Pressure washers???

Posted by Adam Woods on July 19, 2016 at 9:32pm in Machinery

Nilfisk or Kracher? then which model.

I'm upgrading from a cheapie and want something that is going to do gutter cleaning, patios, conservatory roofs etc.

Any recommendations to look at, or to avoid?

Thanks

Adam

    I cannot recommend a brand but for patios you need one with high water volume and high pressure at least 150psi  to get a decent one it will be into 4 figures I think there was a thread on here a few weeks ago also be aware that a lot of conservatory roofs are not sealed at the top of the apex and water will get inside

    I bought a Karcher 4 a few months back from Halford's. Pleased with it myself as it's used for the occasional jobs I do.

    We use a Kranzle 11/140 tst- it is the best pressure washer I have ever used and is seriously impressive. Makes a good Karcher look like a childs toy

    I've been using a Karcher K5 for sometime now with good results - 145psi.

    Thank you folks... some pointers there... I don't get enough use to justify the Kranzle, but it looks like an impressive machine.... I'm erring on a bigger K series from Kracher

    I have a petrol karcher. Discontinued but it's pretty damn good. It's done some solid days work.

    The attachment feature is what I really like.

    Will Probably get a small k for doing the van etc
