Pressure washer choice

[rsdan]

I've just got some halfords vouchers for Christmas and so I'm thinking about spending them on a new pressure washer as my old one recently stop working. I want one which is comparable with a snow foaming lance .Would this one be my best choice for the money and use on a car

Or is one of the others they do a better option for what I want ?

Cheers

Nilfisk with Autobrite snowfoam lance

I've had the Nilfisk C120 for about a month. It's very good especially for the money, would definitely recommend.

Whichever you choose, get yourself a proper snow foam Lance rather than the crappy ones that come with the pressure washers.

Thanks for all your helpful replies chaps, glad I decided to ask here first now as it looks like I shall be purchasing one of the nilfisk ones.

Yeah I've been looking into this as I read on here it is best to buy a proper lance . Do you know where the best place to order one of these from is?
Cheers

I've had an Autobrite one for years, totally abused and never serviced (never taken apart and cleaned) and it's still going strong.

Can I ask why people are recommending the Nilfisk over the Karcher? I've got a K2 & it's been fine (touch wood).

My old Nilfisk packed up on it after 4/6months.

I've got a Karcher K2, does the job.

I've heard people buy Nilfisk because they use a metal pump as opposed to the plastic pumps in Karchers that can crack, or something like that?

 

[leeds2592]

Yeh that's why I got my Nilfisk because of the metal pump rather than plastic. Was a few years ago now so may have changed?

I've had one of these for about 5 years spot on

We have a £350 Karcher at work and I have a £200 Nilfisk at home.

The Nilfisk is infinitely better in every respect. More powerful, better on board storage for the hose and electrical cable, build quality feels loads better.

My last Nilfisk (a £99 one) lasted 5 years and was used A LOT. It still worked at the end but it just didn't cut out when it should have when releasing the lance trigger. I'm pretty sure there was an easy fix for that too, but I just fancied a new one.

I bought this last week as my old jet wash, I think it was a Homebase"special" packed up.
Nearly 50% off and I imagine a lot better than the £150 Karcher we had on the boat.

@Aaron.. I've been battering the same one for the last two years. Great bit of kit for the money.

Also have a K2 to try out at some point, that came free with my home insurance. Will see if that's any good in comparison

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Should last me a lifetime then @Budgie as I rarely wash my car, it'll mainly be for washing my bike.

Another negative for Nilfisk. Did loads of research before buying my pressure washer. Packed in after 6 months and not much use. Going back under warranty, but nearest place is over half hour away and only open mon to fri 9am to 5am. Pretty annoyed really.
Started cutting in and out. Now just continually cuts in and does nothing.
Customer service useless

Kranzle. Only one you will ever buy.
