Pressure washers
Thinking of treating myself to a pressure washer after having used one
belonging to a client and seen what it can do to clean up a drive. Would appreciate suggestions as to best make/model without breaking the bank. The one I've used is a Karcher model 100 bar but it is awkward to lug around. have seen a Bosch model 130bar max advertised at £109.00 which looks appealing but as with all these things it is good to get recommendations, or otherwise.

Jim I understand from an expert in such machines ( he repaired my KEW pressure washer which cost £300 13 yrs ago and would be £450 to replace today ) that the cheaper models of pressure washers although they do the same job they simply do not last They have a built in life expectancy of a certain number of hours of use .........this apparently can be evidenced by the huge pile of defunct Karcher machines returned to the manufacturers by B and Q I guess its even bigger when it comes to the £50 jobs all the DIY stores sell If you are only going to use it once a year on the patio then the Bosch should be great especially if it has wheels etc .......but if you want to use it week in week out you might need to consider a more expensive model |

I have a Karcher and find it to be very effective. Yes, it is rather heavy, but that is unavoidable if you want a high pressure and high flow rate. Franz |

Pressure washers
You can get the BOSCH Ahr 1500 for about £149. I have one, got it online
from magic mowers and it is really powerful. Hve not heard much about jcb models though . John "Greg" wrote in message ... "Jim Paterson" wrote in message ...

Jim I use the Bosch 130 model and find it very good, certainly gets everything off my patio and path. Mike www.british-naturism.org.uk |
