I got mine from here

With the exchange rate the way it is I dont think you will get things cheaper from any other supplier.
Also Merrill is very informative

John, do you thinkit is worth me paying extra for an electric start? This machine will be powerfull enough to do driveways easily?

If I was buying one now I would go for one with the electric start. I have used mine in the winter and it takes a bit of pulling on a cold morning

Yes its a powerfull machine, Merrill emailed me when he sent it , and sent me a tracking number.
It took 2 days to get to Manchester , then 10 days to travel the other 50 miles to Fleetwood.Cant fault the service you get from Merrill
I would also  get a couple of spare air filters as they are very expensive over here

I'm  a little Sceptic, when it comes to buying  Abroad,

I know lots of guy's have had some good deals and saved loads of money, but what Happens when things go wrong? may work out expensive if you have to send it back under warranty.

I like to deal with someone within a drive away.   Just my thoughts. ;)

The Honda motor has a 2 year warranty, and can be serviced at any Honda authorized small engine dealer anywhere in the world, so im not that worried about that. I was more concerned with handing over money to someone miles away.

I've been in contact with Merril and although I'm not looking to set the pressure washing side of things up until early next spring I feel very confident I will be dealing with him. He has an exellent rep and very very helpful.

Only hope the exchange rate will be the same or even better in 6 mths and make some serious savings.

Anyone have a contact number for him?

Question to anyone who uses the gutter lance?

How do you avoid flooding the loft, when you wash the soffits down, especially the ones with the vents that are slits all the way along there length??
