Yes as long as you get the karcher fitting.

[Riley!]

type a search for karcher 3.86 in ebay and is a better one for 130 inc delivery. Make sure you put in the decimal point in your search or it wont work. Got one myself other week

 

[clio_greg]

You want a flow rate of at least 360L/hour ideally.

just a thought it wight be worth going for the 3 series karcher over the 2 series as you cant get replacement internals for the 2 series

np mate glad to help...tell us how u get on..:approve:

The only thing with the K2.21 is it doesn't have the vario lance so you can change the pressure. They cost £30 ish IIRC. Worth trying to find one with that on, as you don't want to be using full pressure all the time or you'll take your paint / stickers off!

 

[clio_greg]

ahhhh. anyone recommend one then ? ideally below 100quid ?

 

[Riley!]

as said already the k3.86 i got of ebay came with one. But its £130 worth every extra penny though

 

[richy22]

I picked this up yesterday

http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.205-9151.aspx

Had a play with the new lance that came today as well awesome

 

[JamesBryan]

I got a Karcher 2.91 from Halfords about 2 months ago for £95 i think it was, comes with the vario lance too. Would be worth having a look for one of them.

got a karhcer k2.21 few months back, also got a 3 year warranty so if it f**ks up i get a brand new one ( £85 all in from argos i think it was ). been a good bit of kit tho and produces loads of foam when used with a foam lance. if i need less pressure i take a few steps back, works well for me

 

[RichCup]

The one richy22 posted is perfect

 

[RussZS]

You'll be lucky to get 9 months out of the cheap Karchers - I've got through 3 in two years.

I'd look at a Nilfisk:

Or whatever your budget can stretch to. You then need the Alto connector from CYC
