Universal motor, alluminium pump head. Reasonable performance inc water
flow.

Hose a bit short.

Three year warranty - about £28 a year then bin it.

Looks ok for the money - but for not that much more you can get a
half-way decent Karcher washer with an induction motor. [Or you *could*,
a couple of weeks ago when SF had them on offer]

Anyone watch the video? A bit laborious, isn't it?! I reckon they must
all be filmed in German, and dubbed into English.

The (optional) patio washer comes with an adapter which looks as if it
might fit a Karcher washer. Anyone know whether it *does*?

The one I got a year or so back came with a range of adapters,
including one that fits my Karcher machine.

The two Lidl models I've used (both rebadged Lavorwash) and the patio
cleaning attachment have been very impressive and better than father-
in-law's often malfunctioning, expensive to repair Karcher.

Had a LiDL pressure washer which supposedly had a 3 year warranty. It
packed up just after 1 year with water ****ing out from somewhere in the
works when the mains hose was connected (not at the hozelock-type inlet
connector). Returned to Lavor under LiDL's warranty arrangement, who
claimed there was nothing wrong with it and wanted about £50 to return it
(unrepaired). So maybe it had an intermittent fault which they'd not
repaired, or they'd mixed my unit up with someone else's (and presumably
not fixed the other unit's fault), or mixed it up with an already-fixed
one, or were lying. Either way I wasn't happy. Wrote to LiDL who said
they'd get back to me and didn't, for months, and long story short they
eventually refunded my money after I'd started court proceedings.

Next I'll buy from Screwfix or the likes.
