    I have a Karcher, and would not recommend them. The plastic is flimsy and bits break.

    If I was looking for another pressure washer I would find out about other brands, and look at reviews.

    It says the K4 full control has a 6m hose. I can't see a difference either (but then I'm not buying it so I'm not going to read everything). I don't see the point of "full control", if you want less power you just hold it further away.
    I've had my basic Karcher & patio cleaner for years & it's been great.

    Edit: Built in hose reel (wow) & 2 more years guarantee.

    There are at least 4 different Full Control models
    1. Full Control
    2. Full Control Home
    3. Full Control Premium
    4. Full Control Car and Home

    I am totally confused and because of that will look at Nilfisk instead

    Anyone got a Nilfisk washer ..... ?

    Yes me...............
    Bought this one a couple of months ago to replace an ancient 30 year old pressure washer.
    Like you I got a bit bamboozled with all the different models !!

    Excellent price & seems an excellent piece of equipment.
    Karcher seems very popular but are a bit overpriced in my opinion.

    I was thinking of the next one up - the C130 - Any advice from anyone welcome ...
  • I have nilfisk not sure model and it's great screwfix sell them as does machine mart agree patio thingy is not as easy as it looks to use I would definitely get one with a long hose or as I did buy the extension if I was buying again get the one with the highest power u can afford the d 10 ar screwfix for £199 looks good

    I bought the k2, but I need a longer pressure hose. Anyone any idea where I can get one/buy an extension?

    PS the prices shift around all the time. When I bought mine, I checked out prices and got the cheapest - just a week later Argos ran a promotion that was a full 40 quid cheaper. Ouch.

    Am I correct in thinking that the feed hose to ANY pressure washer must be a "solid" one - not a "flat" one ?

    If I go for a Karcher - this appears to be a good buy
