I bought one of these machines at my local Tesco. I've used it once,
to do my short drive, about 5 months ago. Went to clean the patio
today and the thing started slowing down and smoke coming out, and
little pressure. I can only guess that the pump was siezing. There was
a good water supply and no hose kinks, all as per the book. When I
disconnected the pressure hose it really blew off.

Anyone had this happen to them? Any suggestions on what to do about
it? Lost my receipt now, but still have the box etc.



If you paid by card take statement washer and box back to tesco and ask for
money back. Then buy a better quality pressure washer
