| good idea pressure washers.. just be carefull tho, mind not spray directly in to the air intake ducts, and mind the wheel bearings are a little prone to being damaged by pressure washers. |

Looks pretty good, tempted to buy one o these too. Might even go for the V-17 model cos that has a built in rechargeable battery and all same features for £130 delivered.
here it is a wee bit cheaper

45psi mode is a Spray pattern and the 130psi is a very narrow jet.

Been going to buy one for years but when you can borrow the auld dears, it makes it hard to put your hand in you pocket and pay for ne yourself.....or is it just me.

| Some of the Kracher power washers you can use a tub opr bucket with a syphoning tube as it draws the water rather than being water fed so to speak |

I bought a Karcher aff the telly ,'Ideal World' shoppin channel ,err actually it might've been aff their website ,anyway ,it was 3 monthly payments of £33 ,what a great wee washer ,it came with the T-racer patio cleaner ,normal lance and a high pressure lance ,it works great.
It also came with a bag of detergent ,and i'm thinking,fek ,that'll no last long ,but its amazing how very little soap it goes through .
I saw same washer recently on ideal world ,but i'm sure it was 2 monthly payments ,rather than 3.
