High pressure washer

Advantages: Handy, cleans well, high power, easy to use
Disadvantages: Maybe length of hose, can get cheaper versions

...If your Like me and don’t like paying £6 to get you car gleaming and clean, then this product is a good idea. The Karcher K090 Pressure Washer helps me easily get my car in the sparkling condition I like it easily and cheaply. Fare enough you have to put the extra time in cleaning but if you do it your self then you know what standard it will be done to and take pride in the finished article. I have an issue with the mechanical brush drive through washers I don’t believe they can do your paint work any good at all, have you seen the bristles on the spinner brushes, they are nylon and spin at a far rate, I am sure this can ware down your paint after a while. Plus I don’t feel comfortable at the end when the blower starts it always looks like it won’t move out of the way will brake the screen come...

Bosch Aquatak 160 Pro X Pressure Washer

Advantages: Hose reel, well balanced, detergent tank, the king of its family.
Disadvantages: Accessories/additional lances etc are hard to find, but are available.

...Bosch bring to you the King of their pressure washer range, the Aquatak 160 Pro X! (If the title doesn't excite you then the specification certainley will) The ''Rolls Royce'' of the Aquatak range, its stylish body holds the 2800w heart, producing a maximum pressure of 155bar creating a 570ltr per hour water flow like no other Aquatak system. No job is too big (nor small) for the 160 Pro X. Now the many features include, a hose reel, (no longer do you have to wind the high pressure hose up by hand and it spring back to life in your face), simply wind it back up onto the reel and voila!, nice tidy storage. The detergent tank is removable as well, a little tricky but none the less it can be removed, i am not sure as to why people may want to remove it (pouring detergent into it is fairly easy) but it has that option to be removed...

The Best Pressure Washer Around!

Advantages: Powerful enough for pretty much any job!
Disadvantages: Perhaps slightly noisy

...I had a good look around for customer reviews of pressure washers before purchasing this one - until I was just about fed up of reading the word pressure washer!!! Well, the main reason for my purchase was because my patio was nearly black with mildew, moss & just about everything a patio gathers over quite a few years! I knew I needed a powerful one, as I bought a Power Devil one a few years ago & what a waste of time that was, think it was the same power etc. as this Karcher one, but would have got more pressure from holding my finger over half the end of a hose pipe!! This one was very easy to put together, then get ready for the outcome of my purchase as I turned it on! Well, the one thing that came into my mind was back to my childhood days when I wrote my name in the dust on my Grandma's piano - of course me being young...

Find a Pressure Washer

Advantages: Good coverage of manufacturers and lots of pricing information
Disadvantages: Explanation of some technical terms would have added value

...Its over two years now since I wrote a review on a Karcher pressure washer but I occasionally have a look at whats available and what I'm maybe missing! www.buyapressurewasher.co.uk is one of that growing band of comparison sites which takes the effort of searching around for information from different manufacturers and different suppliers (for pricing) I have to admit that I didn't realise so many companies offered pressure washers. Theres the ineviatable Karcher, Ryobi, JCB, Bosch, Ebauer, Draper and Sealey listed on the site. It just goes to show there's a big market out there. Two names that caught my eye were JCB, famous for Mechanical diggers and Ryobi, which I had always associated with litho printing equipment. Maybe one company manufactures the washers and the rest just add their own brand covers. I wonder? Anyway back to...

Under pressure!

Advantages: Easy to use, accurate, saves going out to the garage, good value
Disadvantages: None

...When you are learning to drive, you tend not to think about the boring bits of actually passing your test and then getting your own car. I remember when I went to buy my first car, my dad was on the phone telling me to ask the salesman about all the boring technical bits, and thank goodness he did because to be honest, I didn't have a clue. Since I've been on the road a lot more, he has been doing his best to educate me in the upkeep of my lovely little Micra and I'm now a dab hand at keeping thinking ticking over and running smoothly. The last thing I learnt to do was check my tyre pressures and how to pump them up, and this little gadget has been invaluable for that particular task! The Halfords LED Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge is a tool you can use at home to help you find out the PSI (Pound per square inch) of your car tyres. It...

