hi guys, on the hunt for a new pressure washer, just for cleaning my car really. i have a KEW pressure washer at the moment but its really old now and has packed in and died. so looking for a good bargain to replace it.

any advice on what to go for and where from? post a link or something.

i do have a snowfoam lance and has the KEW/Nilfisk adaptor but can always get a new adaptor if i was to buy a karcher or something.

Karcher are now in my opinion to be avoided. The build quality has seriously slipped over the last few years. Most of the brass components in them have now been replaced with either plastic or materials of lesser durability.

I recently got a Nilfisk C120 from Amazon to replace my old defunkt Karcher.

So far very impressed. And will be used for the details and Valets I do for BRCarDetailing

I have the same Nilfisk as Bodski and can't agree enough. It a really good bit of kit.

Karcher are absolute crap now. As a temporary measure I bought a cheap Sealey one to replace my broken Karcher & although not amazing the Sealey is loads better than the Karcher & has so far lasted longer.

Went to Karcher Online , factory refurbs and returns.I got a high spec one at near half the RRP , was brand new with 6month warrenty. Better spec than my old Karcher which lasted me about 10 years.

you need to ask why they have sooooooooooooooo many returns and refurbs if they are 100% reliable

I wouldn't have another kew washer given my blew up after replacing the lance so bought a karcher k4.600 with 3 year warranty. Fantastic piece of kit in my opinion.

another vote for nilfisk

I looked long and hard into this and after starting a few threads on detailing world came to the conclusion that unless you are spending £200+ they are all built poorly and designed to last no more than 3 years. I gave up and stuck to using a hose and 2 buckets.

If you must get one then Nilfisk did seem to come out better than any other brand.
