Karcher Pressure Washers @ Homebase

I was in Lidl yesterday & they're flogging a Lavor Superwash 160 for just £79.99. Apparently, this had an RRP of £299.99. Hard to prove this as a legitimate UK RRP (its an Italian make - & nobody else here seems to sell it), but someone is flogging them on ebay for about £125-£130+£20p&p.....

I've tried to find a similar spec'ed Karcher (for price comparison) but Karcher don't do a domestic pressure washer as powerful as this Lavor (160 bar)!! The nearest spec I could find was one in Argos reduced from £299 to £199.

Here's the spec of the one I bought...
===================

Max pressure 160 Bar, 2550W and delivers 530 litres per hour, Max intake temp:40ºC

Comes complete with:

• Large rotating brush

• Spray lance with pressure setting

• Turbo lance

• Spray gun with pressure display on gauge

• Water filter

• Quick release water inlet connector

• 500ml detergent

• High pressure 10m hose with professional hose reel

• Storage system for accessories

• Automatic Stop System


==================================

Just eighty quid for a 160 bar, 2.55Kw pressure washer (inc lots of tools) PLUS a 3 year guarantee .....you can't go wrong! :j

PS It's yellow & looks just like a Karcher!
PPS I also bought the dedicated Lavor patio/deck cleaner which was about £20.

Just my regular car and dirt from the motorway. As I said, the pressure washer makes the car nice and clean when it's wet but 10 mins later it's filthy as it seems not to remove the fine "traffic film" type of dirt

That's because tap water has impurities in it, and when it dries it leaves these impurities behind in the form of deposits. That's why you need to chamois the car down afterwards. If on the other hand you were to blast it with a supply of pure/distilled water, it would be sparkling without any further treatment.
