pressure washer ?
« on: June 16, 2015, 03:21:53 pm »
Hello
I know this has probably been covereved but Ive done a search and cant find the info Im after,
Im thinking of doing pressure wahing as an add on but not sure what to get,
dont want anything massive as not much room in van it wont be used every day all day so wont need to be super heavy duty, I would like a whirl away aswell to go with it,
I want to try and keep under the £1000 mark for the lot
I have been looking at a clarke pressure washer but not sure if its good enough or if there is a better option
this is the one im looking at https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-pls260n-260bar-heavy-duty-petrol-driven
any help and advice much appreciated.

What sort of guarentee do you get with  that machine?  The spec is good, it must be a cheap engine ( not Honda)  but it's from machine mart, if you can walk into their store  and you get a years warrantee then it might be worth considering.

You won't get a FSC as well and keep it under a grand, I would forget it and use a turbo lance.

Lee Kenny has some good re-conditioned machines, he doesn't come on here much, but I can get you his number if you want to talk to him.

I use one of these and its been fine for 4 years. Mine is the older model outputting 18.1ltrs pm and it runs an 18" whirlaway without problems. If I was 100% PW every day I'd go for a Honda. For an add on this power washer is fine.

Check what the warranty covers first :) they may say a year but there is sometimes a clause to say you cannot use them commercially / continuously :)

Spend the extra and get a wheeled fsc - it takes some of the strain off the machine as it is not being relied upon to 'float' the flat surface cleaner. an 18" is about £395

On closer inspection that doesn't look like the original pump. I would question him about that.

The PowerSite is Genpower which is also three other online stores :D they do it to try to mug their distributors into thinking they aren't selling direct to the end user - the 18" whirlaways you are pre-ordering were ordered Tuesday and will be here in 8 - 10 weeks :D Direct from China on the slow boat to Swansea docks

Thanks chaps that pressure washer on ebay looks abit suspect.
If they say its for contractors they cant argue about warranty really.

If the want to they can say anything. Running it without oil, cooking the pump by leaving it running with no water moving. Anything really. What is machine marts reputation like?
