Hi All,

I'm considering buying a pressure washer mainly for for path and patio
cleaning.

I'm drawn towards Bosch models as I can buy these on very good discount
terms however there is clearly no point in buying a pup however good the
discount is.

Has anyone got any experience of Bosch models- good or bad please.

Bosch normally have a policy of buying up companies to get into new
market areas.A few years back they bougth Qualcast and Atco to get into
Lawnmowers.

Does anyone know who they bought to get into pressure washers?

TIA

Bob

Bob,

I believe they are re-badged Karchers.

I answered a point in an earlier thread about Karchers and love mine. If
you have a heavily soiled path etc. then one of the best accessories that
makes hell of a difference is Karchers 'dirtblaster'. The extra power of my
Karcher and using this tool has left a very noticeable difference between my
drive and the neighbours who only has a standard lance and a less powerful
machine. The only point I'm making is get a powerful one, and try and get
one that takes this accessory if you think you may need it. B&Q's own
Performance Pro washer comes with this accessory too. In the longer term
make sure you can get replacement hoses etc. Although they are dear in the
shops, at least Karchers have all the bits readily available widely.

Thank IMM

I'd heard something similar but I can't see a Karcher model that looks like
the Bosch AHR 1500 AS which is one I can get a good deal on.

Well I took the plunge and bought a Bosch AHR 1500 and I'm very pleased with it.
There looks to be some Karcher link-up although karcher accessories don't fit it
directly. It comes with an adjustable lance and a rotating ball, Dirt Blaster'
type lance very similar to the Karcher.
By way of a thank you to this NG readers who have help me many times, if anyone
wants one of these and is prepared to collect from me in Southampton area, I can
get them at half normal retail price. Please contact me direct.
