It's a good tool but by the looks of it the one used in the vid is a cheap fake.

That ranks up there with one of the worst PW videos I've seen, he's using a Karcher as well so im guessing it's running of electric.

The only ones I've found to last the distance are the Mosmatic range.

Water and electric are never a good mix ;D. You are completely independent with a petrol or diesel machine (apart from water) These types of machine make the job profitable. Electric ones generally are a waste of time.

Really ? The guy in the video i spoke to him today and he had a commercial Karcher and he said he was very satisfied with his jet wash, as it does what he wants from it and also he just use customer electricity which is FREE   ;D

You shouldn't even be using a PW on those tiles.  Stating you are a professional company and the PW'ing that floor is a contradiction of terms.  Furthermore the biscuit coloured encaustics were still filthy and ingrained with dirt.

I mean, if you're going to buy a crappy 240v pressure washer and expect to stand out from a crowd and do a good job you may as well save your money and just ask the customer if you can use their pressure washer as it will probably do the same job.

No warranty on an electric karcher if its being used for professional work - build quality is poor and they will have a limited life as a consumer item (see them at the dump all the time) so doubt they would last ten minutes in daily use.
