Default Decent pressure washer?

I want a half decent pressure washer for the weekly car wash and the odd cleaning your flags PVC etc

Looked at allsorts but but dont want to spend loads budget is £150 max and that will include a HD foam lance

was looking at this Nilfisk ALTO C110.3-5 X-tra Domestic Cold Water Pressure Washer - Machine Mart is it any good and will a HD lance fit it?

Or any other recommendations? I hear good and bad storys about karcher so unsure on them

I know
Kranzle is the dogs but im not paying £400+ for something that is worth more then my shed

No problem with the HD lance connection, as we do a nice brass connector that fits like a dream to all Alto units. However, I can't comment on the unit itself, as I've not used any in the Nilfisk range.

No current deals I'm afraid, only the usual 5% off if you spend over £100 in one go, plus a handful of sale items throughout the store. Meguairs Hyper Wash (which is the only foam we recommend) is sadly too expensive to give away compared to many other bulk foam products. C'est la vie.
