I'm currently looking for a pressure washer to tidy up our small back garden (paving, small bit of decking, fence, etc.). Nilfisk seem to get good reviews but there seem to a few around the same price but I'm unsure on the differences.

Can anyone tell if I am on the right lines with these:

Looking in Argos at:
Nilfisk Compact 120 HPW/Patio Cleaner And Brush - 1400W £90
Nilfisk Titan 120 Hpw Bar Pressure Washer - 1400W £100
Nilfisk Compact 120 Home & Car High Pressure Washer - 1400W £100

Link:

Thanks,
D.

That Titan one can't be run from a water butt, if that's a consideration...

Thanks - it'll be run from a tap in the garage.

Have a look at the nilfisk outlet - they often have good value refurbed units and cheap accessories

I got a karcher something or other for £55 from the official karcher outlet store. Was a bargain and hasn't flinched at all sorts of things it wasn't supposed to do (all legal I should add).

Had an Aldi one for years and it's never missed a beat. They are in store this week

Don't buy a pressure washer.

Get some Sodium Hypochlorite instead from your local swimming pool/hot tub chemical supplier.

Brush on and wash off with a hosepipe.

Job done but don't use on pressed concrete drives or concrete slabs as it will remove the colour from them.

Pressure washers also strip the surface of concrete slabs and paviers exposing the aggregate. How do I know this......

Guys, thanks this is v helpful.
The main job is that clear dirt & algae for the sandstone paving. We did this this last year & it came up great.
