My birthday is coming up next month, and am looking for a new karcher..my present one is about 10 years old, and on it's last legs :(

Which one do you suggest?

48 views, and no suggestions ??????:eek:

I'd suggest the best Karcher is a Power Craft pressure washer from Aldi.

80 quid for a Karcher-made high end washer.

Seconded.

Got one myself after my previous quite expensive Karcher failed early in it's life.

I will go for the third vote of the Powercraft and you can't go wrong for the price and the 2 Year Warranty.............all you need is to find an Aldi that is stocking one..............

and a 4th for the powercraft washer too

I have a Karcher B203 and that's still going strong after 3yrs+ *touch wood*

But if I were in the market, I'd be after the Powercraft as well

the K3.99 by karcher is a great machine i use one on a daily basis and it's fab,

they are nearly £150 in the shops but if you look round on ebay there are a few eshops that sell them brand new delivered for around £70 -80 this is how i got mine and it arrived quickly and works great.

Are you sure it's reliable? Frozen water?

haha they are you just need to thew them out first, lol

i thought mine was knackered the other day but i left it next to the radiater in the kitchen over night and it was fine in the morning

Glad it's sorted now

To be fair, none of them like the cold weather. There's a warning label on my 203 about frost....

FWIW the karcher I was using for years (2.35DB+) is still fine and runs ok, but it got replaced by the powercraft as it has a bit more grunt.

Thanks folks, I knew you would come good in the end..i'd been having a look at this one..bit pricey, but far cheaper than anywhere else..what do you think ?

Sure does and Karcher bits and pieces.........

Does anyone know what snow foam lance does the powercraft one accepts?

There are a few ways to get the Powercraft unit to except a snow foam lance:

1) Buy a Karcher Lance and then get a Snow Foam Lance with the Karcher Fitment;

2) Modify the Karcher Fitmern on the Snow Foam Lance to fit the Powercraft Lance;

I went for Option 2 and this works fine on mine.........

I am using an Elite Car Care Heavy Duty Foam Lance.........

Looks good Simon. What Snow Foam dilution are you using there? Do you mix it with a standard shampoo?

Thanks Steve...........

In these winter months I have changed to mixing the Snow Foam solution with some Megs APC which yeilds the results shown in the pictures above, works well..............

How did you "modify" the lance?

What about something like this?

I can post up a picture this evening when I get home but you simply just file down the brass connector until it fits, takes time as you have to file 4 bits but works well.........

Just looking for a pressure washer myself. The Karcher 3.99 is on Amazon at £99.99 but there is a review on the 2.99 where someone reckons that the 3.99 is too powerful for a vehicle paint finish. Doesn't seem very likely but any thoughts? It's only 1700 W.

Just saw the Ebay persons name!! LOL

Hey, this thread is rocking now..whoop whoop
