Best value power washer at the moment and where?

[Daz.]

Was asked what I wanted for xmas so decided to get a better power washer (i.e one that works lol)

Whats the best vfm karcher available at the moment?

Depends on your budget?

 

[Daz.]

Hard to say!

Give me an example and I'll see

Tesco IIRC lad. Have a goosey on their website, usually quite a few deals.

 

[yellowbelly]

Well they range from about £49 upto over £300.... plenty of places to look i.e. Halfrauds, B&Q, homebase, Tesco etc etc

 

[Daz.]

£150 - £250 max I'd say, although if one at £170 is as good as a £250 on pretty much then I'll have the lower one!

JD I want something like yours is/was, something decent enough to use a snow foam lance with and rinse etc..

 

[Daz.]

Can someone explain power and bar pressures and what the mimium of each I shoul be going for?

I have a £30 pressure washer which produces max 100 bar. Got it from Argos over six years ago. I took a punt and bought a foam lance not knowing if it was good enough to produce a good foam. It literally coated the 197 in a thick (possibly too thick) foam in seconds. With the normal gun on it does a great job of removing all the crud and foam with ease. You don't need to spend a fortune to get a good foam result.

nilfisk c120 is a very well made PW imo. lots of power and not too noisy. <£80 iirc

How about this:

Not used this but seems a good deal.

Its not just going to be for the car now it'll need to be handy for washing the driveway so a decent powered one with attachments might be good.
