    Hi there - I've used pressure washers before and would like to buy one, when I searched for 'Karcher' on the Argos site though and fount this one:

    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7500022.htm

    which appears to be smaller in size, with the same pressure ratings and slightly cheaper at £59.99. Is this one better, or what should I be looking for?

    the second one doesn't have all the extras, which i'd say would be worth the tenner. thanks for the spot, my OH is looking for a decent power washer

    edit i just realised that the second one is actually more powerful (1600W rather than 1400) and puts out more water per hour so may be a better buy if you don't need the accessories

    Yeah the main thing seems to be the T'Racer thing - which seems pretty useful. Would the flow of 360 litres/hour for the second rather than 330 of the first make a noticeable difference for cleaning a drive / car / house windows?
  • You beat me to it Scrumshie, :D

    Just came on to post, as i have picked one up today.

    Yes there are more powerful ones, but the T'racer alone seems to cost between £40-50 if you search for it alone.

    We thought about buying the T'racer around Sept time but never got around to it, glad we didn't now. ;)

    Guess i know what we'll be doing at weekend :D

  • The patio cleaning brush thing is excellent, kept the dirt being sprayed around to a minimum. We have driveway for 4 cars and it easily cleaned the lot, and the car ( just 1 of those !) too.
    Did not have any problems with pressure for either task. We have had pressure washers before, but this is much better value.
    T- racer patio cleaner is £49.99 in new argos catalogue.

    I have just reserved one at Cramlington. It's quite easy to find out if any are in your area - just add to basket and click store collection and put in your town or post code and it will list all local stores and you can then check to see if they have any availability.........

    Why not try and put in a town or postcode you would be willing to travel to and try that?? Or somewhere near where relatives live and could collect for you,etc?
