I wanna pressure washer

frogeyesimon

Looking for a new pressure washer with plenty of oomph that isn't going to pack up after 1 year.

The Makita HW130 - http://www.lawson-his.co.uk/scripts/products.php?cat=Makita%20Cold%20Water%20Power%20Washers looked good to me - high flow rate good make etc. Anyone got one of these or can suggest something similar for the same sort of money ?

Your advice is appreciated

Add to the above - has anyone got a patio cleaner attachment for their pressure washer - I know Karcher and Makita do them - are they any good ?

My advice is to have a look in your local Focus Diy store. I dont know if you are aware but they are going into liquidation and they may have slashed the price of the pressure washers there

I have had a Kew Proffesional for over 10 years and its still going strong after lots of use .

The nearest current model I can find is this

Not cheap but a great tool .

After some deliberation, I got one of these:-

My local store (Farnborough) had it on special offer £120 - look at the spec - hard to match at that price and it comes with a 3 year warranty. My last pressure washer was a Wickes model which worked well for 8 years or so.

Where can I get a Kew Hobby serviced or checked over in Gwent / Glos / Bristol?.

Got mine a few months back from B&Q - £7.99 (yes that's a seven) I think they were on a very special offer so i bought 4 of them, 2 spare and one for my dad - really good, does the job!

May be some left near you?
