i stay well away from this make of washer , i have had 3 and all 3 broke inside a year and when i finally got through to karcher on the fone i had to take the washer to portadown only to be told each time they cant be fixed . i recently bought a cheap make one out of argos at 110 or 120gbp it has the cable on a reel which is handy and it makes great foam !

sorry but do you mean you had the halfords P/W or a Karcher p/w

the one im looking at in frauds was £200 quid now half price

seems ok and isnt the cheapest they do

i find the cheapest jetwashes any make does be it argos B&Q Karcher etc they are for light duties the odd wash . they have small motors and dont generally last long hence if you use regular they break

the 3 karchers i had ...2 cost 300 and the other was 400 ! the one i have now is as powerful as a 450£ karcher at a fraction of the money ! 2400 watts, 420litres per hour,max bar 180,bar rated 120....BUT if this brakes down i am investing in a engine run washer from a firm down the road ..maybe i should have bought one of these from the start !

also the karchers all had a universal motor which dont have a long life ! induction motors last longer anyway but its up to you m8
