DaddyCee Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi People. Very interested in getting a Karcher washer for cleaning the A Class and the 350Z. Also would like to use it for the patio. What's the best model if I had a budget of £150 - £200 to go for please? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Does it have to be a Karcher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Just search the web and buy the most expensive Karcher you can afford. Tbh though even the basic one will do you fine. I've got one sat in the shed, I don't even use it to wash the cars any more. Only does the patio once a year, bit of a waste really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I bought a very good Nilfisk (circa £450 IIRC but half price) and the quality is 100 times better than karcher in my opinion. Costco had a pile of Karchers in when I was in the other day though, great warranty (you might well need it ) and cheaper price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I saw one in Tesco the other day, looked pretty cheap and it definitely had a patio attachment with it because I remember thinking that would be useful seeing as I live in a 2 floor flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think the K2 is a reasonable price and comes with the patio cleaner attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Tbh, IMO, they are only good for cleaning patios anyway. Waste of money if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 patio cleaner works very well I have to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 this is the one I saw at Tesco Lakeside Karcher K2.385 T50 Pressure washer was £198 now £89.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envy Valeting Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I got through 3 Karchers in one year, my Nilfisk lasted much longer and was similarly priced. I now run a Kranzle which is a lot more money but if it breaks it can be rebuilt. The Karchers etc go in the bin! Another long lasting make I had was Lavor. Just buy the best you can afford but I dont rate Karchers myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the same Karcher for 15 years.... although it has had 5 new lances and 4 new bodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I had a lavor before my Nilfisk. Lavor was super cheap and very powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyCee Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 thanks all. might look at the other brands as well. not really going to use it for cleaning the car every week, just when it needs to be done quicker than the two bucket system. can they be used for snow foaming?

Stew Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 They can be used for snow foaming with the right attachment. A power washer is perfect in conjunction with 2BM. I use mine primarily for the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoker11 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have just bought the Karcher K2.385 from Tescos.Tried the patio/block paving cleaning attachment out and was well impressed,after years of having a bad back after jet washing the garden i'm looking forward to a easy life.Also got the window washing attachments so i've also binned the window cleaner!!!(Cost too much for a rubbish job!!!)
