What do you think?

Just another uninspiring el cheapo pressure washer TBH. 6 litres/min isn't
much of a flow rate, 5m hose won't get you round a standard car.

That's a shame, the previous Aldi model was highly thought of. I
wonder why they have produced an inferior model this time?

£80 gets you an induction motor

(Makita just badge it).

£100 gets you an induction motor from the world leaders (parts easy to get)

The old Aldi one was a Karcher with induction motor; it's a shame the
new one isn't.

I recently borrowed a cheap (non-induction) Karcher and cleaned the
patio with it. I had never used a pressure washer before so I was
really impressed how much grime it cleared off. It made me think of
buying my own but having read posts here and on the wiki I knew that
one like I had borrowed had a short life expectancy so I know to look
for a metal pumped, induction powered one. If only I could find one
under £300
