Won't your dad now the difference if you bought another type? ;-)

Another Karcher otherwise it'll cost you well more for an industrial
jobby.

Aldi sell one around this time of year: around 75 quids. I bought one
last year --- it knocks the socks off my previous cheap job from B&Q
(which just conked out after about a year.

I'm pretty much sure that it's an "unbranded" Karcher: just have a look
at the two, and decide for yourself.

It is usually Lavor that Lidl sell. I bought one a couple of years ago
for £90 with the following spec:
2550 Watt
160 Bar
530 L / Hr
10m hose

Certainly served me well except the hose splitting but Lavor sent a
replacement no questions answered.

To the OP have a look at this Power Washer FAQ
http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/electrical/...washer_faq.htm

Is it worth using a Power Washer for a car? Can't it do more harm than
good (as well as being an extra bit of kit to get out).

As long as you don't put the nozzle too close to the car it is fine. I like
it for under the wheel arches.
