - - The Kärcher K3.70B Pressure Washer

I realise the first one will work, and I would like to make the cost saving, but if it's unlikely to last long, or produce significantly poorer results, maybe I should get the 3.7.

Finally, do I need the 1 litre bottle with the Autobrite lance, or will the 500ml bottle be enough (to wash one scoob)?

Thanks

 

i would go for the 1 litre bottle, wish i had, always just run out

 

Thanks - I can imagine that's annoying, so the 1 litre bottle it is. I've read all your posts on the autobrite, but don't know what karcher you have. Also, when spraying the foam onto the car, I don't know if you just leave the karcher on it's max setting (as the more pressure, the better), or if you turn it down.

 

no idea what karcher i ahve but it was very £££ one of there bigger home units....... will have a look what it says on it

off to wash my dads BMW ready for our day trip to BTCC
