Pressure washer - any deals/opinions please!

Hi - well, the pressure washer's just gone bang, and as I have some Tesco clubcard vouchers just screaming to be used, I've had a look at what Mr T has. I can't really justify spending loads (around the £50 mark max) - it'll be used occasionally (the last one was a cheapy Aldi one and did just fine for a few years!). So, I've spotted these:
http://www.tesco.com/direct/aa-pressure-washer-hpw110/213-4271.prd?skuId=213-4271&pageLevel=
http://www.tesco.com/direct/karcher-k214-pressure-washer/212-9904.prd?skuId=212-9904&pageLevel=

Has anyone got any advice? Or has anyone spotted any really good bargains?

Thanks :)

    We have a karcher one, (not that one tho) and has been good. I personally always check the reviews and often nip onto amazon and check their reviews too.

    We also have a Karcher K4.6 pressure washer that does all that is asked of it. Ours cost over £200 new. So at the end of the day it is best to buy the p'washer that suits the work required of it. If you only have a small area to cover then one suitably priced should work. Refurbished p'washers are on the market and worth looking at, also as suggested, reviews are great to read about other peoples experiences.

    Thanks - I did check the reviews for this particular karcher, but they're not glowing. I can only find one review for the AA one though (semi positive) - maybe it's new to the market?

    Thanks nick j - that's why the vouchers were screaming to be spent :D

    I've doubled up the c/card vouchers and ordered the AA one - bit of a gamble perhaps (on an unknown quantity), but with the weather about to change (hopefully!) it'll certainly get a good testing over the next few days :) And certainly less of a gamble when I've only actually parted with £25 vouchers and £3.10 cash :J

    But thank you all for your input - it's much appreciated. :A
