MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So Santa brought me a pressure washer for Christmas, never had one before so after reading a few recommendations on here he kindly sent me a Nilfisk core 150.
thought I would give it a Whirl the other day. We have a fair bit of moss on the concrete path around the back of house so that was the test run. Wow, cleaned it all off no bother. Then it started….Hmm those gutters look a bit dirty I wonder..pow, all clean. Next, the fence has a fair bit of algae on it….zap and it was gone. Ok I now need to do the other side of the fence too to match it up. Hmm, since I did the path at the rear I guess I should do the front too. Ok, since I have done the paths the drive now looks odd so guess I need to do that. Right, since I have machine/hose all the way to the bottom of the drive I might as well do the grubby looking wall, ok now I need to do the footpath out the front of the house as it’s thick with moss…..hmm I have cleared a lot of crap out onto the road now….NO! FFS stop man, do not power hose the bloody road! I didn’t. Time to pack it away, oh but the aluminium ladder that sits by the fence is all covered in algae, maybe just one last zap….. 2 days! 2 days at it!
anyone else find them bloody addictive?
today, I am going to try it on the car, one of the main reasons I got it. Somebody stop me!

Go a little bit cautiously with that. My neighbour set about his car some years ago, and the paint began to pop off some of the plastic parts (front bumper, mainly). He stopped, pronto. It was an N-reg Escort, mind, so it's admittedly fair while back.
First thing i did...
Massive cock and balls on the garden path.
Don't store it anywhere it can freeze. Ask me how I know

Someone advised me to run the pump with no supply hose attached after use to prevent ice destroying it. I run it without the lance until it splutters to avoid running it dry, which is also bad obviously. Not had a problem with ice.
Get rid of the lance it came with and buy one of these (or similar)
My lance still gets used for occasional jobs but cleaning the car with this with the correct pressure nozzle fitted is so much easier with the added benefit of knowing the pressure is right to make damage unlikely. See also bikes.
Have you got a Snowfoam Lance? That's the only thing I use mine for on the car, and that's really therapeutic.
