    I'm looking buying a power washer with a 110 BAR. That seems to be at the lower end of available pressure ratings. Would that be OK?

    Yes its fine.

    As with any pressure washer if you direct it directly at bad paint / bad laquer peel you will lift the surface. Common sense applies.

    Don't bother with karcher by the way, they're not all that. Get a higher spec model from a different brand, eg nilfisk.

    Cheers Colm. It is a Nilfsk C110 I have my eye on.

    Have something similar myself, the xtra model with the patio cleaner is worth the few quid extra.

    The one reduced to 74.99 in argos doesnt have the auto stop/start or the patio cleaner, the proper one is reduced to 97.99

    The auto stop means the innards will last longer.

    There seems to be a lot of different accessory packs. I hope the descriptions are accurate.

    There this one for bicycles and cars, includes a car brush and says it has the patio cleaner but I don't see that in the picture.

    This one is car and garden pack. Has foam applicator and a vario nozzle that is not listed for the argos one above.

    I saw one too with an under-chassis nozzle/lance.

    Not sure yet which to go for :confused:

    I wouldn't use the brush yoke on a car. The 90 degree nozzle yoke looks good on the Argos one, but how often would you really use it?

    If you have concrete outside your house, I'd def recommend the patio cleaner attachment, you can also use it on walls.

    I'd prob get the one off amazon if I were you.
    Argos one has the foam bottle alright
