    As above - I've just bought this one ( after asking for advice on this forum :) ), but most of them seem to be able to use a water butt / bucket :

    From reading reviews they seem to have quite a good reputation, though this will be my first one after several Karchers.

    I use a dreaded karcher k5.555 from my water butts I have spread around my garden, not quite sure what you mean only using a 2gallon bucket, if the water is being siphoned from the bucket, surely it's going to empty in less than 60 secs.
    I'm not a lover of Krap karchers, nilfisk have a good name, I also have one I bought from lidls sometime ago when the Krap karcher kept playing up from new, not used it to often , it's on standby, it keeps my water bill down at least £500 a year, cleaning paths, cars etc.
