I don't have one, but a lot of people say the cheap £20-30 ones at Halfrauds are just as reliable, and when they break you buy a new one for the price of Karcher spare parts.

How much do you want to spend? I bought the 4.99 and i dont like it. The hose is too stiff and never really unravels to its full length, the foam lance doesnt fit properly and its not that powerfull. Im going to be getting a kranzle very soon.

I have a K2.94 that I've had for ages and used 3 times!
It's good, has a brush, detergent tank, variable pressure wand, super pressure wand etc. and ideal for washing car/jetwashing patio. We're moving next month and no outside tap
PM me a sensible offer if you're interested, I'm in Worcestershire where you can see it working if you collect - £15p&p otherwise....
This is the only link I can find to it!

Just bought myself a Karcher 399, got it from
halfords for £99.99. Think they are being replaced with the
the 386 (i think) and the only difference I can see is that the 386
has an incorporated detergent bottle as apposed to the little extendable
hose that the 399 has. Halfords are selling the 386 for £159ish. Went for mine due to the reasonable sized motor and litres/min. If you're going down
the snow foam/hyperwash/foam lance route - like I did, try and get a washer with as high a lt/min rate as you can afford, think it makes a difference when it comes to foam delivery

whats a lot less as ive been looking at this over the last few days to replace my 4.99 for similar reasons to above. But I must say it has been a great servant since 2003 and is still going strong. Just hate the fact that there is no real cable holder/wrap and as mentioned the hose is too stiff and all over the place

Seemingly not: Makita Cold Water Power Washers - Power Washers - Lawson HIS - UK. Probably a re-branded no-name.
Can't vuoch for them, but the I usually buy the cheapest (but practical) washer there is. Seems most in the domestic sector seem vunerable to burning out motors and blowing seals so its a much of a muchness.
My old £60 Karcher is still going, but it does get drained in winter and fully primed before the power is switched-on (probably what kills most). The hose blew last year, new genuine hose costs £45....thankfully B&Q do a universal hose and lance that did teh job for £20 (and it was longer).

PS, I went down the £25 special route, utter crap and a waste of time, I could spit more water through a bendy straw
