Title: Pressure Washers
Post by: niceandclean on April 24, 2007, 08:39:44 pm
Hi, im looking to buy a new pressure washer as the new one i bought is not man enough. I will be using it for gutter clean and clears, and driveway cleaning. I want to use a surface cleaner with it, so what i need to know is the best petrol run pressure washer to buy, and also where to buy from. Any help would be gratefully recieved!!

like i said it's all down to price. you could save 4-500 pound and get a lower spec one that will work just as good. by lower spec i mean 6.5hp in stead of 13hp and 150 ish bar instead of 250 bar. it might take a little longer to clean an area but if tour only using it once a week it' worth considering.

I am in the same boat, and still looking. You can finds loads on Ebay but most are potty. The main players are jetmac systems from County Down, and "musthave it".
Trouble is, some are buy-it-now, some for auction, some are honda&interpump and some anonymous far eastern, some are plus vat & some inclusive, some carriage paid and some £55 or £60 +vat carriage. Confusing or what?
If you want to drive a whirlaway or similar with it I should think a minimum of 300psi and 16lpm flow rate is needed. What does anyone else use?
