Hi All

Been looking at jet washers, I'll probably go for a Karcher but don't want to buy something that is not man enough for want I want, any advise welcome!

Needs:
Want to be able to blast the car, snow foam etc and also be able to clean stone patios etc.

Been looking at the Karcher K2.36M, 110 bar and 1400 watt but unsure as there is a big step in £'s to the next model up and only real difference I can see is another 100watts on the motor.

Thanks

I think your right getting a Karcher, Make sure the one your getting comes with the snow lance or you will be paying out for one later. I bet the old saying buy cheap buy twice comes into this

Cheers guys for the quick replys, this is the one I was thinking of:

New Karcher Pressure Washer K2.36M 110Bar High Pressure on eBay (end time 25-Apr-10 11:54:35 BST)

Comes with a gun and 2 lances, one of which is a low pressure detergent gun, would this be ok for the snowfoam or do I need something different.

Thanks

Was just looking at jet washers and Karcher had some really bad reviews from owners re them being very fragile and the Karcher warranty being rubbish,so tis put me off.
Was thinking about a hoselock 100 or 130.
Anybody used either-only for light car/patio use???

Nilfisk better than Karcher and cheaper best place to get em is screwfix. C120 is the most popular bout £90.

Karchers are rubbish, buy a Nilfisk or even better a petrol one. I've burnt out 4 powerwashers in the last 2 years so I've invested in a petrol one.

Nilfisk are the best electric ones.

Ok, decided on a Karcher and picked it up at the weekend from Tesco £200 down to £100, seemed like a bargain, and I have to say it was. For £100 I was not expecting anything too powerful but must say I was surprised, have only used it in the garden so far but its excellent, the patio accesory is amazing, for the last 2 summers I have scrubbed with a stiff broom, an hour on it with the jet wash and it has come up like new, I never thought it would ever come up that good.

Now have the cleaning bug and its front of house next followed followed by calipers, engine bay and underside of car!!!!

If anyone is in the market for one I can highly recommend the K'archer 2.56, don't think its a UK model (Candian) but guarantee will be with Tesco and for £100 you cannot go wrong, I was going to hire one for the day but local hire store wanted £70!!
