Which Pressure washer

[stuartb]

Hmmm, annual service on my old Aldi petrol washer, so far it has given me 7 years of great service.

Drained engine and pump oil into the same container, the pump oil was badly emulsified ! Hoping it was just condensation (yea right), I washed my car the other night and found the pump to be struggling.

Had to wait till the pressure built up before I snow foamed, this lasted a few seconds till the pressure collapsed and I'd need to wait a few secs more till the pressure built up and so on, I reckon the pumps shot.

So the question is what pressure washer is everyone running ?... I have good quality hoses, guns and connectors (all M22) so don't want to bin everything and start over.

I'm leaning toward a Hyundai, don't want to blow more than 400 quid, buying direct gives me a 3 year warranty.

Happy to hear any reccomendations..


Cheerz..

Do you get a lot of use out of it? Mine is generally just garden, patio etc so buy 2nd hand then bin and replace every 3-4 years lol

Not in the league you're talking about but I have always used Nilfisk. Ali pump on an electric powered pressure washer seems to be rare.

Having said that I am disappointed in my current one.

^i paid ?2xx not this inflated price

The plastic body is weak. The lance holder snapped almost the first use. It also seems a bit weak when using snow foam, can't deal with it being too thick. Swear my old one wasn't as bad (should get it back from my sister).

That's weird that the attachment never worked.. was desperate to show the Alcohokics on here how close I am to heaven.

Just found these.. that's Jimmy Macs pressure washer, I borrowed it from him when he was at the TT.

It's not until you wash a part of the wall do you realise how bad that Angels Share is...

Need to redo it this year [emoji25]

Are the petrol ones ok on car and bike....Not to powerful or can you adjust pressure?

I've never heard of 'Whisky Fungus' but just looked it up - looks quite a seroius mess and worth investment in good pressure washer.

Just keep away from the electonics/dash.

There's an American firm of solicitors dealing with a class action in the states and here in the UK. It's a blight, but an acceptable one strangely, no one really seems super bothered about it, its part of our heritage.

Makes not a jot difference when selling either, I've never had a client not buy nor a vendor being troubled with the invevatble comments on a Home Report (mandatory survey) which a vendor must have prior to marketing their home.

They are very good

20 year warranty, wow! Thought it must be a Kia or something when I first seen that.

 

[Steve940]

You register machine then every 5 year you buy a service kit (?40ish) and service yourself...do this continuously to extend warranty..
Has quality proper follow me hose,comes with a brilliant stubby gun and extendable lance...loads of pressure for a plug in...plenty of YouTube videos online..ps I'm absolutely not affiliated with them if it sounds that way lol

 

[stuartb]

Looks a good deal.. I've not had a chance to order anything as of yet, been snowed under at work..
