Why buy cheapest?

It's a pretty expensive game to enter when one has no experience or knowledge about Pressure Washing.
I just jumped in and was lucky buying the Vanguard then I added a hose reel which was £500 without hose. I now have 3 twin turbo lances at £250 each so when I add it all up I'm over £10k due to two Falch nozzles.
Would only do a £100 job when I have a full day PW so I can do them all together. If you start early then you can fit 3 jobs in and make it worth while.

You still haven't answered the question. Why buy cheapest? It's a mug's buying cheapest because you'll be buying cheap quality, and Adam has now found that out. If he was relying on this machine to be making a living he wouldn't be putting food on the table right now.

Pressure washing easily will give you £400 a day, you're a mug for buy cheap.

I think the tipping point will be if Trump gets in. He is trying to work with big oil companies. Next year will be interesting and China are selling EVs at half the price of their competitors.

Not sure how old trumpster would make much of a difference. As you say it's China that appear to be driving the EV revolution. America would do well to not let their current market dominance slip into the hands of the CCP.

I guess they will have to ban petrol lawnmowers, strimmers and hedgecutters and of course petrol/diesel powered boats?

I've got a gardening business. We use all electric strimmers and hedge trimmers. Stihl ones. They're great.

Not mowers unfortunately, they only really last 1 lawn which isn't much use to us.

I'm sure it'll get there.

I don't much care for boats.

Hi
IMO don't waste your money. Buy a conventional van. Ask Citroen about their Battery driven Berlingo's. Replacement batteries cost a fortune and their resale value is nothing. They don't even sell them anymore - a total disaster.
You still had a small fuel tank to supply the heater to keep the cab warm. If you forgot to put fuel in the tank it cost a fortune to bleed to fuel line to the fuel heater and clear the safety lock on Lexus - PSA's computer workshop system.
Look at the resale prices of a 3 year old Hybrid Honda car. Now compare it with diesel. We have a customer that manages 50mpg with his 1400 petrol Hybrid. The diesels do that anyway. The diesel and the hybrid cost about the same new, but resale value kills the deal for the Hybrid.
No matter how much Government support is for the electric car, it will die in a few years.
Spruce.

Some things never change  ;D

No pal - You know I've been over that way in the past with the Sainsbury's but not for a long time.

It's so far away  & so sh*t to get to there should be helicopters to get there in an hour.

Someone made a mess of a job?

I think I know what it is - I've got to go and blast off my old horse trailer shortly.

I'll try and get a photo of how when I'm on long jobs I stick the trigger and hand holding it into my chest and shoulder
