    Thought this was the most appropriate section.. Its a bargain after all the lidl pressure washer http://www.lidl.ie/cps/rde/xchg/SID-25233634-E17344BC/lidl_ri_ie/hs.xsl/index_18947.htm O Only on sale since Thursday went from my local shop extremely quickly,is it still available elsewhere?

    Thanks for any help.

    There were a few in Rathmines a couple of hours ago, if that helps.

    The Lidl (Parkside) Power Washer is actully 2100 watt and 150 bar pressure.

    See my pictures above.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,691 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    Would the Lidl washer be worth the extra €60?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭Pj!


    The Halfords one is pretty poor.

    Halfords one would be very slow going compared to a 150bar unit.

    Word of warning to people though 150bar can wreck the sidewalls of you tyres rendering them very dangerous. Max recommended pressure for washing tyres is 110bar.

    Reason why I bought the Lidl (Parkside) 2100 watt 150 bar power washer,was/is for cleaning down the likes of the patio area and also the driveway.

    Some serious whack off of it.:)

    Two questions for those with the washers...
    First, I assume the pressure can be dialled down for washing cars and stuff?
    Second, these are hardly Karcher models rebranded to Lidl's own?

    Think Ill go for the Halfords one, I suppose you get what you pay for.

    You cant dial down the actual bar pressure,but you can dial down the turbo lance to give a high power jet blast of water of else a wider,less powerfull flow of water (wider is ideal for washing a car).Theres also a 2nd lance for more delicate water flow and delicate cleaning.Then theres a brush lance too.




    Not Karcher rebrand.

    Lidl (Parkside) come with a 3 year warrenty too.

    Look at my picture on previous page to see what you get for the money.

    Buyer Beware!!!
    Hi bought a Parkside pressure cleaner PHD 150 A1 for €119-99 back in November 2011. The first time I used it the Rotating brush started leaking at the conection to the Jet Gun.Second time I used it (march 2012) the Jet Gun squirting water from the body/lance in every direction.
    Contacted the store and was told LIDL have 60 day rule and told me to contact Head office. I was then put in touch with Parkside (UK) who told me that the parts are covered under warranty but that it will up to 28days to receive the parts. (coming from Germany). Its now day 31 and still no parts.
    I don't thing I will buy anything Mechanical from LIDL again.

    For only £67.50 this Nilfisk would be a far superior pressure washer:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nilfisk-X-Tra-Pressure-Washer-Cleaner/dp/B001TUYV1O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335111007&sr=8-1

    It's got an aluminium pump which makes all the difference, and Nilfisk pressure washers are highly thought of.

    got the exact one (without the patio stuff) from amazon...very good power washer.

    Thanks Technique, This is a very good deal, Nilfisk is a very good brand, I will give this one a try as soon as I get my money back from LIDL.

    the Nilfisk one has far less power,

    or does the fact that its a better brand make up for this
