    What pressure washer?

    Can anyone advise me what pressure washer to buy. I have a budget of around £200. My current Karcher pressure washer has given up the ghost.

    depends what you want it for, if its for car cleaning i wouldnt bother.. if you get a MX bike covered in mud at the weekends then Karcher cheapies seem to be pretty reliable

    TBH had the old Karcher about 8 years and its been faultless so might as well have another look at the new range they have.

    I picked up a Nilfisk Alto C110 (110bar, 440lph) for £40 from my local 'The Range' dunno if they're still doing that, but it does a decent job for the money.

    Re: What pressure washer?

    Yeah ive got a halfords one and its ok, but nowhere near as good as my old karscher one, so Ive just bought my dad a karscher one, so that I can borrow it off him instead of him borrowing my halfords one (he's fussy so will keep it topped up with cleaner etc that saves me doing it lmao )
