so what is the verdict on these?? are they any good?
i do a fair bit of powerwashing but hate doing tarmac and asphalt as it very hard to to them without leaving lines. Are these any better at leaving a level clean?
-
If you've a decent enough washer to run it then it should work well.
Minimum 15 litres a minute, 13hp, 3600psi for those rotary washers IMO.
-
personally i wouldnt waste my money on chinese rubbish, get a decent fsc from a firm like duel pumps or jet wash direct etc, you dont know what you are buying on ebay and where do you get the spare parts or get it fixed?/
-
but are these things any good?? do they do exactly as they say on the tin??
-
well make sure you can get parts or get them fixed by someone if you are paying a lot of money, i go for the well known makes to be safe.
-
i understand u need a good qualitty one, but apart from that what kind of finish do they leave, are they easy to use, what surfaces can they be used on etc etc??
-
anyone?? any and all feedback is appreciated.
-
you can clean any surfaces with them which are flat. just turn revs down on machine when doing decking.
-
If your going to get one then go for the mosmatic range there're about the best make out,but costly http://www.mosmatic.co.uk/subcat.php?catid=1&cname=Surface%20Cleaners
like someone mentioned make sure whatever model you get that your machine meets its spec.
I've a couple of pro's and con's about the one i had
Pro's
you can cover a vast area alot quicker
no stripping
no splash back what so ever
less fatigue
Con's (and the reasons why i got rid of it)
you cant go right up to the edge you still end up going back over the area with your lance/nozzle which imo on a very large area can add up more time on a job.
Flat surfaces,means just that,they have a habit of ponding on slighty uneven surfaces,where's the water will pond on a dip and reduce the affect on the nozzles you end up going over the same spot again.
They dont blast the dirt away,if your not on a slight slope you still have to go back and rinse the dirt off i had to end up getting a water broom cos of this http://www.northerntooluk.com/products.asp?partno=222552E&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Site-_-Google%20Product%20Search-_-Pressure%20Washer%20Chemicals-_-Prod-222552E
They scratch easy even if they are stainless steel
I had the 24'' one was a pain in the a**e havin to keep moving about in the van they take up a bit of space.
All in all,by all means get one,but in the end i bought a twin turbo nozzle lance and found large areas just as quick using this instead
It's up to you,these are just my opinons
-
try www.sweepfast.co.uk got one of their blue ones works great and half that money.lasted 2 years already.
-
the sweepfast ones certainly are cheaper!! are they any good?
-
try tech-clean - Products
-
mine is fine but i do mostly driveways and still tend to use my turbo nozzle more. but that is just a preference.
-
turbo seems the fave!
