Powerwasher advice please

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I would really like to buy a power washer for cleaning my eglu, as I can see that so many people recommend them, but where do I start?

 

There seem to be so many different types on the market and a huge range of prices.

 

I would like it to be able to really blast the patio too.

 

Does anyone have any advice please?

 

Alma :D

I would like to know the answer..i bought a cheapie that was brill but when that broke i bought another instead of going for Kercher?? (supposed to b good but i really dont know how good)

 

the second cheapie i got is rubbish so really i should have gone for a better one. The only thing i didnt like on either is the hose that runs to the jet on both it always ended up twisted on itself(I think u can get spirally hoses??)

 

Someone more knowledgeable :doh:

I have a Karcher. Bog standard. £99 from B&Q on a wheely thing. It is fine for the job.

 

I used to have a Bosch, which was so heavy that I never used it.

does the hose tubing get tangled up(the cheaper ones get twisted and the plastic tubing is so blooming hard to un twist?? ) The Karcher ones do seem to have a good reputation..as u all seem to have that manufacturer

I got a small Karcher, it's light enough for me to carry around. I chose Karcher partly because so many people on here seem to have them, and also because I thought it would be easy to get accessories to fit it.

 

Mine was about £40 on special offer at Homebase (sorry ANH! :wink: )

I started a thread on just this topic not long ago :lol: .

 

I ended up getting a mid-range Karcher (it was just under £60 from B&Q). I'm really pleased with it and although I haven't used it a lot yet, it seems to work pretty well.

 

ANH thought i remember someone starting a thread anyone have the tubing twisting on the Karchers?? my cheapies have done in past...

 

I think that karcher will b a next purchase :)

I used my £60ish Karcher yesterday to clean the eglu - it's fab (although I must watch where I'm pointing the sprayer - a small wall meant I got completely soaked with the splashback :roll: ).

know what u mean..my husband and son were splattered and as my husband got called to work i took over the last bit and got splattered too...we were drenched..the new chickens took off to the other end of their run incase we decided to get them too..but for such a small Karcher it was a proper little work horse and only has the motor of a hairdryer! v impressed with it...did a big area..

 

:lol:
