In the market for a decent pressure washer, just borrowed a Kate's yellow Karcher which was a bit of a let down but it is a few years old, so does anybody have an idea what I could get for a reasonable price which would do patio's, cars and general stuff around the garden.

Thanks
Alan

hi alan can't go past a decent karcher,with the power lance on it will shift anything,dont know if qvc still have there offer on the karcher kits as they were excellent value,and if you dont like it after 30 days you can simply send it back for a full refund no questions asked good luck

+1 on what K has said ... my Karcher ... smallish one ... is plenty good enough for the patio, driveway and even the Gtr at a distance. Take a look at B+Q if you have a local one as I believe they will price match.

I have always used a power washer on the bike for years, no problem at all provided you are sensible with it. I wouldnt be without it gets into the places where a nornal hose will not, cleans the grimne out of the wheels brilliantly. Try and get a foamer attachment if you can these are worth their weight in gold.
get a grip and deal with it

Ive just bought one from the tv, it came in a few days too. It came with all the toys and has a suction accessory so you dont need
to couple to a tap, its good but dont letit run dry cos then its a faf repriming it, £180.00 new. BARGAIN.   :banana:

Skill, how the hell does a pressure washer work without the need to be coupled to a tap, I'm baffled    :wacko:

I don't, I prefer the olde bucket and sponge method, and MucOff, plus a hose pipe to wash down

Well, instead of a tap you have to fill a barrel/bucket or but, the karcher has a suction pipe and draws the water from that. Its handy if your a distance from a tap but you still need electricary.
    Extension cables easier than a hose to run out and put back but you still have to keep the water but with enough water, if airs drawn
into the pipe you have to prime it. I suppose its a good idea in some ways.
