Advice on buying machine please
« on: May 14, 2013, 06:05:10 pm »
I am looking at buying a petrol pressure washer, and many give the "maximum litres per hour " but what is the best spec to look for when looking for a machine ?

This looks a good entry market model.

Thank you in advance.

If you have a problem with that though you may struggle to find parts as it's a copy engine.

If you want a petrol machine stick with Honda. Most reliable and not a problem getting parts or repair for. Chinese snide engines many workshops won't entertain looking at them.

Although I had a snide engine, costing around £400 to get me going, then moved onto better more reliable once the money was coming in.

Just wondered why you'd look at a machine down this way when there are better offerings closer to home. Go for diesel but genuine

I have done a couple in the past, or if i have an engine and pump then yes, but usually just buy broken or tired looking ones and repair / refurb / service and sell on.

Thanks, replied  ;D
I can highly recopmmend it mate, the only difference between that and gtfk is that they only do it one colour (buff) which is not a problem as most people want buff any way (sand / cement colour)

I was just using the machine as an example, but I do appreciate yours, and others advice on here.

Thank you.
