I am looking to get a new pressure washer, anybody got any recommendations? Budget is £100-150, do most pressure washers came will foam lace accessories?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Karcher. All you need to know :happy2:
EDIT 17/08/2010 after a bit of review homework it seems that many folk find that Karcher are failing after mild use & are very expensive to repair:

So I'm going Nilfisk
-
Well I got a real good quite high spec Karcher on eBay. It was a recon washer but still comes with 1yr warranty :happy2: Retails at £279, got mine for £89.
Regard the foam lance attachments, this is where you need to spend a bit more :wink: The ones that come with the washers are pants mate.
This is what you want....

Nilfisk pressure washers are rated more highly over karcher at detailingworld.

+1 Nilfisk, its what i have and can be had for a good price if you look around, had mine a while now with no issues what so ever and think its a good unit

I have the same model as well, works great for the car and the bike and from what my parents tell me the patio thing isnt bad either. Cant really go wrong for the price

Is anyone using a Nilfisk pressure washer with a foam lance? If so, what fitment do you get?
EDIT: Sorry, looks like those two links come with foam attachments. How would this one differ from the ones Auto Perfection sell?

The supplied ones are nowhere near as good as aftermarket lances
-
Cool, and it's a Kew/Alto fitment you need?
-

I will be ordering today the below with the 'Kew/Alto/Nilfisk Bayonet (Push & Twist)' connector. This one seemed to also get good feedback on detailing world.

Which one would you suggest then?

Have you got a discount code for that side Andrew?
i4Detailing are one site i've looked to use a few times now as they have a discount code on DW to help bring the price down a bit, but all foam lances look to be in the £45-50 bracket when i've looked at retailers.

No haven't got a discount code for that site mate, will take a look. I thought the £50 price tag was about right. :happy2:
