My dad's pressure washer has finally dies after 12 years, a Karcher.

Can anyone recommend a really good one, up to aprox £200 that would live a
while, used once a week, and is powerful, to do car and patio etc

Mine is a cheap Woolworth's one, 8 years ago, under £50 IIRC.
It's a Deltajet Pro 1200, made by Lavorwash (made in Italy).
Hasn't given any trouble yet. Used for washing car, cycle, and
during drought years, for watering the front lawn (just edging
borders around the drive). It's always fed from the water butt
and I thought the sandy water would knacker it quickly which
is why I bought a cheap one, but it's survived OK so far.

Probably not a model which is still available, but just shows
you don't need to spend a fortune.