Review of Halfords Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge

There's lots of pressure with this Boscher washer

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

...I?m going through a bit of a gardening stage at the moment, The wife assures me that it won?t last, that made me feel a little inadequate for a while until I realised she meant the gardening stage and not what I was thinking. Anyway, It is that time of year now when the garden needs to be prepared for the winter months, cutting, trimming and general cleaning, so a few weeks ago, I decided to clean the ?gunk? and stuff form the decking and the paving stones, so I grabbed my old faithful pressure washer from the shed and set it up. Sadly, with the sound of a hiss and a sort of fluttering shudder my old faithful pressure washer died on me mid wash, leaving me with half the garden looking clean whilst the other half seeming to resemble a swamp monsters holiday park. But with the wife not to impressed with me wanting to leave the garden as...

Review of Bosch Aquatak 1250

Man, this blows!

Advantages: compact, comparatively cheap
Disadvantages: none come to mind!

...It was a few months back now, in summer (remember that?) when my mum decided that our block-paved front garden needed cleaning. She was absolutely right - in places it was hard to distinguish the blue bricks from the red ones! Our first attempt at cleaning involved trying to use an archaic pressure washer, kindly loaned to us by a neighbour. Sadly this was doomed to failure before it began as the hose they gave us with it was in a terrible state and kept leaking from one spot or another and the old attachments didn't fit our kitchen sink properly, since it has one large tap, which was hence too large for the regular tap fitting. After much leakage on the hallway carpet, the kitchen floor and me (!!), we decided to head to B&Q to buy our own hose and, since it would be problematic to find a modern hose compatible with the old pressure...

Review of Karcher KB1010 Pressure Washer

Spray that again!..

Advantages: Quick & easy to use.
Disadvantages: Must be used with caution.

...The Karcher K090 is a small, compact pressure washer, it does not use large volumes of water, nor does it profess to be the best, but I have had one for a couple of years now, and I can actually recommend it, and that is saying something coming from me! In practice, the unit is very easy to use, and it is extremely good at removing moss and dirt from concrete.It cleams plastic rainwater products and planters, as well as stone flags. The instructions included in the box are just right, they tell you all about the equipment, and also give tips. the packaging is very good. The colour is yellow, I suppose that is cosmetic, I can't think of a reason for it. All fittings are standard, so you can just plug in your Hoselock garden hose or whatever without special adaptors. As for the weight, it is easily carried and I suppose you...

How Pressured Are You?

Advantages: none really unless you have low pressure
Disadvantages: lots if you have high pressure

...Blood pressure is a measure of how forcefully your blood is pressing against your artery walls with each heartbeat. Blood pressure is gauged by two numbers such as 120//80 which is spoken as one twenty over eighty. The first number is called systolic pressure and the second number if diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is the one in the arteries when they are filled with blood and your heart is beating and the diastolic pressure is the one when your heart is resting between beats. In the UK it is considered that your blood pressure is fairly normal if your top reading is between 110-140 and bottom reading is 70-90, although 120/80 is about the most average you can get and apparently this is the roughly the range to aim for. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE In general if you have high blood pressure you should be aware...

Review of Member Advice on High Blood Pressure

grace under pressure

Advantages: excellent value, quick, accurate, fully automatic
Disadvantages: not aesthetically pleasing

...This isn?t cheap tat as the £9.99 price tag would indicate. I was inspired to write this review because I was horrified at the price tag of most of these BP monitors. I never realised the price that some of the brands were going for. I have one of these; I also bought my dad one. I also have an Omron R6 but I have decided not to review it once I found out it was being sold for £75, you see I paid £4.99 for mine. Admittedly the Omron looks nicer than Lloyds but not that much nicer. The Lloyds is actually a £50.00 machine but the price is reduced to £9.99. Admittedly the price cuts are not all down to altruism; Lloyds are a rapidly developing pharmaceutical market leader, their market share has increased by 67%. They have achieved this by placing pharmacies in GPs surgeries and doing free health checks i.e. diabetic and blood pressure...
