Advice needed - pressure washer etc

[dan555clio]

Looking at buying a pressure washer and the adapter to use with the snow foam. Just looking for recommendations on which/what to buy?

Also, im new to the snow foam method etc, so which methods work the best?

Thanks in advance.

Right, don't piss about with a cheap Karcher, it will die within 6 months. Get a Nilfisk, ideally a C120, or a C100, depending on budget.

Foam Lance wise, they are pretty much all the same, so get one from CYC or I4D and support the Supporters on here! Snow Foam wise, the best one IMO is Bilt Hamber Autofoam, but lots of people use Megs Hyper Wash or Valet Pro pH Neutral, as they are more readily available

Nilfisk c120 is awesome. I picked mine up for £50 on eBay ( reconditioned) it's really powerful and is very well made.

Nilfisk ftw

Obviously there's different 'barr' pressures on all the pressure washers, but what's the highest you think is best to go? We have a pressure washer at home but right at this moment I'm unsure of what pressure it is.

My Karcher 2.54 has been going strong for 12 months..it hardly gets used though. Im waiting for it to break! Only £50 I paid though so cant say il be too bothered if it does break down

Nilfisk ftw

What type of connection are the Nilfisks, for attachments?

Nilfisk mate. It's got it's own. Just like karacher has

 

[Gaz.]

Oh, CYC's foam lance doesn't list Nilfisk.

 

[The Boosh!]

Its out of date then fella. Look on I4D as that is where I got my nilfisk attatchment from for the snow foam... Its simular to the lavor one but smaller.

 

[Gaz.]

Cheers Luke. Think I'll invest next month.

 

[The Boosh!]

Well worth it mate. There is a guy on Ebay that sells reconditioned ones cheap. Mine came and it looked brand new. Box & Everything.

Looks like KEW/Alto on that picture could be the one, as I4D lists KEW/Nilfisk-Alto.

 

[The Boosh!]

Yes mate it is that. Sorry I didn't spot it. Its 100% the kew/alto one As the nilfisk range of pressure washers are called "alto" I think lol.

 

[Gaz.]

No worries Luke, if you hadn't said look at I4D I'd never have seen that

 

[RussZS]

Yep, defo Kew/Alto
