But is it a decent machine? I know you can spend ten times that if you
want to but all I'll be using it for will be to snow foam the car and
clean the patio, so is it OK for that?


The only Karcher I've dealt with is the one I'm in the process of
repairing for a friend so can't really comment on them outside that.

However, when daughter was looking for a PW she bought a Nilfisk and
really loves it (I can get the model number if you are interested).

Thanks Tim but it seems that not all pressure washer hoses are the same
so I'm not sure if I could attach the snow foam gubbins to a Nilfisk
but I know it will go on a Karcher, so I think I prefer to stick with
that if possible.


I think some of the connectors are interchangeable and if you aren't
in a rush and were interested in getting something that could be
considered 'better' than a Karcher (better VFM if not as cheap etc)
then having access to both, I could compare them for you.

If you are happy with the Karcher offerings then sticking with that
makes sense. ;-)

I've only owned one PW myself, a little Kew Hobby and as it's still
going I've not had to consider a replacement. ;-)

p.s. Are you looking to buy another Karcher because the previous one
failed somehow? Buy cheap, buy twice or would you have worn out any
make / model?
