Reviews of High Pressure Cleaners »

Washing the car can be fun!

Advantages: Cleaning can be fun
Disadvantages: can get water everywhere !

I have recently purchased a Karcher pressure washer from QVC. It got trying it out during the 30-day money-back guarantee. The car has been washed twice in as many weeks after months of wearing a grimy overcoat except for the finger marks around the door handles. The wheelie bin has had a spring clean. As well as the driveway and footpath in the front garden, which have been restored to a pristine concrete shade, which we have not seen for a decade. ...
...lance for applying a frothy detergent to those surfaces that need a more than water pressure to clean them, like the first time I did the car. I then used the rotary brush to activate the cleaner and remove the dirt and grime from the paintwork. Afterwards, I used the 100-bar lance to rinse the car and attack the wheel trims. The path was cleaned with a 150-bar ‘dirt blaster’ lance with a rotating pencil-jet of water to make it more effective. This ...

Karcher Leaks like a drunk

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Leaks

...thought I'll buy a better Karcher model K5.00 (£175), after 2 days use pop! the internal connector became disconnected, back to B&Q for a refund. In summary, it seems that the sudden shock of the solenoid stopping the flow of water puts the internal connection under undue strain. (the (low pressure) hose kicks slightly when you release the trigger) I subsequently bought a Bosch 1250, which has been faultless so far, interestingly the solenoid seems ...

Karcher - Every Household should have one!

Advantages: easy storage, bargain.
Disadvantages: none!

...nights work. Just get your Karcher out there, blast the pond and Ta Da! A nice clean pond with visable fish.

I would definately reccomend this product to everyone! ...

Karcher Karcher Karcher, where art thou Karcher! Every home should have one, if there is one thing you buy this year, make it a Karcher pressure washer!

...detergent, i would recommend the Karcher branded detergent which is readily available, I found this the most efficient) dirtblaster (one mode attachment which optimises maximum pressure for hard stains), and rotary wash brush (spinning head due to water flow through attachment, perfect for windows and the car). Now you can pick this unit up complete for around the £140.00 marker, give or take a pound or two, and having used this model myself I would ...

There's lots of pressure with this Boscher washer

Advantages: Compact, quiet, easy to use and 'lance' for all jobs
Disadvantages: none at all

...of the compact washer itself, bosch certainly had safety in mind here then. The automatic motor stop feature, which is on most pressure washers, is a great addition as it saves everything from the water, electricity and the actual motor itself. It looks the part, with its sturdy upright manner and solid plastic blue body and black handle, the power switch sitting easily on the front if stood up, or the top if lay down. The two wheels make this ...
...really that heavy as it never fills with water. The main trigger handle is quite comfortable and the actual trigger squeezes with ease, giving your finger a breath of fresh air compared to some other pressure washers. It stand upright exceptionally well, resting on its two wheels and a little nipple like ‘wad’ of plastic just behind them, giving it a sturdy feel as the water is dragged through the washer before spraying out at tremendous speed. ...
