Don't buy anything with a chinese engine - when it (and it will) goes wrong - you'll struggle for spares.

Buy for Screwfix or Machine mart and at least you'll have a guarantee.

What sort of height are you needing the telescopic pole to reach to?

Jed I, where did you get your lance from?  theres a couple on ebay for around 135 - looking at the video you posted you can change jets etc.

Thinking it could be a useful bit of kit, might even go chinese at that price.

After my 2 hand hand oriental one packed up, way back,  I've not bothered replacing it - bought a gutter vac instead and have been pushing those jobs.

You're not thinking of selling your pressure wash stuff too are you?
