Having had two smallish Karchers fail due to the plastic pump housing
cracking I am looking for something more reliable - it must be compact - I
don't want a large piece of kit on a trolley. A local dealer told me that
they had now stopped stocking all 200, 300 and 400 series Karcher machines
as the high failure rate and cost of repairs was resulting in too many
unhappy customers. The washer is used for cleaning about 200 square
metres of paved areas and walls per annum and other occasional odd jobs
such as cleaning garden furniture.
I understand that ALTO (KEW at one time) who are now part of Nilfisk,
produce a compact range C110 that have metal pump housings. Grateful for
any feedback or suggestions.

Try using patio cleaner instead of pressure washer, much quicker and only £5
for couple of litres once a year. Stopped using my pressure washer to clean
the patio, mouldy walls etc after I discovered this method.
