After all these posts I still feel no closer to making a decision what to get. 3 different websites linked in this thread and each with no clear answer as to why that's definitely the one to go for. I feel lost.

I don't want to buy cheap now and in a years time find myself buying again because I feel the weakness of that machine, but then why waste money on going over kill. But then why not spend a couple hundred more on a slightly better machine, and all of a sudden it escapes to spending a thousand more, but that machine pump is bad, or the motor there's better out there.

Too dizzy

Suzuki GSX 600F, could pull wheelies in 5th gear quite easily 

How do you manage to run at 20.....I run at 75 with a rinse bar.....will try halving that tomorrow and see.

Did a PW job today and many folk have asked if its better to softwash first then PW the area or the other way round. I did both today on stone coping stones purely by mistake so decided to focus on the result. The ones that were PW first and then softwashed came up alot better than the ones that were softwashed first which makes perfect sense. So if anyone needs to softwash copings, Indian sandstone or steps then its better to PW it first. 😉

Always the way I've done it too

Just the one side needs cleaning. I had a go at it today and failed miserably. I sprayed it with Virosol and it didn't touch it. It doesn't matter if chemicals are used as the drain off is to the ground.
