Pressure washer

Hi All,

£89.99 for Karcha pressuer washer.RRp £215.99.

Anyone know if thats a rather good deal? I am after one because I have a rather large patio and drive and its looking a bit green at the moment.

    Yes that looks a good deal. Karcher are a good brand and spare parts are easily available if needed from stockists all over the country. The accessories e.g. dirtblaster can be expensive to buy separately but as many are included in that package, it seems very good value for money. I have had a smaller model for many years, still going strong.

    Been and got it.
    It says protect from frost. Does that mean I shouldn't keep it in my shed in the cold winter months? Or I am sounding particularly paranoid...

    I would say so.... My Mother in law has had 3 of these over 2 years from Makro and they always seem to be knackered when they try to use them after the winter. They keep them in thier garage. Its always the same problem, its as if the motor cut out constantly comes on... It gives a sort of pulsing effect rather than a constant stream. They eventually went for a JCB one.

    I had one but wasnt impressed with the power to be honest, alot on Ebay for £50 HERE


    I picked up a refurbished PowerCraft (made by Karcher) for £35 with all the bits like the Robert Dyas one and its 150bar and the difference is very noticable the Tracer is alot better as its adjustable , ii got it from the above Ebay seller if you are local you can pickup and save on the delivery charge :j
