Default Help me to chose a pressure washer.

Hi there,

We are looking to replace our Kinzo pressure washer with:

http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products...3570&Pid=3570a or

http://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products...om.asp?ID=2984

The Nilfisk has a better flow rate and pressure.

Will be used occasionally for cleaning the patio and car, both have a
patio attachment and car brush, won't really use the car brush though.

Which one would you buy?

I actually have exactly that model of Karcher, bought last year. It
works just as designed and hasn't gone wrong yet. The detergent hose is
fiddly, I'd prefer one with a built in tank. It can be difficult
sometimes to connect and disconnect the high pressure hose. It works
fine for cleaning the car and hosing off bicycles.

Personally neither, because they both have universal motors. However, a
choice between the two & I'd go for the Nilfisk Alto.

Karcher = worlds largest mfg.
Nilfisk Alto = worlds second largest mfg.

Thanks for that, the FAQ was useful.

The usage is not going to be very heavy, although I clean the car
often I do not use a pressure washer every time.

The thing I like about both the pressure washers is the patio
attachment after getting soaked and taking very long to clean the
patio I think it will be a good change.

So it looks like we will get the Nilfisk owing to it's better flow
rate and pressure.
