step dad got given a "really good one" years back. was rubbish. I'm often tempted by them, but sceptical too. not much help i know, but i'd only buy one a mate recommended or i'd had a chance to use prior to purchase

Halfords have a Karcher:

Good bit of kit for the money.

Nah, going out to buy it's bigger brother in a minute though! Had the £100 Halfords one which dad bought and lost the receipt for, and it's lasted 6 months.

They have some in Aldi at ewood ,on the left as you go through the door . £79 , 3 year warranty not karcher but their own brand . I can't vouch for the quality but having a 3 year warranty i should imagine they are reliable . Just keep your receipt safe . I don't know if karcher attachments fit the aldi ones either .

If i was buying one i'd serioulsy consider this one .

Karcher .Its an old one , had it for 9 years and used hell of alot so i've had my moneys worth out of it . There are quite a few different makes out there now , like the aldi one i mentioned . 9 years ago there was only really Karcher and Kew .

The ones on ebay are mostly reconditioned ones from what i've seen . I'd rather buy a brand new one , but thats just my personal opinion .

Looking at these . The aldi one is made by Karcher for aldi .

Don't buy a power devil or any cheap ones I have been stung a couple of times. Stick to the Karcher jobbies as they actually last more than 1 wash
