[Closed] budget pressure washer

Tesco are doing the K2 compact for £50.

Please don't buy the Karcher.
They are awful.

Ours lasted about 20 hours of use before expiring messily with a cracked pump.
A very common issue I believe.

OK rusty. I kinda thought that may happen. Karchers tend to make £200+ washers, and for £50 are going to be pants really.

Argos are doing black and deckers, Bosch and VAX at my budget, and own brand stuff.

Any ideas?

Ordered a Nilfisk as a replacement, but not arrived yet.
Seem to be the most highly recommended brand.

If you have a search there have been quite few threads on here recently.

Cracked pump means it wasn't bled before use causing it to overheat. When you start your washer make sure the it's off and you fire the hose until it runs air free. Then turn electric on and clean away. My karcher runs flawlessly thanks.

No, it means that Karcher K2's have a well known design fault that appears even when following the instructions to the letter.
Thanks.

We bought a wickes one a few years ago for about that and it has been pretty solid - my wife normally burns things out but it last her cleaning the patio.

Echo the words above.

Many moons ago I used to sell pressure washers and at the time only KEW was a reputable enough name for domestic and DIY washers.

This is now Nilfisk and I have recently bought one of the below.

Can't recommend it highly enough for most DIY jobs and I got one of the refurb ones that are even cheapers (but not showing stock at the moment)

Nilfisk.

thanks all nilfisk ordered.
