    I'm looking to rent or borrow a powerwasher for just a few hours to clean off my balcony. Any ideas where I can get one (or anyone here have one?)

    Thanks!

    Nick

    Ring Woodies and B&Q. I know B&Q rent out carpet cleaners so maybe other stuff too.

    If in no hurry check Aldi/Lidl for their deals on power washers, they're handy for car/patio/whatnot anyway.

    We were in Argos yesterday - they have a nice karcher (ex display) with a tiny scratch on the front reduced to 89 euro. No idea if this is a good deal or not.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Looks like I can get one for a day from Samhire for €35, or buy the Karcher for €90. The first is probably a better idea, given I'll only use it once a year (then have to store it).

    I'd be in the same boat as your twiga. Handy thing to own, but my tiny garden shed can only hold so many ALDI power tools.

    aldi westside have ones for 60 euros, you'd be mad to rent one for 35, there pretty compact too.

    They're 45 at Aldi Westside now! Was there and had to buy it (only 10 euro more than renting)....Now I have to find somewhere to keep it... :/

    Plus now you can be the good samaritan and lend it to someone else in need. ;)
