bought a nilfisk through screwfix the other day seems OK

ScoobyWon't

Amazon were doing the Nilfisk at a bargain price last week of £48, this week the same model but with additional patio cleaning set is £58.

Costco are beating amazon by miles on Karchers as of last week, not sure if offer still on

Dr.No

Cheap Nilfisk over cheap Karcher any day...

Look at flow rate and pressure when comparing cleaning power. The pressure is the "speed" of the water, the "flow rate" is the volume of water travelling at that speed.

Ideally you want high flow rate AND high pressure. High pressure alone is pretty useless if the flow rate is minimal.

Cleanstore do some good deals and free delivery: http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products...essure-Washers

I have just ordered a refurbished Karcher K4.600 for £129 from here: http://www.karcheroutlet.co.uk/produ...essure-Washers

i think there sold out now..

Got seriously bored reading all the pros and cons of both models

From all I read it turns out that the great world of pressure washers is filled with unreliable machines that fail sooner rather than later in most cases. Occasionally you get lucky and one lasts a good few years....

Karcher working fine for me at the moment thanks

Okay thanks for the link, at first I thought no name must be crap and maybe still is ??!! but reading the spec / design it actually looks very good, especially impressed with the 3 year warranty which the big names dont come with !!

I think I'd probably go for Nilkfisk for the small home washer.

I used to repair and service pressure washers and have been waiting for an old steamer to come up on ebay. Watching this at the moment.

They look complicated but really aren't.

Are Karcher attachments compatible with Nilfisk? I ask as I've just thrown my third Karcher in five years into the skip but have lots of attachments for them.

Cheers

Ian

Dr.No

No Ian, they're not - BUT you can buy Nilfisk/Karcher adaptors... eBay will be your friend!

Dr.No

You'd be looking at this (E130 package @ £189):

http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products...ct.asp?ID=7464

or this (E140 package @ £257):

http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products...ct.asp?ID=1003

or, for the semi-pro model, this (P150 package @ £333):

http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products...ct.asp?ID=5646

Once our hosepipe ban has been lifted I think I'm taking the plunge on a P150 - and will get an adaptor for all of my Karcher accessories.

Thanks DN..

What hose pipe ban? its beeen pissign down with rain..we cant have a hosepipe ban?

The one that Lidls are offering for £89.99 seems to be decent quality and the one I have just bought works well. Handy too because it is on wheels so is easy to move around the place.

The one in lidl looked good regards spec etc but from the little bit off research I done on it it would appear its not been without its faults over the years that it's been sold via lidl, pity as I see it uses the lavor type connector which would have been a straight fit for my ab snow foam gun.

Just been reading the many reviews on amazon for that £58 nilfisk one and must admitt it certainly seems to receive many glowing user reports, worth a read if anyone like myself is in the market for a new washer.

Leslie

Well I'll let you know if my Lidl's one gives trouble.

In the past I have always found Lidl's stuff to be of decent quality.

Okay les no probs mate, as I say it's a great price for a superb spec which I seriously considered especially with the three year warranty it comes with, a search via google revealed a good few users reporting the lance to split within the first year off using, may well be a design fault on the last lot that were being sold by lidl and have now been redesigned, anyway again any probs and you have the three year warranty anyway.

How do you find the power off the thing compared to others you may have used ?

IWatkins

Thank you kind Sir

Leslie

I found it to be at least as good as I remembered the Karcher I used to have to be. That was some time ago though.
